': ' iK J- Way Explained to Keep Poinsettia 2nd Season It'a that time of year when the usual question about the poinsettia is asked: "Can I keep it to bloom again?" The answer is yes. In fact, you can even multi ply your poinsettia and have more plants next Christmas. This can be done by rooting cuttings. Henry J. Smith, exten sion . landscape horticul turist at North Carolina State University, explains that the poinsettia is a once - a - year flowering plant that blooms only during the short days and long nights of winter. Blooming can be con trolled by controlling the amount of light and dark ness to which the plant is exposed. Poinsettias bloom with 10 hours of light per 24 hours. It can be prevented from blooming by length ening the short days of December, for example, to 15 hours by means of ar tificial light But let's assume you have allowed your poin settia to bloom normally this year and wish to keep it to bloom again next Christmas. Smith suggests the following care of the plant: After the colorful bracts (flowers) have fallen or faded, place the plant in the basement or some dry place where it will not freeze. Don't water the plant, and if you do, use only a small amount Next May, bring the plant out cut the stems back to remove about two thirds, wash the old soil from roots and repot, in new potting soil. From then on, handle as any other pot plant that spends its summer on the patio or porch. When you bring the poinsettia into the house next fall, remember that it should not be placed where it will be exposed to artificial light at night after late October. Rooting poinsettia: Take cuttings of the softwood about five to six inches long In July and root in a good potting soil. A mix ture of equal parts sandy loam soil, clay loam and well-rotted stable manure, if available. If the manure isn't available, use well composted leafmold. Keep this in mind: Poinsettia is not an ideal house plant but it's worth all the problems of grow ing. Water regularly, al low it to have maximum daylight and sunshine and try to keep it in tempera tures of 70 to 72 degrees and not below 60.

Vhitaore, Home Economist GREENSBORO - A&T State University co-ed Wilma F. Slade, wants it known that she is no women's libber or anything like that. "I'm still old fashioned, and I still like doors opened for me," she says. But in a male-dominated program at the university, the Air Force ROTC detachment, she has become the first female group commander. "I don't think I have created any special problems," said Miss Slade in a recent in terview. "We have a large number of females in the pro gram now at A&T, and I'm sure they are going to have moje women comman ders." . A native of tiny Rober sonville, she grew up in a large family on a farm and she never really wanted to come to college. . But in this case, college was a route to excelling in military science,, which she fell in love with while in high school. "Recruiters once came to our school," she said, "and joining the service was an idea which stuck with me." After graduation, she did join up and became an ad ministrative specialist in the Air Force. It was there she met Col. David McElveen, an A&T graduate who encouraged her to go to college. - She entered A&T in 1973, and although she . could have been exempt from the first two years of the basic pro gram because, of her military service, she-decided to take the whole fourMars. Miss Slade said she has been very well accepted by the male cadejsln her unit. "Shlpt chosen not just because e5is a female, but because we felt that she could NON-PUBLIC SCHOOLS Enrollment in North Caro lina's 284 non-public schools showed an. increase of some 600 students during the 1975-76 school year, bringing the total to 54,200.

FOOD-WISE SHOPPING IN 1977 New Year's Resolutions have not become extinct. Many still take time to analyze personal practices and make plans for starting new ones with the beginning of a brand new year. If one of yours is to improve your shopping skills in Jhe effort to stretch the family food dollar, it will be wise to keep the follow ing tips in mind. It you want to cut the cost ot your grocery bill, the first step is to know how much you actually spend per week for food. If you do not , you may do well to keep records, for a few months to find, out. After you know the amount you spend at the grocery ;store; take a closer look at your spending patterns.' Do you take advantage of special sales? Do you compare brands? Do you buy meat and produce on a cost-per-serving basis? Do you match quality to use? . Are you a food ad-watcher? Food ads save time, give in formation, announce foods in the market, and can lead, to a siz able savings in your food budget. Food ads often tell what foods are in season or in plentiful supply. They are a clue to 'specials.' Many people think a special is always a bargain, but this is not true. To determine the value of a special, you need to know the usual price, the quality, the brand name and then interpret all of these in terms of how you are going to use the item. For example, poor quality apples at a price of ten cents a pound could result in a cost of twenty cents a pound, if half the apples are discarded as unusable. However, if you are going to use tomato sauce on a meat loaf, lower quality tomatoes or tomato sauce would be fine. But top-quality or whole-peeled tomatoes would be best for stewed tomatoes or other dishes where appearance is important. To gain customers, food retailers often have specials. They reduce prices on those foods that are in abundant supply and they sometimes offer special bargains on other foods as well. Meat, poultry and fish are among the most popular store specials, with price reductions sometimes, as high as twenty per cent. Also, many supermarket chains and independent re tailers offer foods that carry a store brand in competition with nationally advertised brands. Often you can save money by buy ing these store brands and at no sacrifice in quality. Many times, store brands are packed by the same food packers that put up national brand products. Studies show that families can save ten to fifteen per cent of their food bill if they pay attention to specials and food prices. However, there is a caution. You should avoid excessftra impulse buying, but you should also be ready to snap up a bar gain when you see it. Being an ad-watcher can help alert you to changes in prices and to bargains that really are bargains. mi cor.:?A3: o QWityo (c$r o Onsets GHho red thing. DURHAM COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO.
