are prone TO overlook instances Of
heroism on the home front in the
war production which is so neces-
ssry for final victory. In this con-
nection recently the Exceptional

the War Department gives civilian
employees, was awarded to two col
ored employees of War Department
plants. They were Ernest Wheeler.

venting him from inhaling smoke
and flames. Medical officers agree
that Mr.. Wheeler's action probably
saved the mechanics life.
Mrs. Lee. whose husband is in the
Army of the United States now
serving in India. displayed courage

Help War
Workers Sleep
IXZoRKING on the evening OF

WORKING on the evening or
w night shift consistently is
not advisable, according TO a
study made by the industrial
relations section of Princeton
University.
Industrial physicians agree
that shifts should be rotated so
that the fatigue and incon-
veniences of night work can
be distributed evenly among all
workers. They also recommend
a full two-day rest period for
each worker while changing
from one shift to another.
Many workers find itshard 10
adjust to shift changes or TO
regular night worF. Their sleep
is often interrupted by the daily
hum Of activity in their own
households and in the streets.
A buoyant, sagless bedSpring
and a smooth, resilient mattress
are essential to the relaxation
of weary muscles and quality
sleep. Uncomfortable, wornout
sleep equipment can magnify
the effects of noises and dis
turbances because il doesn't
allow the sleeper to relax.
The housewife can also equip
the bedroom with dark window
shades so that only a minimum
amount of light is apt TO creep
into the room. Heavy rugs on
the floor OF insulation will de-
crease the noise factor.

Evergreen
Pruning
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor

DETROIT iuuCs NMTuCu Guhepf
A NY TIME between now and
"A Christmas is a good time to
prune evergreens. Maybe il is
the best time of the year be-
cause those cut off bits won't
60 to waste-they'll go straight
into the wreathS and roping
which will beautify the house
during the holiday season.
Regardless OF which ever
greens you possess, all will come
under one of our general clasSl-
fications. They will be conical
in form and of the spikey type
as Spruces or frs, they will be
OF the fingered type as are
arborvitaes and jumpers, they
will be soft and graceful like
hemlocks and yews, or they
will be of the rough and rugged
type as are the pines. The way
in which they are pruned de-
ponds on the group TO which
they belong.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-12-10
Keep Plants Dense

Take the first division-the
conical. spikey forms. Members
of this group need 10 be pruned
only enough TO keep them dense
and coinciding 10 their natural
form.
If they are used in founda-
ton planting this is particularly
important as they will naturally
tend to grow tall, leggy and
bare at the base.
To keep them dense. go over
all side growth once year and
clip back the branches that
spoil the conical shape by stick
ing out too far. Cut back 10
the nearest branch or bud 60
ing in the right direction for
keeping that shape.
Growth at the top Of the tree
should be cut only in the inter-
ests of dwarfing and then with
the greatest of care lest the
highest branch or leader be de-
stroyed.
A tree OF TINS sort tndl lacks
a leader will never resume its
perfect form since several side
branches near the top will i'm
mediately turn upward and
start race to see which gets
10 be the new leader-ano as
a result there will be several
top branches.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-12-10
Trim Side Branches

If the leader must be cut
back, take back the nearby
branches at the same time.
Side branches may be made
10 bush out by simply removing
the central bud in the cluster
at the end of each branch. This
is the same bud that should be
preserved in the case of the
leader because straight growth,
not sidewise bushy growth is
desired at the top of the tree.
Arborvitae and jumpers are
likely to need trimming to keep
them from looking ragged. If
this trimming is done in
straight lines to make an abso-
lutely formal shape it is called
shearing. but few evergreens,
outside of a formal garden. are
sheared.
Trimming is merely cutting
back to good shape and should
be done by taking off entire
fingers back to the nearest
joint. In this way the plant will
keep bushy.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-12-10
Jumpers and HemIocks

Large branches of juniper
need to be removed occasion
ally and should be cut off at
the nearest crotch. Most juni-
pers need little pruning.
Hemlocks and yews need only
the long, almost straight
growths at the ends of the
branches cut back so that they
do not grow too open. When
these evergreenS are used for
hedges, they are usually cut to
formal shape.
Pines are best pruned by re-
ducing the length of the new
growth or candles before it
hardenS, which would be in
late spring, but branches OF any
size which must come off are
removed just as well, if not bet
ter, at this season of the year.
