participate in observance of
May as Senior Citizens Month"
by showing personal concern
for the health, we'll being and
happiness of our Senior Citiz-
ems at home, at work and at
leisure" Visits to those aged
persons confined in hospitals,
nursing homes and other estab-
lishments were also suggested
by the chief executive.
In proclaiming "Senior Citi-
zens Month";" Governor Boggs
called attention to the fact that
"this State and Nation owe
their present prosperity and the
bright promise of their future
to the lifelong efforts and sac
rifices of those whom we re-
spect and honor as Senior Cit
izenS."
He also recommended fullest

move all lateral buds except the
lowest paid. He said this will
give you long-stemmed large
flowers.
Dahlias need plenty of mois-
ture. Mulching with straw,
grass clipping, rotted manure,
or other plant remains will help
keep the soil moist and cool.
Put the mulch on as soon as
they start to bloom. An occa-
sional heavy watering will also
stimulate active growth.
Remember, it's not the size of
the root at planting time that
determines the size and number
of flowers produced but more
important is the soil and culture
given this responsive plant, Mr..
Harris said.

State WeII-Suited
To Dahlia Growth

OF all garden flowers, perhaps
no other flower rewards the gar
dener with such a profusion of
beautiful blossoms as the dah-
liza, says county urban assistant
Dick Harris.
1t seems well adapted to this
area as hundreds of gardeners
produce beautiful dahlias on a
wide range of soils.
Good soil, plenty of mois-
ture, ample sunlight, and pest
control are necessary to produce
the best flowers" he said.
Dahlias can be grown in any
soil that is deep, fertile, and
well drained. Plenty of organic
matter is needed for best re-
suits. Add humus in the form of
leaf mold, compost, peat moss,
well rotted manure, or other
types, he recommended. If your
soil is acid, add one to four
pounds of limestone per 100 So.
ft. About three pounds of 5-l0-
10 or 5-l0-5 commercial ferti-
liZer worked into the soil before
planting, will aid growth too.
It's important that the soil be
worked to a depth of at least 10
or II inches. After the plants
are about foot tall add top
dressing of one to two tea
spoonsful of complete fertilizer
per plant. This should be put
about five to eight inches away
from the base of the plant.
Work it into the soil with a rake
or cultivator.
Set the plants deep to insure
good root formation. On sandy
soil six inches is about right and
on heavy soils put them about
four inches deep. Cover with
about two inches of soil and
gradually fill in the hole as they
grow.
Spacing will depend on the
variety you wish to grow, MIR.
Harris says. Tall growing vari-
cites should be spaced at least
three feet apart. Four or five
feet is even better.
1t is easy to divide the clumps
of tuberous roots. The dahlia
produces buds or eyes at the
crown or juncture of the stem
and root. Be sure when dividing
a clump to have at least one
strong bud or eye with each di-
vision. Use pruning shears or a
sharp knife; don't break apart.
the exceptionally large, fleshy
roots may be cut off at the low
er end, causing a large clump to
form.
Pruning dahlias is important
to produce the maximum supply
of flowers. When the plants are
about foot tall cut off at the
second node end set of leaves).
Then allow the plants to develop
four strong branches. These
branches may be pinched again
to produce more branches if de-
sired.
Disbudding is the removal of
buds which grow in the axis of
the leaves. Allow the first bud
or terminal bud to develop. Re-

NEWARK. N. j.. July IS
(AP) .-Jacqueline Gay Hart
returned pale and tight-iipped
tonight to Newark Airport
the scene OF her mysterious
disappearance four days ago.
She was led TO a waiting
police car by her father and
her fiance after Newark Police
Director Joseph F. Weldon
questioned her privately for
10 minutes aboard the plane
that brought her from Chicago.
The 2l-year-old socialite,
object OF a nationwide search
for two days, showed UP in
Chicago yesterday with a tale
of having been abducted. After
long questioning by the FBI
and her father she admitted
her story was a hoax.
She had gone to Chicago
alone by bus under emotional
tension over her impending
marriage. the FBI said.
Appears Dazed
AS Gay emerged from the
airliner before a swarm Of
newsmen and photographers,
Ralph A. Hart chucked his
daughter under the chin and
tried to smile. Gay stood ex-
pressionless, apparently in a
daZe.
Stanley Gaines, Is. her
flance. smiled confidently at
first, then showed newsmen out
of the way as he helped his
sweetheart to the car.
They left Immediately for
the lavish Hart home in Short
Hills while hundreds Of specta-
tors lined the airport's observa-
ton deck for a glimpse of the
young woman.
Mr.. Weldon, who left at the
same time, said earlier that
Gay had committed no crime
here as far as he knew.
I'm insensible after these
last few days" he said YEARLY
Rented Hotel Room
Richard D. Auerbach. FBl
chief in Chicago, told newsmen
the young socialite rented q
hotel room in Chicago and
listened to news reports about
her possible kidnapping.
He said that after attending
five movies Thursday, "in q
panic, and not quite realizing
what she was doing, and beine
all confused, she took cab Out
into the park.
/ "She walked for a while anc
then hailed the first police cal
she saw"
Then followed her story Of
a cross-country terror ride al
/ the prisoner Of two kidnapers
which she later recanted.
Mr.. Auerbach said details Of
