U9ITED PHCSS
The Mississippi river, swelled
by its flooded tributaries, climb
ed toward fleod stage today, and
at least 105 Minnesota familes
were forced to flee their homes.
New thunderstorms hit Minne

one-third inch of rain at Minne

Other heavy rains swept Iowa,
where Cedar Rapids and Mason

and portions of the North Atlan
tic coast region.
Albany, N.Y., got a half-inch
deluge in a six-hour period, and
Burlington, Vt., was swamped

farmlands.
Readings near the 100-degree

Man is Walking
Historical Society
Buffalo, N. Y. W You
might call Roy W. Nagle a one-
man historical society.
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

women during the summer is
more of a world problem than
atomic tests.

to destroy our body but cannot

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.

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

say a brick for each plant.
After the bricks have soaked up
water, put each plant on a brick.
The porous flowerpots will ab

which should keep them water

who have trouble with their

course near Rochester.
Mike DeGregory, a former
club pro, had the par 27, nine
hole course built with an eve to
wards helping the fellow with a
poor short game.
Each hole ranging from 44 to
99 yards is par three with a
regular large, bent-grass green.
"There's nothing wrong with
the average short game that a
little 'homework' can't cure,"
DeGregory said.
He also pointed out that it
should take only 45 minutes to
play nine holes a definite ad
vantage for someone short of
time. Additionally, the new
course, first of its kind in the
area is lighted at night.
