When Buying and Preparing
The peak season for sweet corn
is a short one = from July to mid
Sept. The most important thing
about buying sweet corn is to get
corn that has been properly re-
frigerated as soon as possible after
picking, for corn loses 40-60%o of
its sugar content in "a hours at
room temperature.
Keep this in mind when freezing
corn and pick only about what you
can freeze Immediately.

Attention, AmieI Smith!

Since you were the chap, Amiel,
who brought those odd tomato-po-
tatO vines in to show us a couple
of weeks ago, you'll be interested
in this story dated st. Clairsville,
O., Aug. 10, whcih reads exactly
like your own experience here:
Faith and it could be the work
of leprechaun.
The potato vines in Thomas
Anongnast's garden at nearby May
nard are growing potatoes on the
bottom and tomatoes on top.
Some might say fortune is smil-
ing on Mr.. Anongnast. But there's
bad side, too, since the potatoes
are full grown and the tomatoes
aare not. Mr.. Anongnast can't de-
eide whether to dig the potatoes
now or chance them rotting by
waiting until the tomatoes are
ripe"
They're Good!

They do a skate waltz like profes-
sionals. Sandra said she'd been
skating about two vars, but she
and her brother are mighty pro-
fessional-looking talent. If they do
that we'll on ices the Ice Capades

explain the new setup. It is expect
ed that the plan will serve as mo-
del for towns and counties in Or
ganizing local relief projects.
The new state plan, the governor
explained, will pinpoint the roles of
each participating agency, eliminate
any overlapping functions and es-
tablish the extent TO which Civil
Defense will serve as the coordina-
ting agency.
The governor said the plan also
will describe the administrative pro-
cedures for requesting and securing
federal aid. These procedures will
be. based on experiences by other
states which have had major disas-
ters. The plan, he explained, will
even include sample forms to be
used in applying for federal assis-
tance.
Heretofore, the governor added,
the states various relief agencies
have followed individual plans in
an emergency, coordinating their
efforts informally.
The governor said he has directed
the state Civil Defense to write the
original draft of the plan because
under a state law he signed recent
ly, Civil Defense is charged with
coordinating all emergency relief
in the state.
Formerly, the state CD could
only act in wartime emergency.

Our Pond
BY w. M. TREADWELL

TT WAS SMALL. It was muddy, but
1t was wet. It was pond. and we loved
it. 1t had never been dry. Neighbors
said there must be spring in it some
where. There was no spring. The bot
tom was blue clay, as impervious to
water as an earthen vessel. The winter
SHOWS melted and ran into it. The
spring rains added their quota and so
the pond just was.
Whether or not the pond had always
been there is problematical. The fact
that in one end there was large stump
leads me to think that things were not
always so. No large tree of the species
of that stump could have grown always
surrounded with water never thought
to ask my grandfather about it. He
could have tod me, as he homesteaded
the land on which the pond is situated
The pond belonged to ''US," my sister
and /. At least we thought so and no
one loved it as we did. Around its
shores we spent our childhood days In
summer we took off our shoes and
stockings and waded in the cool waters
and enjoyed the feel of the soft mud
around our feet.
Bugs, Frogs, Turtles
And the pond was inhabited. There
were water bugs that slipped blitheIy
over its smooth surface. In the spring
there were thousands of polIywogs
about its shores. 1t was with great in
terest that we watched them gradually
lose their tails and become little frogs.
This was always something of a mys-
terry to us but we saw the transforma-
ton and we had to believe it.
There were turtles in its depths.
Along one end of the pond was row
of large stones and here on sunny days
the turtles lazily took their sun baths.
When they saw us approaching they
slid off kerplunk into the pond. Then
one after another their heads appeared
above the water and we knew that
they had not drowned. Soon til ey
crawled back on the road to finish their
sun bath and paid no more attention to
us. When winter came they dug them
selves deep into the mud and forgot |
everything till spring. No food bills, no
fuel bills, no light bills-happy turtles.
We fashioned a boat with our own
hands. 1t was large enough to carry us
both and sometimes we included one
Of our older sisters to take a ride
Explorers
We spent many happy hours drifting
about watching the turtles and frogs.
AT other times we were fishermen and,
'Oh the big ones that got away" Then
again we were Columbus and party.
We crossed to the far side of the water
and discovered America Those were,
indeed, happy days in the boat on the
,Ond
1t was great sport to run barefoot
lcross the row of stones at the end of
he pond. Sometimes we slid off into the
gater but we were always ready to
ry again and always hoped for better
1ck.
We grew Older and other things en-
cred Our lives. We were sent to the
ity schools and later to college; then
ut into the wide world and founded
ONES for ourselves in far distant
tates. Now often on winter evenings
S we sit before the fireplace. our
loughts return TO the happy days spent

the advent Of hawk is different
thing
Once they spot hawk. they fly into
trees and shrubs, as stated. but even
after it has left. they remain afraid.
Sometimes 1t will be several hours
before they return to a feeding place,
and occasionally as much as two days
will elapse.
Therefore, if the watcher sees the
birds suddenly vanish, he may suspi-
cion a hawk.
He looks for it high in the sky, max
ing the long lazy flight for which the
members of this group are famous.
Experts tell us that only four of the
larger hawks deserve DEATH that the
others are not, generally speaking, a
detriment to other birds. This is, of
course. in opposition to the popular
view, which believes that every hawk,
regardless of species or size deserves
extinction.
If the bird watcher happens to see
a hawk, he will help the small birds
if he Immediately goes out into the
yard and let's the hawk see him.
Hawks, being intelligent as we'll as
very beautiful, are by now well aware
of the powers of man and his rifles and
guns.
An umbrella. held gun wise, will
frighten a hawk away.
A newspaper, rolled into tube and
pointed heavenward is regarded with
deep suspicion by any well-adjusted
hawk.
The power Of the press carries even
into the skies.
