Simple Rule
For Flower
Arrangement
BY AMATEUR GARDENER

ARRANGE CUT flowers so
they will look natural. Let them
look as though they are growing
in the vase.
First, and most important,
never cram a handful in a con-
tainer all at one time. Place
them one at a time. Fill the vase
with water before you start and
then you will not have TO dis
turb them after you get them
arranged.
Don't think because a vase is
large and long that the stems
Of tho flowers have 10 rest on
the bottom, they will last longer
II they are away from the bot
tom Just because the flower has
long stem when you cut it
from the plant is no reason 10
leave il all on the flower when
you place IL in a vase. You will
want some stems a little longer
than others and they should be
cut 10 suit your needs.
When the flowers are growing
on the plant you will notice that
one never crowds another. Do
the same with them when ar
ranging. don't crowd.

The Job ahead OF private bust

Mr.. Taylor. whose company fur
nishes electric and gas services TO

sissippi's So counties. had for his
subject, We Exist on the Suf-
frage OF Our Customers"
Declaring that the wide dis
tribution of the good things OF
life In America has been made
possible by the vital force OF our
free enterprise system" the util-
ity sales executive told the hard
ware men that they must realize
that they are selling new gen.
Grafton that does not remember
or realize what private initiative
has done toward building Amer
lea
Going back to the beginning of
this nation. the speaker reminded
his hearers that the ingenuity
and accomplishments of business
men since Washington day are
almost unbelievable. Two hun
dred years ago, he said, America
was an assortment Of villages and
poor farms.
Today, thanks TO the American
system, this nation is the richest
in all the world and enjoys the
highest standard of living ever
known on this earth
Despite this contribution TO
America, said MIR. Taylor, bust
ness finds itself in an era of ques-
tionings and critical Investigation,
due to misconceptions and lack OF
knowledge.
Reducing all business men to a
common denomination. Mr.. Taylor
used colored slides to present the
story of Peanut Sam"--the av-
erage American business man.
The parallel he drew from
Peanut Sam" was that American
business must sell and resell the
benefits that have been brought
to the public by private business
In re-selling the American way
Mr.. Taylor reminded his merchant
audience that they were under
definite obligations. however
first to their customer and sec
ond, to their fellow business men.
Business men, he said. owe 1t
to their customers to re-examine
their own businesses to determine
whether or not they were oper-
ating at the lowest possible cost
and whether they we're rendering

INITIATION CONTROL
The President gave the Cover

control over installment buying to
prevent a volume of easy credit TO
consumers so large it would cause
initiation by increasing the demand
for goods at a time the supply is
growing less. The governors announ-
ced regulations regarding down-pay-

buying of autos, refrigerators, wash
