v, . ,. .. ■ .. - ' Vagabond Players Now Presenting -Comedy "Uproar In The House" ns- Playing this week at the Flat Rock Playhouse is “Uproar in the ^ Mouse” by Anthony Marriott and jpijdiatair Foot, a London comedy 9JMt which ran for years. It is a rambunctuously funny farce in .Which nothing is as it seems, and •where situations and com plications are wild and zany. Managing Director Robroy Farquhar, who has read thousands of plays, mostly cbmedies, says, "It is by far the funniest play I have ever read.” It has also been enthusiastically recommended to the Vagabond Players by many patrons who saw the London production as the funniest play they had ever seen. Nigel Pitt, a candidate for Congress, must sell a crazily designed, white elephant type of house to Colonel Horatio Cooper, a wealthy and prospective buyer. To enhance the chances of a sale, an actress is brought in to pose as Pitt’s wife and to make the place look liveable. Pitt and the girl try, but without practice they secome entangled in a web of ies. Complications pile up as the ■eal estate secretary has to be Ittssed off as a servant, the ac tress’ fiance is forced to play along, and the photographer is not the one who had been hired. > Ralph Redpath and Lynn Webster play the salesman and tne actress in this madcap comedy. The prospective buyers ale portrayed by W. C. “Mutt” Barton and Ellen Kelly. Nicki Stephens is cast as the real estate secretary and Earl Went is the tt^nce of the actress. Also cast in supporting roles ail James Rixon Hammond as the owner of the house, Donna Rawe as an office girl from the real estate agency, Kevin McKee and Dorris Teague as a young couple forced to spend the night in the house, and Joseph Conger as; the photographer. Barbara Schneider protrays a character who supplies a surprise ending to the play. Thom Molyneaux, whose directorial talents were observed iq^this summer’s distinguished production of “A Man for All Seasons,” is the director for “pfroar in the House.” The national prize-winning ‘House of the Year’ is designed and executed by Walter O’Rpurke, and Dennis Maulden is the stage manager.

Glased on the estimate that a male college graduate will, dking his lifetime, earn and pay income taxes on about a quarter of-a-million dollars more than a high school graduate—it is believed that the $29 billion cost ofthree GI Bills has been repaid many time over by the 5.9 million vgerans who trained at college level. Hints From The County Extension Chairman By . JERRY PURSER FALLGARDEN If you’re planning a fall garden now is the time to do something about it. Soon it will be October and frost and your good in tentions will have let you down. Do it now is the key for rutabaga production. It takes longer to mature rutabagas than Purple Tops so they should be seeded in early August. Don’t forget to thin them if you want to produce large roots. Also if you have a poor stand the thinned plants can be transplanted to the missing spots. Turnips - Purple Top White Globe - is still the 1 variety. Just Right is a ne „..e that looks very good. It is an ail-white type with slightly flattened roots. Just Right is very uniform in maturity. Make sure you don’t get ’em too thick. Are you going to plant fall cabbage? If so, you should seed them before August 15. Plant them directly to the garden soil. Transplanting bare-root may delay maturity by as much as 30 days. There should be little delay in maturity if the plants are grown in containers. This same information is applicable to broccoli, cauliflower and brussel1 sprouts. Don’t forget the squash, beets and carrots. A good time to plant these would be about August 15. The carrots may be better planted slightly earlier. Cucumbers can also be planted up to about August 15. Two secrets to fall gardening is to plant at a proper time and prevent insects and diseases from destroying the young plants. This means careful at tention should be given the spray program especially in selecting pest control materials. For in stance, carbaryl (Sevin) is especially toxic to certain beetles, bugs and worms but does nothing in the way of control for spider mites and aphids. Matter of fact, if Sevin is used ex tensively over a long period it may result in a population ex plosion of certain mites. So, make sure you’re using the proper material for the proper insects. The same can be said about diseases and again a proper diagnosis of te problem must be made in order to properly cope with the problem. Many problems are being asked about harvesting and storing pumpkins. Briefly the procedure is to harvest a healthy specimen and transfer it to a dry location (shed) without scrat ching or bruising the skin and thereby excluding entrance of rot-producing organisms. This is easier said than done when often the pumpkins may weigh 40 to 60 or more pounds. If you happen to skin the fruit keep it dry and the affected area will heal, hopefully without rot getting started. The foliage of pumpkins and winter squash succumb to various mildews and blight by early to mid-August. After this occurs growers may as well go ahead with the harvest since no ad ditional growth will occur in the absence of foliage. If you happen to have some late planted vines, you’d better protect them with fungicides. Late August and or September is a good time to fertilize your itrawberry row. Strawberries set their fruit buds for next spring’s crop during fall and the plants will need to be healthy and actively growing during this period. When vines are dry and spread 1 pint of 33 percent nitrogen (2 pts. of 16 percent N) per 100 foot of row over the top and brush off. When your old garden plants have finished producing get rid of them. Pull them out roots and all and burn or otherwise destroy. This will do much to reduce disease and insect pest next year. A good way to control grasses and weeds is to keep them from producing seed this summer and fall. The summer annual weeds will be actively producing seeds during August. Next spring you may have a thousand weeds where only one grew this year.
