WmZ ? fi 5t M-. &4 nr# Care For Cut Flower* With out flowers lack of moist ure Is, of course, the main cause of wilting Flowers are thirsty! They drink through their stems and absorb humidity from the atmosphere. To satisfy cut flow ers' tremendous appetite for water, follow these suggestions: cut small pieces from each stem, at a slant, as soon as you get the flowers. If possible, let the flow ers become saturated with moist ure before arranging them in a vasfl To do this, mist the entire bunch lightly with water., and wrap the moisture-proof cello phane (the kind you use for frozen foods). Close the edges of the package. Then float it In a dish pan of warm water. The cel. lephane wllj hold the humidity in the space directly around tfle flowexs, and the entire flower is moisened thoroughly. When you are ready to arrange the flowers, be sure the vase is perfectly clean. Fill it with cool water, and use one of the inex pensive commercial preserv atives you can buy from your florist. These chemical preparat ions reduce bacterial action in the water and clips the stems every day. Give cut flowers a refresher course at night, when nobody, wHil be awake to see them any The 1952 wheat goal in the United State*, is 1,165.000,000 com pared With production of -987, 474,000 bushels in 1951.

Lightning Safety Precautions Urged When lightning strikes, be prepared, warns H. M. Ellis, in charge of agricultural engineer ing work for State College Ex tension Service. As summer storm clouds gather on hot hum id afternoons, electrical storms begin to take their annual toll. With millions of volts and thous ands of amperes spent in a fract ion of a second, lightning will destroy or damage any object which tends to resist its passage. The National Safety Council re ports that lightning kills 400 people and injures 1,000 others annually and 90 per cent of the fatalities occur in hiral areas. It is also a major cause of farm fires, destroying about $20,000, 000 worth of farm property ann ually. A system of air terminals and grounded conductors will carry lightning safely before the storm season starts, says Ellis. Proper grounding is the most likely to be neglected. It Is hidden from view and most easily overlooked. Every fastener or connector is Important, because the perform ance of the entire system is de termined by Its weakest link. When Installing a new light ning rod system, secure the cou nsel and assistance of an ex perienced lightning protection man. Get bids and deal with a well-established reputable firm. Poorly installed maintained systems lead to a sense of false protection , an become costly with a lightning loss^ way.. Move the vase to a cool room- -preferably a cool, damp section of the basement. If your whole house of apartment Is heated, remove the flowers from their vase, wrap them in cello !phane, and put the bundle in lyour refrigerator overnight. Let's clear the track! M ONOPOLY.-TYPE regulation of the railroads dates back to "'horse and buggy" diiys 'when the railroads had no competition to *peak oi 'Now the, need no longer exists. But many of- these saute 'horse and buggy" regulations still keep America's railroads in a straight jacket. Kar from being a monopoly, the railroads today face the keenest of competition from air, highway and water carriers subsidized bv lavish expendi tures of the taxpayers' dollars and encouraged afnl promoted by government agencies and regulations. Each form of transportation has its own special advantages] All are a necessary part of a strong national transportation system. But all should be regulated and taxed alike. And the users <>l each should pay the full .cost of providing the service they use. I his would be fairet to all the carriers, better for the users of their sen ices and easier en \ou as a tax payer 1 Pceii.tenc SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM WASHINGTON, D. C. I Disabled Vets' Pennons Upped Many disabled veterans will find tb .r compensation or pen sion check upped somewhat when they receive It the latter part of July. I Hie same Is true of widows I drawing compensation If the I husband also left minor chlld jren, otherwise no increase for her. All of the Increases, effect ive July 1, 1952 will be based on PL 336, 82nd Congress, passed by I both houses of Congress and signed by President Truman May I 23, 1952. The increases for veterans, ac cording to figures supplied this I paper by George C. Warllek of the Gastonia VA office, will be 1 5% for those whose disabilities rate less than 50tt%. Where the rating la 30% or more the increas es will be 15V4%. Accordingly, a I veteran rated 30% disabled, and who has been receiving $45 I monthly should find his check I the last of July to read $47*25; I likewise a 60% disabled veteran should receive $10350 instead of [$90. The new lav. explained by Mr. I Warllek, also Increases the a 1 mount to be paid to veterans re icelvlng pensions for permanent and total, nonservlce-connected dsabllltles. A veteran under 65 years of age and who has been drawing his pension less than 10 I years will get a check for $63, increase of $3, while a veteran 1 65 years and older, or one who has drawn pension 10 years or more will get $3 Increase, to $75. _ The new law does not provide Increase to widows drawing com pensation, $75 a month, but a widow with a child will have check raise of'$16 ($105 to $121). Where there are several children the new law provides Increased amounts according to number of children. However, a widow of World War 1 and 2 hertofore get ting $42 a month will get $48 under the new law. No provision for increase for dependent par ents is provided. There are in creases for eligible children of deceased veteran where the wid ow has remarried or Is deceased. Mr.. Warllek did not list all in creases but stated he will be glad to have any person who Is in terested In, and affected by the recent law. to come to his office, 205 West Main Avenue in Gasto nia, for such information as is de sired A companion law, PL 357 which was passed the same day, provides that a veteran totally and permanently disabled through nonservlce-connected dis abilities may now receive a pen sion if his income does not ex ceed $1400 a year, if without de pendents or $2700 if he has de pendent. The same new ceilings were $1000 and $2500 respective ly, a year. It was reported out by Mr. Warlick that whereas the VA will make the increases In amounts payable to veterans or the dependents without an app lication. no action will be taken in cases where pension has been denied because of -the old income! lack Matthews On Carrier "Sibeney* Jack Matthews, AK 3, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. T.
