Keeping the vases of cutflowers in
an icebox when the air is both moist
and cold Is helpful in that it arrests
the opening of the flowers, prolong-
ing their lives. Lacking an icebox,
cool place in the basement will be
almost as effective.
Flowers that have wilted may be
given any one of the following treat
ments to revive them: !. Place the
stems in a shallow container, cutting
the stems back under water. Leave
them in the cold water until they
have revived. 2. Plunge the stems
first into hot and then into cold

the flowers into a deep container
filled with cold water placing the

Setting Of HitIer's Hideout
Described in Letter

l01st Air-borne men are serving as
guides.
IN trucks we went to Eagles Nest,
Hitler's lodge where he dreamed and
meditated and was alone. You
wind around and around the noun
tain and after reaching a level area
close to the top you leave the trucks
and walk. BY this time one is so
high up that the air is hard to
breathe. It takes an hour to make
the very top of the mountain A
gravel path leads to the lodge.
What walk! I had to take it in
stages until I got used to breathing
the rarified air. To give you some
idea of how high we were, there was
a squadron Of P-38s flying around
and they were below us.
"We were above the snow level
and it was just comfortable in the
sun. If person could live there
and breathe that wonderful air he
would live to be a hundred.
"On the way down you have to
hold back to keep from breaking
into run. The people were dressed
in Tyrolean costumes and we're
working in the fields.
Why any nation with a country
like this wants to go to war is be-

Infantry Regiment of the AID
("Rainbow'') Division in the 7th
Army, whose home is at 1740
Irving street NV, was award
ed the Bronze Star Medal and
two Oak Leaf Clusters within

Col. Luongo's awards, for
service in France and Germany
from January 6 through April
10 of this year, came in such
rapid succession that his family
here, on receiving copies of the
three citations, thought they
were getting duplicates.
The medal was awarded to
Col. Luongo for activity near
Soultz and Haguemau, France,
when he organized a new pa
trolling plan within his regi-
ment.
The Clusters came during ad-
vances through the Wertheim-
Wurzburg area in Germany and
assaults on the cities of Neu-
stadt and Furth.

Luongo, and sister live at the

He told of walking for five days,
sleeping in snow, having only one
blanket to keep him warm during
the coldest winter nights and food
that self-respecting COW wouldn't
touch"
Before going to the German camp
he was in a Hungarian hospital.
There he was treated kindly, he
said, although when first captured
the Hungarians shot at him and hit
him with their hands and one with
whip. His ball-gunner, who also
was in Luft 8, had his shoulder
pierced with a pitchfork by the
Hungarians. There was no actual
cruelty in the German prison camp,
he said, but added:
Let me make 1t clear. 1t was
hell compared with anything we've
ever known at home. A crust Of
bread or cold floor would have
been heaven to us then. No one
brutalized us, and we lived. But
when you're so hungry you can't

Eliminating
Weeds
By A. C.. Mclean

Most gardeners are finding that
they still have plenty to do, particu-
larly in the control of weeds. Where
these pests have made strong head
way, scythe or one Of the weed
killing sprays will prove the most
effective means of restoring, order.
There are several such sprays on
the market, and probably the easiest
to apply and the least harmful to
most plants are the so-called hor-
none sprays. They can be used with
no danger to children or to dogs and
other pets.
Made of a chemical whose formula
can be shortened to 2-4-D, these
sprays kill by stepping up the plants
internal growth. In other words,
what they do is to stimulate growth
to such degree that the plant actu-
ally grows to death. If their foliage
is thoroughly covered with the
spray, most weeds and woody plants
such as honeysuckle, poison ivy and
certain other shrubs will be killed
by the spray. Apparently it does not
harm grass nor certain of the bull
bous plants. The sprays are still
in the experimental stage and should
not, therefore, be used near any
choice bulbs.
Ammonium sulfamate kills most
weeds. So does sodium chlorate,
but in addition to being good
weed-killer it also exterminates
grass. Although both of these
sprays are only mildly poisonous,
they can be harmful to dogs ana
children when they are first applied.
Also potent are the standard weed
killers that have been in use for
longer period of time and which
derive their power from an arseni-
cal. They will kill any plant, but
since they contain arsenic they are
poisonous. Any one or anything that
might eat plants which have been
sprayed with this material would
be affected by the poison. But al
senical sprays are efficient weed
killers for out-of-the-way places
where it is desirable 10 make the
soil sterile.
All thing considered, probably the
most efficient of the weed-killers
for the average home gardener who
wishes to clean up patches of ne
elected garden areas, or beds where
weeds have made strong inroads,
are the so-called hormone sprays.
Many gardeners have used them sue
cessfully to combat such weed men,
aces as dandelions. plaintain. chick
weed and other invaders that have
entrenched themselves in lawns.
