I have never figured It was any more out of the way than any other city. Just be cause we live some 30 miles from Salem doesn't necessarily mean that we are »Hit in the sticks. We can drive from here to Salem in a very slxirt lime on our highway. Our mail ser vice is adequate for everything we need, and our stores carry most of the things needed for everyday life. All of tins was brought sharp ly into focus last week, when a small bolt on one of our type setting machines broke. Type setting machines have special bolts, thousands of them. You can t purchase many ot them from regular hardware stock. This was the kind that broke. I immediately took the two pieces of the bolt over to Jim Hoover, who is a real artist with a welding torch. He had It fixed up in short time, but said, "you better order another, as it may not hold." 1 got back to the simp at 4.30 and called a Seattle ¡»arts house and found out that they did have this par ticular bolt. They said they would send it air mail that night, and it arrived on the morning mail here in Mill City. We had it installed on our ma chine at about 9:30. Do you call that isolation.’ 1 would say we have nearly all the advantages of a larger city, and have the comfort of space and Iresh air. Who could ask for more? Last week when 1 was up at Dr. Reid’s office and we were enjoying a "shot" together-- he was giving it and I was tak ing it—I looked out of the win dow over into Dave Reid’s yard. There was a yellow rose bush in full bloom. 1 asked Dr. Jack, isn’t that strange, a rose bush in full bloom this time ot year? He let me sit there and look at it for awhile, and then said many of his patients had no ticed it also. He said, "those are artificial blooms.” Then he said his wife had informed him that in the summer the rose bush had red blooms on it. Nevertheless it is a bright spot in the Reid yard, and has caused many a laugh this wint- "Bleeding” of trees and other plants from wounds caused by pruning or injury does little or no harm to the plant. Many people, seeing the flow of sap from these wounds, com pare it to the bleeding of hu- mans and animals. Such com- parison is erroneous. Bleeding effects plants t o varying degrees, but is not con sidered serious with any plants. With most fruit trees such bleed ing seems unimportant regard less when the pruning is done. In most plants, at first, the vigor of the plant is no more than slightly effected. Plants bleed most during the late winter and early spring months. Pruning at other sea sons will minimize bleeding, especially with those plants I which are most susceptible. ‘Tex’’ Glover—All American “Miss Basketball”—Texas SMALLER MONTHLY FUEL BILLS Simple plan makes your heating bills fit your budget all of your heat convenience for homeowners.

Four carloads of faculty, jun iors, seniors and sophomores, eagerly anticipating an evening at the theater, arrived prompt ly at 8:00 p. m. Friday. It seems the play was Thursday night. But it wasn't a total kiss. We saw Billy Budd at one ot the local movie houses. Thursday, eight members of Santiam's Honor Society at tended a conference of the mid- Willamette District of the Na tional Honor society at Corval lis on the OSU campus. We elected new officers for the district, toured the campus and got underfoot ot the Uni versity rtudents, and had quite a bit of fun. Saturday is the Sophomore's Sweethear's ball date.
