Thief Raids Hi Fi Shop A crooked hi "i listener, or a tasteful crook, raided the Kus Lom Hi Fi Shop at 1491 Burlin gam2 Avenue this weekend. Police say owner Leo A. Ja copi was not yet sure of loss, but was able to saj thai the thief had carefullv se lected tp quality components before slipping them out a rear window.

Entry had been made by smashing a glass front door panel. By now the honeymoon is over for most of the Peninsula's June brides and they are finding out that the glorious array of wedding presents that gladdened their hearts consisted largely of items that are "too good to use." Every housewife has some of these articles, dishes, silver, crystal, or linens, that she simply cannot bring herelf to use for fear that they might be broken, scratched, cracked, or stained. They tend to accumulate through the years, but the girls who reaped a big harvest of wedding presents are sort of ready equipped from the start with such items and objects. And the brides are now face to face with the grim realization that they must cherish and preserve all this stuff for a lifetime. On top of this they have to find places to put and keep it.

This can get to be quite a chore for a bride who is still short on furniture. When the cupboards are full she has had it. If she has a house she may have an unused room where she can stack it up, but if she has an apartment she probably has one of the first big problems of married life. i 6 The only advice this department can give her is to cheer up. Somehow, every woman seems to solve this problem in one way or another.

One obvious solution is to go out and buy china closets, credenzas and buffets. Often, however, a young married couple does not have the money to use this method. Another obvious method, and one much used, is parking all the over plus of dishes, on the in laws. The only difficult" with this is the unfortunate fact that the in laws usually have their homes crammod with their own possessions in this category. 7 One possible method, which apparently never has been used, is to return a lot of the wedding gifts.

This is so unlikely it can be writ fen off as silly. Room to store the wedding gifts is only part of the awkwardness. It is quickly discovered that fine china and glassware must be carefully hand washed at regular intervals to preserve the pristine beauty. Silver must be polished and repolished forever and forever to retain its lustrous shine. Fine linens tend to discolor, especially at the folds, unless laundered and ironed at least once a year.

The prospect of al! this going on and on down through the years can take quite a bit of gloss off being a bride. Grooms are not much perturbed by all this, but they will be when they have to help with it. i 7T It is easy to say that the common sense way to meet the problem of the wedding presents, and the gifts from various and assorted showers, is to use them. But the very thought of this will give many women the shudders. They want to "keep it nice" for the occasions when they will have guests.

Meanwhile, everyday meals will taste just as good off a S3. 93 set of dishes from the super market and can be eaten just as efficiently with knives, forks and spoons bought at cut rates. A plastic tablecloth can be wiped off and paper napkins don't have to be laundered and ironed. When babies arrive it is tempting providence to use costly dishes and linens. It may be strictly feminine logic, but the ladies get a great deal of satisfaction from "having nice things" even if they are never used.

i iz It any proof of this is needed it can be noted that most women indefatigabiy collect "nice things" to be stowed away and brought out only on special occasions. Wedding presents are only a starter. Also, it can be noted that girls who eloped or had informal weddings promptly set about acquiring as many as possible of the items that they did not get as wedding presents. If married life is a success they will eventually have just as much along this line as the girls who collected heavily when the nuptial knot was tied. 73' This Is how heirlooms are born.
