Kenneth B. Clark, the
renowned psychologist and
scholar, who died of cancer
May I at 90 at his home in
suburban New York, was a
giant of twentieth-century
Black America and of its
struggle for civil rights, the
century's most ; powerful
example of human beings'
quest for freedom.
In that regard, one must
hasten to twin his"'name with
that of his wife, Mamie
Phipps Clark, who died in
1983 and was also a psychol-
ogist of note. Together, their
scholarly work and their testi-
mony in the early-1950s
school desegregation trials in
Virginia, South Carolina and
Delaware formed a significant
part of the evidence that pro-
duced the unanimous land-
mark Stupremne Court decision
of 1954 in Brown v. Board of
Edihcatliou. That, decision. bN
outlawing school segregation
in the South, destroy ed the
underpinning of legalized
racism itself.
In fact, it was Mamie
Phipps Clark's initial studies
* in graduate school in the late
1930s on self-perception in
African-American children
that quickly attracted Kenneth
Clark's attention (they were
already married) and led to
the rich, lifelong collaboration
that was to have an extraordi-
nary impact on American
society.

The Clarks' use of color-
ing tests and dolls, building on
the work some scholars had
already done, found that black
children very early developed
the belief that being white
was good and being black was
bad.
I This was the case whether
il the North or the South, and
it was, as author Richard
Kluger noted in his magisteri-
al book on the Brown case,
Simple Justice, "true even of
the three-year-olds."
"We were really disturbed
by our findings," Kenneth
Clark told Kluger decades
later, "What was surprising
was the degree to, which the
children suffered from self
rejection ... I don't think we
had quite realized the extent
of the cruelty of racism and
how hard it hit ... Let me tell
you it was .a traumatic experi-
:ence for me as well." It is no,
doubt difficult for many who
only know of today's
American society-in which
the rights and the presence of
Americans of color is support-
ed not just legally but also
culturally as well-to realize
how "whitewashed"

to appear before the 1960s.

THE CONDOLENCE CALL


The condolence call is dis-
tinct from attendance at the
viewing or funeral. It is a per-
sonal home visit made to a
bereaved individual or family
by relatives, friends, neigh-
bors, associates, acquaintances
soon after they have learned of
the death.
However,, the individual
who 'fails to go early to the
bereaved home need not
assume that he may not go
later. Condolence calls maybe
made at any time, before the
funeral or after, during the first
weeks of grief.
The condolence call has


several purposes. It expresses
sympathy and offers help in
difficult time. The bereaved
should know that they are not
alone in their grief, that there
are people who care about and
understand their sorrow.
It also helps maintain ties
between that person and the
society. This not only demon-
strates community support, it
can help the mourner from
slipping too deeply into grief.

Annual Job Fair a Success

Continuing my efforts to provide opportunities for
the many residents of the 3rd Congressional District,
and serve the needs of employers in the District look-'
ing for good, qualified employees, I hosted my Annual
Job Fair at the downtown campus of Florida "-" N
Community College in Jacksonville. This year the Job ''
Fair attracted more than 35 employers, who were
eager to talk with the more than 2,000 people in atten- ,
dance. Both employers and prospective employees .
had a chance to meet and share their interests and
needs, in a congenial and positive atmosphere.
Large and small employers were available from '
9:00 am to 2:00 pm and were met with enthusiastic Rep. Corrine Brown
and well prepared eager men and women who presented a very stable image of the
job seeker conducting a serious job search, and getting very encouraging feedback
from area employers. I was very pleased that we have evolved over the years to
become one of the premier Job Fairs in Jacksonville and offer such a diversity of
employers and applicants, which truly reflects a growing need among all our citi-
zens, the real search for real jobs. In fact, this Job Fair, like the many others going
Son almost everyday in cities across the nation, signals that we should be mindful
that true economic success comes when not just one person prospers,, but when all
have an opportunity to do so.

Ritz Chamber Players To Pay Tribute

To 'Beach Lady' At Amelia Music

Fest & Finale Concert In Jax


JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--
The critically-acclaimed
Ritz Chamber Players will
pay tribute to environmen-
talist MaVynee Betsch, the
outspoken advocate of his-
torically-Black American
Beach, Florida on Amelia
Island.
The double-date concert
will help mark the 70th
birthday of Betsch and her
life's work.
The conservatory-
trained opera singer-turned-
environmentalist has spent
most of her life fighting to
preserve the seaside resort,
that was home to descen-
dants of slaves before
becoming an enclave for
Southern blacks during Jim
Crow segregation.
The beach, co-founded
in the 1930s by her great
grandfather, Abraham
Lincoln Lewis, also turned
age 70 this year.
"This tribute is fitting
and long overdue for a
woman who has 'walked her
talk,'" said Ritz Chamber
Players' artistic director
Terrance Patterson. "That
MaVynee is herself a prod-
uct of the classical music
stage will make these two
performances that even.
more special and historic."
The first performance
that will feature the musical
tribute to Betsch will be
Thursday, June 2nd at 7:30
p.m. at Prince of Peace
Lutheran Church, 2600
Atlantic Avenue, in
Fernandina Beach as part of
the Amelia Island Chamber
Music Festival. .
The second performance


is the Ritz Chamber Players'
Season Finale concert
Friday, June 3, 2005 at 8:00
p.m. at the Times-Union
Center for the Performing
Arts' Terry Theater, 300
West Water Street in down-
town Jacksonville.
The composition dedi-
cated to Betsch will be a
songcycle by the late
William Grant Still (1895-
1978) entitled "From the
Hearts of Women." Like
Betsch herself, the
Mississippi-born Still, long-
considered"the dean of
African American
Composers," is an alumnus
of Oberlin Conservatory of
Music in Ohio.
After Oberlin, Betsch
left the United States to tour
Europe, singing primarily in
Germany before returning to
the First Coast in the 1970s
due to her health.
Her environmental advo-
cacy and life have been in
part the subject of books and
films, including a PBS docu-
mentary and a feature-length
motion picture, starring
Oscar-nominee Angela
Bassett,. loosely based on the
history of the beach.
Joining the Ritz
Chamber Players on stage
for both concerts will be
musicians from the Amelia
Island Chamber Music
Festival.
The joint performances
will mark the first collabora-
tion between the "neighbor-
ing" musicians.
Aside from Still, other
featured composers include
French composer Charles


Camille Saint-Sans (1835-
1921) Fantaisie Op.124, for
Violin and Harp; German-
born composer Andre
Previn: Vocalise for
Soprano, Cello and Piano,
Russian composer Mili
Balakirev (1837 b 1910)
Islamey (Oriental Fantasy)
for Piano, French composer
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)
Introduction and Allegro for
Flute, Clarinet, Harp and
Strings, and Brazilian
Composer Heitor Villa-
Lobos (1887-1959) Jet
Whistle for Flute. In addi-
tion to the featured piece by
'the Still, the musicians will
also play his "Ennanga for
Harp, Piano and Strings.
Headlining for the Ritz
Chamber Players will be
legendary principal harpist
of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra Ann Hobson Pilot,
soprano Alison Buchanan,
flutist Damare McGill, vio-
linist Tai Murray, pianist
Terrance Wilson and clar-
inetist Terrance Patterson.
Members of the Amelia
Island Chamber Music
Festival will be violist
Suzanne LeFevre, violinist
Beth Newdome, cellist
Christopher Rex, and violist
Geraldine Walther.
Tickets are $40 for the
Thursday, June 2nd 7:30
p.m., concert in Femandina
,Beach. and $32 for the
Friday, June 3rd, 8:00
p.m.concert in Jacksonville.

tiff, Attorney Cooper says,
"Dillard's knowingly has
maintained a fraudulent and
unlawful scheme in order to
increase its own revenues
and profitability to the detri-
ment of class members by
utilizing racially discrimina-
tory dual pricing schedules
for salon services.
At all times in advertis-
ing and selling these salon
services, Dillard's and its
agents did not disclose this
fact to African Americans
prior to providing the serv-
ice and products.
Dillard's had an affirma-
tive duty to monitor its
salon managers and employ-
ees to prevent this type of
racist activity.


Dillard's, a Delaware
Corporation, with its home
office in Little Rock,
Arkansas, owns and oper-
ates approximately 340
retail department stores
located in twenty-nine
states. With a concentration
of stores in the South and
Southwest, Dillard's has
faced at least three lawsuits
claiming racial discrimina-
tion since 1998.
The plaintiff seeks
injunctive and equitable
relief, compensatory tlam-
ages, punitive damages and
other remedies to compen-
sate class members for
Dillard's unlawful and
racially discriminatory con-
duct.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala. A
class

lawsuit
has been -
filed in
t h e f.
United
States
District
Court in Patrick Cooper
Court in
the Northern District of
Alabama (Western
Division). against Dillard's,
Inc. alleging racial discrim-
ination, deceptive sales
practices, and uncon-
scionable conduct relating to
the marketing and sale of
beauty salon services.
The civil action (No.
CV-05-TMP-0305-W) is
brought by plaintiff Debbie
Deavers Sturvisant, a resi-
dent of Springville,
Alabama, as a class action
on behalf of all African
American persons who have
purchased over-priced salon
services from any one of the
Dillard Salons in the United
States and who were harmed
by the nationwide course of
conduct practiced by
-Dillard's.
"The complaint, which
has been filed by Attorneys
Patrick Cooper and Percy
Badham from the Alabama
Law Firm of Maynard,
Cooper and Gale, PC, states
that "Dillard's intentionally
discriminated against the
plaintiff and class members
by charging them higher
prices for the same salon
service as those charged to
similarly situated Caucasian
customers and by specifical-
ly instructing their employ-
ees and. agents to charge
higher prices for the same
salon services based solely
on whether the customer
was African American or
Caucasian.
By charging higher
prices to African-Americans
for the same salon services
offered to Caucasian cus-
tomers, Dillard's violated the
rights of plaintiff and class
members to make and
enforce contracts for prod-
ucts and services on the
same terms as Caucasian
customers,'! the complaint
reads.
Debbie Sturvisant went
to the Dillard's Salon in
Tuscaloosa, AL to have her-
hair washed and set; she was
charged $30 for these servic-
es the price for a wash and
set for "ethnic" hair.
The price charged for the
same service provided to
Caucasian customers is
$20.00. ,
Vaughan Thomas, anoth-
er class member, experi-
enced the same mistreat-
ment at Dillard's in
Montgomery (AL) and tape-
recorded her conversation
with the stylists.
Upon questioning the
high price charged for serv-
ice, Thomas was told that it
takes longer for ethnic hair
to dry and more conditioners
are used.

Cedric The Entertainer: Honey Mooning Urban Style
by Rych McCain

This has been an active year for one of show business's
most popular and loveable comic/acting personalities,
Cedric The Entertainer. He opened the New Year as he has
for the last couple of Super Bowls with his ever-popular
"Bud Light" commercials. He was a mafia styled, hip-hop'
record company mogul in the MGM Pictures film "Be
Cool, opposite John Travolta. His new film The
Honeymooners (Paramount Pictures) is a remake the classic .. :
1950' s, CBS-TV sitcom. The original cast starred the late
comic great Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden, the late
Audrey Meadows as his wife Alice, the late Art Carney as
his best pal, Ed Norton and Joyce Randolph (the only sur- I
viving member), as Norton's wife Trixie.
The film version gives this famous sitcom an urban spin .
with Ced as Ralph Kramden, Gabrielle Union as his wife-
Alice, Mike Epps as his best pal Norton and Regina Hall as
Norton's wife Trixie. Some of the media "purists" i.e., those
resistant to traditional change, have questioned the choice of
a black cast to revive "The Honeymooners" urban style. Cedric the Entertainer (Photo @2005 Andre' B.
Ced' responds, "I haven't heard that except from maybe Murray/A Ber Agency Photo)
one reporter. But for the most part, I really didn't hear that. When I said I was going to play this role, people
seemed to be really receptive of it thinking, OK, yeah, that makes since, Ced would make a good Ralph
Kramden. For those that are kind of against that; these are people who for what ever reason, loved Jackie
Gleason and don't see going into the modern times with it."
Ced got involved with this project through producer David T. Friendly with whom he did the smash Martin
Lawrence comedy Big Momma's House. Plus Paramount Pictures wanted to do something with him and they
figured he was the one to believably bring Ralph Kramden to the big screen. How much of the film was shot
in Ireland? Ced reflexes, "We shot a lot of the movie in Ireland. We were there for about two and a half months
and came back and did about two and a half weeks in New York to wrap it around and tie it all together. Did
they run into any of the Catholics vs. Protestants violence? "Not in Dublin where we were, but there is still
some stuff going on in Northern Ireland in the Belfast area but even that was pretty chilled when we were
there."
Ced had high praises for the other cast members whose chemistry merged into a harmonious synchroniza-
tion. He and Mike Epps really clicked as on screen best friends.
Ced lights up, "Mike Epps was brought to the movie early on like myself. I thought he was the perfect cast.
He really is that kind of wild, off-the-cuff, Art Carney type of character. That's the way he is in real life so he
was able to just kind of play it up. We had a great time working together and are definitely looking for other
projects to work on in the future."
Ced has his own production company A Bird and A Bear Entertainment which produced The Johnson
Family Vacation. He will began shooting The Cleaner with Lucy Liu for New Line Cinema in July. "We are
going to have a good time shooting this movie. It's kind of a fun version of The Bourne Supremacy where I'm
a character who thinks I'm a government cleaner or hit man and I'm really just a janitor.
Ced founded the Cedric The Entertainer Charitable Foundation, which provides scholarships and outreach
to enhance the lives of inner-city youth and their families in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. He plans to
expand the foundation to provide similar programs nationally.


Wassup in Hollywood
by Rych McCain
The Honeymooners (Paramount Pictures), star-
ring Cedric The Entertainer, Mike Epps, Regina
Hall and Gabrielle Union opened recently. For those
of you who weren't alive during early 50's; the origi-
nal Honeymooners was a CBS-TV show that started
as skits on the Jackie Gleason Show and became a
sitcom that lasted for five seasons from 1952 to 1957.
The big screen version used an all black to put a mod-
em urban spin on it. This film starts a little slow but
builds up as bus driver Ralph Kramden (Cedric The
E), concocts several "get-rich-quick," schemes that
fall short of the mark. Eventually, he makes some-
thing work and even then he misses out.
Mike Epps makes a very believable Ed Norton,
while Regina Hall (Trixie Norton) and Gabrielle
Union (Alice Kramden), round out a cast that appears
to gel well on screen. The one doesn't have a lot in the
way of action, suspense and intrigue but it is a flick
that you and yours can enjoy with a few chuckles here
and there.
"Shock-Jock Diva," Wendy Williams will. be
releasing a CD she put together of her favorite artists
covering hip-hop and R&B. The disc, entitled,
WENDY WILLIAMS BRINGS THE HEAT VOL 1. It
will be released on Virgin Records June 28th. Funny
man Steve Harvey did his final show as the morning
drive host on KKBT-FM "The Beat," in LA last
Friday, May 20th. It was a very emotional show as star
after star called in their love and support for Harvey.
It will be extremely hard for "The Beat" to replace
Harvey who brought so many entertaining angles to
the table via his quick wit, interviewing style and abil-
ity to keep the broadcast party jumping.
IME Records artist Shanice is back with a new
album entitled, "Every Woman Dreams. Look for an
August release. If you are in Miami on Memorial Day
weekend, rappers Twista and The Speedknot Mobstaz
will be headlining the weekend "Jump-Off, Sunday,
May 29th at the Marlin Hotel from 3-10pm. Rapper
"Jacka," who is out solo from his group Mob Figaz,
is criss-crossing the country promoting his new
release "The Jack Artist." VJ/DJ's Sway and King
Tech will release a new CD "Back 2 Basics, on
Universal Music.
Keep the self-respect flowing and pass it on!

Hurricane Season Begins In One

Week; Five Major Storms Predicted


According. to the
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric
Administration, the East and
Gulf coasts can expect
another hard hurricane sea-
son, The report said that the
Atlantic will have 12 to 15
tropical storms, seven to
nine of them will become
hurricanes, and three to five
of those hurricanes will be
major with winds up to 111
mph.
The Emergency
Preparedness Educational
Institute (EPEI) said that a
majority of people living in
the affected areas lack a
plan to prepare for a hurri-
cane and what to do after the
aftermath of the storms. A
checklist is provided:
Have a 3-day supply of
clothes, supplies, food and
water, batteries, cleaning
supplies, medicine, cash,
portable radio
*Make sure your gaso-
line tank is as full as possi-
ble.
*Have alternate shelter


plans if you cannot remain
home because of flooding,
damage, etc.
*Plan ahead what type of
meals you can serve if you
have no power and purchase
food supplies appropriately
*Buy an inexpensive
power Inverter that you can
plug into your car cigarette
lighter to create enough
house electricity to power
light duty appliances such as
a fan or battery charger
*.Make sure you have a
current picture I.D. to gain
access to your home or busi-
ness locations'
Notify family members
outside of area if you go to a
shelter.
*Check outside of home,
roof, walls, chimney etc and
see if it all appears safe
before entering if you left.
*Open closets and cup-
boards carefully and watch
for falling objects
Check operation of sep-
tic system if you have one
*When resetting circuit
breakers, wear dry, rubber


We are looking for you to be in plays, a swing
dance instructional video and other projects!

soled shoes and stand on
something dry such as a
wood board
*Use only 1 hand when
touching circuit breaker
After the storm be
careful of poisonous snakes,
insects, and other wildlife
that may be dislocated by
the storm
*Assume all stairs,
floors, and roofs are unsafe
until inspected
*Avoid turning on power
if there is flood water pres-
ent
*Always ask for identifi-
cation before allowing any-
one to enter your residence
*Prevent mold by sani-
tizing personal property,
clothes, furniture, shelves
that hold food and clothes,
including areas where chil-
dren play
*Steam clean carpeting
and upholstered furniture
*Use bleach with water
(1 cup of bleach to 5 gallons
of water) and other disinfec-
tants to neutralize bacteria
"Last year following the
devastating hurricane season
over 63% of those affected
did not have a plan in place
that covered these items
resulting in a delay in recov-
ery efforts," said Beren. "It
cannot be emphasized
enough that preparation for
after one of these deadly
storms is just as critical as
preparing for the storm."

zany new flavor, land. you

the tricks of the trade from


a world-famous ice cream
maker's flavor team.
To celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the frozen

Three Duval Student Chalk Up Perfect Attendance


When the rains came
down, Matthew Lloyd
Herrera went to school.
When Christa Karen Mann
didn't feel well, she still
went to school. Even when
the dreaded semester final
exam waited for her,
Valerie Michelle Norton
went to school.
Each of these three
Duval County Public
Schools students missed
.not a single day for 12
years, from first through


12th grades.
That's 2,160 days that
each attended school with-
out a single absence. In
fact, Mann and Herrera
had perfect attendance in
kindergarten, too--for a
total of 2,340 days.
Like the U.S. Mail car-
riers, neither rain nor sleet
nor gloom of mid-
December mornings kept
these three from their
appointed classroom--


Duval School Bands Receive Top
Seven Duval County public high schools were stand-
outs at the state music assessments recently.
In the state band music performance assessments, the

received top marks, including:
Douglas Anderson School of the Arts

Concert Chdrus Excellent

Concert Choir Superior

Concert Chorale Superior

Chorale Women Superior

though last fall's three hur-
ricanes might have given
them a second thought or
two.
All three graduated this
week; their attendance
records intact.
Herrera graduated
from First Coast High,
Mann from Fletcher High
and Norton from Paxon
School for Advanced
Studies.
On June 7, they will be

meter attendant accused of stealing $120,000 quarter
by quarter-- has pleaded guilty to embezzlement and has
promised to pay most of it back.

Macomb County Circuit Judge Richard Caretti also
ordered the 50-year-old Howard to spend six months on

' Steinhardt. "But I think he used the money to more than'
supplement his income."
Howard now works' as a $9-an-hour laborer for a

Your Weekly Horoscope
(MAY 28, 2005-JUNE 3, 2005)


ARIES (March 21 to
April 19) 'You
find yourself
winging it this
week. That's
because you're not really
sure what to do with a cer-
tain project. Relax; your
charm wins the day.
TAURUS (April 20 to
May 20) Someone close to
you says some-
thing that doesn't
sit well with you.
However, it does
get you motivated to make
some changes. Ultimately,
they're for your own good..
GEMINI (May 21 to
June 20) You're going to
have to go it alone m
this week. It's just
not the time to ask
others for help.
Later in the week, take some
down time by yourself.
CANCER (June 21 to
July 22) It's not like you to
be uneasy in a
social setting. Yet,
this week, you
find that happen-
ing. Rely on that close friend
to bolster your confidence.
LEO (July 23 to
August 22) It's a
good week to
remember to take
things one at a
time. Tackling too many
tasks at once is a recipe for
failure. Remember to focus
on what's positive .as
opposed to the negative.
VIRGO (August 23
to September 22) Things
are fine at work
T \\here colleagues
are concerned. It's
a different story,
though, at home. Don't'
allow family, members who
are itching for a fight to get
to you.
LIBRA (September
23 to October 22) The
weekend is fine for traveling
and/or entertaining.

woman was arrested after
the California Highway
Patrol officer who pulled
her car over found nine
people crammed
inside,including two chil-
dren in the trunk."I have
never heard of this," said
Officer Wendy Hahn.
"There was no room left in
the car, so she puts two of
the kids in the trunk. We're
trying to get people to
buckle up, and this is what
we find."
Lavern Dunlap, 35, of
Glendora, was pulled over
about 8 p.m. Friday after
another driver reported
seeing a woman closing
the trunk of her Toyota
Corolla with two children
inside as the vehicle sat
parked on a shoulder.
Dunlap told the officer
she was heading to her.sis-
ter's house in Palmdale,
about a 60-mile trip. The
officer discovered a 15-
year-old boy and a 10-
year-old girl in the trunk,
four children in the back
seat, an adult in the front
passenger seat with a child'
on her lap and Dunlap
behind the wheel. No one


was wearing a seat belt,
she said. Dunlap was

TAMPA, Fla. The
Super Bowl is headed back
to Tampa in 2009. The city
was selected to host the NFL
title game for.the.fourth time
Wednesday, beating out
three other finalists --
,Atlanta, Houston and Miami
--vying for the league's
showcase event.
In addition to being
armed with a proposal offi-

packages that landed Super
Bowls in 1984, 1991 and
2001, Tampa's bid also got a
crucial boost from the fami-

Malcolm Glazer.
"We could not have done
it without the Glazers. We
'just want to thank them for
everything they have done,"
Tampa mayor Pam lorio said
in Washington, D.C., where
NFL owners are meeting
this week. V


Tampa's presentation

O'Neal has been interest-
ed in law enforcement since
he was a teen. He was raised
by a stepfather who was an
Army sergeant. Two of his
uncles worked in law
enforcement.
While playing for the
Lakers, he went through the
police academy and became
a reserve officer with the
Los Angeles Port Police.
During the 2000 offsea-

Orange County Sheriffs

Jamal Lewis Making

Best Of Life In Prison
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -
While the Baltimore
Ravens conducted a passing
camp this week, running
back Jamal Lewis prepared
for the 2005 NFL season
within the barb-wired walls
of a Florida prison camp.
Lewis is scheduled to
complete a four-month sen-
tence next week, then must
fulfill a two-month term at a Jamal Lewis
halfway house in Atlanta.
It's the punishment he received after pleading guilty in
October to using a cell phone to try to set up a cocaine deal
in 2000.
Instead of wallowing in self-pity, Lewis, the 2003 NFL
Offensive Player of the Year, has embarked on a quest to
improve his body and mind.
"I'm looking at a man that has grown as a person and also
has physically kept himself on top of his game," said Ravens
running back coach Matt Simon, who twice visited Lewis at
the federal prison in Pensacola. "As opposed to deteriorating
and treating this as a negative, I see how he's found a real
positive aspect of this experience. It's motivating. It's inspir-
ing."
On a typical day, Lewis wakes up before dawn and starts
work in the prison tool shop at 6 a.m. After his shift, which
consists .primarily of distributing and hauling equipment, he
diligently exercises his tender right ankle, which forced him
to miss two games last season and was surgically repaired in
January.

Timely Tips by Kate Worth
:FRESH FLOWERS -.Prolong the life of flowers in a vase. Add:
:one-quarter teaspoon (20 drops) of bleach to each quarlt of water:
:used in your vase. This really works. I still have a little bouquet:
:of flowers from my grandson from a few weeks ago. They look:
:as pretty as the day he gave them to me. Virginia W.
S: *. :

;BIGGER IS BETTER It is more economical to use one large:
:bulb than several small bulbs. For instance, a 100-watt bulb gives:
:as much light as six 25wv.'att bulbs but, uses less than 2/3 the:
power. Bob H.


:PROPER PLACEMENT You may think that setting up a:
Sswingset on the grass is a good and safe choice but grass can't:
:absorb an impact well, so falling can be jius as dangerous as on:
:cement. A good choice would be to install it' oer wood chips ift
:possible. If not, grass would be the next best thing. Mary Anne G.:


:BRIGHTER WHITES -The minerals in hard water can gray:
:clothes. If you have very hard water, add a cup of vinegar to your:
:rinse water. If you don't have hard water, try this to brighten:
:whites. Add a cup of borax or washing soda (both are available:
:in the laundry section of your supermarket) to a medium load of..
:laundry. Hannah M.
