First step is to remove pro tective winter covers from pool and equipment and sweep inside of pool and surrounding areas clean of debris and dirt. Then inspect pool to determine If any cracking of walls or floor has occurred or if painting or re finishing is needed. Examine all exposed valves, controls and pipes for deterioration. If all is proper, turn on water to fill pool. Again examine all exposed valves, controls and pipes for leakage. Dried gaskets may solve minor seepages that will stop by themselves as they absorb water and expand. If not, tightening with a wrench or replacing packing will be necessary. If any major leaks are found, turn off the water and call’ for professional help. While the pool is filling check filtration equipment for oper ational readiness. Follow manu facturer’s recommendations for oiling and cleaning necessary prior to putting your pool filter into operation. Most modern filters are of the diatomite type, and proper precoating of filter elements will assure efficient operation and cle&r water. This is accomplished by cir culating a slurry, or mixture, of diatomite and water into the filter to provide a coating about 1/16 of an inch thick on the elements. Depending upon the fre quency with which the pool is used, the temperature and the efficiency of chlorination, most filters require cleaning at three to 10-day intervals. Filter cycles can be extended by proper care of the pool.

(UPI) There is a suburban house on Long Island Sound with two Jaguars usually parked in the driveway. One has a license plate, “HISN,” and the other “HERN”. That is, about as gooey, I guess as high-class togetherness can get. “Togetherness” has taken quite a beating in the last few years. Actually, it's not a bad commodity. It’s a lot better than “apartness.” I I ’ j You cantSEEfhe You cant SMELL the I difference in Gasolines... difference... ♦ '• wa JS Bp jflp aB? Ww mSKUL.

It was not a bitter separation, but it appeared to be a pretty final one. He moved into the city and took a small hotel room. His wife and their two young daughters remained in the Scarsdale home and he took care of their expenses. The man was miserable. He wanted to go home again. His wife was not agreeable. When he telephoned, she refused to talk with him. Now this man was employed on Madison Ave.'and he had a better than average understand ing of the communications me dia. Also, he never underesti mated the power of children-. He knew that every morning his two small girls, while get ting ready for school, watched the Dave Garroway show on television. Part of the show, in those days, involved panning the cameras in on a crowd mass ed on the sidewalk looking through a big window into the studio at the monkey and other attractions. So every morning for a week, the man took his place with the crowd on the sidewalk. He did not shave. His clothes were rumpled. He looked just as he felt—awful. And out in Scarsdale every morning that week, his children saw their father on television. They called to their mother and she came and took a look, too. The fifth day she phoned him to come home. , There is something about small girls that is irresistible. I know one who went with her dad and mother and her bro ther to a wedding last summer. It was a beautiful June day and the bride’s parents had the re ception in their backyard. When the bride went upstairs to change to her going-away outfit, one of her uncles came around giving all the guests a handful of rice. He gave some to the little girl. As the newlyweds ran out to their car, the rice was shower ed on them. The little girl threw hers with glee. Then she turn ed to her mother. “Why are we throwing the rice at them?” she asked. “If it hits them, they will have children,” the mother re plied. “You mean they only hit you and daddy with two pieces?” she said. Yes, she’s quite a little girl. She’s ours. Writing Two Scripts HOLLYWOOD (UPI) —Mayo Simon has been signed by pro ducers Stuart Millar and Law rence Turman to write two pic tures for their company.
