Can t lose weight? Con
sider the case of Paul M.
Kimmelman of Pittsburgh.
On Dec. 25, 1966, he
weighed 487 pounds. He
went on a crash diet of 300
to-600 calories a day. By
August 1967, he had
slimmed down to 130
pounds — ? total loss of 357
pounds. He later stabilized
his weight at 175 pounds.

Ron Hunt, infielder who
played fot various teams in
the National League between
1963-74, led the league in
getting hit by pitched balls
seven years in a row. During
his major league career, he
was hit 243 times —also a
record of sorts.
Then there's the baseball
that couldn't stop time — or
at least a Timex. Billy Dicks
of East Islip, N.Y. was at
bat. The "pitcher" was a
pitching machine, tossing
balls at him at 85 miles per
hour. A ball went wild, hit
his Timex, which was
thrown out of the band and
into the next batting cage,
where balls continued to
pelt it. When it was all over
and the Timex was retrieved.
it was still ticking away,
keeping perfect time.
According to astrono
mers, as the sun's heat is

earth. But dont get in a

posed to happen for about

Some things thought of
as small can actually grow
to tremendous size. A
lemon picked from a tree
in California weighed six
pounds, four ounces, and
measured 28 3/4 inches in
circumference. A three
pound, 11-ounce orange was
grown in Arizona. And a
peanut grown on a farm in
North Carolina was three
and a half inches long when
it was finally picked from
a vine.

Makes Difference
In Peat Moss
Most home gardeners
have used peat "moss,"
but probably few realize
that there are differences
in the physical and
chemical characteristics
of peat.
The differences depend
on the kind of plants from
which the peat originat
ed, explain North Caro
lina State University
extension specialists.
Peat is formed by the
laying down of successive
generations of plants
under water. In the
absence of air, these
plants decompose slowly.
Generally speaking,
there are four major
plant groups: the sphag
num group, composed of
various herbaceous
plants, and possessing a
strong acid reaction; the
hypnum group, associat
ed with the mosses,
sedges and other flower
ing plants, and slightly al
kaline in reaction; the
reedsedge group, formed
by sedges, cattails and
grasses; and the shrub
and tree group, formed
from blueberries, alder
and willow.
This last group yields a
peat that lacks uniform
ity, because of the
coarser material content
such as decaying bark,
twigs and branches.
The peat you buy is, for
the most part, imported
from Germany or Canada
and is formed by the
decomposition of the
sphagnum group. It has
an acid reaction and a
nitrogen content ranging
from 1 to 3 percent. It is
low in both phosophorous
and potash and is
relatively free of weed
seed and fungi.
Peat has many uses,
such as increasing the
water-holding capacity of
sandy soils and providing
improved aeration in
closure textured soils. It
is used frequently in
growing plants that pre
fer acid soils, such as
azaleas. Nurserymen and
florists use it for seed
germination, rooting cut
tings and in preparation
of soil mixtures for
potting plants.
Mold thrives on cheese
- even on those you don't
like moldy. To prevent
mold, wrap cheese in a
cloth dampened with salt
water before refrigerat
ing.

GRANNY SAYS,
"ITS TOO DARN
HOT TO COOK'.'
This is no time to be
slaving over a hot stove. Not
only is it hard on you, but
it heats up your kitchen to a
fare thee well. And if you
have an air conditioner,
it makes it work harder and
longer.
On days like this, me
and grandpa either cook out on the grill, or eat cold cuts with
a big green salad. And when the grandchildren visit, we have
a picnic in the backyard.
When you make things easier on yourself, everybody
seems to have more fun. And there's no doubt that you cut
down on your electric bill. fWtti
