In my coupon file I found labels overflowing/ I oc- three 25-cent Saltine coupons Dear June: I thought this would give you a chuckle! Even though I have an entire room in my bouse devoted to refi/hding, casionally have so many empty packages waiting for their proofs of purchase to be removed that 1 run completely out of space. I looked around for a tem­ porary place to keep these empty packages until the weekend rolls around and I can break them down. Since my husband and I use the shower, the answer lay in my bathtub! Believe me it is quite a con* versation starter when friends come to the house and peek into my bathroom! Winnie K., Central Point, Ore. Dear Winnie: Thanks for the unusual idea. Yes, it did get a chuckle. I keep a big cardboard carton in my kitchen closet in which I throw empty packages that are waiting to have their proofs of purchase removed. As soon as the carton fills up that is my signal to take cutter in hand and get to work. When the store my Coupon Clipper I. usually save the entire package for products like dry cereal, which contain many possible proofs of purchase. Next week or next month the manufacturer could have a valuable offer asking for the box top or the Universal Product Code symbol or the net weight statement, and by saving the entire package, I rarely miss out on an offer for a product I use. To save space, I just fold the package flat. Patricia Killion of Thurston, Ore., is another accomplished coupons, the three boxes cost only 9 cents ^ach. But my savings weren't over. When I got home, I found a mail-in offer for a free box of Saltines if I mailed in three proofs of purchase. When I received my coupon for the free box that same week, I was pleasantly surprised to find a newspaper advertisement with a 'Buy 1, Get 1 Free' Saltine coupon. I took my free coupon to the store and redeemed it on the purchase of two boxes. So, my original investment of 27 cents allowed . me to get five boxes of crackers worth $1.19 each. I saved $5.86. Boy was my family proud of me!" If you have a couponing or refunding tip or smart shopping experience, please tell me about it.

The program is being spon­ sored by the McHenry County Defenders and the Joyce Foundation as a fundraiser. Admission will be $7 ($6 tax deductible). Reservations and ticket information may be ob­ tained by railing the Woodstock Opera House at (815) 338-5800 or the Defenders' office at (815) 459-0450. "A Sand County Almanac" is an ecological celebration "of things natural, wild, and free" through modern dance, created by Betty Salamun, artistic director. The performance by DanceCircus reflects the changing of the seasons and philosophical observations of naturalist Aldo Leopold. The writings of Leopold are considered classics in ecological literature. Leopold perhaps is best known for his development of the concept of land ethics: tye use of land in harmony and in • ecological balance with all natural systems. He was con­ cerned with water quality, air pollution, forest resources, s6il erosion, threatened species, and the quality of life, the same topics as the* Defenders' members are today. Despite his untimely death in 1948, his work has continued to influence conservationists throughout the world. . > o Members of the Defenders' program committee think it fitting that "A Sand County Almanac," will be the Defen­ ders' first fundraiser. In becoming acquainted with Leopold's philosophy, by reading his works, and by sharing his experiences in the outdoors, persons will increase their sensitivity to "things natural, wild, and free." ' Copies of the book "A Sand County Almanac" will be available for purchase after tbt performance in the communHv room. Refreshments will also be served.
