To make sure I renew it In good time, I went by a service station June 13.

When I fot home, I found I had a five months sticker, one due to expire Nov. 30. Why didn't I get a six months sticker, one due te expire Dec. 30? A. Your desire to comply with the law is commendatory.

However, you should have waited another two days because, by law, the six month sticker in your case could not be legally sold to you until June 15. Thus, all brake and light stickers, to get full use out of them, should be renewed during the latter half of the month in which they expire. Q.

That was in November of 1967. No word since and no answer te my letters.

What to do? S.H.Z. A. Author Wilfred McCormick says you have a complicated situation because books of poetry, nine times out of 10, must be subsidized and hardly ever make money. He says he does not know the publishing company personally but that they have not necessarily defrauded you until they actually refuse to publish your book or to make a refund. For one excuse or another, this delaying action could go on for years.

If, eventually, the company does not come through, you can turn your claim over to a U.S. government attorney for using the mails to deffaud. on the New Mexico Court of Appeals, an eight-year term expiring in 1976, Mm Beach, died in February 1968.
