Don't get involved in a last-minute, knockdown scramble chasing from store to store. Shopping can be fun, especially for the guys in your life. Here is how the miracle is wrought: 1. Start right now! 2. Select a category, like, say, men's grooming aids. 3. Make up your list of names. 4. Decide on some thing within that category for each giftee. 5; Pick an hour to shop when the stores are less likely to be crowd ed; and 6. Do all your shoo ing in one visit to one store. It's easy! If you've chosen grooming aids for Instance, Dad or. Uncle would love those handsomely-packaged groom ing kits smart ly decorated with a sailing ship. Your true love will flip over men's co logne or after shave with that old spicy scent with maybe a touch of lime added. Gramps? His favorite shaving mug with a sea going motif. And the younger men in your life will find good grooming more groovy with their own personal supplies. Stocking staffers are a bundant, too, at the same counter. Stick cologne, tal cum, shower soap-on-a-rope and so on. And quicker than you can say Merry Christ mas, you're done! Your budget's ship shape and there's lots of time left over to sing those Christ mas carols and hang the mistletoe.

Gtoe Washington Report 1m j Congressman Walter Joins j 100.00 ; r The ' House approved a Foreign Aid Appropriation bill In the amount of some 13 billion. This was an unusual procedure In that the appropriation was approved without the House ever considering an authorisation for this purpose. ' Some of the features of the bill Included a cut of $100 million from the United Nations Development Program; an amendment to restore half of this amount was soundly defeated by a vote of 268 to 119. All. aid to Ecuador in the amount of $15.5 million was ordered halted because of that Nation's harrassment of the United States' fishing fleet. The Foreign Aid bill was approved by a vote of 214 to 179; con sistent with my general criticism of the program, I again voted against final passage. In an effort to bolster a sagging farm economy in regard to grain prices, the House passed a bill which will raise wheat and feed grain supports by 25 per cent of their present level. It also sets up a National Food Bank to create a strategic reserve of these most important commodities. This was strictly a partisan vote as this legislation was vigorously opposed by the Nixon Administration, whicle being sponsored and promoted by the House Democrats. On the close final vote of 182 to 170, all Members of the North Carolina Democratic delegation present voted for the bill, while Congressmen Jonas, MizeD and Ruth voted no. The House and Senate finally agreed on the Revenue Act of 1971. In Its final form, some of the highlights are as follows: 1. Provides 7 per cent job development investment credit 2. Individual Income Tax Deductions-the present $650 exemption for each member of a family will increase to $675 this year, and to $750 next year. Also, for taxpayers who do not itemize deductions, they will be able to deduct 13 per cent of gross adjusted income up to a maximum of $1,500. Next year it will go to 15 per centwith a maximum of $2,000. 3. Repeal of the 7 per cent manufacturers excise tax on passenger automobiles ef LOUISA'S LETTER Dear Louisa, My husband was an invalid for years and as a result, Iwaa confined to our home. Now I am not complaining as I loved my husband and stayed with him because I wished to do so and he was happier when I was with him. Now my problem is this. He died a year ago and I was left with his estate which was con siderable. I have always wish' ed to travel and during the year I have had several lovely and expensive trips. I under stand, through the grapevine, that I am being criticized by some of my frfends-rwho would like to travel but who haven't the money to do so. They talk about these "rich" widows who can't wait to get thelrhus bandS in the grave so they can spend his money. My children, who are married, are also crit ical. I suppose they think that there will not be so much tor me to leave when I pass on. What do you think about this? Worried-Fla. ' ua c&fywefl ddivcr. fective with the date of August IS. 4. Tax deferral is provided for export Income of domestic International sales corporations effective with the calendar year 1972. In addition, it provides for the elimination of the 10 per cent excise tax on pick-up trucks over 10,000 pounds. It is unfortunate that the Revenue Act providing some benefits to both individuals and businesses carried with it the political "check-off" to provide for financing Presidential campaigns. This check-off will be permitted beginning with the year 1973, but is confined solely to Presidential elections, so, therefore, will not become operative until the next Presidential election in 1976. It is hoped that subsequent Congresses will repeal this section of the Act for it is my personal opinion that it is not sound, as explained in last week's column. . Also during the week, the President vetoed the Office of Economic Opportunity Ap propriations bill, his basic objection being the creation of Day Care Centers. This is the Derogative of the Presidential Office which has been exercised by President Nixon more than any President in recent years. WHO KIIOVS? 1. Name the flower for the month of September. 2.

Answer: I shouldn't let what such friends (?) say about my trav els worry me if I were in your place. They speak of his money but you earned that money as much as ne did by rearing his children and devoting your life to making a happy home for him. Your children should be glad that you now have the oppor tunity to enjoy some of the pleasures that you missed in the past, when you were doing what you considered to be a wife's duty. No matter how well a person lives or conducts her life there will always be some people who find fault, so my advice to you is to continue to enjoy the fruits of you and your late husband's labors and pay no attention to your critics.

The Child Protection and Toy Safety Act of 1969-which became effective in January 1970-empowH the Food and Drug Adminimtration to romovf and keep from the market toy and other children's product with elei'trii'al, mechanical, and thermal hazard. The law i aimed at reducing the estimated 700,000 injuries from toys that occur in and around the home annually.

Since December 1970, approximately 200 individual toy products have been banned, in most cases, these toy have bean redesigned or production ended. Protecting children from unsafe toys is a parental as well as a governmental responsibility. Consideration should be given to the age and size of the child, hi ability, and the area in which he plays with hi toys. A toy that is safe for one child may be dangerous in the hands of an unsupervised and less skillful younger brother or sister. Toy buyers in the family should reject those with obvious hazards sharp points; rough or unfinished surfaces; small, detachable parts that may be swallowed; brittle plastic or glass that breaks easily and leaves sharp edges that may cut; poorly constructed toys with sharp spikes or pins that are exposed when the toy is pulled apart by a curious child; toys with triggers, gears, or other parts activated by a spring or motor that may pinch finger or catch hair. Chemistry sets, rocket kits, and similar toy should be bought only for children old enough to handle them wisely. Any minimum age recommended by the manufacturers of such toy should be heeded.

Special care must be taken with toy mat nave trailu loops and cords. A. chil should be taught never tp put these loops or cords around him in such a way that they may trip or choke him. Toy arrows should be tipped with some soft substance that cannot be removed. Care must be taken with suction tips. They can come off and expose dangerously sharp ends. Care also must be taken with balloons they can choke a child if accidentally taken into the mouth and block the windpipe. Whistle and toy instrument should not have part (mouthpieces, for example) that can be easily detached. Children should be taught to sit or stand still when playing toy musical wind instruments. A push or fall can cause serious mouth or throat injury. in a study of bicycle injuries, "horseplay" and colliding with obstructions were the two leading factor contributing to accidental , injuries. FDA currently is developing safety standards for toy and working with toy manufacturers to correct hazards. With these activities, and with consumer exercising sound buying judgment and giving proper instruction to children, toy will be a source of enjoyment without tear.
