When You Retire (Continued from Page Two) We've got the time to hunt them up and show them someone cares. Why, I wouldn't trade what I'm doing for all the green benches in St. Petersburg, Fla.” Do any readers know of others who are doing a good turn for humanity in retire- ment ? * * * Profitable hobbies: It’s fun to earn extra dollars in retirement whether | you need them or not. Miss Helen McIntyre, 66, a retired stenographer in Houston, Texas makes handsome pictures but she’s no artist. How does she do it? First she buys tex- tile remnants printed with tasteful, colorful scenes. Then she clips out the scenes, mounts them on stiff cardboard, and frames them. She does the framing herself, having learned the tricks of the trade by spending an afternoon watching a professional frame maker. THE BEST SELLERS, she reports, are pictures made from Grandma Moses’ drapery prints. These beau- striking and unusual gifts and while Miss McIntyre works only a few hours a day at her hobby she man- ages to net about $25 a week. TE) : BARBARA R. of Des Moines, Iowa, writes: “My husband and I are in our early 30’s. We both work and have a combined income of about $6,000 a year. How much money do you think we should put aside monthly toward our retirement?” ANSWER: This depends on how much you'll need. Assuming that you want ga private income of at least $200 a month when you retire, in addition to any pension or social security’ you may be receiving, you should be saving about $1.65 a day or about $50 a month. This amount should then be invested in a sound plan, such as a retirement insur- ance program, which will pay ap- proximately $200 a month begin- ning at age 65. * * * HENRY S., 74, of Galva, Illinois writes, “Do you believe folks should move to a new community when they retire?” ANSWER: Yes, if they have few close ties in their old community, if they feel they'd enjoy a new environment, and if they have care- fully investigated their new retire- ment location well in advance of actual moving. Surveys indicate that more than a quarter of all people who retire move to a new community, and that most of these people adjust satisfactorily to their new surroundings. YES.

NOW! Air Conditioned Se Agent Explains Weeds In Lawns County Agent Has Valuable Bulletin For Home Owners Many home owners have been troubled with various types of turf weeds in their lawns, and have been inquiring at the county agent's of- fice about the use of chemical weed killers. Apparently there have been many disappointments because of improper use of those materials. The first step in the lawn weed control program should be following good cultural practices. If the lawn has not been fed, then applications of lime and fertilizer should be made, preferably a year in advance of the use of chemical weed killers. Cutting at a minimum height of one and one-half inches is import- ant. Lime, fertilizer, and high cut- ting will help build up soil fertility and strengthen and promote the spread of good grasses that are in the lawn and encourage growth of newly seeded grasses. Most broad-leaf weeds, such as plantain, buckhorn, etc., can be kill- ed with 2,4-D. Chemical weed killers can be applied almost any time from April to October, but best re- sults are usually obtained through August applications at a time when the weeds are growing vigorously. A suggested program would be, soil improvement a year in advance, use of 2,4-D in mid-August, a fer- August, and a scattering of seed the first or second week in September. Merion or Kentucky bluegrass ‘is best in the sun and chewings fescue in the shade. Such a program should cause good grasses to fill the bare spaces where weeds were killed. spring without soil improvement, those spots are re-infested with weed seeds the following fall and a year later the weed problem is as 5 a Dogs Life WHEN PUPPIES ARE EXPECTED by Bob Bartos Manager, Friskies Research Kennels There's nothing more appeal- ing than a “family” of new- born puppies, but too few dog owners have ever learned how to care for the expectant “matron.” Unless complications develop, it is quite common for the fam- ily pet to have her litter at home. Puppies can be expected about 63 days after your pet has been mated. If she has not been wormed prior to mating, Dog of the Week: COLLIE. Height: 22 to 24 inches. Rough collie: Outer coat abundant, harsh; inner coat soft, furry, close. Smooth collie: Short, dense, flat coat; abund- ant undercoat. Colors: Sable and white, black and tan with white markings, blue merle, varied. Seventh in popu- larity. she should be wormed within two to six weeks to help insure that her litter is free from this problem. As pregnancy advances, her appetite will increase until she is eating about twice her nor- mal amount. Feed her a well balanced diet such as a good commercial dog food. The amount should be reduced the last two weeks of pregnancy, She needs plenty of exercise, but jumping and strenuous run- ning should be avoided. During the last few days she may en- joy short walks, but don’t over- tire her. A few days before the puppies are due, her coat should be sponged with germicidal soap. Clip the hair around her vaginal and mammary regions and clean carefully. When labor begins, she will be restless and will quite liter- ally tear up her bed. If she is attached to you, she’ll probably appreciate your being around during the normal labor period of five or six hours. Puppies are occasionally born in a sack-like membrane which the mother will tear open with her ‘teeth. If she doesn’t, the membrane must be removed immediately, or the puppy will die from lack of oxygen. Should complications arise, such as a green discharge, or if labor is prolonged, call your veteri- narian. See that the mother and babies are warm, After whelp- ing (giving birth) give her warm milk, but no solid food for several hours. Feeding Tips: When weaning puppies, feed them a soupy mixture of a good prepared dog food, with twice as much luke- warm water as food. STATE POLICE SAY You must learn to know what to expect of other drivers with whom you share the highway. Also they must know what you intend to do. Hand signals, re- quired by law are for this pur- pose, use them. great as ever. The 2,4-D weed killer can also kill or harm other broad - leafed plants in the yard, such as shrubs and flowers, if the spray drifts over them. Choice of a calm day and care in application are two neces- sary precautions. Almost all flowers, grape vines, roses and many shrubs are susceptible to injury. Two types of chick weeds have been found in area lawns — the meadow chick weed and the mouse- eared chick weed with longer hairy leaves. Both plants are flat growing with stems creeping out from the center root and often rooting at the stem joints to make a more or less dense matted growth. Chick weeds are probably best controlled during fall or winter months any time when the temper- ature is above freezing. The sug- gested chemical control is to spray the infested lawn area when the temperature is in the 40-50 degree range during September and Octo- ber, and again during November. Use a solution of three ounces of potassium cyanate in three gallons of water to which a teaspoonful of detergent soap has been added. Three gallons will cover about a thousand square feet of lawn. Chick weed can also be sprayed with the Ester form of 2,4-D in very early spring before buds break on shrubs and trees. The Ester form usually gives a little better kill than the Amine form and it is safe to use at manufacturer’s directions at that time of year. Later when shrub and tree growth has started, the spray drift and fumes could cause injury. It is not advised to use a chemi- cal weed killer the first year on a newly seeded lawn. Very often most of the weeds that come into a new lawn are annuals and they are kept down by mowing and are killed by the first frosts.
