It Pays to Remember Dates                            111
                  I would suggest  the  use of another peg list  to  help you
               remember these  keys.  All  you actually need  is  six words,
               representing the numbers 1  to 6,  which  will  not  conflict
               with your basic peg list.  You can use any of the  lists that I
               suggested in the  previous chapter; the  alphabet  idea; ape,
               bean, sea, etc., or, pencil, swan,  clover,  table,  star, yo-yo, etc.
               For zero, use "zoo" or "sue."
                 Since every year listed  begins with  19,  you don't have to
               try to  remember that.  Just associate the  peg word  for  the
               last  two digits of the  year, to  the word  that you  are using to
               represent the key numbers.
                 For  instance,  the  key for 1941 is 2. Associate "rod" (41)
               to either "swan"  or "bean,"  according to the  list  you're
               using. Make your  associations for  all of  them. Go over them
               a few  times,  and  before  you know  it, you'll have memorized
               them all.
