This Week With Macon County Agents By IU. JESSIE D. CAM (Assistant Agent) Harvest can be the theme for your Thanksgiving table cen terpieces. A cornucopia filled with fruits and colorful vegetables, such as edible radishes or onions, or merely decorative vegetables or flowers, Is an attractive deco ration for the center of the table, especially when arranged between tall candlesticks. Color ful gourds and fall flowers ar ranged on a polished wood slab or a section of driftwood can be very unusual and attractive. (Driftwood may be kept perm antly by boiling, rubbing with steel wool and waxing.) Gourd colors repeated in dinnerware and tablecloths add much to the setting. Dried vegetables, fruits and leaves are being attractively ar ranged, not only as center pieces for informal tables, but as spots of color in halls and living rooms. Vegetables are peculiarly suited to the dining room table. Apple twigs, fungus, and dried okra give a unique pattern for hall-table arrangements. Use your needlepoint holders for the upright matwial. If you like something very simple try egg plant, grapes, and lemons clus tered around the base of a graceful bare branch. Garden or field corn, mushrooms, odd shaped squash, the center of a sunflower, or what have you, make a very colorful group. Thanksgiving Is also a won derful time to use some of your dried flowers. Arrange the flow ers to stay in permanently by anchoring them in modeling clay. Metal and pottery con tainers are best for these ar rangements. Wood or metal trays, reed or bamboo mats and heavy bowls are also good for your fall and winter arrange ments. Variety in style and color is limited only by your imagina tion. Why not try using Just what you have? No. 1 Robert E. Early, all of High lands. and Lake V. Shop*. James Hauser, Dr. A. Rufua Morgan, the Rev. C. E. Murray, and the Rev. M. W.

Also for the lovely floral offerings. Joe McGaha Sweet Aqua Dreams So quiet you can aleep at full throttle! While not recommended practice, that is the claim made for the revolutionary "truly quiet" out board motor shown here with Geor gia Landt-au in the sleeping: beauty role. The 5^4 horsepower unit result ing from years of Johnson research runs with a gentle purr that per mits normal conversation and com pletely satisfactory portable radio reception at full throttle. The new power plant utilizes in take mufflers and underwater ex haust systems which control consid erable noise, but it's an entirely new principle, discovered in war time research for the military, that really does the trick. Through an ingenious suspension drive system, the motor is insulated from the boat, and vibrations that formerly were converted to unpleas ant noise by the boat acting as a sounding board, are dissipated into thin (and quiet) air.
