Nov. 22. -A cold is by no means a good thing, to have. It brings on a lot of unnec essary aches and pains and there's no known cure for a cold. This is Lhe sea ^on for catching colds and a lot of people have them. Ine writer just recently got over a bout with the old cold germ but before the fight was over he felt several times as if the cold would win. Like so many more mortals, an examination by a doctor scares the dickens out of me. Upon con clusion. the medico said I was physicail fit. He looked as if this was a surprising diagnosis on his ipart He went all over me looking .or my heart but couldn't find it oecause it was in my thioat. I was actually that scared. For a couple of days my fever was so high my folks thought they would out me in the cellar to heat the house as our oil drum was kinda empty but they decided against this. The first bottle of gooey pink medicine the doc gave me was something awful. On his second visit he asked me if I was taking it regularly and I told him "No. I've tasted of it and have de cided Id rather have the cold." AdoraOie or someuung ^ word for those visitors who come m to spread sunshine. A Triend came in one morning lugging a lew magazines. Everything was jake anti! she recommended I iiot start any continued stories. In addition to aches and pains and a high lever I was bothered by a sore throat. The pill roller asked me if I'd ever tried gargling with altwnt'.r. I told nnn. 'Yts. when f nearly drowned at the beach last summer " Before he started his his physical check of me he said. I'll examine you for ten dollars." I told him :o go ahead that if he found it I d be willing to give him hall of it . There arc lots of sniffles, running noses, oleary eyes and bad colds around these parts now but I'm sure everyone will recover in due hmc. And Then the Crash Riding up a highway high, wide and handsome is thrilling and ad venturous when nothing happens but in that sudden instant when the car leaves the road or swerves madly, all the excitement vanishes. Such is the opinion of a Creed - moor senior student. Julian Mosley. who still wears a steel brace as a resmt of an accident last June 13. Julian, president of his class and of the Beta Club, had his back broken in thiee places. He contin ues to be f^harp in his studies but he nas to rest so many hours each day and the pace he now main i tains isn't as strenuous as that he's been used to. In the hospital for 16 days. Ju lian, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Mosley, lost lb pounds. He feels that he will regain this as soon as he is able to shed the steel brace. This time will soon come. He is taking only three subjects. French. English and algebra, but he will have enough requirements for graduation this year When on class, he has to have a soft pillow at his back. Mending fine, he'll be good as new in no time.

Convert Leaves )nto Compost Pi!e, Soys Garden Spec!a!ist By ROBERT SCHMIDT Now that cold weather ts ap proaching the deciduous trees (ma pies. oaks, popiars. etc.) are begin ning to tose their leaves. This presents a problem for the owner both in town and country who wants to have a neat yard or !awn. The usuai procedure is to rake up the leaves and burn them As deficient as our garden soiis are in organic matter, burning ieaves ;s wasteful. It is true, of course, that the ieaves must be removed from the lawn—especiaiiy newly planted grass—or they will smother the grass out. The wise thing to do is to rake the leaves and make a leaf com post. Pile and rot them so that they can be spread on the garden and incorporated with the soil or used as a mulch around shrubs. Leaves are difficult to rot if they are just raked up into a pile. The compost pde should be built up in layers about a foot deep. Each layer should be thoroughly wet down and a small amount of a fertilizer high ia nitrogen sprinkled over the leaves —about one cup per 10 square feet of leaf pile surface. A complete fertilizer-such as ti-8-6 rr S-8-8 can be used or sulohate of ammonia or nitrate of soda will be satisfactory. Along with the ferti lizer each layer of leaves may be covered with about an inch of gar den soil. The fertilizer and garden soil serve as rotting agents. When the pile of leaves has been built up to the desired height — usually about 5 feet—it is covered with a thin layer of soil and allowed to stand for 3 to 12 months During* this time it must be kept wet The result will oe a thoroughly rotted mass of ieaves which we call leaf mold. This is not a fertilizer like stable manure but is an excellent sod conditioner and a valuable supple ment to most garden soils Leaf mold i.s usually very acid in reac tion and unless you are using it around acid loving plants sueh as azaleas, lime should be added. On large lawns leaf raking Is a tedious chore. For those wl.o can ifford it there ts avsrlabic a ma chine which picks up the leaves, grinds them up into fine particles and spreads them back over the grass in a form tlrat will be bene ficial rather than harmful. Per haps that is the best solution to your problem. FFLtNf FAC7*S (From The Reader's Digest) A cat helped build the Grand Coulee Dam by carrying a string tied to its tail through a winding ! drain pipe. The string, was tied to a rope and the rope to a cable which jthe engtneers had been unable, to . get through the pipe. A sm prlsingly large number" of cats received cit^ions of merit and the freedom of such ports as New York. Boston and Baltimore, during the var. for their wot^c In cleaning UP rats and mice.
