MORE. FLOWERS

Here's good news for dutifuI
husbands and ardent SWANS.
Flowers for milady will soon be
more readily available. perhaps
at a lower price.
In many sections of the coun-
try, nurserymen have been hard
put to keep up with the growing
demand for cut flowers. But now
new system has evolved for
controlling weeds. insects, lar
vac and those pesky nematodes
(tiny worms).
The idea Is to fumigate the
soil; kill the insects, weeds and
such at one time. A liquid called
vapam developed by chemists
and agricultural scientists of
Stauffer Chemical Company is
mixed with water, then sprayed
onto the soil. Shortly after fumi-
cation, flowers may be planted.
John A. Cox. horticultural
at Louisiana State University,
said that agriculturally, the new
chemical Is "as effective as an
atomic weapon" No doubt this
will make milady feel just rosy.

The point I especially want to
make is that you will probably have
to ask for such insurance. Tele-
phone your agent today for prices
and a sample policy. Read this
policy carefully, especially the fine
print If the price seems too high,
ask another agent to submit his
price and sample. Life insurance
premiums are very competitive and
vary little; fire insurance premiums
are fixed by State Commissions at
very low rates; but liability rates
vary considerably.
Insurance Stocks As Investments
Stocks of life insurance com
panies are the most popular and
have had a great rise in price dur
ing the past few years. Stocks of
most fire insurance companies are
selling below their book values.
Owing to the tendency Of State
Commissions to hold down rates
(perhaps unfairly sometimes) they
are not making the money they
should. However, they have ex-
cellent managements and ample

ing is left to the drivers judgment
and when it's not very good,
there's another statistic in the
accident record.
But, until the Council, the Ma

together to require effective and
uniform signaling of all turns, Mr..
Flowers might do well to put the
heat on Dade County tail-gaters-

You Can Take 1t With You
Labor Day has always been, to
us, misnomer. That is the one day
of the year on which the fewest
possible number of Americans is
required to toll Not only that, but
it has become not merely a day but
a weekend, and a long one at that
So what happens We take to our
fifty-some million cars to HE us to
some sylvan dell or meadow or
woods, to mountain or lake or
stream or beach. And, what with
the need for sustenance and re-
freshment, smokes and snacks, we
create mountains of trash.
AS we start back to the salt
mines on. the Tuesday morning
after, highway workers on our pri-
mary roads alone will expect to
be facing 100000 tons of this litter
that must be picked up and dis
posed of. This much trash, in case
you can't quite visualise it, would
cover a two-lane highway foot
deep from Chicago to Minneapolis,
and that's 427 miles! Also, around
the 48 states, a lot of care-free
week-enders, a pprehended while
tossing this and that out of the
car window, will be facing the
Judge. They will be leaving as little
as a dollar, in Kentucky, or as
much $1,000 in Georgia to purge
their disrespect for their fellow
man. Utah, for example, is very
specific about this offense against
good manners. The sign at the
roadside says simply: $299 for
! littering highways" And practic-
ally nobody seems to think it is a
bargain.
But there's a brighter side to the
picture. For every offender, hun
dred, or perhaps a thousand, more
thoughtful citizens will be collect
ing their trash in litterbags as they
go along, and parking it in suitable
receptacles as provided by public
spirited gas stations, picnic areas,
resorts and roadside rests.
In spite of steadily increasing
highway travel, the cleanup cost

appears to be gradually diminish
ing. Credit for this, we think, be-
longs largely to an organization
called Keep America Beautiful.
Inc" and to the garden clubs and
many other civic organizations that
have joined it's nationwide cru
sade against the litterbug, and have
supported local and state enforce
ment agencies in a tougher attitude
toward the trash-tossers.
Thus we can hope for the clean
est Labor Day yet. Remember your
litterbug and remember the KAB
slogan: You CAN Take 1t With
You!"
"Open Skies Appear Blue
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, who had himself presented
the complex aerial-ground inspec-
ton plan of the Western powers
to the Russians at the London Dis
armament Conference, described il
to his press conference as per
haps the most significant proposal
in terms of peace that think has
been made in recent history, per-
haps ever"
Actually, Mr. Dulles presented
three different proposals, the most
ambitious of which would open to
inspection most of North America
the entire Arctic and all of Europe
from Ireland to the Urals.
Such plan, the Secretary was
confident, would make surprise at
tack virtually impossible, and this
in turn would make heavy arma-
ments unnecessary since an ag-
gressor, denied the advantage OF
surprise, would not attack and thu s
no defense of counter-attack would
be involved. Asked why Russia
should relinquish such an advan-
tage over a democracy that can
not make a surprise attack, Mr..
Dulles replied that the Kremlin
leaders want to appear peace
loving. ''They talk about it all
the time. They realize it is very
important propaganda advantage
for them, he said.
But, on his visit to East Berlin,
Nikita Khrushchev, in his rage a

of his erstwhile travelling COM

ers, of Dade County Fla, (Which is
Miami), is not one to take too
much stock in progress. No doubt
the automobile is a necessary evil,
but he takes dim view of these
blinking, new-fangled turn indi-
Gators.
Our replacement of the old hand

says, may have injected a danger

suggests that the blinkers can not

if anybody would bother to give

While Mr.. Flowers reports there
were s1,147 accidents due TO fall

nails, he feels that as much as "a
per cent of all Florida accidents
may have been caused by turn in
dicators.
How he arrives at this idea is
suggested by his further observa-
vation that 1877 accidents were
caused by following another car
too closely, and that "any motor
ist .4S will recall a few close
shaves he has had when the car
in front of him suddenly slows

Where we come from, this tread
ing on the other fellows heels is
called "tail-gating" and it is against
the rules of the game to run into
the car ahead whether he's going
to make a turn or not.
Frequently" continues Mr.. Flo
wers, sit is only when the driver
sees the man in front of him turn

dicator is blinking. Then, all too
often, believe it is too late"
