nual function.
Meanwhile, the scholarship
fund had increased with the ris-
ing cost of education from $500
to 81, 900 a year. 1t also became
increasingly difficult for the
auxiliary to play the same role
in selection of scholarship re-
cipients as they had done in
conjunction with high school
committees.
So in 1858, the auxiliary de-
cided to turn over its money to
the University of Maryland
School of Nursing grants maid

deserving Maryland girls, par
ticularly those from Montgom-
cry County.
Last year the Auxiliary ini-
tiated in addition a non-interest
loan fund for a junior or senior
medical student to enable him
to finish his studies.
Nursing scholarships so far
have gone to girls from Pooles-
vile, Damascus, Rockville, Ia
koma Park and Hagerstown.
The organization, now swell
ed to 10 members, is headed by
Mrs. John Curry of Manor
Club; Mrs. Andrew Brennan of
Bethesda is secretary; Mrs.
Morris Perry of Silver Spring is
treasurer, and Mrs. Ira Wick
ner from Bethesda is show

In This House Everything
Runs Like CLockwork

His wife, with good-natured
humor, suggests it might "be a
bit much"
One of the remarkable things
about her husbands hobby is
that it is so recent. He bought
his first clock just three years
ago.
1t began at a country auction
in Vermont. Joe Vernick start
ed bidding on an old clock just
because he liked 1t. He worked
on it, repaired 1t and before
long, his great love affair with
antique clocks and the intrica-

Now he is a clinical social
worker at the National Insti-

marily with children. The Yer
hicks, who moved to the Home
wood section of Kensington in
1854, have three children-Ken-
meth, 8; Andrew, 6, and Lee, 2.
Mr.. Vernick now buys very
few of his clocks at auction.
Most of them come from other
collectors in swaps or trades
or through the sale list pub
lished in the Bulletin of the Ma
tional Association of Watch and
Clock Collectors, Inc, to which
he subscribes.
From his contacts with col
lectors Mr.. Vernick feels quite
sure that his is the largest col
lection of calendar clocks in the
country.
To keep his hobby going, Mr..
Vernick has gone into antique
clock and watch repairing. He
has quite a collection of
watches, too, one a calendar

phases of the moon.
One of his rarest clocks is a

The Woman's Auxiliary to the

fifth annual Embarrassing fash.
ion show to benefit its nursing
and medical study scholarship
fund.
The show and luncheon bear

will feature spring and cruise

The show, first held in 1859,

student both administered by

The scholarship for nurses,
however, goes back to 1949, two
years after the Auxiliary was
organized to extend the aims
of the medical profession"
At that time there was a
severe shortage of nurses and
the newly formed group COM

proposed a scholarship to en-
courage young women to enter
nursing.
With a membership of about
$3.50, the group gave small
luncheons for nominal fee pre-

Auxiliary members. But as the
group grew, it became imprac-
teal for club hostesses to pro-

members turned to other fund

similar projects.

The Garden Path

Mild winter weather, like
that of last week, is just fine
for most of us - 1t can spell
serious damage In the garden.
Particularly with shallow-rooted
plants set out last fall.
Freezing and thawing of the
ground causes many plants to
heave, tearing away the roots.
A good mulch, acting as sort
of blanket, prevents this dam
age. Well-rotted sawdust, peat
moss and straw should be placed
around plants after the ground
is frozen and kept there until
chance of frost has gone in the
spring. Be sure your plants still
are well mulched and in the
case of straw, weighted down to
keep it from blowing away.
If your holiday poinsettia has
lost its blooms, don't throw the
plant away - it's not dead yet.
You can have poinsettia blooms
year after year from this one
plant. Here's how:
After the flowers have turned
yellow and faded the upper
parts Of the stems are cut off.
Then store the plants in a cool
dry place such as your cellar
until May. In May, repot the
plant and put it in sunny win
dow, watering 1t regularly. New
shoots will be produced. AS soon
as these shoots are about six
inches long, cut them off and
put them in a good roofing med
ium = any material that will
give good drainage. This could
be sand, perlite or vermiculite.
After the plants are rooted
put them in six-inch pots. Then
they should be placed in an area
where the temperature is about
60 degrees. Poinsettias are short
day = long night plants and
flowers will be initiated when.
ever the dark period is II hours
or longer and the temperature
is about SIS to 65 degrees.
In order to give your plants
short days, you may have to
cover them with a black opaque
material in order to initiate
flower bud formation. If you
start giving your plants short
days about Oct. 10, they will
bloom for Christmas.

tips any time of the day or night

Crimson Satan
ToFace KeIso

NEW YORK, Aug. 20 (AP)
Crimson Satan, one of the
seasons top handicap horses,
is due by plane from Chicago
today and is scheduled to hook
up with the mighty Kelso Mon
day at Aqueduct in the $780,
000-added Aqueduct Stakes.
If some horse is about to
make a serious challenge to
sn a tch horse of-the-yeaI
honors from Kelso, it's about
time to make a big pitch.
Kelso, the 6-year-old star
from the Bohemia Stable OF
Mrs. Richard C. DUPONT, won
the horse-of- the-year title for
an unpreced ented third
straight year in 1862, and is
leading again in the title
scramble.
Crimson Satan has been all
over the country this year and
looms as Kelso's chief rival. In
his most recent start - last
Saturday at Arlington Park in
Chicago-Crimson Satan came
with a rush to capture the
$113,150 Washington Park
Handicap.
1t was the fifth big stakes
score for Crimson Satan this
year in IL starts.
The Aqueduct is an allow
ance event, with weight based
on money earned, and Kelso
must pack 1874 pounds. Grim
son Satan will carry 1919.
In March Kelso packed 131
at Bowie and beat Crimson
Satan, 124, in the 100000
Campbell Handicap.
Crimson Satan later won the
Massachusetts H dicap at
Suffolk Downs, and the Mich
igan Mile and One Sixteenth
at Detroit. Kelso now has
won five straight.
However. the Aqueduct is far
from a two-horSe race. Rex
c. Ellsworth's Candy Spots, a
candidate for the 3-year-old
crown, is a probable starter
