First You Plant
EN-, Then Tear
Up, Start Anew

If your home is 10, Is or more
years old, you may wish to con,
slider a landscape modernization
Chances are your shrubs have
completely outgrown their period
of attractiveness and are now
more of a liability than an asset.
Attempted regeneration by dras.
tic pruning is a job for the ex.
prets. Trimming down giant
paintings requires three to four
years and is apt to be unsatis.
factory, even when skillfully
done.
Sue his the advice of A. F.
Rumph, field representative of
the Davey Tree Expert Co., who
says exterior decoration, like the
interior kind, needs re-doing on
occasion. 1t is frequently cheap
er and more satisfying to dig the
mammoth old material and start
again with new.
Many of our shrubs, both ever
green and deciduous expend the
best of their youthful beauty in
10 to IS years. They outgrow
t cir locations and become
1eggy", with a minimum of
growth at the bottom. Plant
breeders have made remarkable
strides in the past decade and a
half. New favorites are yews,
which have supplanted other
shrub-type evergreens. In flower
ing shrubs, new and dwarf varie-
ties of such popular paintings as
mockorange, viburnums and
Towering ounces are vastly
superior to those planted only Is
or 20 years ago.
Among deciduous shrubs like
ly to outgrow their usefulness
on the limited home property are
lilacs, forsythia and weigela.
Among evergreens, Pfitzer's
juniper, pyramidal arborvitae,
Lawson Falsecypress and many
others can assume rather tree
like proportions. Outstanding
old specimens are assets only on
attractive grounds where space
permits their developments.

and allowances. This was the
first time such a program had
been presented to the PTA.
The students were chosen by
their classmates to represent
them. Naturally they were all
good speakers.
Those selected were: Harvey
Price of the 18th grade, Mike
Spear of the 9Th grade, Don
Schaeffer of the 9th grade,
Retha Morgan of the 10th grade
ana irene Gershon of the 18th
grade.
Leo Riddell one of the parents
was the moderator. Comments
We're also made by Mr.. Griggs
representing the parents and
Mrs. Margaret Moore, a teacher
The children did express them
selves freely on every phase of
the two topics.
l thought Mr.. Riddells re-
marks were quite interesting.
He has moderated similar pro-
grams at other high schools and
he was most reassuring to this
mother.
From his point of view the
children change their minds con-
stantly. So parents do not
despair. AS each child reaches
the next age group or grade his
entire attitude changes although
today he is SO adamant about his
feelings on all subjects.
It's good to know that they
change for the better.

A possible solution, if rust &C.

is to install equipment designed

where a difficult iron problem

Rusty Water Cure
Depends Upon Cause

To overcome rust in the water
system, a problem common to
many farm and suburban fami-
lies, it is essential first to determ-
inc the cause of the trouble. Rust
can be caused by several differ
ent types of water and different
conditions occurring frequently in
Maryland, explains University of
Maryland Extension Agricultural
Engineer Albert V. KreWatch.
Rust that appears only in the
hot water system can probably
be overcome by replacing corrod-
ed piping with copper tubing and
installing a glass-lined hot-water

the national and state organizations
of certified public accountants. Use
these articles. together with the in
structions that come with your fed
eral income tax forms, to guide you
in making out your return.
Most taxpayers report their in

cash basis. and the new rules are
explained here as they apply to
these typical taxpayers. Anyone
who uses different fiscal year or
reports on an accrual basis should
check the official instructions to see
how he is affected.
Completely Revised Tax Rules
Last August the Internal Revenue
Code was completely overhauled by
Congress and thousands of changes
were made affecting taxpayers. 1t is
estimated that every year a million
taxpayers OUerpay their income
taxes by total of more than
$100.000.000. More millions of tax.
payers pay less tax than is due,
making them liable for assessments,
interest and possible penalties.
With the many changes of the
new law there is even greater dan
ger of mistakes this year unless you
read the instructions and prepare
your tax return with great care.
This is good reason for starting
long before April Is. Here's another:
You May Get Refund
If you find that more tax has been
withheld from your wages than you
actually owe, you will be entitled
to a refund of the difference. The
sooner you file your return, the
sooner you are likely to get your
refund.
What are the chances Of a re-
fund? Well, your tax will probably
be less because of the reduction Of
approximately 1919 in tax rates
since last year, but you have been
getting the advantage Of this re-

lower edge of the apron-the por-

sill. This length gives a perky in
formal air to a room. 1t is adap-
table to many types of windows
and makes it possible to use
many fabrics which could not be
used in the full length treatment.
The third length is sill length.
This one is especially good for
easement and recessed windows.

Dance Set Up
At Rec Center
Friday Night
BY SUSIE KAPLAN
10. 4-7368

When 1 last spoke to Jim Shu-
mate, the group leader for the
teen-agers of the Wheaton area,
he was just organizing his
groups.
But the picture is quite diff
ferent now.
New officers for the junior
group have been elected.
They are: Robert Boyer, presi-
dent; Howard Hartman, vice
president; Sue Porreca, secre-
tary; Harold Snyder; treasurer.
Over so to 6S youngsters show
up for the programs that are
held each weekend.
This Friday night, Feb. Is,
from 8 to 1880 pm. another big
dance will be held at the Whea-
ton Recreation Center. Why not
make it a date? Don't forget
that all are eligible to join. Jim
says he can handle many more
children. Committees are now
being formed to help with any
programs you might like to have.
Everything seems to require a
great deal of planning these
days. Roads, sewer lines,
schools, recreational facilities,
shopping centers, water ways
and l could name a dozen more.
More and more it is imperative
not to let subdivisions mush-
room by themselves. Guards
must be maintained against sud-
den changes in coming regula-
tons so that people are not
liable to find a gas station going
up next door or across the way
over night.
Just attend any citizens asso-
citation meeting where re-Zoning
hearings are a must at many of
the get-togethers.
Many of your neighbors here
in Wheaton and Glenmont are
members of "Citizens Committee
to Unity Montgomery County
Planning" commonly referred to
as "The Slayton Committee"
Evelyn Myers, Marilyn White,
Ray Murphy, Bea Rosen, Edith
Kirkland, Esther Cottrell, Robert
Marvin and Elizabeth Bolton are
just a small group of the COM
mittee that is countrywide and
they urge that you become ac-
quainted with the group.
There are several m a or
points stressed by the Slayton
Committee that they hope will
be Incorporated into the new
law being considered by the
legislature.
The most important proposal
the committee recommends is a
single county planning agency
under the County Council.
With this system the county
government could control the
tax money levied and how it is
spent. The Planning Commits
sioners woul be appointed by the
County Council and its en-
ployees would be covered by the
county merit system.
I'm terribly sorry l missed
the Wheaton High PTA meeting
the other night.
