Product works wonders
on the shower stall

FIBREGLASS SHOWER stalls are a great invention, except
for the poor dolt stuck with the cleaning job.

I'm the sort who cleans things
that look dirty — but who takes a
shower with their glasses on? Con-
sequently, when I remember to do
the job it’s no simple task.

Have ! found a product that tru-
ly lives up to its name — Scrub
Free! Just spray it on, wipe it off.
Not a trace of soap film — even
that blue-tinged stuff around
drains — remains. It takes no
more effort than dusting 2 table.

I bought my bottle of Scrub Free:
at Fred Meyer in Bellingham, tried
it and vowed to buy a case lot on
my next visit — I'll never be
without it!

Now, the good news:
carries it.

It’s very possible that other
supermarket chains here do too,
but | wanted to get you the news as
fast as possible so I didn’t go look-
ing everywhere else.

One caution: Scrub Free has
quite a pungent odor, and | found
working in a stall shower that |
had to do half the job and come
back later.

I’m furious at the manufacturers

of refrigerated products who put
the ‘‘Best Before’’ date in
unreadable spots on the package.
Today 1 bought a package of

but the date is obliterated in a
fold.

Dairy products are frequently
marked in smeared ink — only a

psychic could decipher the
message.

I know I’m a small voice in a
windstorm, but from now on,
every time I discover a poorly
marked package I’ll let you know
— right here!

Try to remember to check dates
before you leave the store and if
you find a poorly marked one —
take a minute to raise hell. We
deserve the protection :hat dating
provides. Let’s take it one step
further — demand legibility.

As you read this | should be just
home from an extended visit to
Nevada. If my next column is
ringed in black ink you may wish
to turn to something more cheer-
ful.

One of the things that the Reno
Visitors’ Bureau is trying to ar-
range for me is a chat with some
Basque chefs —- and, with luck, a
few recipes to bring home.

Basque food is a wonderful,
hearty, farm kitchen collection of
food with both French and
Spanish influences.

Their restaurants generally serve
the food farm-style as well as at
