Background Told Downtown Apt. In keeping w ith P ilo t’s policy of inform ing the reading public as to th e background and qualification* of the candidates for various local and county offices, today’s issue will acquaint you w ith Fred W Flynn, dem ocratic nom inee for th e office of County Commis sioner. Fred W. Flynn was born in Lynn, M assachusetts 43 years ago. w here he attended th e local pub FO R R EN T Couple or Bachelor Pi IONE <2252 MANLEY BUILDING B ro o k in g s, O regon lie schools and was an honor grad uate from the Lynn English high school in 1930. Early in the 1933 he left the depression-nddied East and came to H arbor, w here he worked most of the year on a mink ranch on Benham Lane. In 1934 he enrolled in the CCC camp at Pistol River, gaining his first experience in road building under the direction of Fred G ardner, who was then in charge of con struction. Flynn drove one of the first trucks to the W ildhorse P ra i rie Lookout. A fter a couple of years as a salesm an in San F ra n cisco and the Sacram ento valley, Flynn retu rn ed , to H arbor, and was one of the first haif-dozen persons to plant Croft lilies, one of the m ajor sources of income in this area today. During this tim e he also worked on the construe tion of the Forest S ervice’s nar row gauge road to Vulcan Peak and O ’Brien, and also assisted in the m aintenance of Forest Service roads in the Chetco district. Fred W Flynn was elected to four term s as president of the Croft Lily G row ers Association, only leaving th at post in 1945 due to a serious bout w ith TB, which kept him inactive for about eight years. U nder F lynn's leadership the Croft Lily G row ers Associa tion grew into a strong organiza tion of grow ers intensely in teres’ td in an improved quality of pro duct necessary to m aintain th Brookings-H arbor reputation foi first quality bulbs. Flynn is m arried, and w ith his wife, Dorothy, and tw o sons, lives on Dodge A venue in Brookings He is a m em ber of the Brookings lodge of Elks, and a M aster Mason of the Gold Beach Lodge No. 199. A. F. & A. M. Flynn has been in terested in various real estate holding in the Brookings area since 1940, and at one tim e w as a w orking shareholder in the Brook ings Plywood Corp. Flynn is well acquainted w ith the problem s con nected w ith county roads, having w orked a year or m ore on the m aintenance crew in the south end of the county. P ru n in g S e a so n N ear It’s getting that tim e of the year w hen gardeners th in k about "cutting back th e ir shrubs. T aking into account only tw o of our p re t ties — hydrangeas and roses — \ *1« «tit these snould not be puned until ALL the leaves are fallen. The plant is then in full dorm ancy. W ith hydrangeas, cut all dead canes clear back to the base of th e plant. For canes which have bloomed the past season, cut them back to about two or th ree nodes above the ground. The nodes are are the swollen appearing rings— or almost rings—about the stem. The tips of the new canes formed last sum m er should be the ones to bloom this coming season. If th ere are too m any skinny ones (resulting from previous lack of pruning) thin them out to maybe half. These w ill m ake you bigger and b etter blooms on those re maining. G etting back to the cane, you cut back to two or three nodes— these should make lux irient growth of a new cane on either side of the node and these will grow on to form flow er beds for th e following year’s blooms. W ith your roses, when th ey ’ve shed all th e ir ‘foliage and gone to sleep, sneak up on them and lop off everything that stick a foot above ground. Here again you m ay be governed by the nodes. Leave at least one on the stem. Of course, all the old w ood—the old. dead, scraw ny wood, should be cut clear back. Then in the spring, supposing you feed them heavy, you'll almost be able to see the shoots grow, each v th a : term inal bud and the result will be fat ones on tne tips on long stems. This advice, ot cours -, ap plies especially to the tea or shrub roses. For the cum bers, heavy pruning, w ithin reason, and la ter care, will assuie luxur- ient growth, longer stem s and larger buds and blooms. Fundam entally, the above pro cesses upset th e balance between th at p art of the plant above ground and th at beneath. Below ground th ere are sometimes many miles of tiny feeder roots hauling in an abundance of grub, dem and ing above surface grow th for its digestion—leaves are the lungs ol a p lan t—and the ultim ate repro ductive of all biological plant or anim al species.

They consider him a mere exhibitionist- crazy for headlines, no matter how ridiculous he makes himself to get them. No wonder the tuiacoat Senator confessed sadly on the Senate floor: “f am not very good at influence." (Congressional Record, July 2, 1952) N o wonder Morse remarked: "When 1 get 31 votes in the Senate on something, 1 have had a heyday. . . So said Morse before the House Judiciary Subcom mittee on May 16, 1955. (It takes at least 49 votes to pass a bill when all senators vote.) Is this the kind of man you want to represent you?
