FANTASTIC TRUCK The novel truck mentioned); may be geared for boys, but girls, women and men, too, won't be able to resist it. In 'action, it's fantastic. Just 34 inches long with the 'boom extended, it has a 10- 'inch van. Nothing 'stands: in 'its way! It climbs like a 'tank, chugs over rocks, out of ditches and over any obstacle, 'no matter how rough or rocky. , The boom, too, is operational. 'At the flick of a switch the 'motorized winch rolls, and down come chain and hook 'ready to raise, lower or haul - blocks, toy cars, whatever.

Avoid, however, the Leoite's tendency to pe domineering with associ- ates, which so often alienates those in a position to help you.

Be sure to remove all foliage which would be under water when the flowers are ar- ranged because foliage decom- poses rapidly when submerged. A clean vase is vital to keep- ing cut flowers fresh, so wash containers every day to destroy decay-causing bacteria. Scrub with hot suds and rinse with hot water. REMOVE FILM Use a well - lathered bottle brush to scrub film from the in- side of glass tubes and bud vases; a sudsy dishcloth or a soft brush will suffice for wider containers. Then swish through hot suds, rinse with hot water and wipe the inside and outside dry before rearranging flowers. Metal, plastic, and glass hold- ers must also be kept sanitary. Scrub into their openings with a percolator brush, then suds and rinse these flower acces- sories well, because bits of leaves and other foliage have a way of clinging. tenaciously to holes and prongs. Some florists recommend re- viving droopy flowers by mak- ing a slanting cut on the bottom of each stem with a knife, changing the water, using a clean container and keeping them away from heat or drafts --which is good procedure under any conditions.
