lone Garden Club o ffered tips on
starting seeds indoors
"There is nothing that
succeeds like success in start
ing seeds indoors, " said Pat
Pettyjohn at the March meet
ing of the lone Garden Club
held at Norma Rea's home.
The speaker stressed that
starting seeds indoors is a
valuable technique. She talked
about seeding media, flour es
cent lights and natural light
ing and the importance of
sterile mix to avoid damp
off a good mix being equal
parts of vermiculite, milled
spagnum moss and perlite, or
a package mix, or "one
steps", (small disks that ex
pand in water.)
Many containers are usable,
they require 2Vt to 3 inches of
depth and need holes in the
bottom for drainage.
Seeds should be planted 6 to
8 weeks before the last frost in
the area and moisture, tem
perature and light must be
controlled carefully. Plants
are transplanted after they
have a second set of leaves
and Vz the recommended
strength of fertilizer may be
used every 10 days after
transplanting. They should be
"hardened off" before setting
them outside after all danger
of frost has passed.'
Mrs. Pettyjohn gave each
member an individually pot
ted alpine strawberry plant as
a take-home souvenir of the
meeting.
Club members changed the
April meeting date to Wednes
day, April 19 because the Blue
Mountain District Spring
Meeting will be held in
Pendleton on April 12.
Members are planning to
hold their annual plant sale on
April 25.
The 14 club members at
tending the March meeting
followed a pioneer custom of
having a stack cake for
refreshments. Each one
brought a single layer of
unfrosted cake (many differ
ent flavors) and then the
layers were stacked together
with applesauce between
them and the stack was topped
with whipped cream and nuts.
It was explained that this
custom was popular at pioneer
weddings and that a bride's
popularity was judged by the
number of cakes stacked for
refreshments after her wedding.

Stop
Smokini
Clinic
Sunday
For anyone thinking they
are permanently stuck with
their smoking habit, think
again. An opportunity to dis
cover whether or not you can
quit will be presented in
Heppner next week.
Beginning Sunday evening,
March 26, a Five-day Stop
Smoking Clinic will be held on
.five consecutive nights at the
Heppner Junior High School,
with each session getting
underway at 7:30 p.m.
Dr. James Henneberg, who
has successfully conducted
many Five-day Plan Clinics,
will preside, assisted by Lloyd
Perrin, the local Seventh-day
Adventist pastor.
The original plan was de
veloped in 1959 by a doctor
minister team of the Seventh
day Adventist Church. It is
presented locally as a free
public service.
Films, lectures, printed ma
terials, a buddy system and
medical facts will combine
with group support to help
participants break the habit.
A daily control book gives
specific suggestions for the
first five days, believed by
experts to be the most crucial
period for the new non
smoker. Further information is
available by calling 989-8527.

Swim team needs rummage
for postponed sale
You can't have a rummage
sale without a bunch of
rummage. And because the
Heppner Swim Team hasn't
met that requirement yet,
they've decided to postpone
their rummage sale until they
do.
The event was scheduled to
take place March 31-April 1
but it is now delayed until a
later date to be announced.
Anyone with useful items to
contribute to the Swim Team's
main fund-raising drive of the
year is urged to call 676-5837 or
