During this season Of grey
skies and high winds. the
lengthening days and the
arrival Of colorful seed cata-
logs give promise Of better
things ahead.
While browsing through
your catalogs WHY not give
some thought to flower seeds
for use In a cutting garden?
BY concentration. many
flowers can be grown in .
comparatively small space.
You need not worry about ar
rangements In q cutting gar
den or that colors must
blend, and you don't have to
plant flowers that are natur-
ally neat In their forms and
characters. Whole plants
may be stripped OF their
flowers without any concern
about spelling ARRANGEMENTS
OF special effects. as would
be the case in a well-planned
border or garden.
This doesn't mean that
emitting gardens shouldn't be
carefully planned. In the
first place they should be
located in a sunny spot to
help productivity. Since their
function is to furnish beau
tiful flowers rather than 10
be beautiful themselves. such
gardens are best located

The mouse is about 35 years
old. but this was the first
winter noticed the black
substance on the hearth.
What can we do to correct
this?
Answer: Wood contains a
high pert entage Of volatile
materials which. when burned
are vaporized and carried of
as smoke Sometimes these
yapors are cooled by contact
with the masonry of the
chimney and condense to
form a dark, creosote- like
liquid on the sides Of the
fiue. Chimney brickwork may
eventually become soaked
and drip down.
The only way to get rid
OF cieosote is to rebuild the
upper part of the chimney.
for that is where the creosote
usually collects. When re-
building, include a fire-clay
fiue lining II the chimney
flue is sufficiently large,
creosoting can be prevented
by inserting a length of
porcelain enameled pipe. ex-
tending from the fiue con-
nection of the flreplaces TO
the top of the chimney. thus
increasing the strength of
the draft. and checking cool

 Representative Basil Whitener D-NC introduced a bill to in- crease the number of seats from 435 to 438. He reminded the House the acts admitting Alaska and Ha- waii as states provided for a tenn porary increase of two seats in the House.
 Another seat shiuld be added, he said, to provide for the second representative Hawaii would gain as a result of reapportionment after the 1860 census.

Reds Warn of Way To Shatter U. s. From Arctic Ice

LONDON, LR - Moscow broad cast Tuesday a warning that mis- sile-bearing Red submarines could enter Hudson Bay from under the Arctic ice and lombard the in dustrial heart of America.
 The warning was printed in the naval newspaper Soviet Fleet, and was part of an unusually heavy propaganda broadside released by Tass via it's radio tranSmitters.
 This came "A hours after a Washington news conference of Admiral Arleigh Burke, chief of U. s. Naval Operations, raised the possibility the Soviet Union al ready has ballistic missile-firing submarines. The United States is still working on it's first ones.
 Asked if he believed the Rus sians have submarines able to launch ballistic as well as older missiles, Burke said:
 ''I think they probably have both."
 However, the Soviet craft pre- umably are still conventionally powered. The United States has been putting atomic submarines into its fleet for about three years. The submarine Nautilus made his tory last summer by crossing the top of the world under the Arctic ice.
 Soviet Fleet said Those people with taste for aggression should remember the Arctic Ocean is not U. s. inland lake"
 It said some U s. military lead CTS concede the threat of modern Soviet submarines able to travel under the Arctic ice. The news paper described these as forced admissions" that the U.S.SR. could retaliate against attacks by U. s. submarines armed with Polaris rockets.
