BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

The fence around your garden
the barrier between your property
and your neighbor's-may be pro-
ductive. Instead of being just a
growth of wood stats or wire, it may
yield crop of fruit or vegetables,
add to the beauty of the garden and
also serve its original purpose.
Many of the garden vegetables,
such as summer squash, tomatoes,
green beans or cucumbers, grow we'll
on a wire fence. Their foliage and
blossoms are just as graceful as
many of the Towering vines, and
their summer crop is an addition to
the menu.
The tall-growing tomatoes that
usually rest on a wood frame or
trellis may be braced equally well
against low fence. Their grace
full branches and pendant red fruit
are decorative asset against
white paling fence.
Protects From Small Boys.
If you would have barrier around
the drying yard which is solid
enough to mask the view, it may
also be food-producing rather than
the usual privet or barberry hedge.
Set blackberry and raspberry bushes
in this area. The thorny branches
discourage little boys and dogs from
breaking through, and the flowers,
fruit and foliage all do their share
at various months of the year.
If you have garden gate or a
back porch where a trellis and vine
is in order, try planting grapevines
rather than the usual wistaria or
roses. Lovely as these are, nothing
is more graceful than grape runners
over a trellis or against wall. Sew
eral varieties grow we'll in this area,
and the fruit is rich in vitamin con-
tent.
For an outdoor cool shelter, in
stead of an awning, grape arbor
may be enjoyed by the whole family.

Woman Still in e. c.
Hospital Recovering
From Terrible Beating

Joe Abatti, 1S year old
Italian youth who Tuesday
confessed to beating a Melo-
land woman in attempting
to rape her, Wednesday was
charged with assault with attempt
to commit rape.
Meanwhile the woman was in an
Ell Centre hospital suffering from
the brutal beating administered by
the youth at her home shortly be-
fore noon Tuesday.
PUT UP STRUGGLE
Officers said the woman put ur
terrific battle in fighting off the
Italian and the progress of the fight
through the yard was traced by
blood and torn earth. The Italian
struck her and knocked her off
the porch when she handed him
a pencil so he could leave note
for her husband, who was away
from home. She snatched up the
garden hose and struck him in the
face with it.
She fought him off, ran inside
the house, and telephoned for help

Reduction Of Cal

Senate Approves Cut

SACRAMENTO, April %.
(UP) - A compromise be-
tween senator's and Gov. Earl
Warren today appeared to
insure success of a SGT, ,00O,-
900 tax reduction program, slightly
less than the governor recommend
ed but further carrying out his de-
sire to freeze" as much surplus

After the senator's had met with
Warren early today, they went back
into session and passed sales tax

the compromise coming up for vote
are reductions in the bank and
corporation franchise tax, personal
income tax and corporation fran

Since the assembly tied the four
bills on an "all or nothing basis

Board members old the United
Press that prompt action by Mr..
Roosevelt will be essential if the
rapidly-spreading strikes are to be
curbed. They said their present
plans do not contemplate any spe-
cific recommendations to the Presi-
dent.
The request for Presidential ac-
ton probably will be routed to Mr..
Roosevelt through Economic Sta
bilization Director James F. Byrnes.
Observers believe Mr.. Roosevelt
might call on Lewis to end the
current walk-outs, which are going
into effect in advance of the Fri
day midnight deadline for a new
contract between the operators and
the UNIV, and then to agree to a
further extension of the present
truce while WLB considers the
merits of the case.
WOULD APPEAL
If that should fail, Mr.. Roosevelt
presumably would appeal to the
miners to disregard Lewis and go
back to work-under army protec-
ton if necessary.
The number of wildcat stoppages

statement couched in fairly re-

While the statement reaffirmed

The statement was issued after a

a Polish cabinet session and a
meeting of Prime Minister Winston

Anthony Eden.
The government appealed "in the
