Grandma may talk about the good old days, but a whole team of
horses couldn’t really drag her back to the kitchen (top) of 1900
B.E.P.P. (Before Electricity Powered Progress, that is.) 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.

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.

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.

Lucille Ball Marshalls
Apple Blossom Parade’
Lucille Ball, motion picture and
TV actress, voted the ** Best Comed-
ienne” of 1963 in Motion Picture
Daily’s television Top-Star poll,
will be a Marshall of the Grand
Feature parade of the Shenandoah
Apple Blossom Festival here on
Friday, May 1, at 1:30 p.m. Miss
Ball is president of Desilu Produc-
tions, Inc. She appears Monday
nights ‘over ‘CBS in “The Lucy
Show.”
The animated redhead, described
as having a knack for making
sober situations into hilarious ones,
is a native of Jamestown, N. Y.
Enrolling in a New York City
dramatic school when she was 15,
she was told that she had no future
in show business. 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.
Arnaz and Miss Ball formed Desi-
lu Productions, Inc., in 1950 to
handle their joint business ventures
and the “I Love Lucy” show fol-
lowed.
Miss Ball was divorced from Desi
Arnaz in 1960 but the two have
continued their professional rela-
tionship. The Arnaz children are
Lucie Desiree, born in 1951 and
Desi, IV, born in 1953. Miss Ball,
in November of 1961, married
comedian Gary Morton. They live
in Beverly Hills, Cal.
Upward of 200,000 persons are
expected in Winchester for the
events of the Shenandoah Apple
Blossom Festival which will be
climaxed by the Grand Feature
parade.
