Search Is for a Toehold on Foot Comfort

For added foot comfort, M. Christofferson of La Crescenta needs innersoles filled with water , similar to those Dr. Scholl used to make. Can you help toe the line without doing too much foot-dragging, or will Christofferson never be able to walk on water again, to save her sole?

Libby Barach of Los Angeles is looking for someone to repair some Hana humidifier/air cleaners. Can you help take Barach’s breath away, or will she never be able to come clean because of all that hot air around her?

Della Hundevadt of Redlands would like to get her hands on a life-size bust of Shakespeare , but she hasn’t been able to find one around her hamlet. Can you make sure that all’s well that ends well in Redlands before Hundevadt raises a tempest, or will she decide that the entire matter is really much ado about nothing?

Erika Lane of Sherman Oaks and Jeanne B. Collier of Glendale, both of whom were on the lookout for travel back-view mirrors that you hang around your neck, can now look forward to some happy traveling. Gladys Pettibone of the Bath and Vanity Shop, 3218 Glendale Blvd., Los Angeles, says they carry that mirror at $34.95; it comes in polished brass and can be reversed for double magnification. And M. Works of Lomita says she saw a rear-view mirror in the Cosmetics Department of the Drug Emporium, 1880 Pacific Coast Highway, Redondo Beach. We also heard from three readers who have back-view mirrors they no longer need; a stamped, self-addressed envelope to us will be viewed very favorably.

Patti Garrity of Manhattan Beach, who was looking (as was Dorothy L. Ross of West Hollywood) for an organization that can use worn panty hose, now has a number of possibilities. Lillian Anderson of Los Angeles says Mrs. Agnes Westphal, 680 Sporr Road, Gaylord, Mich. 49735, heads a group that uses panty hose for craft work in nursing homes and veterans hospitals. And Lou Zem of San Francisco says worn panty hose can be used as an emergency replacement for a broken fan belt in a car. We also heard from a few readers interested in used panty hose and will forward the names to Garrity and Ross.

Elaine Jubb of Glendale, who wanted caps for the legs of outdoor metal furniture, should soon be on her feet again. Lillian Richmond says chains such as K Mart and National Lumber carry these caps. Muriel Dandy of Bakersfield, who had the same problem with her patio furniture, used the plastic stoppers from champagne bottles. And Alice Pierret of Santa Barbara and Mrs. E. Joyce or West Los Angeles both suggest obtaining tips for crutches or canes from either a cane or orthopedic shop or a pharmacy.

Sally Lyons of Carlsbad, who wanted some hydroponic planters with a bottom well, should soon be on top of the situation. Marty Carpenter of Highland Park says to look in the Whole Earth Catalogue. Mary T. Clark of Chatsworth suggests Foothill Hydroponics, 10705 Burbank Blvd., North Hollywood. Jim McCaskill of Hydroharvest Systems, 31040 Terand Ave., Homeland, Calif. 92348, who has written books and conducted classes on hydroponic growing, says he has the planters in various sizes. We also heard from three readers who are willing to part with their hydroponic planters; would a stamped, self-addressed envelope to us be considered too grass a request?
