It's sort of disheartening to 90
out to see how the tomato plants
are growing and find several
lying wilted on the ground--the
work of cutworms.
These dull-colored caterpillar
pests spend the day hiding under
dirt and trash and come out at
night to do their dirty work.
They seem to like the tender
stems of tomatoes, peppers and
eggplants especially, but attack
hearty all other vegetables also
and cut them off at ground level
during the night.
The pests can be controlled
with posion bait, a dust or 3
spray. To make the poison bait,
use Ia tablespoons white arse
nate or paris green, pound dry
wheat bran and add water to
moisten. Scatter the bait late in
the evening.
Or dust with 20 percent toxa-
phene, S percent methozychlor
or S percent DOT. Or, spray
with Y cup 500 DOT to 3 GAL
Ions of Water.
Gamma Globulin
Polo Immunization
You've recently seen num-
Der of stories in papers and
magazines and heard over the
radio about gamma globulin, the
vaccine that gives temporary i'm
munity against the Gripping eff
fects of polio.
This gamma globulin seems to
be the first step toward a SIM
pie, safe vaccination that will
prevent polio entirely.
Field trials last year proved
that gamma globulin if given
properly and if made from pooled
blood (blood from many persons
over wide area), will in most
cases prevent paralysis for about
5 weeks, but it will not prevent
polio. /
The epidemics of polio and the
gamma globulin field trails last
year have already caused wide
spread demand for gamma globu-
in this year. AS the demand
Increases with the increase of

DEAR MISS NISSEN: My
problem is one of age-and an
unusual one. When I was
years old, my mother wanted me
to begin school, but since five
was the minimum age, she
juggled records and had me ad-
naitted. Now, although I am IS,

nice gifts. I'm afraid If my true
age Is revealed. I'll be put back

you'll be put back a class now,
because of your mothers prevari-
cation. However, since it would
be most embarrassing for you to

until you finish high school and
are ready to enter college? The

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I am
very lonely. especially on week
ends when I sit at home all day
and see the girls next door go
out for a good time. I just sit
home, thinking maybe something
will happen, but nothing does.
H. c.
ANSWER: You can be assured,
no excitement ever will come
while you just sit dejectedly at
home. You live in a fine, thriv-
ing, progressive city and I'm sure
there are numherless sources of
activity there. Stop sitting home
feeling sorry for yourself and go
out and do something! Get ac-
quainted with the girls next door
and find out what they do with
their time. Join a bowling club,
a swimming club. a ping-pong
club! Take a course at night
school; acquire a hobby. like
stamp collecting, photography,
or ceramics. Take dancing
lessons, singing lessons with a
choral group. If you can't locate
these places through the classi-
fed pages of your telephone book,
or through your newspaper, get
in touch with the Adult Educa-
ton Department Of your Board
of Education. There is abso-
lutely no reason why any one
should sit at home and be lonely,
for day-dreaming will never
bring friends; you must go out
and make them yourself!
