Woodstock Opera House will be the scene of the "Woodstock Fine Arts Fan- tastics" to be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 3. Proceeds from the talent show and salad luncheon will go to the WFAA Scholarship Fund, which benefits talented high school seniors who choose to continue their involvement in the area of fine arts. ' Among • the scholarship and honorable mention winners to display their talents will be: Andrew Belmonte (Marian Central), William Brady (Woodstock), Laura Carlson (Johnsburg), Andrea Pace (McHenry East Campus), Catherine Wester (Johnsburg), and Michael Zegarski (Marian Central). Members of the Woodstock Fine Arts Association will also be appearing in the annual variety show, which will precede a salad bar luncheon in the Opera House community room.

You should hear the response I get from friends, especially if they were able to get double or triple value for the coupons. I have a friend who lives in New York City and I have sent her these "coupon cards" for years. For this friend I usually include a coupon good for a free book or stockings, or her favorite bath powder. jt has now become a real tradition and she says she looks forward to it. I have also found that sending a "coupon card" for no special occasion-except that I am thinking of that person-can really make someone's day a whole lot brighter! - Diane Stevens, Vineland, N.J. Dear Diane: Thank you for the lovely letter. Perhaps "coupon cards" will give some ingenious greeting card company the idea of coming out with a special line of cards for coupon clippers and refunders. I am sure you agree it would be a wonderful idea. Dear June: Last year my car was stolen. Unfortunately, I had a file full of coupons in the trunk. I told Allstate about it and described my couponing ac­ tivities. Many people in my area consider me the local "Coupon Queen." The company checked it out and I was awarded $100 for the loss. I don't know whether I am the first couponer to ever collect for such a /loss, but needless to say ^ was truly pleased. - Gladys Tornabene, Howard Beach, N.Y. . Dear Gladys: I don't know whether your experience is a first, but it was certainly right for you to make the claim. Coupons have a value and their loss should be included when an insurance claim is made. SMART SHOPPING AWARD The Smart Shopping Award goes to Carolyn Elmore of Bartlett, Tenn.: "A local store offered the 5-pack of Schick disposable razors for $1.00. On the package I found a tear off "Use Now" 50-cent coupon and, believe it or not, the store was offering double coupons! The razors cost just 9 cents a package. Hold on! I also noticed a pad of Schick refund forms offering a $1 refund for one proof from a Schick 5-pack. I guess you could say the company was paying me 91 cents to use their razors...and they're good ones, too!"
