Tupperware, Bee Line Fashions, Lingerie, Wigs and now House Plant Parties have become popular. Everyone wants to have a fern in their front room, but more important they want to know how to take care of a plant that costs $20.00. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California

Everywhere we go we challenge the local high school team to a game. We let them win. It's all for charity. Points don't count unless you shoot from the back of the donkey. Donkeys are dumb and uncooperative, and they really hate to move. Livermore, California

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.) is the largest fraternal organization in the world. The elk was chose in 1868 because it is distinguished, fleet of foot and timorous of wrongdoing. Our four cardinal principles are Charity, Justice, Fidelity and Brotherly Love. An Elk today is an American gentleman. (Kiss) Livermore, California
