He not only has a collection of rare and valuable items, but his mind is a great storehouse of facts. Nagle is recognized national ly for his knowledge of the Niagara Frontier's history. Over a 40-year period he has collect ed some 3.700 old photographs, 1,200 original negatives, more than 5,000 original documents and many old manuscripts, pro grams, books, souvenirs and other items. Nagle left school at 13 to work. Today, because of his great knowledge of Buffalo and Niagara Frontier history, uni versity professors, researchers and others seek him out fo authoritative information. One of the Buffalo natives favorite methods of digging up information in the old days was to work out deals with butlers of wealthy families who often got the job of cleaning out at tics while the families wert away. 'I'd slip the butler $10 to save out old documents, books and letters." said Nagle. "He would put these in a separate basket and show them to the family when they returned. Us ually they would tell the butler to throw out the junk. Then he would give it to me." Nagle's been concentrating lately on information concerning Buffalo's Pan-American Exposi tion of years ago, and also the old Pierce Arrow company, once maker of one of the country's top-selling luxury automobiles "The study of local .history is time-consuming and collect ing is expensive," said Nagle. "But I can honestly say that through it I have never had a dull day in my life." Women's Clothing Said Serious World Problem Tokyo 1? A Japanese stu dent maintained today that the "provocative" clothing worn by women during the summer is more of a world problem than atomic tests. "Atomic bombs may be able to destroy our body but cannot flettroy our soul," he said in a letter to the newspaper Main ie'i.

Is That So? If you're a gardener, some one who figures that what goes down must come up, this one is for you. You'll find a hatful of tips You can play a trick on the birds and get a good stand of new grass if you'll first soak your seeds in inexpensive blu ing. Birds don't see in the blue part of the spectrum and will pass them up. Admittedly, it's a chore to sow tiny flower and vegetable seeds evenly, without having bare areas or bunching them. For the real tiny seeds like poppy, petunia, or moss put them into a pepper shaker. For coarser seeds, use a salt shaker, to space your planting, you might cover part of the shaker holes with cellophane tape. To avoid accidents, paint the handles of your gardening tools yellow so they can be easily found if left in grass or among flower beds. To start seedlings, plant them in empty half eggshells and set them in an egg carton. When they are large enough to plant outside, plant the eggshell with the plant. The plant roots will burst through the shell which will itself decompose and make very good fertilizer. Do your neighbor's pets both er your rose bushes and other delicate plants? There's an an swer which will not injure their pets. Sprinkle cayenne pepper liberally under and around them. Not only will it discourage these rambling pets but it will also help keep aphids and ants away. Skin of Cucumber Incidentally, if you're trou bled with ants indoors, place the skin of a cucumber where they have appeared and they will soon vanish. To drive off red ants, place a bag of sulphur in the in fested cupboard or drawer. Egg boxes are mighty handy to store your flower bulbs in. Fold the flap over and mark the variety of bulb in each box and then store the boxes on top of each other. To make your house - plant leaves green and shiny, wash the leaves with small pieces of cot ton dipped in olive oil. If you have a fishbowl, next time you change the water mix it half and half with fresh and pour it into your watering can. Y Are You Good at M I WW See our adv. on page 10 2nd section Dick Knight Co.

By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist This natural fertilizer plants green and healthy. keeps To keep house plants from get ting tall and spindly during win ter, pinch off the tops. Flannel Acts' as Wick If you're planning a trip and don't want to impose on your neighbors to water your house plants regulary, try this one: pack one end of a strip, of wet flannel around the base of the stem and place the other end of the strip in a large pan of water. Your plants will have a regular water supply for a week, at least. The flannel will act as a wick. Another way is to place com mon brick? in a tub of cold water say a brick for each plant. After the bricks have soaked up water, put each plant on a brick. The porous flowerpots will ab sorb water from the bricks which should keep them water ed sufficiently in a cool place for a few days.
