Planning the Window Garden
Time Is Here for Potting Plants
And Seeding for January Blooms
By w. N. Younomon


vigorous plants. Plants that have
passed their period OF usefulness
may be discarded and replaced
with a plant just coming into
bloom.
Exposure Comes First.
The window gardener in max
ing a plan for the seasons dis
play will need to take into con-
sideration two things. First. the
exposure, because some plants
cannot tolerate as much sunlight
as others. Generally speaking. a
north window is more conducive
to vegetative growth than bloom.
Only few plants will flower
freely in a north window. A south
window, unless protected by trees,
is likely to have too much sun
light, even in winter, for many
house plants. East and west win
dows are likely to be favorable to
a greater number of plants than
will the other two exposures. Be-
cause shadows. trees and other
factors influence their growth, a
hard and fast classification can
not be drawn up. Some expert
menting will be needed to find out
those best suited to whatever ex-
posure may be available.
1t has been reported that the
picture" windows of the modern
home permit more light than
some plants can take and this
may be the explanation of some
plant losses in new homes.
The second point is the amount
OF humidity in the air. Modern
houses tend to be dry and some
plants cannot take a dry atmos-
phere and still flower normally.
If the atmosphere in the home is
dry then the window gardener
should make some provision to
keep the plants thriving. A daily
Swinging might do the trick but
a window is hardly the place in
which to spray plants.
Another method Is to place the
plants in a tray or bowl, resting
on a layer Of pebbles or sand (the
pebbles are beSD. The space with
pebbles is kept filled with water,
which on evaporating. sends up a
small cloud Of humid air. This
small halo" Of humid air does
wonders for the house plants. A
third method is to put pans OF
water on the radiators in the
room. There are other ways OF
providing a humid atmosphere
The extent to which this problem
is overcome will enlarge the list OF
plants which may be used in the
window garden.
Even though the house plants
are in a suited situation and
adapted to the sunlight exposure
it is we'll to remove them every
week or two where they may be
syringed with cold water. This
serves a double purpose - the
blast Of cold water will. to a con-
siderable extent. control the red
spider and cyclamen mites and 1t
removes the dust which may have
lodged on the foliage. Few dust
laden plants thrive.
Long season boomers:
Wax begonia-Begonia semper.
florens, north or east window.
African violet - Saintpaulia
north or east window.
Oxalis-Oxalis bowieana, east
window.
Leadwort-Plumbago capensis
east or south window.
Suggestions for the difficult sea-
son:
January-Marica. Oxalis, prim-
roses, tulips. crocus.
February - Marguerites. prim-
roses. azaleas. lily Of the valley.
March-Primrose, azalea, am
aryllis. lily Of the valley.
April-Flowering maple tAbu-
tilon). Leadwort, tulips, daffodils.

In Virginia a dog lay asleep ir
the sun. A child on a bicycle rar
over the animals tail. Startled tt
confused wakefulness by the SHARP
pain, the dog snapped at the
world at large. One Of his teeth
grazed the child'S ankle. A local
court condemned him to death.
| I could cite countless such incl
dents-where a dog not naturally
vicious has got himself and his
owner into bad trouble by ran
dom bite. 1t is up to you and to
me to keep watch on our dogs to
avert some such trouble. You may
say. truthfully. that your dog il
not vicious. Neither was the Vir.
ginia dog. He was neighborhooc
pet.
| Let's be on the safe side and
keep our dogs away from strangers
License tags are great pro-
lection to a lost or injured dog
Frequently when a dog is left In
the family automobile 1t will get
restless and will jump out to fol-
low. 1t becomes confused, then
lost. Through the license tag. q
tdog often is returned to it's owners.
Also such a tag means that a tax
has been collected; which makes
the pet an item Of personal prop
Ierty." That, too. is a protection
I don't know just what may be
the attraction that draws dogs to
churches and to their services.
But it exists.
Twice. during the past Is years,
strange dogs have trotted into
churches where I was worshipping
and have lain down beside my
pew.
In England, as far back as 1886,
the Bishop of Norwich issued an
order that rail be built across
the cathedral in front of the altar
IL yard in height and so thick
with pillars that dogs may not
Iget in"
In the Scottish highlands, tc
this day shepherds take their col
lies to church with them.
I would rather see a dog kept in
a small kennel yard than to see
him kept chained to a post OF
kennel house. But if he is to be
tied up. make sure that the rope
or chain Is long enough to give
him plenty of freedom.
Every dog should learn to be tied
and remain quiet. Often it is nec-
essary to fasten him for a short
time at neighbor's house, or
when he is on a shopping tour. or
in a hotel, or at any of number
of other times. Any well-trained
dog should learn to submit to this
kind of treatment.
Dogs, unused to tying, will cringe

It is not too early to put up the
Christmas tree-a living spruce
balsam, fir or yew. Nor is it toe
late to plant such a tree in your
yard-at a spot where it will har.

lights at Christmas.

Cough Hits Perryville; CG On Mercy Mission

An epidemic of whooping cough swept the village of Perryville this week causing one death.
 The Coast Guard answered a plea for medical assistance and flew medicine and serum to the str icken village on Wednesday.
 A navy doctor and hospital corpsman flew in a co PBY to the Peninsula village, approxi- mately 250 miles west south west of Kodiak, and treated 21 persons for the disease. An additional 25 were vaccinated.
 Late Monday the following wire was received from the Chignik cannery via the Alas ka Communication System sta- tion at Naknek: "15 cases of Whooping cough at Pcrryville. one death. we have no medicine or serum. We ask as- sistance. (signed) Perryville natives by Harry Kiakoko- nok."
 lnclement weather prevent ed the Coast Guard from talk ing off that night and on the following day. At 9:20 am Wednesday the PBY took off and landed at the village at 12:17 pm. It. jig H. J. McLar- en, USN, navy doctor, and G. Winston, USN, hospital corps man, went ashore with medi- icine and serum for the sick villagers.
 Meanwhile a message was received at Kodiak Naval Sta tion requesting that an army sergeant be picked up from a ship at Cold Bay and taken to the naval hospital. He was suffering from appendicitis.
 After three hours ashore the doctor and corpsman re- turned to the plane, flew to Cold Bay and picked up the sergeant. He was brought to Kodiak Thursday morning and placed in the navy dispensary.
 Pilots of the co PBY were Chief w. K. Cooper and It. w. E. Murphy. Crewmen on the mercy flight were It. l.. M. Dalton, D. M. Nemirow, c. G. Graf and c. G. Barnett.

Fish Ladders To Be Built

Engineering work for the construction of salmon lad CTS" which will enable the re- turning salmon to get up the falls and into Paul's Lake or Afognak will begin today.
 c. L. Anderson, director of the Alaska Department o1 Fisheries, and Detrick Cooter, engineer with the Watershed Management Division, flew to Perenosa Bay on Afognak Is- land with Bob Hall of Kodiak Airways, Inc.
 Karl Brunstad, local resi- dent and member of the ADF board, accompanied the party. Anderson and Brunstad plan to return to Kodiak tomorrow.
 Cooter, recently graduated from the University of Wash ington, will survey the terrain and determine if the falls can be dynamited so that the sal mon can get up into the lake.
 Clint Stockley, biologist for the ADF, has been at Paul's Lake since late in July con- ducting an experiment in the planting of salmon eggs. He will assist Cooter in the engin- eering work at the lake. Stockley recently came out the winner in an encounter with a Kodiak bear. The bear charged Stockley as he was counting salmon in one of the streams on the island.
 Anderson was here and at the lake on Afognak Island in July. A statement made by Anderson, in a report due to be published by the ADF for 1850 which made reference to the man made Instructions on the Columbia River and others in Washington and Oregon was criticized in a letter to the MIRROR after the article appeared in the paper.
 "I have come prepared with plenty of literature and facts to back my statements, And erson said. "I will welcome an oportunity to explain them. "

City Moves TOTerminate Cold Storage Lease

held by the Kodiak Ice and Cold Storage Go. Inc, with the City of Kodiak for proper ty located on the city dock were taken Monday night by the city council.
 Wallis George of Juneau is president of the company. &c., veral local residents and busi- nessmen hold stock in the company.
 A fish shed and the founda- tion for the cold storage build ing have been built on the pro- perty but during the past year little actual construction has been done.
 The minutes of the Monday night council meeting read: It was the overall opinion that inasmuch as such a pro- longed period has elapsed without any indication of con- struction, the lease should be terminated
 A motion to terminate the lease was approved unani- mously by the council. A letter informing George of the ac- tion is being prepared and will be mailed this week.
 The validity of the taxi li- cense of James Loan, owner of the Kodiak Transit Co.,, was raised by Art Kizer and John Mclaughlin, taxi cab owners.
 Several months ago the question was presented to the council. The matter was dis cussed at that time but no ac- tion taken. Monday the coun- cil agreed to investigate. 
 "Dorwin Ware, Auburn, Wash, appeared before the council to appeal the rejection of his application for chief of police. Discussion on the mer- its of the case ensued with council members unanimously favoring the hiring of Ware to a patrolman position with the extra duties of Pound Master and additional compensation, the city clerks minutes of the meeting read.
 Other business of the coun- Gil included the approval of a building permit for Glen Banks; the tabling of an ap- plication from Emil Christoff- erson pending further investi- gation. Christofferson's per- init has been approved by H. E. Spencer, city building in- spector.
 The VFW Club appealed to the council for a real property tax exemption on property held by it but the council did not act on the matter and tab- led it for further considera- tion.
