9 10 The News-Review, Roieburg, Org Thur., June 28, 1962 Simple Culture Bert For African Violets Sabs Ask Public Utility Operation Of Electric Power Plant Af Hanfcd African violets make wonderful house plants and are favorites of many. Contrary to anything you may hear about their being finicky, they thrive under simple culture. Unless you're raising a ' great many African Violets, it is easier to use the ready-mixed soil that is available at garden supply stores. However, if you prefer to start from scratch, mix equal parts of garden loam, sand and peat moss. Before using the mixture, bake it in a 180 degree oven for 30 min utes. You can use any kind of pot that has a bottom drainage hole but plastic or glazed pots are best. Unglazcd red clay pots sometimes cause trouble, especially in regions where the water is hard and be cause the salts that form on the rim may rot leaf stems resting on it. Before planting violets, clean all pots thoroughly with soap and wa ter. Put about a half-inch layer of stones in the bottom to assure good drainage. You should re-pot them at least once a year in fresh soil. Rough up the roots a little to encourage new growth. Much is said about the damage done to African "iolcts' leaves by watering the plant from above. Sun shining on a wet leaf will cause burning. African violets should not be over-watered, nor should the soil be allowed to dry out. Twice-wock ly watering is enough to keep the soil in fine condition. About every three to four weeks treat your plants to a little plant food. Use any liquid balanced fertilizer recommended for Afri can violets. Follow directions care' fully. Over-feeding may make your plants turn yellow and slop growing.- African violets need a room temperature of 70 to no more than 75 degrees during the day 60 to OS at night. Let fresh air into the room regularly, but keep the plants out of cold drafts. These plants require less light than most house plants. You'll get really fine blooms if your plants are grown in an east, south or west window where they get good amount of light plus a little direct sunlight. But don't overdo it. African violets need some time to rest every year and do very lit tle blooming in Uie summer. Con tinue to care for them as you do in other seasons hut don't feed and water them quite as heavily. There are hundreds and hundreds of African violets and new ones come along every year. Some of them have distinct personalities- others are so similar that it takes an expert to tell them apart. No matter. You will enjoy them all. Trip And Coast Visit Taken By Tiller Woman, Relatives BY MRS.

WASHINGTON (UI'D Repub lican House members from Wash ington and Oregon joined tiiis week in urging congressional support for a plan to let a public utility i group build and operate an elec- i trie generating plant using sur plus steam from the Hunford, Wash., plutonium reactor. Heps. Waller Norblad, R-Ore., Thor C. Tollefson, Tom Pelly and Jack Westland, all it-Wash., and Edwin R. Durno, H-Ore., en dorsed remarks on the House floor by Hep. Catherine May, R Wasli., in which she said the plan was a good one. Their comments came shortly before release of an Appropria tions Committee hearing record in which the plan was denounced as a giveaway and praised as a sound compromise on which the taxpayers cannot lose. According to the transcript, Rep. John It. Pillion, R-N.Y., call ed proposed charges for the sur plus steam "altogether unrealis tic" and unfair to the govern ment, which is spending about $195 million to build the plutonium plant. "It is a giveaway," Pillion told Charles D. Luce, administrator of the Bonneville Power Administra tion which would distribute the power. Luce denied Pillion's contention, arguing that steam used would otherwise be wasted as a by product heat from the plant. Luce noted that the House three times has refused to authorize use of federal funds to build a steam plant at Hanford, and that under the current plan the entire cost of about S100 million would be home by the Washington Public Power Supply System, compricing 16 Washington public utility dis tricts. The government under the plan eventually would recover the $25 million extra it is spending on the plutonium plant to ready it for possible dual purpose use. But Pillion said other plant costs also should be figured into the charges for steam. "It is not a giveaway," Luce said. "It is a use of a resource which otherwise will be wasted." I Luce said he had heard it sug gested that the utilities were going lo gel run on me ucai. However, he laid the proposed agreement is such that the gov ernment can take over the steam plant at any time by paying off the unamortized cost. Under this plan the government eventually I could take over the plant without i charge. , Although no federal funds are ! needed, Interior Secretary Stewart j L. Udall told the, appropriations ; group he would not go ahead with ) the plan unless House and Senate 1 appropriations committees a p- ' proved. ' Shortly before the hearings were i released Mrs. May told the House i the Hanford power plan is a good 'one and that Congress should give 'it its blessing. She said steam payments over 24 years could re turn as much as 5125 million to 1 the federal gocernment. Vital Statistics Divorce Suit Filed Ursula M. vs. Edward Joseph Bernoskey.
