For Grannie remembers all too well the drudgery of filling the coal bucket, hauling the ashes from the stove, emptying the water pan under the ice box and of having only as much hot water availableas she could heat in kettles on top of the stove.

Long SWEET VALLEY | 477-2211 | The - culture of African violets took the country by storm thirty years ago, and prize plants at that time brought fantastic prices. Many people hesitated to start the culture of violets, believing that it was too arduous a task to pamper the ex- otic blooms. Full Housepower Gives: Electric Traffic Control Room arrangement for the smooth flow of “people traffic” is something most families keep in mind when looking at a new home. The smooth flow of “electrical traf- fic” through a house is equally im- portant if a family is to enjoy all the comfort and convenience offered by modern electrical living in a new home. Full Housepower, one of the es- sential requirements of total electric Gold Medallion Homes, is your way of knowing that the “electrical traffic” flow will be smooth, steady and secure. It is a buyer’s assur- ance that the wiring system for the home is designed to provide ample electrical capacity now inthe future. The high standards of wiring ef- ficiency to meet the Full House- power rating for Medallion homes include: 1. The electric Service Entrance equipment must be rated not less than 100 amperes — often 150 to 200 amperes. 2. Wiresizes are carefully checked ~ to provide ample capacity for each circuit. 3. Individual branch circuits of specified ratings are installed for individual major appliances in the kitchen and laundry as well as for the heating, cooling and ventilating equipment throughout the house. -— = HE DALLAS POST — THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1964 Electricity Powered Program Women Devote Much Time Changes Grandma’ s Kitchen To Raising African Violets Since that time, many people have found that growing violets is a great pleasure, and that it is reasonably profitable. Mrs. John Garbutt, Dallas, has over 100 choice varieties, some of them unique. One in particular, shows thirteen pink blossoms, each bloom at least an inch and a half across. She calls it “Isle of Dreams.” Some of her plants show purple flowers bordered with green; some are pink with green; and there are pure red blooms, as well as the usual purple, blue and pink stan- dard varieties. Mrs. Garbutt started culturing violets twenty years ago, obtaining leaves from friends, and raising small plants. As her interest grew, she tried to develop new varieties by setting flowering plants outside, where they could be pollenated by bees. The resultant seeds, she dis- covered, did not produce good plants, so she reverted to rooting leaves. She is ruthless about jettisoning any plant which does not come up to her rigid standards of excellence. She is a perfectionist when it comes to African violets. Another area resident, Mrs. Dana Crump, Yeager Avenue, is now readying her African violets forthe Library Auction, separating the clumps and bedding them in small pots. Mrs. Crump says you cannot ex- pect good results from dividing Mrs. Crump says you cannot ex- pect good results from dividing clumps and re-potting, unless you bake the potting earth to kill di- sease germs, and bake and scrub the pots thoroughly. It is a messy job, she says, but well worth it. \ Grannie is thoroughly enjoying herself today living — and watching: her children and grandchildren live —in a modern electric kitchen. For electric kitchens are forliving. Elec- tricity has taken, the drudgery out and left the kind of room that the whole family can share and enjoy. Mom has plenty of light while she plans the meals that she will cook on her automatic electric range. Dad tosses a salad and Junior helps himself to a cold juicy apple from the roomy electric refrigerator- freezer. There’s no heating water on the range for dish-washing, either. The electric water heater will furnish all that they wantwhen they" want it. And their modern electric dishwasher will even do the dishes for them. As she enjoys today’s modern electric living, Grandma occasion- ally feels obligated totalk about the good old days-—after all Grand- mas are supposed to. But her heart isn’t in it. For deep down inside Grandma knows that the good old days are really now. Lawns . . . Fruit Trees . ” We Specialize IN COMPLETE LANDSCAPE SERVICE Shrubbery . . .

However, she won a chorus job in a road com- pany production of ‘‘Rio Rita.” Later, she tried modeling. Mag- azine and billboard advertisements attracted Eddie Cantor’s attention and he gave Miss Ball her first Hollywood role in his “Roman Scandals.” As time went on, she won an RKO contract and a sub- stantial role in ‘“Roberta.”” A musi- cal on Broadway pictures in Holly- wood followed. After her marriage to Dezi Arnaz, Miss Ball continued in films and starred in the popular radio show, “My Favorite Husband.” MGM had, meantime, bought her con- tract from RKO.
