Spring Wardrobe

what can | do to put new
life into last years spring
and summer clothes?" you
ask these days.
Look them over and see if
new accessories-collars and
cuff sets, belts, jewelry and
scarves, buttons-might not
put new life in a tired dress
Or suit.
Remodeling is always a pos
sibility, but first consider
time and energy spent, the
money involved and the wear
ing quality of the fabric be-
fore you decide whether it is
worthwhile. Changes in either
sleeves, shoulder line or neck
line can often give a new look
to an old garment.

Fire Safety

FIRE Sdfety
No one likes to even think
of a fire in his home, but we
can't be an ostrich and stick
our head in the sand about
this subject. We need to be
prepared to do everything we
can to save property and
lives. AS part of your home
safety, be sure every member
of your family knows what to
do If he's trapped in a burn
ing house:
If you think there is a fire,
feel doors for heat. Don't
fling doris open.
Eff door is hot, block with
furniture or mattress (prefer-
ably wet) to keep out smoke
and gases.
If trapped by fire, remem-
Der the air is usually better
near the floor.

Private Group
Holds Bunny Bop

HARMONY, N. c., Nov. 25
(AP). - Barking dogs today
chased rabbits toward a line of
rs hunters who killed the bun
nies with clubs and stones. The
hunt was staged by a private
group after Harmony American
Legion Post 113 discontinued its
annual sticks-and-stones bun
ny bop after nationwide pro-
tests by humane societies.
j. C. Grant, commander of
the post, said he had no COM
ment on today's hunt. 1t was
sponsored by a group which
recently organized under t h e
name of the Union Grove Com
Hunt Association and
some members of the
post.
The hunters, about half of
them youngsters, came back
individually and the first three
men brought in eight rabbits.
The group planned to donate
the rabbits to the Post, which
sponsors an annual pre-Christ-
mas barbecue with proceeds to
charity.
The Post plans a hunt on De-
cember 16, with guns only.

Workman Rescued
From Furnace

OSHKOSH, Wis, Nov. 25
(AP) "A 61-year-old foundry
worker was buried in a cupola
furnace yesterday when an
other workman inadvertently
filled it with coke, but stayed
alive by budding near an air
hole for an hour and a half.
The worker, Lester Tice, fl
nally managed to attract the
attention of a foreman by
thrusting his air hammer
through the 6-by-6-inch hole.
He was removed through a trap
door in the bottom of the fur
mace and was taken to Mercy
Hospital for observation but
was released today. He escaped
with bruises.
"A lot of things went through
my mind" Mr.. Tice told news
men, but I was pretty sure
I'd be found. I've got aches
and pains now but I can stand

Mice Muy Cause
Plant Damage

Mice can cause a considerable
amount of damage to bulbs,
perennials, and many trees and
shrubs. Mice were especially
bad last year because they
caused a great deal of damage
underneath the snow. Many
people didn't realize that mice
we're at work until the snow
disappeared and then most of
the damage was done. One of
the most effective ways to
control mice outside is to use
treated bait. This may be seed
that has been treated with Zinc
PhoSphide. Be very careful
when using this chemical as it
is very poisonous. The bait
should be placed in the mice
so that other wildlife
won't be able to get at it.

Snow damage to trees and
shrubs may be prevented by
knocking the sRow off of the
branches with a broom. When
the broom is not long enough
wrap a burlap sack about a
pole to avoid injury to bark
and twigS. Last week ends
snow was Of such short dura-
ton that it did practically no
damage. However, a wet heavy
snow such as this one, could
cause injury by diStorting
branches if not breaking them,
For this reason the snow re-
moval suggested above should
be a must.
In addition it is desirable
to wrap with a stout, coarse
cord, all evergreens such as
the Globe arborviate and box
wood whose branches might be
spread apart by heavy SHOWS.
This may be done inconSpic-
uously if the cord is threaded
through the branches so that
it supports the woody stems
rather than congresses the
whole.

Small VS.. Large

Some people in buying trees
and shrubs seem to have
a phobia for buying the largest
sizes. Such plants undoubtedly,
and without exception, suffer
the greater shock in digging
and moving. Smaller sizes are
not injured nearly as much,
hence start into strong growth
much sooner and often surpass
the larger sized plants in a year
or two. The Georgia Expert
ment Station in their recent
annual report shows this to be
an important consideration to
commercial fruit growers who
want early production and the
minimum of plant losses.

This does not apply to the
evergreens or the roses which
are still in active growth. They
must have their roots enclosed
in an ample-sized ball of earth
(the size varies with the size
of plant). Regardless of how
or what is moved the top should
be pruned to compensate for
loss of roots. Roses, for ex-
ample should be cut back to

ends of the branches cut off
and some branches removed.

Star Garden Editor

The geraniums still blooming
in the garden are making such
an attractive display that most
gardeners would like to keep
them over winter. The ques-
ton then becomes whether or
not to pot them up, and try to
find a suitable place; to forget
them because of the effort re-
quired. or to try some other
method. OF course, many have
heard about how grandmother
simply pulled the plants up and
hung them in the cellar.
Normally cuttings are taken
a bit earlier in the season and
rooted in sand. The small
plants thus started must be
given a sunny window and not
too much water because they
should be grown in a heavy
soil. But first. the cuttings are
allowed to callous for week
or more before they are put
in the sand-filled propagating
box. New tips make the best
cuttings. And when calloused
they should be dipped into some
fungicide such as Captain to
prevent disease in the soft
woody stem. Geranium cut
tings are best rooted in clean,
sharp builders sand (not river

Fall Pruning

The fall pruning of shrubs
and trees might well be started
whenever it is dry enough to
be climbing about. Sharp prun-
ing tools make the job easier
as we'll as make cuts that are
easily sealed to prevent the in
roads of rot fungi. The cut
ting back of roses should be
postponed until cold weather
stops growth. However, it is
good practice to apply a dor
mant spray to clean up the
over-wintering black spot spores
on the canes. Do this on a day
when temperatures are above
freezing.

Stake Gore

Tomato and dahlia stakes
should be cleaned, brought in
doors, fired off and dipped into
a wood preservative if they are
to remain in good condition
for another seasons use. To
leave in the ground is to en-

out-of-doors unless protected
from moisture is also ligely to
shorten their useful life.

Beauty ymHowers
Beauty Is All Around Us
By MRS. HERBERT H. eREeER

The longer we live the more
extended become our horizons.
and the deeper our understand
ing. All Of us are equipped with
capabilities and with degrees of
limitations. We vary only in
the degree to which we use the
full capacity of these endow-
ments. We are told today that
we use only a fraction of our
mental as well as physical ca
paclty and statistics shock us
into realizing how much we
squander of our privileges.
In the immediate past, our
whole countryside was wrapped
in the snowy color spectacle of
autumn. We talked color, re-
joiced in seeing it, used color,
and were generally wild about
it. Yet, only a small percentage
OF the world around us was
dipped in truly riotous hues.
After the first snow, it seems
that the glistening white en-
velops everything. Yet the
structural designs, the core on
which the glitter as well as the
laughing colorS were hung, were
there then as they are now but
veiled form view and design be-
came noneXistent or invisible tt
many. To see, to know and to
feel while we are seeing, to look
around, and through and be-
side us would be the abundant
full use of our senses.
How natural and uncompli-
Gated such usage can be may
be shown in the simple lines
of night-chant of the Nava-
no, who sings;
In beauty I walk.
With beauty before me I walk
With beauty behind me walk
With beauty below me I walk
With beauty above me I walk
With beauty all around me
walk"
Space becomes visible when il
is occupied. Thus a fluffy cloud
birds on the wing, a trail ol
smoke or the vapor path of 6
jet can invite our eyes to trave
into defined directions.
When the structural design;
of nature become stark and re.
vealed, it is but step for ar
arranger to become interested
in this seasonal dominance.

Whenever the soil is dry

thinly since most of them do
not transplant easily. Adequate
spacing is just as important
with the hardy ANIMALS as it

quality blooms are wanted for

The new system essentially
