This interesting and truthful ob

friend Dr. R. Milton Carleton of
rliirnon in the Annuel icon nf

Carlcton's interest, probably,
nurseries Now
Big Business
The nursery industry, slowly but
Surely, is becoming "big business"
svilh modern business methods as
sveli as advanced nursery pro-
tedures, to bring to the purchaser
he finest quality of merchandise
tit reasonable prices.
This advancement in the nursery
ndustry is the result of coopera
ive efforts and combined capital
to develop better research, better
fetorage, better handling and bet-
aer distribution of nursery prod
ucts. .uons, too, nave ucen suc
cessful in eliminating the un
iscrupulous or fraudulent dealer
;and to inspect advertising for ac
curacy of description, fairness of
i price, and so on.
The average nursery that grows,
stores, ships and advertises and
sells as father used to do is doom
ed for extinction. The process is
J inevitable that nursery items will
I become standardized and quality
J will be associated with standard
brands the same as in any other
merchandising field.
I The American nurserymen
I through their association, the
American Association of Nursery
men, and their affiliates, are to
be warmly commended for their
effective efforts to improve the
nursery business and eliminate
t such things as fraudulent or mis-
leading advertising, to sot up
i standard descriptions of materials
. advertised and to strengthen state
t and local regulations regarding
the handling and distribution of
f nursery products.
This docs not mean the elimina
tion of the specialist. He will still
sell what, the larger merchandis
ers do not. His will be specialized
. known how and top quality in a
limited field.' His prices will be
high;i comparatively) for he will
serve the gardening elite with
material unobtainable elsewhere.
The nurserymen and seedsmen
are to be commended, loo, for
their efforts in strengthening
quarantine regulations, improving
packaging and labeling of their
products.
stemmed from his acquaintance
with the Morton Aborotum, near
Chicago, founded by Julius Sterling
Morton, the father of Arbor Day.
He notes, too, the lack of observ
ance of this idea, Hence tils article.
We are certainly whole-heartedly
in agreement with Dr. Carlcton's
sentiments, particularly in view of
the destruction of many fine tress
in this area in the last few months
under the excuse of civic progress.
Carleton states that unlike a
building which can be erected at
a momen'ts notice out of materials
assembled at will, maturity and
stature in a tree comes only after
years of growing. Thus, by plant
ing trees today your children and
your children's children will be
able to walk down tree lined
streets tomorrow.
His contention is one that should
make ' many of those willing to
sacrifice trees that have taken
years to reach their present stat
ure, because of civic development
or expansion, stop and think long
before removing trees without due
consideration being given to re
placement, ' .
Trees, in the Pacific Northwest,
are are greatest heritage and we
should look upon them with rev
erence. '
Any progressive city should
make plans to preserve, as much
as humanly possible, the natural
beauty of its site. In most cases
this means a definite requirement
for the control of promiscous tree
removal with provisions for re
placement when removal is a
necessity. If we do not do this,
then, someday our cities will be
nothing but concrete canyons, hold
ing the summer heat and tunneling
the winds. When that time arrives
it will be too late to rectify a
sorry condition for trees cannot
be grown overnight.
We were pleased to note this
spring that the Portland Men's
Garden club took the initiative in
restoring Arbor Day ceremonies.
We remember, some years ago,
when school children did the tree
planting and we were among them.
Today those trees are a majestic
50 feet high and Beautiful at all
seasons of the year. It is with a
great personal pride to be able to
say "I planted that tree!"
HEATING TREND
Hot water heating systems (or
homes are gaining in popularity.
The Plumbing and Heating Indus
tries Bureau reports a gain of 13.7
per cent in the production of
boilers in the past year. Com
parative figures for cast iron low
pressure heating boilers were
223,129 for 1955 against 196,219 for
1954.
A Good Rule for Storage
A good rule to remember when
considering your storage prob
lems is that anything that . fits
through your front door can also
generally fit through your out'
side basement. entrance. The base
ment door should be wide enough
to permit bulky appliances like
food freezers to pass tnrougn.

REPAIRING DAMAGED
PLASTER
DO , , . use a commercially-
prepared patching plaster which
is mixed with water to form a
smooth paste.
DO . . . mix only as much as
you intend to use immediately.
since it sets fairly quickly.
DO . . . wet surface cracks and
small holes with clean water,
then apply the patching plaster
with a putty knife or your fingers
and smooth down the patch with
a wet cloth or sponge.
DO , . . with larger breaks, re
move all loose pieces of plaster,
undercut the edges so that they
are wider at the bottom than the
top, wet down thoroughly and,
finally, apply the patching mater
ial. . ,
DO . . . fill these larger breaks
to within one - eighth of an inch
from the surrounding surface,
allow to harden, wet down and
'apply more patching plaster to
bring to the desired level.
DON'T . . .be afraid of enlarg
ing the damaged area a bit in
order to make sure that all loose
pieces of plaster have, been re
moved before the repair is made.
DON'T . : '. make the plaster
mixture until you have completed
all the prclim.naries, otherwise it
may begin to set before you get
around to the actual application.
, DON'T . . . expect paint to cover
imperfections in your patching
job; be sure the repaired spot has
been sanded thoroughly with fine
grained paper to remove ..all
roughness.
DON'T ... forget to coat the
patch with thin shellac, glue size
or similar sealing material be

Miss Patricia Nelson like a spilled

Miss Nelson, 21, told a police
court hearing she was walking
home Monday night when a man
caught up with her, grabbed her
around the waist and threw her
to the ground.
Her screams brought help from
nearby houses. But witnesses said

One of the featured acts In the Helene Hughes Stage Revue at
the 1956 Oregon state fair will be Harry "Woo, Woo" Stevens,
comedy banjo player and singing sensation. In show business for
27 years, Stevens has won "rave1' notices from entertainment re- ,
viewers from New York to San Francisco. The star-studded '
revue will be presented at 8 p.m. every night of the state fair,
scheduled from Saturday, Sept. 1, to Saturday, Sept. 8, at Salem.
Revue at State Fair
Features More Acts
Featuring two more acts than
last year, one of the biggest Ore
gon state fair stage revues in his
tory is in prospect when the fair
opens here on Saturday, Sept. 1,
Fair Manager Leo G. Spitzbart
said today
The fair will continue through
Saturday, Sept. 8, and the revue
will be presented every night at
8 on the famous state fair stage
that rolls across the race track to
directly in front of the grand
stand. Helene Hughes, producer of
nearly 20 state fair revues, will
bring an all-new revue to the fair,
Spitzbart said. '
Every act in the revue is a vet
eran of television, motion pictures
or the nation's top supper clubs
in many cases all three, Spitzbart
said.
Emcee of the show will be Joey
Hardin, comic song and dance

For State Fair
Biggest t Exhibit List,
Baldork Freeway
Among Reasons
With ideal weather, the 1956
Oregon State fair should see the
I largest attendance ever recorded
lor a state fair here, George Mc
Murphcy, director of publicity for
the fair, told the Salem Jaycees
at their Tuesday noon meeting at
the Marion hotel. ,
Everything else .points to an at
tendance record, he said. A big
ger list of exhibits is planned, en
larged entertainment facilities
have been provided, another ex
cellent Helene Hughes stage 'show
is lined up and the popular horse
show will be back this year com
bined with a rodeo.
One major factor In looking for
bigger crowds is the Baldock free
way, McMurphcy said. Many
mora from Portland, Multnomah
county and northeast Oregon are
expected to attend the fair now
that driving time has been cut
considerably and traffic snarls
have been virtually eliminated, he
said. Many Portlanders now will
be able to travel to Salem in
about 45 minutes as compared to
the former, hour and a quarter or
more . over congested Highway
99E, he stated. .-, ... .
If there is no rain and no ex
ceptionally hot days, the cight-dny
crowd could exceed 400.000, or
more than 50,000 more than at
any previous fair, McMurphcy
predicted. , . i
man who has won favorable re
views from New . York's Palace
theater to Los Angeles' Ambassa
dor hotel. , . .
The revue's eight acts will in
clude Frank Fontaine, comic im
personator noted for his "John
L.C. Sivoncey" character on Jack
Benny shows. He has appeared
in many movies.
Another candidate lor top ap
plause at the revue is Harry
(Woo-Woo) Stevens, banjo-playing
singer and imitator who will be
making his first Oregon appear
ance despite1 27 years in show
business. His recent appearances
include a long run at the Last
Frontier hotel in Las Vegas.
The revue's two "thrill acts"
will include Lcbrac and Bcrnicc
who juggle on a gold-plated uni-
cycle. -Dancers
will include Toy

Experts Advise Investigation
O f Safety Features of Home
By VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newsfcaturcs Writer
Let the buyer beware of that
.new honeymoon cottage. It might:
contain booby traps one rbason
it is a good idea to investigate the j
safety of a home before moving'
in.
Test your fireplace by building i
a fire and placing both hands on
the outer wall of the chimney. If
it is not comfortable to the touch,
your fireplace might not be in
sulated properly.
Locate the fuse box in your
house. Mark circuits for each fuse.
Find out if the house is adequate
ly wired before you start loading
the circuits with a lot of extra
electrical appliances that will re
quire plenty of juice.
Check to see if stair treads are
secure. Remove metal edges from
cellar steps if they are the kind
that are likely to cause accidents.
Replace skiddy surfaces with
rubber treads. If cellar steps have
no hand rails have some put on at
once. It is a good idea too to
make sure the cellar light can be
switched on from upstairs. If you
can possjbly have the door open
away from rather than into the
cellar another hazard has been
overcome.
