PLANT EXCHANGE?
From Mrs. r. E. A., SilDer Spring.
In my back yard I have many
wild things growing. Some one might
enjoy some of these such as violet,
jack-in-the-pulpit, Virginia creeper,
honeysuckle, foxgrape, fern, tulip
tree seedlings and a couple of tiny
white dogwood seedlings.
I'd really like to exchange some
for cuttings of perennial herbs or
rock plants, or hemlock seeding or
cuttings from any of the berried
shrubs such as green-leaf barberry,
coral berry, snowberry, ETC., or regal
print hedge.
Please send your phone number on
a postal card to me in care of RCH.

RADIO PROGRAMS.
(Frons Mrs. G. E. T., Cottage City. J
To Mrs. L. T., Arlington With
reference to radio programs, would
especially enjoy hearing discussions
Or forums on national and interna-
tional problems, with emphasis on
the United Nations and its various
arms. 1t should not be difficult to
obtain guest speakers from the Gov
ernment departments and the EN-
bassies.
Also of wide interest, I should
think. would be book reviews of
current best sellers.
There is certainly dearth of
both types of programs during the
day and at least to me. they would
be welcome change from the soap
operas, comedies and the usual
women's programs.

In reply to Mrs. L. T. of Arlington
Advice on radio. My suggestion for
an interesting Women's Radio Pro-
gram concerns very obvious idea
but an excellent one, which I think
could have been developed long ago,
that is, a program in conjunction
with the Readers Clearing House.
I would prefer to hear it carried on
in the same style as the page, itself
letters containing questions and
answers, subject to editing, OF
course.
From Mr.. F. S. r., Washtngton.)
To Mrs. y. T. Arlington. In ref
erence to daytime program for
homemakers, I'd say, get away from
the house, babies, etc. Why not
have a more thoughtful program?
After all, magazines, books, ETC.,
can give us all the material and in
formation we need.
What we really need is good en-
tertainment. I'm in favor of male
positively NO women, reading
good poetry with interludes of quiet
music. There's enough blah, blah,
how about something quiet?
From Mrs. G. L. P, Washington.)
To Mrs l.. T., Arlington, advice on
radio. I would like to hear most of
all on the radio program giving
setting-up exercises. I would pre-
fer it before am.

ELECTRIC RANGE.
(Fron, M. E. T., Washington
In reply to Mrs. P. H. v. The
modern electric range has those
qualities which reduce the cooking
operation to minimum of effort
yet produce food cooked to perfec-
ton. The units are SO designed that
the exact amount of heat is avail
able for any cooking operation, veg
etables may be steamed in only Il
cup of water. Since the oven is
completely insulated on all six sides,
the heat is kept in the oven itself
and the kitchen does not become
overheated. The oven thermostat
will maintain any given tempera-
ture indefinitely. With the auto
matte time clock, complete meals
may be placed in the oven in the
morning, the clock set for the elec-
tricity to come on later and go off at
meal time.
Not only is the range so safe that
