Fall Color Parade Will Begin In Mid-October A full-drew parade of color will march down the Blue Ridge Park way from now to mid-October. Parkway Superintendent Sam P. Wee mi, In Roanoke laid this week the color array should be one of the best lu several year*. "We had a vfry good growth year this year and there are more Strictly From Funsville! leaves than we normally have," Supt. Weems aald. "If we have a normal fall season, the color should' be better this year." Mr. Weema aald the dogwood, maple and aourwood treea in the higher elevatlona are already hanging ahadea and "from now on, the colore will change rapidly and hit a color peak about October 18." Weema gave thia description: "In early October, the birches become aolld maaaes of yellow. "Buckeye, beech, and chestnut oak then add their shades of yel low on the higher ridges. Tulip tree turns a rich gold; aasaafras, a warm orange. "The bright red berries of the mountain-aah become conapicious, while the hickories have a leathery aheen, and the red maple is every where. "The oaks add a touch of acar let." . ' ? 'l When planning any teen-ager party one major decision pertains to food. There are three musts about party food. It moat taste terrific, it must have a party look" (though a aasual one) and it must riHiuira practically no clean-up chorea once the food itaeU has vanished. So hare's an answer covering all the above. Directions an for two couples, with a spare Submarine to be divided among those with hollow legs. If inviting mora couples, multiply aooord ingly. Submarine Specials Cut Ave small loaves of Italian bread in half, lengthwise. Ia layers on brand arrange slices of aalami, bologna and Ameri can cheese and rings of Bermuda onion. Combine '/, cup real mayonnaiae and Vi cup of tomato ketchup or chili sauce. Spoon sauce over filling. Cut each Submarine into thirds and serve on aluminum fou. As to ice cream, it's usually wise to figure on at least a quart for four people, particularly when two are hungry males.

About Your Home There are very few kinds of houMt plant* that can be grown successfully in the unfavorable in door climate which invariably ?pells doom to almost every green growing thing. Make a list of the plants you have been able to fro w successfully in the house. You will probably list philodendron, grape ivy and aspidistra. Bromeliads can be the answer to your quest for house plants which lead a simple domestic life without too much care and atten tion. The newly popular plants not only endure indoor heat but thrive on it. Watering is no problem since many members of this group have vase-like centers which, when fill ed with water, will last plant* for days Frequent repotting is no prob lem since once set in a suitable potting mixture, plants stay hap py and healthy for a year or more. Perhaps the most important sin gle ability of bromeliads is that they can thrive under average light conditions. The window with out sun is ideal, or almost any extreme from artificial light to sun filtered through glass curtains will be satisfactory. All bromeliads are similar in form. They are like a fountain of broad leaves sprouting from the base. The leaf color runs from deep white to rich moss-green to the delicate tints of rose and leafy green growth. The leaf is seldom a solid tone. One color flows into another, and each plant is differ ent. The colors change from season to season. There are at least four teen different types. The soil should drain well and contain a good deal of sand. Feed ing Is done infrequently and too much water means death to these plants. They should not be planted In the same box or pot with philo dendron or grape-ivy as both of these plants require more food and water than bromeliads can stand. The vase and fountain silhou ette, of these plants lend them selves to any background. The col or range is so most any interior deaoration color scheme can be met. There are types? low grow ing ? that are perfect for coffee tables or any spot where they will be viewed from above. The United States is expected to resume underground nuclear test ing in about a week. Representative Holifield (D., Cal.), chairman of the Senate Hou: e group, said that the atomic energy and Defense Department experts are "working night and day" to get the tests under way. The first tests are expected to be of relatively low yield. V. L Moretz & Son "WtUufa'i Oldest Lumber Yard" DEEP GAP, N.
