DECORATION of the White
- House for a state dinner
usually requires 400 or more
roses. 200 carnations. 100

titles Of smilax and ferns.
For diplomatic receptions
as many as 5000 roses. 1,50O
chrysanthemums and corre-
spondingly increased num-

needed. Dozens of potted
plants-begonias. cinerarias,
ferns and palms-are used as
supplementary decorations.
The man responsible for the
selection and arrangement of
all these flowers and plants,
as we'll as for the appearance
Of the White House grounds,
is Robert M. Redmond, head
florist and gardener. He has
been catering to the floral
tastes of Presidents and their
families for nearly Is years.
Before World War II the
White House maintained its
own greenhouses. Now, how
ever, its flowers and plants
are purchased from local
dealers.
Every day at 8 am. at least
one truckload of flowers Is
delivered to the bouquet

his 10 assistants begin the
job of asserting, trimming
and arranging. To provide
balance. large and hardy
blooms nearly always are
combined with smaller or
more delicate ones-such as
stevia, baby's breath tgypso-
phila). freezia and acacia.
Pushing his flower cart, Mr..
Redmond goes through the
house, replacing wilted bios
SONS with fresh ones. His first
stop Is the Presidents Office,
where he changes the flowers
in the bowl on Mr.. Truman's
desk. Next the family rooms
on the second floor are Wis
tied. The tour ends In the
state suite. where the blooms
are set high because, Mr..

To throw away sometimes is
thriftier than to save, household
management specialists of the u.
S. Department of Agriculture
says. They explain that some ar
ticles, likely to accumulate around
the house, are accident hazards
w hich should be discarded
promptly
Amy Clipped or cracked glass
ware--whether tumbler, canning
jar, cooking or serving dish
should be retired from use to pre-
vent cuts as well as possible
waste of food. Clipped enamel
ware also should go out of kitchen
service because it may leave
tiny glasslike particles in food
prepared or cooked in it. Once
china or pottery is cracked or
Clipped, it cannot be kept SAM
tary by ordinary dish washing.
A cracked cup, therefore, is a
health hazard as well as an acct
dent hazard.
Tipsy pots and pans caused
many serious burns Unless a
cooking utensil can stand steady,
it is not safe to use on the stove.
Home medicine cabinets are in
clined to fill up over the years
with old pills, prescriptions and
remedies which are not nuisance
but danger to have around.
They should never be saved for
future use, except on specific in
structions from the physician,
and then should be labeled care
fully as to use and dosage. Some
drugs deteriorate with age, and
should not be kept around for
that reason.
Other items which may wisely

with sharp points or eggs or any
loose parts which a child can get
into his mouth. Tiny toys also
have proved dangerous for young
children. If the toys cannot be

it pays to throw it away, even
if it is new, the specialists say.

Labels and guarantees on goods
often tail to protect consumers
who do not question the meaning
of what they read, according to
Miss EvaLegett, extension special
list In consumer education.
Most Labelling today Is made
quate due to lack of understand
ing or interest on the part OF the
consumer-buyers. Criticisms OF
labels are, first, the absence OF
sufficient information about the
goods found In the market and,
second, the misleading character
OF the information found on many
labels.
Brand name is about all the in
formation found on some labels
Seldom do labels give more IN
formation than required by law,
this being the name of manufac-
turer or distributor, the address
of the manufacturer or professor,
the name of the product and the
quantity.
Federal law requirements for
labels of goods entering inter
state commerce apply to foods
drugs, cosmetics and few other
products.
A mere label is not enough.
Unscupulos proc ucers use
labels as a means of misrepresen-
tation.
For example, labels which say
100 per cent pure silk" means
that no other fiber is used in the
manufacture of that particular
goods. On the other hand, this
same material may contain a
high percentage of tin, lead or
starch, while the consumer thinks
the material is made of silk.
The wise consumer is one who
studies all labels and knows how
to judge the value of her find
ings.
Guarantees are statements in
tended to convey assurance to
buyers Of the existence of certain
facts concerning goods. Some
guarantees are reliable and others
are not.
There are two classes of qua
rantees, those used by the un-
scrupulous producer as a means
of sales promotion. and those
