CROAT PUPPETS
DEMAND "LOVE"

The puppet police of DR.. Ante Pave
Itch in Croatia have promulgated an
order requiring the inhabitants OF
towns occupied by Croat-German
troops to welcome them with ICON
fidence and love" on pain of being
regarded as partisans" and having
their property confiscated, the con
trolled Croatian newspaper Hravatski
List disclosed recently.
The proclamation, as quoted by the
newspaper, read as follows:
"Croat-German armed forces enter
towns and villages to protect the pop
ulation against the partisans and they
muss, therefore be received with con-
fidence and love. The population
mustn't be lured by enemy propagan-
da and disappear. All those fleeing
before the arrival of Croat-German
troops will be regarded as partisans
and treated accordingly: their houses

"F1owers-for me?" you say when
one of those wonderful long boxes ar
rives. And you Immediately feel like
a woman of glamour, pampered dar-
ling, a girl with future. You sniff
the crisp, fragrant blossoms, read the
card, and then make Decline for the
nearest vase and some water to dunk
your bouquet in. Then, if you're like
most of the ladies, you set your chrys-
anthemums or your mixed spring po-
sizes or whatever in the gloden sun
shine on breezy window-sill or on
the baby grand, just around the cor
ner from the radiator, and that, so far
as you are concerned, is that. To-
morrow or the next day you'll be tell
ing people how lovely those flowers
were and isn't it a shame they don't
last longer.
1 The fact is that they can last long
er, says Ed Ludwig of the Florists
Telegraph Delivery Association, writ
/ ing in November House Beautiful.
There's no hocus pocus involved, but
you should master few simple rules
that make very good sense if you con-
slider flowers as the living, breathing
things they are.
First off, restrain the urge to "ar-
range" your newly arrived flowers at
once. Instead, reach for the sharpest
knife in the kitchen and cut their
stems with clean, slanting cut. By
using a knife instead of the shears,
you don't crush or destroy the deli
cate cells in their stems through
which flowers drink up the water they
need.
| How deep should the water be?
Some flowers like the rose and the
carnation, will keep as well in three
inches of water as they will in twelve
inches but to play safe it's a good
idea to give all flowers fairly deep
water.
All of which brings us to the sub
ject of daily care-and don't let any
one tell you that cut flowers don't
need it. Every day, as long as they
can hold their heads. you have to
change the water in their containers.
If they sit around in the same bowl
for too long, not only do they starve
for lack of oxygen, but they become
contaminated by the meteorological
land odoriferous) doings that do on
down in the bottom of the vase. Give
the container a cleaning, too, while
you're at it, so that none of that
green scum clings to it.
Rule number two is to cut the stems
daily, using the same sharp knife, and
slanting cut method. 1t has to be
done, because after each cutting the |
stem tends to heal-which prevents |
the flower from taking up water it
needs.
This may come as surprise but |
flowers are perfect old ladies about |
temperature, drafts, and humidity |
Their idea of pleasant room temper
ature is something like the normal |
chill of your refrigerator, but when |
the thermostat starts hitting the sew J

dressing numerous women's meetings

of the Christmas stamps.
