By selecting your varieties you may extend the blooming season over a period of several weeks. This is espec ially true of daffadlls. In sandy loose soils bulbs may be planted a -tittle deeper than In tight clay soils.

It should be put In the soil where the Jmltos are to "be planted but must not come into contact with the bulbs^ There are many different types of narcissi -commonly call ed daffodils or jonquils. Some have small flat flowers, others have very large flowers with large yellow or white trumpets. Be sure to plant some of the "Golden Harvest" variety. It is one of the best of the early mam yellow3. "Beershe?ba" and "Jtox anne" are popular iarge whites and "Twink" is a good double flowered variety.

Some Differences In Rainwear Terms Now that the rains have finally come to many sections of a sun baked North Carolina, It may be time to start thinking in terms of raincoats, galoshes and um brellas. But shopping for new rain ap parel can be pretty confusing ? particularly if you're not exactly straight on what some of the terms mean. Water-repeiiant and water proof are two terms that are commonly used interchange ably. But State College Extension Clothing Specialist. Julia Mclver says that these are two entirely different terms and the meanings of each should be clarified. Water repellant materials are those in whi^h the yarn is coated before its is woven, making the fabric resistant to moisture. Some fabrics are permanently water repellant, others are not. When looking at water repellant garments, read the tags and learn what you can about the particular fabric before .buying. Water proof is a term referring to coating- a fabric to prevent the passage of moisture or air through it. But again it's smart for Energizing Refreshment! for tho taste thtill of a lifetime!

Big Tax Take Summer Travel Early reports of spurting gaso line consumption and mounting gas tax collections indicate sum mer travel this year will hit a new high in North Carolina and throughout the nation, T. B. Mea dows, chairman of flie North Carolina Petroleum Industries committee, said today. Eighty-seven out of every 100 vacationers will use their cars, he said, and the average trip will cover 980 miles. He predicted highway users will travel a total of 3,938,000,000 miles in North Carolina, consume about 362,500,' 000 gallons of gasoline and pay $23,625,000 in state and federal gasoline taxes during the summer season. "Summer does far more than any other season to prove Ameri ca lives on wheels," he said. "Sum mer taxes and travel may leave Mr. and Mrs. Car Owner pretty well knocked out by Labor Day, but the season's activities will mean an estimated $225,000,000 to businessmen In the state." Adding a somber note, he de cried public apathy toward traf fic deaths which he said appear to be -mounting to new highs a long with taxes. "Those who 'took it easy on the Fourth and stayed alive on the Fifth of July* had better not push their luck too far?" he warned. "Think once, think twice ? and then think again before you start to pass that 'slow poke' ahead of you. Remember, it might be you in that next grinding crash." to consult the tags carefully be fore investing. In addition to telling whether a fabric is water repellant or wa ter proof, these manufacturers' tags also offer other valuable In formation that can save the buy COMPLETING BASIC ?

DEAN BUICK W'* I~* Power Slitting now avaiUbJe on Super m well St matter -option*! M extra cot*. tt seems that owning a Buick is some | thing thai a int of iolks dream about ?plan lor?and finally do. We say that because, so many times, they say so in words like those above. Those words make us happy, of course ? happy to know we sell a car which means so much to those who own it. But they make us feel just a little bit sad as well? sad to realize all the years of fun such folks have been missing for no good reason at all. For the fact is this: If you can afford any new car, you can afford a Buick. You can afford the thrill of bossing around that big Fireball 8 Engine that purrs forth a mighty flow of power. You can afford the gas bills ? as any owner of a 1952 Buick will tell you ? because that high-compression, valve in-head marvel gets a lot of miles from a gallon of fuel. You can afford the extra luxury of a real million dollar ride? the silken smooth ness of Dynaflow Drive* ? the extra room and comfort and style that have put Buick popularity right up at die top of die list, next to the "low-priced three." So if you want to own a Buick? there's just one thing to do: and let us show you how close the figure that goes on the bill of sale comes to what you'd pay elsewhere. As we've said before, your first car can be a Buick. Why not take the Big Step right away? today?
