bel on the containers of
sprays and other chemicals. !
The use of these materials is |
very common in modern’
methods and they can contri-
bute immensely to the crop
yield, if they are used prop-
erly. We urge that growers
not only read the label care-
fully but follow the direc-
tions accurately. The proper
amount and the correct tim-
ing is just as important as
the material that is being
used, There is no other way
to apply these materials but
to follow the directions on
the label. Also, it is very im-
portant to store these mater-
ials out of the reach of child-
ren and livestock. Practice
care and safety with chemic-
als as well as with equip-
ment and farm animals.
I HAD an interesting discus-
sion the other day with an
urban home owner about the
rolling of his lawn this spring;
he had asked me about the
proper time to roll his lawn
this spring; when I told him
“never” he was surprised at
the answer. In most cases this
same answer will hold true;
however, 1 recognize there
may be some exceptions.
With an established lawn I
question the merits of rolling
in the spring because of the
fact that many lawns are al-|
ready sod bound and the soil
too compact; by rolling we
make this condition even
worse. The use of an aerator
to loosen up the soil and give
more room for root growth
and water penetration will
do much more good. The best
place for a roller in lawn

WARM WEATHER usually
brings a number of calls at
our Extension Office regard-
ing the presence of termites
in buildings. At this time of
the year both termites and
winged ants swarm and will
gather near sunny windows.
The first step is to properly
identify .the insects; the wing-
ed ant will have a two-sec-
tion body with one pair of
wings larger than the other
pair; the termite will have a
one-section body and all four
wings will be the same size.
When termites are found it is
a danger signal that they are
working in the wood struc-
ture of the building; unless
eliminated they will weaken
and destroy the building ov-
er a period of years. The ter-
mites must have their nest in
soil and will travel back and
forth daily into the wooden
parts of the building. Chem-
icals are available to destroy
termite nests after they are
located. Commercial exter-

Q. My brother’s birthday is
coming up soon. He’s a fresh-
man at college, so I'd like to
send him something he can use
there. Any ideas for a slim
budget?
A. A potpourri package of
good things from home will be
sure to make a hit! Start with a
batch of his favorite cookies.
Add a box of Kleenex man-size
tissues, a packet of razor blades,
and nail clippers or pocket comb. »
If he's watching his budget too,
he'll like the current issue of
his favorite magazine. More? A
ballpoint pen or two — or a
few candy bars for late night
snacks. lhe final touch — a
long newsy letter from vou!
Q. Every time I go to a res-
taurant with a date, 1 get all
nervous and cootused when it's

concerned about his budget, ask
him to suggest something. This
should give you a good hint
about his financial state-of-the-
moment. Once you have the
price range, be prompt and defi-
nite in telling him your selec-
tion. Don’t waste precious date
time debating the menu with
yourself. Food for conversation
is much more important and
fun!
Q. I just got a new short hair
cut, and now my ears show.
Gosh, they're big! How can I
make them look smaller?
A. A little deception should do
the trick! Luckily, your ears will
look smaller when they're par-
tially hidden. And it doesn't
take much hair to cover eurs so
they appear smaller. Brush a
sideburn in frout of your ears,

Manheim Borough Council
Tuesday night accepted the
resignations of Councilman
Kenneth V. Heisey and Plan-
ning Commission Vice Chair-
man Harry Earhart, both ef-
fective immediately.
Heisey elected to his first
term last November from the
Third Ward on the Democra-
tic ticket, recently moved to
the Second Ward,
His successor will be nam-
ed from among Alvin A.
Barr and Harry Moore, nom-
inated by Third Ward Demo-
cratic committeemen and
Benjamin F. Ney Sr., nomin-
ated by the ward's Republic-
an committeemen.
The majority of the present
council members are Repub-
lican.
Earhart resigned to have
more time to prepare for
graduate work he plans to do
this summer at the Universi-
ty of Illinois.
Council deferred action on
naming Heisey’s successor un-
til its members can become
more familiar with the nomi-
nees’ qualifications. Earhart’s
replacement probably will be
appointed at council’s April
18 meeting.

Cafeteria construction will
be completed by next fall
The new classrooms and ex-
panded library will be ready
for the fall of 1967.
A ‘steady growth” in dis-
trict population has brought
about the need for the new
facilities, according to Dr.
Henry G. Bucher, supervising
principal,
Enrollment in the high
school, now about 600, is ex-
pected to increase to 675 by
next fall, he said. In 10 years
it is expected to be 900.
Expansion of the library
will be accomplished by mov-
ing an existing wall 15 feet.
| This will allow an increase
lin seating from the current
180 to about 120. There will
(also be room for additional
| books.
The cafeteria capacity will
be more than doubled by the
construction.
Dr. Bucher said the type
of financing the authority de-
cides on will determine whe-
ther or not a tax increase
will be needed to pay for the
