got a rcbato on her account In thc mental wnrd Remember rescuing glass marbles which were encased in tiny plastic bags Small children loved them and found that a wonderful way to dispose of such goms was to stick them In cars up noses or at least pop them Into their mouths toyB utilized hours of woman time just keeping keeping watch over iinu darlings Ultra terrific Then there were the ultra terrific captain crunch rings that made you a member of that magic club The aeroplanes toy trains cars and special hockey pins all neatly Inserted in boxes ranging from terrible wheat cereals that
