Use for a Turf Edser

There is q vast difference.
from q landscaping point of
view. between o planting
with q straight and q seal
loped edge.
The scalloped edge is. in
my opinion, by far the best
looking. The effort in de-
veloping one is well worth
the time. Those who have
tried to cut a nice scallop
usually have some difiiculty
In getting graceful curves.
and therefore re-cut so often
that they gradually get too
much bare ground between
shrubs and lawn edge.
The formula for making
graceful curves lies in the
simple use Of the garden
hose. Believe 1t or not, 1t is
impossible to get anything
but q graceful curve when
the hose is used as an in
dicator. It should be laid on
the lawn and adjusted to
make long sweeping curves
or short rounded curves as
conditions indicate.

Edging can be done with
O sharp spade. But the best
tool is the turf-edger, a half
moon-shaped steel blade with
q long handle. This tool is
sharpened by setting 1t in a
wise and filing the edge with
q fine file. This produces q
raw, sharp edge that is ideal
for cutting through tough
turf. A dull edger will break
and crumble the turf and fall
to produce q clean cut.
In using the turf-edger, the
best procedure is to push
down with the foot on this

! think It's best TO prevent
delinquency before 1t starts.
In Chicago we have several
neighborhood councils which
have been set up to search
out the trouble spots. They
call on families of delin-
events to try to correct the
situation In the home where
they believe the trouble
begins. Perhaps the parents
are foreign born and don't
understand the language or
customs Of their new coun-
try. Or maybe the family is
destitute and the teenager is
committing petty theft be-
cause he needs clothes or
food. Since statistics seem
to- show that most juvenile
delinquents come from
broken homes, these councils
also try to prevent such
breakups by seeking out and
correcting the causes"

don't think they should be

They should be made to
realize they can't defy the
law. However, I don't think
uniform punishment is a
good idea. because every
child responds differently.
Some might bottle up their
resentment and rebel all the
harder. / think a citizens

Mrs. Joe Bussey Of Des
Moines. Iowa: Yes, I think
children should be dealt with.
They should be under super
vision and care. There's some
good in everybody: they're
not all bad. But think they
should be curbed and pun
ished in the wrongs they've
done. In juvenile gang war
fare I think the leader should
be punished as much as the
offenders because he led
them on. They're not born
that way; they're a little
weak and they're not careful
Of who they associate with.
If the home has been the
cause of the youngsters de-
linquency. he should not be
left there but placed under
strict supervision, perhaps in
