tax form will give taxpayers the option of contributing to
the Chesapeake Bay and Endangered Species Fund. Marylanders

that amount on line 63 of their Maryland State tax form.
That amount will be automatically deducted from their
refund or added to their tax payment.

a child. Kay Metcalf talked of lazy speech. Caroline
Schauffler called attention to the death of Antol Dorati, 82,

Rose Hutton reported on an unbelievable article from Yankee
Magazine regarding answers to an article by someone writing
about wire hairpins, 978 letters and more. Question: What
do you do with pictures of people you cannot identify. The
photographs may have value for pictures of places in the
photographs.

Places to sell old linens were mentioned. This month's
National Geographic cover was mentioned--made up solely of
holographic images. No ink was used.

Betty Grey's son's book entitled Lizard has not yet been
