Robert Rodeheaver, art and core
instructor at Southern High school
for several years, has been named
principal of the Center street
school in Oakland for the coming
school year it was announced Tues
day by Willard l.. Hawkins, county
superintendent of schools. An
nounccmcnt was made following
an official meeting of the Board
of Education.
Heretofore one principal had
served both the Annex and Center
street school, but Mr.. Hawkins
pointed out that the new school
will be opened early during the
coming school year and is located
such a distance from the Center
street school as TO make this plan
no longer practical. The principal
of both schools, Foster Riggs. will
devote full time to the administra-
tive and supervisory duties at the
new elementary school.
Hawkins said Rodcheaver was
selected as a result of his outstand-
ing work during the past several
years at Southern and for ways in
which he has exhibited leadership
qualities in his profession as well
as for his ability to work we'll with
pupils, parents and teachers.
Mr.. Rodeheaver was graduated
from West Virginia university and
is working on his Masters degree
at the university

Elm bark beetles which trans
NIT the fungus infection emerge
In spring from diseased trees

they feed In tiny twig crotches

its long residual effect will kill
the beetles before they have a

The brilliantly colored Oriental
poppies make a most picturesque
appearance in any garden. They
are relatively easy to grow, de-
manding only a sunny situation
In a well-drained' soil. On
doubtedly they would be more
widely grown If planting time
were other than in August. Most
gardeners are more interested
at that season in a cool place
to sit rather than to dig holes
for such uueer-lookin roots
The poppies seem to be free
from insects and diseases when
planted in a well-drained loamy
soil. Some varieties seem to be
more tolerant Of unfavorable
conditions than others. The
whites are not especially de-
sirable because the pollen soon
destroys their whiteness.
The veronica is a little-grown
perennial although it lasts well

popular garden flowers although
they lack the dependability de-

the fragrance makes them popu-

iris require a sunny situation IN

is moist it is well to plant them
on a slightly raised portion of
the bed. The iris multiply very
rapidly and require dividing

Control of the iris borer is i'm
portant to the health and per-
manence Of a planting. The
pest is easily controlled by spray

June or the first of July with a
DDT solution to which has been
added a good sticker-spreader
