Start Your Indoor
Garden Now

With winter coming on, and the
back garden becoming rather bare,
this is a good time to think about
collecting house plants, says Rob-
ert Stevens, horticultural specialist,
Agricultural Extension Service,
University of Delaware.
House plants are chosen to suit
your living conditions, Mr.. Stevens
sugguests. For the apartment
dweIler, succulent plants and cacti
are best as they only need reason
able care, and can survive in dry
atmosphere with little light. Cras-
sula (Jade plant), Peperomia,
Cedums or Sanseveria (Snake
Plant are all good choices for the
apartment. They can be put direct
ly in a planter and placed effec-
lively on a coffee table or perhaps
the top of TV set.
For the home or room which
lacks light, the foliage plant can
be quite successful, the expert says.
These also are best combined di-
rectly in planter. Try Coleus,
Philodendron or Chinese Ever
green. With a simple narrow trel-
lis, Grape Ivy makes an attractive
climber.
Brighten the sunny window with
African Violet, Geranium, Patience
Plant. or Begonias. These last are
almost never without some indi-
yiduals in bloom, and most of them
have colorful and interesting
leaves.
Flowering plants are best potted
separately, Mr.. Stevens warns.
Place the pots in the planter sunk
in soil, peat moss or sand, and no
one will ever know!
A few tips to keep in mind
the pots in which the plants are
growing should be painted uni
form color, scrubbed clean, or hid
den. Sickly plants should either be
thrown away or eparated-they
don't belong in an ornamental dis
play. Yellowing leaves and faded
flowers must be picked off daily.
Watering, spraying, feeding and
pruning are especially important
for indoor plants.N Remember,
you're replacing Mother Nature.
How you combine your plants
makes all the difference in the
world to the final effect. You'll find
that your local florist or garden
store can help you make effective
use of your present plants, and
they have supplies of high quality
stock to fill in gaps in different
spots around the house.

Tourists Honest,
But FOrgetful

ORMOND BEACH, Fla. Up
They leave their children and pets
behind but they're honest and nat
urally Merrill Ellinor loves them.
Ellinor means tourists-and tour
lists mean his living.
He operates $50 villas, housing
as many as 5000 guests night.
Since he opened in 1949, he has
cashed 10000 checks and only
$31612 of these proved worthless.
Right off hand" says Helen
Lowell, the operations chief house,
keeper, "I can't think of. anything
that hasn't been left behind at one
time or another"
An out-of-state couple travelling
with their five children checked
out one afternoon and, as usual,
two maids were sent to prepare the
villa for the next occupants.
The maids found a 5-year-old lad
on the living room floor reading
comic books. Hasn't your family
gomez" he was asked He waved
his hand and said without looking
up, "Oh they're around"
His parents returned in an hour
to get him.
Another family left their pet
pooch tied to a bed post for three
hours-and they said when they
came back it might have been
longer if one of their children had
not suddenly noticed the absence.
Miss Lowell says many guests in
advertantly carry off items but the
majority is returned. She says such
case is typical:
Dear Mr. Ellinor Enclosed find
frying pan. :" .
The pan of heavy cast iron had
been carefully wrapped and sent
first class ,mail-the postage far
more than the pan was worth.
She says that it may be odd and
contrary to the usual story about
hotels but ''the popular theory
that travellers will carry off any
thing that's not nailed down just
doesn't hold true here And since
the villas are equipped for kitchen
use also, there's a lot more than
you'll find in the usual hotel room. .

Milford Vets Day
Speaker Talks To
High School Students

''The Russians may eventually
plant their flag on the moon but as
long as. the spirit of Americas
fighting men, past and present, con-
tinues to dwell in the hearts and
minds of our young people, no flag
but old Glory will ever fly over
these United States. These reas-
suring words were given by Ed
ward w. Clarke, senior vice COM
mander of the Department of Della
ware, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
talk given at a special assembly of
the Milford High School Wednes-
day morning.
Commander Clarke called the at
tention of his youthful audience to
the fact that the month of Novem-
Der offers three very significant
patriotic events-Veterans Day, the
anniversary of Lincoln's Gettys-
burg Address and Thanksgiving
Day. while dissimilar in some
ways each of these do have one big
thing in common, advised the
speaker in pointing out that each
provides occasion for expressing
heartfelt thanks for the unique
blessings enjoyed by Americans"
"These blessings, according. to
Commander Clarke, "are only pos
sible due to the courage and fore
sight of our country's founders and
those who through countless gen.
erations fought to preserve the
American Way of Light.
Commander Clarke was intro
duced by David S. Hugg, command
er of Blue Hen Post #6483, VFW,
sponsors of the annual Veterans
Day assembly.
Another highlight of the program
was the presentation to Milfard
High School of a 49-star American
Flag. The presentation was made
by Mrs. A Preston Cannon, Amer
icanism chairman of the Ladies
Auxiliary to Post #6483, with Prin-
cipal James Atkinson accepting on
behalf of the school.
Other program participants were
the Rev. Edwin A. Tu1l, who gave
the invocation; the Rev. John A.
Corrigan, who gave a Memorial
Prayer; and Mrs. John Kniceley,
patriotic instructor of the Ladies
Auxiliary to Post #6483. Music
appropriate to the occasion was
provided by the Milford High
School Band under direction of Mr..
Paul Teare.
The program at the school was

Tuesday evening, VFW families
gathered at the Post Home, here,
for an observance that included

der Clement j. Nevins headed the
committee on arrangements for

HEAVY PENALTY FOR
SHOOTING NAVIGATION
AIDS; WARNING GIVEN

NORFOLK, June ia buoy
light found extinguished by shot
from small caliber firear1n in
Jones Bay, North Carolina has
prompted Coast Guard authorities
to warn hunters and practicing
marksman against using aids to
navigation as targets.
The Coast Guard pointed out
that interference with the proper
function of aids to navigation is
"a violation of Federal Regulations,
regardless of intent, and that
those convicted are liable to fines
up to and including $1,000. Addi-
tionally, the individuals is liable
for costs to the government in
placing the "aid" back on opera
ton.
Those shooting firearms on or
near the water are cautioned
against the possibility of ricochets
striking navigation aids, thereby
placing the shooter in a position
of interfering with their proper
function.
The Coast Guard also pointed
out an additional hazard in shoot
ing over water. Projectiles have a
tendency to skip along the sur
face and carry greater distances
than the normal range of the fire
arm. Accuracy is uncertain under
this circumstance giving the
shooter no control over his target
and heighting the possibility Of
striking an unintentional object
possibly human.

g II M P S E S
THE PAST
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

It was hard to believe, but there
it was in black and white: an army
Pfc. has been acquitted on a court
martial charge that he wilfully de-
stroyed government property. The
charge. Slicing the eyes of potatoes
instead of digging them out with a
knife. To make the story more
astounding, the name of the ac-
cused is Andrew God, Jr.
That must have been an interest
ing trial. Imagine the tense still
ness in the court room when the
prosecuting officer demanded,
"Now, God, did you or did you
not slice the eyes out of those
potatoes 2"
My sympathy goes out to that
soldier. He must have suffered
greatly at the hands of his COM
rades-in-arms. No doubt he IS ac-
customed to hearing, "Who do you
thing you are-God?" and other
supposedly humourous cracks. No
wonder the boy lost his perspective
and lashed back at the army and
the world by committing the helm
Gus crime of slicing when he should
have dug. 1t was crime that any
cook could understand. Getting the
eyes out of a pound of potatoes is
tedious enough, and the thought of
tackling enough for an army mess
is enough to drive one to desperate
measures.
Seriously, though, such a trial
makes the U. S. Army look ridic-
ulous. To civilian a court martial
sounds like an important trial. His
mind pictures the scenes in the
court martial of General Billy
Mitchell who defied his superiors
over the question of air power, or
the Marine, McKeon, charged with
leading men to their deaths. In
comparison, a trial over peeling
potatoes seems like going from the
sublime to the ridiculous.
1t is comforting, however, to
know that someone in the army is
concerned about wasting money,
We hear tales of surplus equip
ment discarded and rotting and the
duplication of materials that cost
the taxpayers millions. Perhaps
Congress, in an economy drive,
sent out an order to balance the
budget by saving on potatoes. Our
own General Assembly, definitely
an economy-minded one, might
have profited by the idea. They
could sent out a directive on po-
tato peeling to all state institu-
tions and to the headquarters OF
the National Guard in Henderson.
Pfc. Andrew God, Jr., was ac-
quilted, and, if still on KIP, is
probably now painstakingly dig
ging out potato eyes. If that story
got about widely,the army might
be having a little trouble with re-
cruiting right now The real dan
ger lies in the possibility that the
story was picked up by the press
in countries that are not overly
fond of the U. S. A. They could
hardly be blamed for using the
