Hapless hom em aker:
Dad's birthday a
24-hour m arathon
schedule that the Bionic Man would have to think
about At the end of the day he invariably says, "1
don’t seem to be able to do as much as I used t o ”
But he brightens when I tell him I'm worn out just
listening to all he did in one day. With his ego
rejuvenated, he jogs out the door to mow the lawn and
paint the shutters before the sun goes down
T h is summer your mother and I are going to play
tennis every morning You can’t have your old bicycle
back either. because both of us are going to start riding
bikes to work, ” he adds for emphasis
When Mom’s birthday rolls around, we kids take a
breather. All she asks for is a nde to work and dinner
out.
Dad’s favorite remonstrance to us always started
•One of these d a y s . " The rest of the rebuke was
multiple choice Phrases like after I m gone and
“ you’ll look back and see ’ filled m the blanks
depending on the situation
Of course. Dad was always right After all. he d been
living a lot longer than we had As the years went by,
though, we learned not to stress the age factor.
The big problem came on birthdays The day he
turned 50 he looked up to his four grown children and
announced. " I may be 50 years old today but I can still
handle all of you.” He meant it.
Now when birthdays come Dad takes a different
tactic The day of his birthdav he deliberately plans a

according to Joyce Kramer,

‘ It has been demonstrated
that the vaccine for hard

The nurse explained that a
new vaccine called MMR
(m easles,

and
rubella) is recommended for
children who have not
received this vaccine or the
measles vaccine since 1969

Spring blossoms
Trees need protection
in hom e building areas
Old, established trees are
being gradually killed away
by ignorance
“ In new home building
areas, the trees that make
the site so attractive are
usually damaged so badly
during the construction of
the house that their days are
numbered from the time the
first equipment moves into
the ya rd ,” said Ray Mc
Neilan. urban horticulture
extension agent
Bulldozers running over
the root area, backhoes
digging through the root
system, trucks knocking the
bark off the trunks all take
their toll.
“ Normal soil drainage and
aeration is often changed by
paving, fillin g or com
p a c tin g ," M cNeilan said.
“ Unfortunately for the tree it
is a slow death and the tree
may not finally give up until
some years following the
construction of the house.”
Oftentimes the first inkling
the home buyer has that the
valued trees are in trouble is
when they start dying limb
by limb or when the tree
simply doesn’t leaf out in the
spring By then the damage
is done and it is too late to
save the tree for anything but
firewood
“ If you are reading this
before building a home in a
grove of old trees, McNeilan
suggests you send for
bulletin No 104. “ Protecting
Shade Trees During Home
Construction".
Write to “Trees” , P.O. Box
1261, Portland. OR 97207
“ The time spent reading
this bulletin might help save
your valuable trees,” he
adds.
Spring is time for fishin'
Spring means one thing to
a dedicated fisherman - time
to remove his favorite rod
from the closet, stock up on
artificial flies, and hang up
that sign proclaiming Gone
Fishin’.’’
To encourage this time-
honored tradition, members
of the Flyfishers Club of
Oregon w ill present an
Anglers Show at the Oregon
Museum of Science and
Industry on Saturday and
Sunday, April 15-16

Northwest for any4 visitors
