SUMMER FASHION
NOTES
BY KAY VAUGHN

NEW YORK - Everybody
and anybody who has to do
with women'S clothes is dis
cussing whether your fall skirts
and mine shall be short or
long. For even Paris can't de
eide; and if the leading center
of fashion can't make up it's
mind, what can you expect Of
these American creators?
1t seems that it all started
with Dior. He's the culprit -
Christian Dior - who, in the
first place sent our hemlines
down many years back. Now
Dior - the Peck's bad boy Of
the industry = wants to send
hemlines back up - so up that
they will be just below the
knee.
Many Partisan Stylists who
know Dior is pretty clever
about increasing sales are fol
lowing suit. But then many are
baking at this return to the
20s. British designer, Norman
Hartnell of the Royal family
claims short dresses are too ug-
ly to go back to. American
lstylists are in dither, for
though many try slavishly to
follow Paris dictates, they are
not sure American women will
go for so radical a change

CAMPY NOT FAXED
BY KNOGK0UTS

Milwaukee - The opposing
pitchers are continuing to
knockdown Roy Campanella but
he's getting SO that he answers
1t all with a base hit.
Early last week, when the
Braves pitcher, Lew Burdette,
busted Campy off, he started
out after him with bat in hand.
Lucky mate Carl Furillo took
1t from him else something
drastic might have happened.
But Carl knew that as a con-
slant victim of the "dusting
off" treatment, the only way
to really get even is to get d
base hit.
SO Campy has adopted the
theory. AS soon as he returned
to the lineup, pitcher Max Sur
kent knocked him down. Campy
l.aid nothing - Just imme-
diately singled into Center.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT +.
ENJOY SUMMER
BREAKFAST

Let's take a close look at break
fast Just for its fun.
During vacation busy people can
enjoy breakfast more than ever.
The pleasures of good breakfast
carry over into later in the day,
because if vacationers get one
fourth to one-third OF the days
nourishment at breakfast they have
more pep for fun in the sun all
morning.
The early morning is often the
most comfortable part of summer
day. While rested and cool, most
people are in the ideal mood to
enjoy a tasty meal. Families will
find each other pleasant company
at breakfast if they keep converse
tion cheerful. Not much converse
tion is necessary, just agreeable
discussions. Settlements of heavy
matters can wait until breakfast Is
finished.
For a good morning every day OF
the two-weeks-with-pay, start with
a breakfast of fruit, cereal or egg
or both. bread and butter, and
milk. If you are a very active
on-the-go vacationer, add break
fast meat or eggs.
Here are three breakfast menus
TO suit your appetite.
Quick and Easy Breakfast
Grapefruit
Soft-Cooked Eggs
Toast Butter
Milk Coffee

New York MILLS BRO
THEIRS CONTINUE WITH FORD
COMMERCIALS =. The Ford
Company, via its advertising
agency, ]. Walter Thompson,
has been so pleased with the
Mills Brothers handling of their
commercials, that they are
continuing with them in the
new campaign for the Ford
dealers. You remember how
the Mills Brothers did the first
Ford commercial to the tune
Of their hit, "Glow Worm?" Did
it sell cars! That's why you can
now hear the boys doing ad-
ditional lyrics. incidentally, the
Mills Brothers are the only race
stars we've discovered, who are
selling" by song a nationally
known product to all people .. . e.
And speaking of commercials
that colored company, Cray
ton sausage leader in Cleve-
land. o., is well abreast of the
trends. Crayton has a spot just
before the Cleveland Indians
baseball time and its rather
good commercial, we must say.
But this is not just a colored
beamed station. This is WERE
station where all baseball en-
thusiasts congregate. That's
true progress we think - col
ored selling to whites as well as
colored.

Dewayne Brough was inquiring
about fertilizer for top-dressing
wheat. Where a seeding is to be
made we recommend complete
fertilizer. Without a seeding a
straight nitrogen is satisfactory.
The round of night meetings,
farmers banquetS, etc. has us in a
whirl. 1t doesn't leave much time
to see the wife and kids. So don't
be surprised if you don't always
find your county agent in his of
flee real early and real late.
If you plan an office call and
want to be reasonably sure to
catch us try Mondays or Saturday
mornings. / try to reserve those
days and stay in the office. 1t
isn't always possible to be here,
but we do try on those days.
Leslie Hellwig got one of our
new bulletins on Commercial Beef
Herds.
Other new literature received
lately is leaflet on weed and
brush sprays, multiflora rose,
how to plant trees, fruit sprays,
hay for silage, band seeding for
legumes and spittlebug control.
Lowell Sander brought in a soil
test for tomatoes. 1t takes 3-4

Baling Wire
Shortage Seen

Early purchases of baling wire
will assure farmers of their sup
plies for 1853, says S. G. Huber,
extension agricultural engineer at
Ohio State University.
Manufacturers say there will be
plenty of wire for everyone if
farmers spread their purchases
over several weeks ahead of the
haying season. There is not enough
warehouse space to store a years
supply of baling wire in advance
When the warehouses are full and
mill shutdown results the years
production of baling wire is re-
duced.
This had caused baling wire
shortages in recent years. Farm
ers who order wire early will help
avoid such an occurrence during
1858 and will avoid shortages dur
ing they haying season.

hours so there will be no inter
ruption of normal depot business.
The new 303-by-1O0 foot concreee
building has 10000 square feet of
floor space, nearly all of which
will be used for offices. Part of the
third floor is set aside for an en-
ployee cafeteria, with an all-elec.
trio kitchen which cost about $751;
600 to equip. The present opera
tions office is housed in half OF
one of the huge warehouses.
Interior of the new building is
light green, with darker green
trim. The exterior will be painted
later with light gray cement
paint compound.
The Joseph Skilken Co., Column
bus, was general contractor on the
project, and Bellman, Gillett &

Proxy Bulls
Aid Dairy Farms

Artificial breeding of dairy
cows has grown from a little fel-
low in 1910 to a big business in
1852. This was indicated at the
annual meeting of the Northern
Ohio Breeders Assn. held in Tiff
fin, March 19.
Nearly 10000 cows were bred
in 1852 as compared to 675 cows
in 1910. The organization has
25, 900 members in thirty northern
Ohio counties. Ed Kirk of Port
Clinton is the Ottawa County di-
rector.
More than 1,400 cows were set
tied artificially in Ottawa Coun.
ty by technician Dick Wilson of
Oak Harbor. Nearly 80 percent of
the cows in the thirty-county area
are bred by NOBA technicians. 1t
required fifty pure-bred bulls to
do the job. Cost of feed and bed
ding per bull averaged $264.61 ac-
cording to NOBA manager, Max
Drake.

Used For Litter

Seems like there is some use
for just about everything any

found some value for the ordinary

Reporting in the newsletter oil
the Northern Nut Growers Asso

says almond shells make fine
poultry litter, while black walnu;
shells have been found valuable
as grit for blastcleaning metals
and English walnut shells are
ground to a fine flour for carriers
of insecticides. Other uses fol-
nutshells include dilutents for dy
Mantle, fur cleaning, specially
filters in rubber compounds, fill
lers for plastics, pigment carriers
in wood finishing, mulch, poultry
litter and as filtering agents.
