Over The Back Fence
DUE TO HEAVY RAINFALL of late April, I notice very
heavy growth of some of the
cover crops that are to be
piowed down for corn or tobacco. Some of these such as
domestic ryegrass or field bromegrass will
make very hard plowing if the ground is
permitted to dry out before
addition, there is little to be gained by
permitting excess top growth; the value of
these cover crops is in the
system. We suggest that 50 to 100 pounds
of straight nitrogen fertilizer be applied
over the area followed by several heavy §
discings before plowing; this
growth with the soil and the nitrogen will

Such on-the-shelf foods
But most foods stored
on the shelf should be tightly sealed and kept in a dry place
away from light and heat.
Foods which can be kept satis-

Basic Floor Care Products:
There are two basic kinds
of floor care products—polish-
ing waxes and self-polishing
waxes Polishing waxes, eith-
er liquid or paste, must be
buffed to a shine. These prod-
ucts contain naphtha to keep
the wax soft in the can so
you can rub it on the floor in
a thin film. Liquid wax is
paste wax thinned with extra
naptha. It cleans each time
you apply it because the nap-
dried foods, such as
gelatin; puddings,
tha dissolves the old polish-
ing wax on the floor. When
you use a polishing wax —
either liquid or paste — you
never have to wash the floor
or remove the old wax. Self-
polishing waxes always
liquid — dry shiny. Easy to
apply, they don’t need buft-
"~~ hast results, apply
self-polishine wax to a clean
floor and remove the wax
completely two or three times
a year with a wax remover.

directors outlined a tentative
$1,694,297.81 budget Friday
night and told petition-bear-
ing residents that a four mill
tax increase is necessary for
the 1964-65 school term.
The budget is expected to
be adopted at the board’s
June meeting.
Members said several stud-
ies with cost-cutting goals
have been made and that the
budget has reached rock bot-
tom.
The hike in real estate tax-
ation from 42 to 46 mils was
attributed to the loss of funds
which will be felt since Man-

ships of Rapho and Penn
have voted to take the one-
half of the one per cent earn-

had gone into school coffers
previously.
Petitions carrying signa-

as a non-partisian facility of

Russell L. Dicks:
“Eternal and Everlasting God,

quietness of the evening and the deepening shadows
of the night, grant us sleep and rest.
Wi ith the still-
ing of the day’s doings, and the end of coming and go-

and tired limbs. As Thy creatures are lying down in
the wood, as the bird is quiet in its nest and the wild
thing in its hole, as the stream is still in its bed,
flecting the great expanse
re-
of stars above, may we in
our sleep reflect our confidence in Thee, and our assur-
ance of Thy constant Peace.
“In our sleep give us that deeper communion of
our souls with Thee which restoreth unto health,
His name. Amen.”

The Worry Clinic
Larry is a hardened criminal though his indulgent
mother says he is not a bad boy at heart.
But she is
very wrong. Larry is already an habitual law-breaker
for his mother has unintentionally taught him to be a
criminal ever since his birth.
Parents, re-read this case
and get hep. Bad children usually have bad parents.
CASE 01458: Larry L., aged 17, was brought before a
Chicago judge.
Meanwhile, his widowed
mother shed copious tears as
she pleaded with the judge to release her boy.
‘Larry is a good boy at

But he just got in with the wrong companions,
Your Honor, so I know he will not do it again.”
Well, that was just the bi-
ased attitude of his doting
mother. And she probably
meant what she said.
But Larry was already a
hardened criminal at the ten
der age of 17.
And his mother has been
an accessory to his delinquen-
cy for she doted on Larry and
lavished undue affection up-
on him, partly because his
father was dead.
So she failed to reprimand
him properly. And she never
spanked him or used corporal
punishment.
When Larry was a toddler,
he would take the tricycle of
other children down the
block.
