the impact sent the station
wagon rolling over an em
bankment. It was demolished.
Ambulance driver E. J. Par
sons called the crash "the
worst I've ever seen." .! i
Chancey said the- teeners
"never knew what hit them."

GARDEN NOTES
SLUGS
With the cool fall weather,
slug activity increases, and
with the first fall rains these
pests begin their egg laying.
Most home garden crops are
not particularly susceptible "
slug activity at this time, how
ever some perennial flowers
and fall garden crops may be
attacked by these pests.
Metaldahyde baits or dusts
are recommended for control.
These will be obtained at the
local garden supply stores.
Slug control is a continuing
process around the home and
garden. Now is a good time to
reduce slug populations, ,
WASPS
Yellow jackets and other
wasps are often a problem in
the Fall. Where numerous
these Insects can be con
trolled with modern pesti
cides. Chlordane, Dicldrln or
Aldrin dust applied near the
entrances to their nests is
very effective.
It should be remembered
that chemicals are best ap
plied at night since there is
less chance of being stung at
that time.
Where nests cannot be locat
ed some control can be ob
tained by baiting these pests.
Ground meat or fish baited
with lead arsenate, one tea
spoon to one-half pound, will
help reduce wasp populations.
This bait is carried to the
nest where both the young
and adult wasps feed on it.
However, since lead arsenate
is a poison it should not be
used where it would . en
danger children or pets.
FALL BUGS
A number of insects which
invade the homes every fall
and annoy home owners, are
showing up again this year.
As the nights cool down
and fall approaches, Box El
der bugs (Maple bugs), grass
bugs and root weavils work
their way into homes looking
for a place to hibernate dur
ing the winter.
These insects are annoying
but are not dangerous or de
structive. Screening out is the
best method of control and
where only a few appear,
sweeping out or removing
with a vacuum cleaner is the
simplest method of control.
Where abundant, residual
sprays on the outer surface of
the house using strong solu
tions of Chlordane' or DDT
will help to reduce the inci
dents of these pests in the
home. ,
However, since these bugs
are moving in from the sur
rounding area It is extremely
difficult to completely con
trol these pests with sprays,
especially if there is an
abundance of Maple trees in
the area. :. ;
HOME FRUITS
Development of better me
thods for the growing and
care of home fruits enables
everyone to enjoy his own
home orchard and supply the
family with tree-ripened
fruits, says the American As
sociation of Nurserymen.
. Small fruits, like strawber
ries and bush fruits, like rasp
berries, likewise are easy to
grow.
A half hour of mild outdoor
exercise a week during the
growing season is all that it
requires to raise dwarf, or
standard fruit trees. By using
a push-and-pull sprayer and
any well-known, all-purpose
spray, it takes less than a
half-hour to spray a dozen
standard trees. About all that
is required otherwise is ; to
fertilize once a year and use
a hose occasionally when na
tural rainfall doesn't suffice.
Dwarf trees six to eight
feet apart in a hedgerow, is a
new wrinkle being tried out
by home agricultural experi
ment stations and commercial
fruit growers. On the home
property the , row of. ftuit
trees can serve a triple pur
pose: as a hedge, as spring
flowering trees, and for the
delicious fruit; while it also
greatly reduces the time in
caring for the trees. Almost
everyone has yard space for
a row of dwarf trees.
Given good soil, straw
berries require little care ex
cept weeding when the plants
are small and an occasional
watering in dry weather. New
varieties in recent years have
been developed that have im
proved flavor and bear more
profusely.
The bush fruits, if you wish
to grow them that way may
require little or no care. ' -y
this: take about a dozen bush
fruits and plant them in a row
at the rear of the lot. In a
few years you'll have all the
raspberries, or blackberries
other bush fruits your family
can eat, with enough left over
to make jam. They'll bear
better if cultivated and the
old canes cleared away, but if
you don't mind a thick berry
paten at the rear of the prop
erty you don't even need to do
this and you'll still get plenty
of fruit of excellent quality.

Mrs. F.R. - They are both
too fiery-tempered:
. e , e e - i .. ;
William R. - Does a fellow
of 18 have a right to his own
privacy or must he be at his
parents'1 beck and call 'until
he is able to leave home?
All I ask is to be let alone,
but that seems to be too much.
I am considered - an above
average student : and I am
starting college this fall.. I do
a great deal of reading - on
scientific subject! and-1 don't
like to be disturbed. My par
ents seem to think I should
drop everything and entertain
their stupid friends. ;
The other evening my fath
er slapped-me for being what
he called "fresh.", The . next
time a thing ilike that hap
pens, they'll : never see me
again. ' i
Mrs. F.R. . The - trouble is
that Bill is a lot like his
father, fiery-tempered. He has
always shown great hostility
toward his father and some
times even tries to tell me I
should leave him. ,"'.
Lately, Bill has been acting
up in front of guests. He'll get
into an argument with his dad
and then-stalk out of- the
room. If the. someone comes
well as a-means for whole
some family garden living;
then indulge ' yourself with
gardens of the special- flow
ers you love, most In this
way you create something of
great beauty t through sound
care of the plants.. This truly
is the 'purest of human plea
sures,' and it does far more
for the gardener -and his fa i
ily than It does for the-plants
themselves," it is said; . . i
to visit he'll remain locked
in his. room,' even ; if our
friends knock on the door and
ask to see him.
, Recently ; he stalked out ot
the house without even nod
ding to our guests, who had
greeted him. That's when his
father slapped him. I guess he
shouldn't have - done it in
front of people.
e . e
The Council: Difficult as it
may be to be patient with a
youth like Bill at this stage,
we urge these parents to make
the effort. The last thing Bill
needs is to be humiliated in
public by his father.
Bill's haughty attitude is a
dead giveaway of lack of as
surance. His severe conflict
with his father intensifies his
determination to trust and
like nobody.
Yet just beneath the sur
face, we envision a very
friendly, warm-hearted young
man. The fact that guests in
the R. home seek him out
when they come to visit is a
pretty good sign that Bill likes
people and would prefer to
make himself agreeable - if
he could do so without loss
of face. ,
We suspect that Bill wants
most what he resists most -his
father's friendship. And
very likely, the same is true
for Mr. F.R. He is hurt by his
son's hostility. Confused as to
how to win his affection, he
strikes out against him, de
manding what he least wants
- cut - and - dried obedience,
cold respect.
It would help a boy like
Bill to ' go to college away
from home for a time. If this
isn't possible, he should be
encouraged to get a job and
go all, out for college activi
ties! The more assurance he
builds up, the more his hos
tility tifcvard his father will
dissolve. , ;'!
We suspect that Mr.' F.R.'s
slap' hurt him more than iti
hurt Bill. But he shouldn't
brood about it. When there is
a reasonably firm foundation
of love between parent and
child, such incidents are taken
in stride by the child. The
parent, however, may let it
stand between them as a bar
rier to improving the relation
ship. ' , ' - ' ,

HELPS GARDENER ,
Planting and caring for
lovely shrubs and trees on
the home property provides
healthy, exercise, relaxation
from everyday tensions,
peacefulness and comfort.
: According to the American
Association of Nurserymen,
garden living affords Indivi
dual, as well as family, plea
sure and entertainment. Fran
cis Bacon called gardening
the "purest of human
pleasures."
"Surprisingly enough'' says
the Association, "planting and
landscaping also more than
pays for itself in the in
increased resale value of the
property." -
How do you plan a garden
for health and pleasure?
First , you list the plants
which appeal most to you and
your family. Nursery cata
logues have - long lists of
plants from which to choose.
Next you get the advice of
a good landscape nurseryman
to tell you where to plant the
things you like best, as well
as how to arrange the plant
ing for wholesome garden -living.
Gear the individual
planting which you will care
for yourself to the amount of
garden exercise and relaxa
tion you desire. A garden of
two dozen rose plants will
take less time than an hour
or so of . attention once a
week, ' including watering.
About the same applies to ca
mellias, azaleas, perennials
and other plants. A half doz
en dwarf fruit trees will
consume about an equal
amount of time. Lawns take
somewhat longer, according
to their size, mainly because
of the mowing. Many shade
and flowering trees and ever
greens require little, if any
time. They may or may not
need occasional spraying or
pruning or feeding depend
ing on the type and the fer
tility of the soil.
"If you Consider garden
ing to be work," advise the
nurserymen, '"then plant
trees and shrubs which , re
quire little or no work to
maintain. If, however, you
consider gardening healthy
exercise and relaxation, ' as
