NEVER -try to force a forzen plant back in the ground. If you do you’ll break the roots off, and then you really have damage. The additional soil or mulch material will protect the plant roots until they gradually thaw back into place. Before hard winter sets in check labels on choice things. Make sure they are secure, and the names are legible. Also for those plants that die down completely, be sure to indicate where they are plant ed by upright markers, or they could be destroyed in spring by digging. 1 have been asked repeatedly about late LAWN mowing The lawn experts say: DO NOT LET IT GO INTO WINTER OVER GROWN. OR INSECTS AND DISEASE WILL HAVE AN OPEN INVITATION. So. on a mild day (or period) give it When yon think of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S, adv. a smooth mowing, and raking, if needed. If yon planted trees and shrubs this fall of any size, better stake them to prevent blowing over. Beds, borders, or open an* cultivated areas should have hu mus worked into the soil. Nev er leave an open place smooth in winter. Rough it up to catch the rain, and to keep it from washing away good soil. In other words, “take the rain in, instead of the rain taking the soil away”. LEAF RAKING should con tinue down to the last leaf. If left on lawns, they cause un sightly dead spots. If left on plants, they smother and cause rotting. Better take a last look around. Don’t burn them. Make a compost heap, or plow them into the soil in the vegetable garden. Clean up the garden, borders and beds for neatness. But more to keep away insects that will winter over and do great damage. Wait until ground has frozen to apply heavy mulches, or mice will move in, invite moles, and then — what a mess!

The group responsible for this is the Diner’s Club and the sounds usually accompany their so-called meetings. The club has several unique features. For one. it isn’t an official club, it meets daily, and its membership require ments are very strenuous. In order to be a member one must be a senior, be a mem ber of the Coach L. Deal Me morial Hiking Association, be enrolled in physics, and eat first lunch shift. The organization has many unusual customs, one of which is the flipping of the sacred nickel to determine the head waiter who will take the trays of other members to the “al tar of cleansing." Officers of the BHS Diner’s Club are Bob Melton. High Toastmaster General; Steve Morgan, Low Toastmaster Gen eral; and Olin Redmond, Royal Sardar. three and one half feet in a pot.
