You also work with color just as the artist works with pigments or the Interior designer works with fabrics and paints. A big difference, however, Is tt at In the garden you deal w.Li living materials. Flower and fol iage colors change as plants grow, become aarKer or iignrer as the seasons advance or re cede. These colors vary In lnten sltv In brlcht sunlight or In shadow, in mist or moonlight against blue or gray sky. You, like the artist and de signer, work with colors that never stand alone. Always they exist In relationship to other colors. In gardens you not only have to consider the color re lationshlps of plants themselves, but the color of plants related to the color of house, terrace, fences, walks, walls, lawn and sky. If Its outside we'll be glad to look over your house with a pro fesslonal eye. That's our bus! ness painting and many times we can spot conditions that If taken care of now will save money later. If Its Inside here, too, we can offer our decorating experience. . . make suggestions that will add to the "llvableness" of your home. New, fresh color, properly used, is a good Investment In better, happier living. But whether it Is outside or Inside, It costs you nothing to call us in. We are always anx ious to be of service.

He also took or accompanied groups to athletic or social events. He had even been a patient In a hospital last fall. Despite the fact that x-rays were taken, his case was diagnosed as pneu monla and he was released fol lowing treatment. Health officials already have checked persons known to have been In close contact with the youth. The tuberculin skin test program Is designed to be some thing of a dragnet operation to find the unknown contacts. Health board and Tuberculosis Assn officials, who revealed de tails of the detection campaign this week, emphasized that a positive tuberculin skin test re action does not necessarily mean the person has active tubercu losis. The skin test merely shows whether a person has ever been exposed to the infection, they said. If the reaction Is positive, x-rays or other tests are used to determine if the germs have caused disease in the body also sent gifts. Mr and Mrs R L Miller of Wah. and their sister.

The Wheeler county program Is expected to show at least one of each five adults and about 1-3 per cent of children the same average found in the rest of the state have positive re- actions. Even though the positive re action does not Imply the person has the disease, Dr Wilcox said most newly-discovered cases come from this group, at a rate of about 1.7 cases per 1,000 per sons per year. Until this huge "reservoir of infection" is brought under con trol, he said, new cases will con tinue to be found. He indicated the task will take at least two generations.
