Home and Garden
When you plant a garden you
do more than set out treea,
shrubs, annuals, perennials or
bulbs. 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.
No obligation Just phone or
write,

In addition, he was well -liked
wherever he went, and frequent
ly was used as a baby sitter. 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

OREGON is a way
Dr Richard II Wilcox, state
health officer, recently estimated
that about 316,000 persons now
living In Oregon have been In
fected with tuberculosis germs
at some time In their lives.
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.
Wheeler county, with a pop
ulation currently estimated at
2.H50 covering 1,707 square miles,
has not had a reported case of
