* MORE AND MORE mothers are appreciating the peace of mind that comes from giving their children "phone home money" whenever they go out. One mother puts it this way: "Phone home money is as important for children as a handkerchief. Often they want to go somewhere straight from school. It's such a comfort to me to know that they'll phone rae first And from the children's point of view, help is now always as near as a public call booth."

TALKING OF bedroom extensions, we've just heard of t man who sprained his thumb when he stumbled, on hU way downstairs to answer a nighttime phone call. Shortly

after, he had a bedside extension installed. But guess what happened the very next time he had a late phone call —he was all the way downstairs and groping for switches and muttering to himself before he realized that there

was now no need to stir from bed!

WITH ALASKA ONE O F "us," a lot of flag makcri arc going to be busy with needles, thread and extra stars. Talking of flags, did you know that the world's largest belongs to Michigan—or more cxacily, to the J . L. Hudson Company in Detroit. Its vital statisiics—height 104 feet, width 235 feet, weight ^ ton. The oldest existing American flag can be seen at the museum in Old Bennington, Vt. The firsl flag to use the stars and stripes design was made by Betsy Ross in her cottage in Philadelphia (now a na-tional shrine). The design was approved on June 4, 1777.
