Iduring the middl <; of June each
car. Pax-kina facilities are close
y so that tlw visitor may leave
his car and wander leisurely
through these natural rhododen
dron gardens.
Later, during the first weeks
pf July, the last of the rhododen
dron family blooms. The white to
pink bloom of the rhododendron
maximum Is not so gaudy or pro
lific as that of the purple variety,
but the plants themselves grow
into even denser masses and to
greater heights. Interesting trails
in Rocky Knob, Bluff, and
Cumberland Knob recreational
areas wind through rhododendron
tunnels where the plants form
overhead arches.
With the passing of the rhodo
dendron bloom the great spring
show is over, but the curtain
never falls on the Blue Ridge
color parade. The smaller summer
flowers soon take over, and the
parade ? holds through autumn,
closing in a blaze of fall color.
PLEASANT SURPRISE
Welborn, Kansas ? Hearing
that Glenn Masterson, 11, had
fallen into a pond twenty volun
teer fireman sped to his father's
farm with resuscitating equip
ment. The pond, nine feet deep,
balked rescue efforts by wading,
so the men made a hole In the
dam to drain the pond. As the
water flowed out, Glenn, came
trudging down the road, surpris
ed that they were looking for
him.
GET CASH AND EAT TOO
Cambridge, Mass. ? Two thieves
who broke into the Windsor

LUCKY BORROWER
New York ? When Charles J.
F. Porter borrowed $312 from
the National City Bank recently,
along with the cash he was
handed his note, "paid." The
puzzled man then learned that
the loan included the billionth
dollar loaned by the bank's 21
year-old personal loan depart
ment. and writing off the loan
was the bank's way of celebra
ting.
S^ate College Hint*
For Homemakeri
There is a simple trick to turn
inn jellied^, cranberry ' sauce, ot
any other jelly, out of a can with
out spoiling th^ shape of the
mold. Food Specialists of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
say punch a small hole in the bot
tom of the can first. Then remove
the top with an opener that
slices the tin evenly around the
can. The hole in the bottom al
lows enough air to get in at this
point so that the jelly will slide
out easily without the help of a
knife.
?
Food specialists of the U. jp.
Department of Agriculture re
port that a slice of apple m&y be
used to loosen brown sugar which
has become hard and lumpy.
Brown sugar hardens wtien al
lowed to dry out To restore the
moisture .put the sugar in a
tight container, a large glass jar
with a screw top or a metal
canister, and include a slice of
apple on a bit of waxed pafbr
so the apple does not touch the
sugar. In a few days the sufar
will absorb enough moisture to
be loose again.
To preveni brown sugar from
hardening, V"t it into a glass
I jar when the package is opened
and keep it tightly closed. Air
soon dries out the sugar if left in
? a paper package.
Maybe you brush your blank
ets to bring up the nap after
; laundering them, but try extra
brushing between lauriderings
, too. This keeps them soft and
; fluffy.
Don't be afraid to wash fluffy
bedroom slippers of pile fabrics.
( Wash them as you would fluffy
toy animals or chenille robes.
Don't wring at all, but squeeze
gently in a towel to remove
some of the moisture and bursh
up the soft nap
RESCUES OWN SON
Lakeville, Ind. ? Answering a
call for help, Mrs. James Peters
plunged fully clothed into the
chilly waters of Riddle's Lake to
rescue a child who had fallen in.
She swam out and brought the
child to the top, learning for the
first time that he was her son,
Jimmy, 4. Towing her uncon
scious son back to the shore, she
began artificial respiration. By
the time firemen and & doctor ar
rived, the boy had been revived.
