MEET
More than likely hobbies will become great diversions of
the times now that no forecasts can be made for the future.
Everyone (that is all practical people) are using every pre-
caution in saving extra pennies for what might pop up from
"no where” as new issues come forth each day.
The rising income tax rates will cause a lot of families
to spend quiet evenings in the cozy
confines of home, sitting before the
fire, yawning with the effort of
thinking of something to do. The
wise woman will decide upon her
favorite hobby now and get started
before the situation becomes de-
pressing. There will still be bridge
clubs, but in crucial times, even
they become bores. What interest-
ing things do you like to do?
