degree of perfection that the we'll
informed designer may obtain al
most any desired effect and may
realize the full value of every
wood. Thus, the exquisite wood
panels of modern homes, radio
and television cabinets, or fine
furniture, which we enjoy, are
achieved.
I'm the process of matching, the
veneers may have to be squared,
or clipped at an angle, or cut into
a number of small SegmentS, or
treated in some other manner, de-
pending upon the result desired.
Since each sheet carries a pattern
almost identical to that of the
sheet next to it, they must all be
cut in exactly the same place.
Sometimes a third, a half, or
in rare cases only a fourth of each
sheet of veneer can be used,
merely because only a small por-
ton of its pattern would help
form the perfect design needed
for a beautifully matched table
top or dresser 'front.'"
Despite the thinness of hard
wood veneer, in its final form it
is stronger than solid wood. The
reason for this is that sheets of
veneer are combined into hard
wood plywood. Full resistance to
splitting and warping is charac-
teristic of hardwood plywood's
crosS-grain construction.

Hardwood Veneer Cut Thin
To Reveal Beauty of Grain

The attractive wood grain pat
terms found in hardwood veneer
are made possible by the thinness
OF each veneer sheet. The effects
achieved cannot be duplicated in
thick, solid wood.
After sheets of veneer are
sliced from a log, they are kept in
order. Each piece of wood retains
the same position it had in the liv-
ing tree. A stack of veneer sheets
IS comparable to a loaf of sliced
bread.
Because the standard thickness
OF face veneers is only 1923 inch,
successive sheets are virtually
identical in grain figure. When
the sheets later are placed side
by side in the manufacture of
hardwood plywood, the grain of
one sheet matches the grain of
adjacent sheets. Symmetrical pat
terms are created.
The U. S. Department of Com
merce says:
Owing to the wide diversity of
figure types and to the fact that
adjacent veneers from the same
fitch (piece of log from which
veneers are cut) can be matched
to make symmetrical designs,
there is hardly any limitation to
the variety of patterns which can
be produced.
THE art of matching veneers
has been developed to such a high

spittlebug in Delaware fields, and

and Home Week at the University,
on February IL.
In 1852 toxaphene, lindane, and
methoxychlor were tested. All
proved to be equally and highly eff
fective against spittlebug. Yields
for all treated plots, regardless of
the insecticide, were higher than
for untreated plots. Which insect
icide the farmer chooses however,
might depend on the season of the
year, price, and equipment. For

group produce no fruits. In most
members of the genus, the fruits
are think-skinned and spiny
though the spines are easily re-
moved when the fruits reach ma
turity. Unlike some cacti the
flowers of the Hedgehog Cactus
open in the daytime and close at
night.
The name Calico Cactus which
has been applied to this plant re-
fers in all probability to the many
colored spones. These are often
curved or twisted and may be yell
lowish or brown.
So anxious are some persons
who collect cacti as hobbies that
many of the more attractive plants
have been completely eliminated
from their native regions. To pro-
tect against such depredations
some states have laws and the Ma
tional Wildlife Federation in its
general policy is dedicated to the
support of laws designed to pro-
tect harmless living things that
are in danger of being completely
destroyed.

lished in their gardens as an orna-

plant and another calls it Saints
Cactus. 1t is not appropriate that
we here get into this argument.
Hedgehog Cactus is a loosely
branched plant to about 1 foot
high with the cylindrical upward
growing branches to 8 inches in
thickness, with IL to IA blunt ribs
and heavily armed with spines that
are to over y inch long. There
are some go species in the genus
and of these at least a half may be
found grown as ornamentals. In
some of the plants, the stems
sprawl while in Others they are
erect, not a few appearing more or
less like a viciously spined cucum-
Der. In some species the stems
may be grouped to form a formid-
able plant.
The plant is relatively common
in the deserts of California and
ranges from Utah and Colorado
through California, Arizona, Son
ora and Lower California. It is
essentially plant of the Lower
Sonoran Zone and favors gravelly
or stony hillsides and washes.
The flowers of the Hedgehog
Cactus are approximately 8 inches
across with a funnel-shaped base
and widely spread petals. They
are reddish purple and brilliant.
They are about as long as they are
wide. The fruits are about an
inch long covered with spines and
a woolly felt. They produce glob-
ular black seeds. The fruits are
uncommon and some authors have
claimed that some members of the

Almost anyone can imagine
from the name what a Hedgehog
Cactus would look like. The botan-
lists do not agree as to which plant
the common name properly be-
longs. One standard book says
that the name should be applied to
member of the benus to which
the common prickly pear belongs.
Most seem to think that the name
should be applied to Echinocereus
engelmannii, but one book gives
the name Calico Cactus to that

area.
The first group were World

NSLI policies while they were in
service during the year l945. The
second group were World War II
and post-World War III veterans
who took out term policies while
they were in service during l948
The first group had policies with

In Virginia. approximately "a
500 veterans are affected and
stand to lose about $195,000000
If veterans in both groups do not
wish to lose altogether the insur-

before the policies expire. Va
said. Otherwise. unoer present
