Under the ew plan, an amout
! equal to the one and one-han
times the estimated cost of the
unfinished work will be placed
in escrow to guarantee compile
ton, and VA will issue its regu-
lar guaranty on the loan. This
procedure will be instituted only
at the request of the veteran
buyer.
The econd change concerns
numerous miscellaneous expense
items incurred by leders cost for
appraisals, inspections, prepare
ton and mailing of papers, and
variety of fees, such as those
paid to notaries and trustees.
Previously. all such cost items
had to be accounted for indivi-
dually. Under the new regulation,
the lender may, at his option,
charge instead an amout equal to
one per cent of the amout of the
loan, or minimum of $4,000
The optional allowance is ap-
plicable only to straight, first
mortage G.. I. home loans where
the veterans gets all his financing
at the low four per cent interest
rate, VA said.
Both changes in the regulations
are now in effect, VA added, and
instructions for their administra-
ton have been issued to the VA
field offices concerned.

There are two kinds of fall plant
ing-one which must be done now,
or not at all and an optional kind,
which may be done this fall or next
spring.
Among the 'tmusts" are the spring
Towering bulbs, peonies, iris, ma
donna lilies, the seeds of some per-
ennial flowers and that of the annual
larkspur.
Mays include evergreen and
deciduous trees and shrubs, roses,
the seeds of most perennial and
quite few annual flowers and vege-
tables, and lawn seed.
Obviously, not less than half of
all planting to be done on home
grounds can be done in tho fall and
garden owners who like to do things
the easy way will spread their plant
ing over two seasons, instead of
waiting to crowd it all into hectic
spring.
The fact that only one-third of all
gardeners do this, is no compliment
to the intelligence of the clan; but
indicates that they are controlled
by emotion more than reason. In
the fall there is no 'spring fever"
rather there may be lassitude. Like
the plants themselves, the garden
ers may long for winter of dor
NANCY, before undertaking a new
season of growth.
Marion progress., 1949-10-06

But for those who resist the temp
tation to rest, fall planting pays rich
rewards. In sections where winters
are cold, most garden color in the
early spring comes from plants in
the must group, which should be
planted in the fall, or not at all.
These include the spring flower
ing bulbs, which appear in gardens
in the following sequence: Snow
drops. scillas, crocuses, daffodils,
hyacinths, species tulips, early tu-
lips and tall, late tulips. Without
flowers from the fall bulbs, the gar
den is likely to be dull. Following
the tulips, comes irises and peonies,
which also must be planted in the
fall.
In the vegetable garden, peren-
nial onions must be planted in the
fall, to bear green onions next
spring, before onion sets could be
planted. Rhubarb and asparagus
roots may be planted now with good
results. Spinach and other hardy
greens can be sown, for the very
earliest next spring.
It you decide to become one Of the
wise one-third and do fall planting
this year, a schedule should be pre-
pared to time your operations.
There is no point to disturbing exist
ing garden beauty. in order to Gre
ate next springs picture, unless this
is necessary.

STATE COLLEGE
HINTS TO FARM
HOMEMAKERS
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent

To put buttons on SO they won't
bulge, remember to use thread
strong enough for the weight of the
button; to use tape or other REIN
forcement under if the fabric is
thin; and, perhaps most important,
to arrange for shank of thread
which gives room for the button
hole to slide under the button with
out pull on the fabric. When sew
ing on a button, lay a pin or darn
ing needle over the top and sew
over it. Then withdraw the pin and
wind thread around the shank un-
derneath. Fasten the thread on the
wrong side of the garment, first
with a buttonhole stitch, then with
a couple of over-and-over stitches.
To make snaps fast, use at least
Marion progress., 1949-10-06

four or five stitches to each hole.
Buttonhole stitches hold snaps bet
tar than ordinary stitches.
Zippers hold best if they are
stitched on by machine rather than
by hand. Stitch the Upper tape to
the fold of goods. close to the metal
of the upper, then trim off any
extra fabric to the width Of the
tape and stitch so there will be no
loose ends to catch in the Upper.
One of the newest and most time
saving fasteners is the snap fasten-
er which is hammered on rather
than stitched. These fasteners now
come in light and heavy weight,
plain and in color. The hammering
gadget comes with them. The cloth
ing specialists advise that snap
fasteners should be used on firm
fabric and are best suited to sports
or work clothes. On thin or fragile
cloth a pounded-on fastener may
strain or break through and leave
a hole. Machine stitching on both
sides of the row Of snap fasteners
is recommended to take part of the
pull and save strain on the fabric.

Well attended; H,Oao To Continue

The opening day, Sunday, of
the Children's Art Exhibit at the
Martelfo Gallery was attended
by 432 persons, including parents
of the children with works on
view and the children them
selves.
The show itself was aabsilliant,
colorfur and beauaifuls ones and
represented the work of. school
children throughout the city hns
Guiding those of Douglas school.
There was so much material to
be shown that only one-third of
it is on view at the present time.
However, it is planned to
change the entire exhibit i, next
week. at which time the second
one7third will be shown, and
there will be another change at
the end of that showing, at which
the balance will appear. 1t rs ex-
pected that even more material
will come in from the. various
schools on the Keys, and these
pictures will, if possible, be in

1t was decided that the award
ing of the prizes will take place
at tdhe end of the three different

might have an opportunity of

seeing all the works that COM
prise the entire three-weeks ex-
hibit.
The show which opened. on
Sunday contains paintings in ev-
cry medium, oil, watercolor, pas
tel, crayon, and there are some
exceptionally lovely finger-paint-
ings done by pupils of the High
School. Every age group is repre-
sented; there are somes works by
children only three years old.
In addition to the paintings,
there is to be seen at the show
an exhibit of modelling, carving
and handicrafts, all executed by
children, and there is also an
interesting collection of histori-
cal items, loaned by the children,
including the key to the cell oc-
cupied by Dr.. Mudd during his
incarceration at Tortugas prison.
1t is expected that very large
number of persons will view the
children's art exhibit at the

Judging from the comments al
ready heard regarding it, it is, ex-

AT a meeting Held searlier this
year by the StateeBoard Of Direc-
tors offthe Florida Federation of
Garden Clubs, it was voted to
erect IA Me4norials Marker ,on u.
S. Highway No. ! at its begin
ming. here in Key We4, this high
way having. been designated as
the Blue Star Highway of Florida
by act of the State Legislature in
1947.

ication of this Marker have now
been completed, and the. cere-
mony will take place on May 80,
Memorial Day, at p. M, in Bay
view Park, the site where the
Marker is to be placed.
Some time age the National
Council of State Garden Clubs
asked the Highway Departments
of the forty eight states to coop.
crate with the Council in creating
a tribute to the Nations armed
forces of World War II. The re-
suit was the establishing of the.
Blue Star Memorial Highways,
and a number of dedicatory cere-
monies have already taken place
in several states of the country,
when these handsome Memorial
Markers have been unveiled.
The local ceremony to take
place on May 80 will be directed
jointly by the American Legion
and the Key West Garden Club,
with a beautiful Service. There
will first be selection played by
the High School Band, followed
