BRITISH ROADS
MOST CROWDED

With one vehicle for every 35
yards, Britain's l95, 900 miles
of roads are the most crowded
in the world and they are going
to become more so. the British
Road Federation says, accord
ing to The Times of London.
In a pamphlet published re-
Gently the federation states that
in 1860. Britain had 36.l We
hicles of four or more wheels
for every mile of road; West
Germany was next with 3l.8,
followed by the Netherlands.
Sweden and the United States.

BE A CHICKEN

He may be the boy or girl
next or-the guy on the stoop-
the fellow you Sc on the COR
ner all the time e-someone you
meet at a party.
He needs new addicts constant
ly to keep his own habit going.
He appeals to young people s
natural curiosity and desire to
experiment.
He takes advantage Of young
peoples lack Of information about
the dangers and destructive pow
er Of narcotics.
He takes advantage Of young
peoples fear Of being called
Chicken"
He sets a trap by offering the
first "shot" free, BUT, from then
on. it's CASH ON THE LINE.
He pretends to be a friend, but
underneath, he S the worst enc
my anybody ever had.
Nobody. but Nobody, can
play" with narcotics.
1t isn't just a simple matter
of taking it or leaving it. D.
The body builds up an increas-
ing demand for drugs that can
ONLY be satisfied by MORE
and MORE drugs.
At the same time. the COST
goes up, too -and there are no
more free shots.
A narcotics habit is expen-
sive--it cannot be supported by
working. The addict becomes a
thief, a robber. mugger. pros
titute, and a PUSHER- to support
the habit.
It's vicious circle which
sometimes ends in death-but
which most often, winds a tight
er and tighter circle around the
throat of it's unfortunate victim.
Watch out for the smooth char
acter who says. &c mon, try it.
You won't get hooked
YES, YOU WILL
Curiosity and misinformation
are the two big jaws of the trap.
Any addict will tell you-he was
SURE he wouldn't get hooked.
And he was the perfect set up
for the Pusher.
Profit from his experience.
Refuse that offer of poison.
Chickens don't die from
narcotics.

can cultivate house plants and
achieve that beautiful verdant
look outside and inside his or
her little home. There is a con-
spiracy between the plants and
the sellers of plants. Next time
you get the urge to buy some
greenery--stop and think.
In the past four years my hus-
band and | have fought a losing
battle with philodendron. rubber
trees, privet. palm trees. and
ivy. We have cajoled. cursed and
almost cried in vain trying to
make out plants attain that slick
House and Gardens Magazine
touch. We have lost sleep water
ing in the wee hours of the morn
ing (someone said watering be-
fore the sun arises is benefi-
cial). About the only thing this
aided in our situation was to make
our water bill soar.
At one time there were five
growing trees in our yard. now
there are two. A sickly. dis
colored citrus tree which pro-
duces hard green things, not lem
on not lime-I have labelled the
ruit-Limeon. I have been unable
to squeeze any juice from the
fruit and the birds don't even
attempt to take a taste. They are
excellent for substitute rocks.
Our second tree managed to
survive heat, sand, rain, neglect
and gophers. 1t is the sole sur
vivor of trio of Washington
robusta palms which were planted
nearly four years ago. Once it
appeared to be waning but now
it is looking healthier.
Few people in the Valley of
the Sun have trouble raising ole
anders, but We are exceptions.
Some type of blight struck our
. oleanders this spring and the
leaves quickly turnedyellow. Be-
fore we could summon some nur-
sery aid. the ailment halted and
most of our l101/2 plants perked
up and turned green again. That
one half Is what's left from the
scourge of gophers and an un-
known rider on horseback who
took an early am. canter through
our premises.
Inside plants have responded
worse than the outside ones. All
flower plant containers are empty
except one. It IL the homesite

which refuses to expire.
Whoever coined the phrase
concerning having q green thumb
was on the right track but un-
fortunately on the wrong train
or perhaps using lastyear's time
schedule. To become a grower
of luxurious green things one
must possess and give in return
lots of greenbacked dollars.
The green in our home and
yard are not the results of green
thumbs -or even toes. Each green
sprig. counting the blades of
bermuda plus chicweed and the
two trees surrounded by ITO III
oleanders are living proof that it
pays to have green in the pockets
If you want green in the yard and
flower pots.
