The weather for Wednesday was
86 high and 62 low .... One of
the best boosts for a community
is to attend open receptions and
lend your greetings and presence
to newcomers. The Parent-Teach
ers Association are holding a re
ception this afternoon 4 to 6. Busi
ness men and their wives can
help show their hospitality by at
tending and greeting the old and
new teachers. It cultivates fel
lowship and friendship. We need
a lot of it in this fast moving
world with all its distractions. So

be made conscious of. Our watch

MORE AND WASTE NOTHING.
This is very practical advice;
let us get busy and apply it.
National defense, like all good
work, begins at home. At this
season we may think of produc

but in our climate this is not the
case. Our gardens are still pro
ducing both flowers and vegetables.
Flower seed are to be saved, bulbs
and tubers to be reset or separ
ated; late vegetables to be canned;
surplus fruits to be canned and
dried. Wherever there is abun
dance let us find someone who
can share it. Even dead foliage
and weeds need no ewbteatskfls
and weeds need not be wasted; in
the compost pit they become good
fertilizer.
In Polk County we have a
blessing in climate that most of
our district does not enjoy, and
winter gardening is becoming
more and mere a general prac
tice. Those of us who heard Mrs.
Quincey Powell’s report of her
winter vegetable garden, some
time ago, realized for the first
time how many can be grown
through the winter or planted
late so that they come into use
