Poge 2 NAUGATUCK NEWS (Conn.) Sept. ft" 15,000 Pack Coliseum New YMCA Season Begins Mexl Week TWT 11 11 Welcomed For Big Wallace Rally Dear Ann Landers: Our wonderful young delivery boy lies unconscious in a hospital at this very moment, hovering between life and death. A truck driver did not see him on his bicycle, even though the bike had a small light on the rear fender. Why doesn't the National Safety Council put the pressure on the manufacturers and make it mandatory that they use fluorescent paint, rule out black and gray and includeasafetyhelmet with each bicycle for a minimal charge? Every person who reads your column knows of at least one child who was critically injured or killed on a bike. That child might have lived if these few simple regulations had been in force.

Please print this plea. Thanks, Ann. K.E.B. OF PORTSMOUTH Dear K.E.B.: I await word from either the National Safety Council or the manufacturers of bicycles. Your suggestions make a great deal of sense to me.

Thank you for them. Dear Ann Landers: 1 feel like a fool writing to you but I do need help with a problem and I hate to snitch on a friend. So if you please, Ann. A gentleman who takes me out socially, is too vain to wear glasses although he is past 50 and, heavens knows, perfect vision at his age would be too much to hope for. He is forever borrowing my specs to read theater programs, etc.

I wouldn't mind except his face is larger than mine and he bends my glasses out of shape. I am reasonably certain he has his own specs because he MUST read newspapers and magazines and a book now and then. But apparently he uses his own glasses in private. When in public, he prefers to bend mine. Is thef solution something other than a direct assault on his vanity? GLASS CURTAINS Dear Glass: Leave your glasses at home and carry a lorgnette an inexpensive one with magnifying glasses attached to a stick.

They are strictly for ladies. When the gent asks for your him the lorgnette. After a time or two I'll bet he'll bring his own glasses. Dear Ann Landers: A rela- tive came to visit several months ago. The length of his stay disqualifies him as a guest.

He is now a nuisance. The leech does not contribute anything to this household except conversation which is not needed since there are already plenty of good talkers around here. He has a hearty appetite and sleeps like a log (until noon) never thinking to pick up after himself or make his own bed. Every day he tells us how much he loves California and says it is fun, fun, fun. Of course it is when youdon'thave to pay for anything and don't have to work.

How can I tell him in a tactful way to leave? TIED TESSIE Dear T.T.T.: Untie your tongue and don't concern yourself with tact. It would be wasted on this character. If you people who worte to me about free-loading relatives would be half as frank with them as you are with me, you wouldn't have the problem long. Too many couples go from matrimony to acrimony. Don't let your marriage flop before it gets started.

Send for Ann Landers' booklet, "Marriage -What -To Expect." Send your request to Ann Landers in care of your newspaper enclosing 50? In coin and a long, stamped self-addressed envelope. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems. Send them to her in care of this newspaper, enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Escapee Picked Up In Massachusetts WILBRAHAM, Mass. A prisoner who escaped Wednesday from the Osborn State ff By RANDOLPH PENDLETON 8 MONTGOMERY, Ala.

(UPI) thousand people paid $10 each Thursday night to jam £: a sweltering coliseum and cheer George Wallace. "I know you are sweating tonight, but the Republicans and Democrats are sweating a lot more than you are," the third party presidential candidate said. The faithful cheered. The rally Was the final event in a "George Wallace day" fund raising extravaganza that in. eluded a private luncheon and a $25-a-plate dinner.

Wallace headed to Florida today for rallies'in Tallahassee, Daytona Beach and Orlando. He will appear on a network television interview program in Atlanta Sunday, and plans' to rest a few days at home after that. Most politicians have shied away from holding rallies in Montgomery's Garrett Coliseum because it is difficult to fill its 15,000 seats and empty seats are embarrassing at a political rally. But Wallace not only filled the seats, he had them standing In the aisles. Campaign aides said the Wallace Day fund raising goal was $1 million, with the bulk to be spent on television time.

They did not immediately know whether the total had been reached. Wallace told his supporters their movement "is very close to success." "Your movement has already changed the course of political events all over the country, so it has not been in vain," Wallace said. He told them to beware of "confessional Republicans" who would urge them to vote for GOP presidential candidate Richard Nixon 11N order to. beat the Democrats. "Well we could pick up anybody and beat the Democrats," Wallace said.

"I want to beat the Democrats for the sake of changing trends." Pledging to return control of the schools to the'states, he said "just remember the Republicans took them away from you and the Democrats helped them."

The boards were asked for by local youth groups. live family We have often been frustrated by the small dining room when we had dinner parties.

And because we use the family room instead of the living room as the center of family and social activities, we decided to reverse our setup! We simply converted the living room into a large dining room. Now, instead of guests entering the front door and seeing a living room off the hallway, they see a very nice formal dining room. One that allows us to enjoy the fireplace and spread our elbows while eating, making it possible to entertain a larger number of people. The former dining room makes a cozy little sitting room off the kitchen. Though a number of our neighbors in similar houses were aghast at first when we changed the standard plan, we hove found the change an excellent one for our purposes.

Bob Coleman Hop to it, folks, if you're unhappy with the arrangement In your home. If you don't like it you can always put It back. It's so easy for us to get in a rut. Why not try something a bit different and put a little spice In our lives, eh? Helolse DEAR HELOISE: I needed half a banana this morning but hated to cut a large one in half because I knew the unused cut end would turn dark. Inspiration!

Mary Wood LETTER OF LAUGHTER DEAR HELOISE: Mornings when I get up feeling lazy and would rather sit down all day in the lounge chair. I just pour myself into my tight capris.

That makes sitting so uncomfortable, that you wouldn't believe the stand-up work I can get done. Like ironing, sweeping or window washing! The Procrastinator DEAR HELOISE: Have you ever had gobs of those wonderful money-saving coupons you took to the supermarket and forgot to use? Well here is my solution: I check my shopping list and put a little red mark next to every item that I have a coupon for. As I select each product, I get the right coupon out and immediately stick it to the item with tape. Much easier on my pocketbook and the checker thinks I am pretty smart, Mrs. Farmer Bums DEAR HELOISE: I've found a use for broken, bent or dulled sewing machine needles.

of us know we shouldn't sew buttons on too tight or they'll pop off in no time. A too-tight button can also pull threads or tear material which can mean twice the work to repair. So I slip the head of a sewing machine needle between button and cloth (flat side toward the button) and sew away. The thread is wound around the space between the button and the material the way you ordinarily would to form a shank. Mary Ann Schilling DEAR HELOISE: I covered my basement ceiling with burlap.

It comes in many colors in widths up to 47 inches. I just stapled it on with a heavy- duty stapler. I. it would also be fine for covering 1 old ceilings. G.

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Spanish Foreign Minister Fernando Maria Castlella began negotiations in Washington this week for renewal of the U.S. Spanish military bases agreement with a new trump card in his hand. This was the Soviet military occupation of Czechoslovakia which added more than a dozen Communist army divisions to the lineup against the Western.

NATO nations and, according to some military analysts, changed the balance of power in Europe. With the continuing refusal of the French to participate in the military side of the Atlantic alliance and with the disturbing Increase of Soviet naval might in the Mediterranean, events in Czechoslovakia added significant strength to the Spanish bargaining position. 10-Year Treaty Specifically, the Washington negotiations deal with renewal of a 10-year treaty signed by the two nations Sept. 26, 1953, and renewed for another five years in 1963. The treaty gave the United States the right to share air' force bases at Torrejon, near Seville, and the Navy base at Rota, near Cadiz.

With the development of the Intercontinental ballistic missile, the air bases are considered conveniences, primarily of use to the air tankers which refuel American bombers on international patrol. Presum-, ably, they could be eliminated without too much loss. A Key Base Rota, however, Is the key base to supply, refit and service U.S. Polaris submarines in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. More than a year ago Spain indicated she was raising the price tag.

While never officially announced, these are said to be Spain's chief demands: An Increase from $50 million to $1 billion In military aid over the next five years.
