When traveling out-of-town with young children, you must take along a lot of extras. If you are going in your own car, carrying all the extra luggage can be easier. But for those traveling by other means, there is help available.

Did you know that many hotel chains, restaurants and other facilities provide young children's accessories at a minimum cost? This helps to cut down on the burden of traveling with all the extras a younger child needs. Even most major car rental agencies can provide a federally approved car safety seat for your rental car. The availability of such accessories is just a phone call away. Check ahead of time with hotels where you plan to stay so you can get an idea of what you won't need to pack. For larger furniture items like baby beds, playpens and strollers, call the Furniture Rental Association of America: 1-800-FORRENT.

They can give you information on rental facilities in the area you will be visiting if the hotel or motel you will be staying with does not provide these items. All in all, a vacation should be an enjoyable time for all involved. So use this information to better plan for your and your child's needs ahead of time and make traveling less burdensome.

Items Large Selection of Ribbons Overruns, Slight Irregulars, Obsoletes DEAR ABBY: Please send me any information you have on how to obtain a Living Will. My elderly grandmother died recently, and it was a terrible ordeal for her and the family. She had been hooked up to a respirator after we were told there was no hope for her recovery. Her physician told us that he had to put her on the machine because she had not signed a Living Will.

We knew that Mother did not want to be kept alive that way, because our father had also been hooked up to a respirator after he had been pronounced brain-dead. Please help me. The people I have talked to here told me they have heard of the Living Will, but nobody knows how to obtain one. Thank you. MRS.

MALONE KIMBRELL, TRUSSVILLE, ALA. DEAR MRS. KIMBRELL: The Living Will is a document stating: "To my family physician and hospital caretakers: Should the time come when it is medically direct that I be allowed to die sonable hope for my recovery, I confirmed that there is no reaa naturally, receiving only the administration of comfort care. I do not wish to have my life prolonged by artificial means. Should I become unable to participate in decisions regarding my medical treatment, it is my intention that my wishes be honored by my family and physician." Copies of this document should be given to your physician, clergyperson and lawyer, and to as many close family members and friends as you wish.

To obtain a Living Will, write to: The Society for the Right to Die, 250 W. 57th Suite 323, New York, N. Y. 10107. The Society for the Right to Die is a non-profit organization.

There is no charge for the Living Will, but a donation to cover the cost of the document and the mailing is appreciated. I sent $10 for three documents to give to my physician, my lawyer and a family member. It was the best investment in peace of mind I've ever made. The Living Will is honored in the United States, and at this time, Canadians are considering its approval. I sincerely hope they succeed.

DEAR ABBY: I know that you have done a lot of public speaking, so you should know the answer to this one. Why would an experienced public speaker stand before an audience and go on and on and on exceeding his allotted time knowing full well that he is speaking longer than he should? Can't he see that the people in his audience are squirming, looking at their watches, and that some have even walked out? I do not comprehend the audacity of such a speaker. What in the world can he be thinking of to abuse his audience in this crass manner? INCREDULOUS VICTIM DEAR VICTIM: There is no excuse for talking longer than one's allotted time. To do so is the epitome of arrogance, insensitivity and stupidity. What are such speakers thinking of? They probably think that their message is sufficiently important to justify the imposition.

They are dead wrong, of course. A wicker basket brimming with apples on the front hall table extends a country welcome to visitors.
