Corporate Bonds Gain
On Broad Front and
Treasures Improve
BY Arthur Merims
Associated Press Finaneial wriser

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE
corporate bond market advanced
along q broad front this week
Long-term Government bonds
also improved as the Treasury
disclosed its new financing would
be limited to Quick-maturing
issues.
Some Of the bull fever" that
has taken over the stock market
lately drifted into the bond
market. The result was strong
demand for obligations that can
be converted to common stock
or that reflect corporate income.
Defaulted carriers became fav-
crites, like Hudson q Manhattan
and Third Avenue. Railroads
heavily in debt, like Baltimore
& Ohio. Lehigh Valley and New
York Central. also found ready
buyers. In fact, almost all obi
cations selling under par value
gained ground.
Toward the weeks end, invest
ment quality. low-yield COR
porates joined the upward move-
ment. Deferred by a constant
stream Of new utility financing,
utilities were unable to join the
upswing with much gusto. But
industrialS like Firestone, An
heuser- Busch and Dow Chemical
made substantial progress.
Short term Treasury securities
held steady this week while dis
family maturing issues joined the
general bond market advance.
The 30-year 3As rose 10/32 to
Ill 1882 bid, a record high. VIC
tory loan 2las Of 1967-1972
climbed similarly at 100 2OI32
bid. But the 21as Of 1861 fin
ished unchanged at 1O2 20f32 bid.
The Treasury's cash offering will
consist of per cent tax-antici-
patton certificates dated August
2 to mature March %, 1855. The
$3.5 billion issue is designed to
be purchased by commercial
banks. who. in turn, will sell
them to corporations desiring to
put away cash to pay Federal
taxes next year.
German dollar bonds improved
in a fairly quiet foreign section
Greek liens backed and filled.
Some Japanese issues climbed as
the week ended.

Practical Talks GiOen By Three
Members To London Garden Club

Three members OF the London
Garden Club offered their audi
ence interesting information and
practical tips for the present plant
ing season, when they spoke on
the general topic of trees at the
regular meeting Wednesday night
at Coover Memorial clubhouse.
AS background for her talk on
the proper choice of trees for home
and city, Miss Dorothy Street
pointed out that, in Ohio, among
the 120 species of trees native to
the state, there can be found those
typical of the southern United
States as well as those of the
north.
AS part of the careful selection
of trees for planting, Miss Street
cited resistance to disease and in
sects, blending with the house and
surroundings, as well as beauty of
shape and desire for fast growth,
profuse shade or other uses.
Miss Mary Connor, speaking on
pruning, feeding and watering of
trees, warned that caution should
be the by-word when pruning, al
though some shaping is necessary
for beauty in shade trees and
better production in the fruit varie-
ties. She advised that feeding and
watering should be done through
18-inch-deep holes around the base
of the tree, with two pounds of
balanced chemical food for each
inch of trunk width, measured
three inches from the ground.
Both Miss Street and Miss Con-
nor highlighted their talks by
reading several poems praising the
beauty and many uses of trees.
Mrs. c. o. Thompson then told
of the development of the Johnny
Appleseed Highway, a project of
the state association of garden
clubs for the Identification of
Ohio's roadways. Choosing the
north-south route, beginning on the
river at Pomeroy on u. S. 33, con-
tinuing north through the state, the
association pays for materials used,
while the state highway depart
ment designs, plants and maintains
the roadside project.
Mrs. Thompson preceded her
talk with little-known facts in the
early life of Johnny Appleseed,
one of the most colorful histor-
ical characters of this area.
At the close of the program,
Miss Street presented Stephen
Geyer and Carl Miller, students
at Deercreek township school, in a
short comedy skit, "Criss-cross" =,
for the amusement of the club
members.
Flower arrangements for the
meeting were in the form of house
plants, including begonias, African
violets and a basket of traditional
ivy furnished by Mrs. c. A. Holton,
Mrs. H. A. Tyson, Mrs. Ora Van
Horn and Miss Street.
Club president, Mrs.F. E. Ros-
nagle, announced that in addition
to the regular April program at
the clubhouse, an added attrac-
tion next month will be tour of
the gardens of club members, with
date and route to be determined
by the committee. Mrs. r. K.
Shaw chairman.

st. Pa+ricks P-TA Addressed BY
Judqe Beathard On Youth Problems

Judge Maurice E. Beathard, of
Madison County Probate Court,
addressed the last meeting of st.
Patrick's Parent Teachers AS
sociation, using as his topic THE
Battle of the Adolescent."
The speaker prefaced his talk
with a poem which told of the re-
lationship of a boy and his dad,
which was an excellent approach
to his subject in which he stressed
the need for understanding be-
tween parents and children. Con-
tinuing he emphasized the impor-
tance of a good education; OF re-
ligious training and proper legi-
station regarding matters that eff
feet the youth. Also he advocated
uplift in home surroundings where
ever possible, stating that some
homes are so deplorable that
young folks prefer undesirable
hangouts to staying at home.
At the business session in
charge of Robert Riggs, in the
absence of James Cummins, presi-
dent, several ideas for aiding with
the organizations financing were
advocated. These included saving
of Gold Medal certificates that
have money value and leaving
them with Mrs. Sam Landis or
at the church; saving of news
papers suggested by the Sisters
Of Mercy, who asked that they be
left in the barn at the school,
money derived from the sale to be
used to purchase school books for
the children.
Report of the Ways and Means
committee was given by Mrs.
Troxell Laybourne, chairman.
