Misericordia Sophomore
Wins Finnegan Award
The 1961 James A. Finnegan
Award was presented by Governor
David L. Lawrence Monday to a
Wilson College Junior, Lois Anne
Addison of Philadelphia.
Miss Addison and seven other
Pennsylvania college students were
the finalists in the annual competi-
tion to encourage college students
to become interested in active politi-
cal or governmental careers. The
Award is in memory of the late
Secretary of the Commonwealth,
James A. Finnegan, who died March
26, 1958. |
Other finalists included Michael
F. P. Bianco, of West Pittston, a
Wilkes College Junior, who is
designated First Alternate; Frances
Margaret (Nola) McFadden of Mec-
Adoo, a College Misericordia Sopho-
more, named Second Alternate; and
Deborah Wolowitz of Washington,
D. C., a Shatham College Sophomore,
winner of the Third Alternate place.
Miss McFadden also has an excel-
lent academic record and, is on the
Executive Council of the” Interna-
tional Relations Clubs and Editor of
the school newspaper.
Last year’s Award winner, Ber-
nard Kury of Sunbury, who was then
a Senior at Princeton University, is
now enrolled at the University of
Pennsylvania Law School. He used
his Award to finance a six-weeks’
internship with the Pennsylvania
| Democratic State Committee last
summer, during which time he
attended the Democratic National
Convention at Los Angeles as a page.
Mole Damage Due To
Unfrozen Ground
Mole damage in lawns is quite
extensive this spring, according to
county agent. E. V. Chadwick.
Mole damage results from the
runways created by this small
mouse-like animal as it searches for
food. The burrowing is done an
inch or two beneath the ground
surface which is indicated by ridges
| of raised soil or turf.
The winter snow cover allowed
the ground to remain unfrozen. Like
a submarine under water, the mole
continued his work unnoticed,
| until the snow exposed the ridges.
| Moles are difficult to eliminate by
| trapping.
The real reason for the ‘mole being
where he is, is the source of food
in the form of soil insects such as
grubs. Eliminating the food source
i will often eliminate the mole,
| Insecticides can be applied to the
|lawn and garden any/ time before
| May 1, and will offer protection for
' 3 to 5 years. It will usually require
| 3 to 10 weeks for the materials to be
| effective.
| Four effective materials are Adrin,
| Chlordane, Dieldrin and Heptachlor.
| The latter material can be used on
| lawns and flower beds, but not on
| vegetable gardens.
Flock Of Red Crossbills
| A flock of red crossbills, feeding
| on hemlock trees, have been sighted
| at the home of Mrs. Chester Nesbitt
in Shavertown. Among them was
one solitary white crossbill.

Egg Supplies Large
And Prices Favorable
Eggs are an especially good buy
during March, designated as Na-
tional Egg Month. Supplies are large
and egg prices are favorable, points
out Mrs. Ruth Darbie, extension
home economist, Luzerne county.
Although eggs are an excellent
buy, they are too valuable to waste
through poor handling and storage.
Keep eggs clean, cool, and covered
during storage, and buy from a
market where eggs are kept in a
refrigerated case. [Eggs lose quality
quickly at room temperatures, losing
as much quality in two or three days
as they do during several weeks of
proper refrigeration.
Occasionally a person finds an egg
with a blood spot on the yolk. Every
effort is made in grading to remove
such eggs, but one slips through
now and then. A blood spot does
not effect the wholesomeness of the
egg, but it is undesirable from an
appearance standpoint. Rather than
throw the egg away, remove the
blood spot with a fork or spoon.
Shell color does not affect the
flayor, nutritive value, or cooking
performance of eggs. Neither is
shell color a guide to yolk color.
Deep yellow yolks are an indication
of the type of feed laying hens eat.
For example, hens that eat grass or
have a lot of corn in the diet will
produce deep colored yolks whether
they lay white or brown shell eggs.
There is no advantge to pay more
for white or brown shell eggs of the
same quality grade and size.
Parents Role Is To
Understand Child
Children need parents who wish to
understand and guide rather than
dominate them, cbserves Mrs. Ruth
Darbie, extension home economist,
Luzerne county. A child is neither
fundamentally bad nor good, but he
may be molded into either.
Too often parents feel their child
is determined to do everything he
can to displease them. This attitude
sets parents and child against each
other. When a parent determines
to force a child to comply, he tends
to: overlook the child’s needs and
abilities. . The child feels this is a
tough old world and he must fight
to protect himself.
Mrs. Darbie says, if parents and
children work together as partners,
the results will be more pleasant
and longer lasting. There is much
for children to learn, and the patient |
guidance understanding parent is |
most helpful. One of the greatest
needs of children is to learn to live
in the world as it is.
Parents should be firm. Consistent |
discipline gives the child a feeling |
of security; laxness and a do-nothing
attitude confuse the child.
Laundry Cart
Has Many Uses
A wheeled laundry cart has many
uses, observes Mrs. Ruth Darbie, ex-
tension home economist, Luzerne
County. The cart may carry soiled |
clothes to the washing area, carry |
washed clothes to the line or dryer, |
and carry clean clothes to their
storage place.
f
Since the plastic or muslin basket |
liner in the cart is easy to remove |
and easy to clean, the laundry cart
may be usefull in other ways, too.
Mrs. Darbie, suggests using the
laundry cart when collecting clothes |
for the end-of-season trip to the
drycleaners. Roll the cart from room
to room and put in things that need |
cleaning. Then roll cart to the car,
put the basket inside, and remove
basket at the cleaners.
Some homemakers use their
wheeled laundry cart to hold bulky
needlecraft projects. For example,
the materials for braiding a rug are |
awkard to handle. The cart basket |
is big enough to hold many rolls of
fabric strips )» plus the partially
braided rug. Or the cart may be
used for storing a knitted or cro-
cheted afghan. When the home-
maker wishes to werk on her needle-
craft, she can roll the cart to her |
work area.
It Pays To Advertise
A nice little dog, advertised last
week in the Dallas Post, by Mrs.
Frank Townend, has found a good
home up in Mountain-Top, a friend |
of a friend seeing the classified ad
and passing on the news. !
Since 1950, U. S. retailers have
greatly increased their dollar ex-
penditures for newspaper adver- |
tising. Sporting goods dealers for |
instance, have upped their invest- |
ments a healthy 97 per cent; build- |
ing supply dealers, 78 per cent,
/
Chester, common ending for Eng-
lish town names, comes from the
Roman word caster meaning camp,
since many were originally Roman |
camp sites.
