An hour spent in figuring out: s Df‘0dll(‘LiOn schedule for the ve- getable plot may save work and money later on An efficient schedule keeps the whole plot busy growing something all summer long and does not grow more than you need.

This enables you to use mum space, which saves seed, plzint food and water, which is important in sections where garden watering is restricted. But to make such a schedule calls for research into this question:

What vegetables do you need and how much of each? Take carrots; how often should they be served to your family, once, twice. or three times weekly? It should nohbe difficult to decide that.

The harvest. of carrots from s single sowing will last in top con- dition at least I-‘lghl. weeks. A row of carrots two feet long will provide an ample serving for the sverage family. So a first sowing of carrots 32 ‘net long will pro- vide 16 servings, two per week.

This should be followed by I second sow-mg, timed to mature when the first crop has been har- vested; and three sowings should see you through the season, so fsr as table use is concerned.

If you will estimate the number of family servings each Week 01 all short-harvest vegetables. YOU can figure out the number of sowings and the length of row for each, from the data in the

paniynng table.

Data on days to table size is given in most seed catalogues for every vegetable variety. Early var- ieties of lettuce will be ready in 40 days; while late head let- tuce may take 90 days to mature. By sowing early and late varie- ties at the same time, you can have a longer harvest. This may be advisable for sweet corn, because late varieties do better in late summer and early fall weather. But this practice requires more space. since the slow maturing varieties occupy soil which could be used for something else, if s successi-ii of quick growing crops were sown.

Peas, lettuce, radishes and opinion will not do well in July and early August. so do not plant these crops to yield in hot weath- er, but sow them for early sum- mer and fall harvests only.

Do not follow B leaf crop, seed crop, or root crop with one of the same class; but use a dif- ferent type, to avoid disease and soil exhaustion.

Before sowing s second crop. dig up the soil and apply plant food again. 2 pounds to 100 square foot or 100 feet of row.

Domestic Worker Insists On All Privileges Of A Guest

DEAR MISS DIX. After a recent operation, I was advised to have somebody come in to do the housework. Therefore, I engaged a woman recommended by my cousin. She has her own room, ample time off. and we are paying her more than an average salary. Our household consisted of my husband and myself. We welcomed her into our home and did everything to make her comfortable. S-he'd watch television with us in the evening. but now it has reached the point where she ex- pects all these privileges as her due. If we prefer reading, or erttertai.n- ing instead of watching television. she makes lt- quite plain that she's upset. She expects to be part of any group visiting us, staying in the living room for refreshments. etc. The situation is becoming very annoyms. Brenda G.

ANSWER: This is ii common occurrence when 1 friend of friends. or relatives, is hired to help with a household. If it has been assumed, or in any way indicated. that the worker is doing you a. favor to-stay with you. you have certainly lost all chance of privacy.

The time to come to an agreement was when the lady was hired. A definite arrangement should always be worked out between employer :nd employee regarding privileges in the home, as well as wages and

ours. HELPER HAVING OWN WAY

Future niisuncierstanding can thus be avoided. In your case, the employee seems to be running things pretty much as she likes: at this point, frank talk will accomplish little but hurt feelings. It really would be best to terminate her association with your home and start all over again with s complete stranger who has had experience in the care of convalescents. You'll be much better satisfied. If your helper lives a- lone, it's easy to understand her wanting to be part of a family circle, but there's no reason for her to morvopolize conversation or expect plea- sure, such as TV, at the expense of your convenience.

DEAR MISS DIX: The other evening my boy friend and I were in- vited to s club dance. Everytliing went well until there was a dance in- volving changing partners. My friend danced with a strange girl and,

ANSWER: You certainly have a boorlsh young man. He should know enough about dancing etiquette to realize that he was dead wrong in both cases. such behavior is not only embarrassing to you. but also makes the boy a laughing stock to others. Mannerless behavior is never considered funny. If this boy shows the same look of consideration in other activities, you ouizht to make him part of your past.

thinks he has something wrong with his heart, every little thing the doctor mentions will assume a large role in the examination.

I have written before about 5 relative calling me on the tele- phone snd asking me for the name of a "good" heart specialist which. without further thought, I gave her. I received an indignant tele- phone message from the heart specialist rebuking me for sending him a patient with s normal heart. Since that time I do not decide whether or not to have a patient consult a heart specialist until I have finished examining the heart.

The first thought should be as to whether or not there is an ab- normality of the heart and, if so. whether the condition is serious enough to need the advice of I heart specialist as today we know that many abnormalities are so near to being normal that more harm is done in mentioning them to the patient than in not men- tioning them.

One of the best known health writers of today is Dr. Walter C. Alvarez of the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation and in a booklet called "How to Live With Your I-Ieartl_i Condition" (Willcox and Plollett Co.. Chicago! he maku some helpful sugguiions for pai- ients with heart disease. that is, real or organic heart disease_

"Before trying to learn to live with your heart disease. it is good idea to find out if you really have any or anything that is worth worrying about Perhaps sll that may be wrong with you is that you were once turned down for life insurance or military ser- vice. or once the idea occurred to you to get a medical checkup ad the doctor said you had a murmur,

Oertslnly than have been Chris- tisn preachers and writers who have given substsnco to this con- plslnt. some Lynin writers and composers of hymn tunes hon been particular offenders. Evelyn Under-hill used to say that “hymns of the Weary Willie" type had done great harm to the chi-istlsn csuse. Yet it is s csricsturc of Christianity that is being reject- ed.‘ not the fslth itself. This cori- csture gains sup, 3 neither from the foundstluu. documents of the fslth nor from the lives of its most notsbls exemplars. Chris- tianity is not a way of scope but s Wly of life.

The believer lives, indeed, ll seeing him who is invisible: but this means that he is in touch with a spring of life which an- ables him to face daily tasks with courage and grace. The relevance of heaven to prsctical daily liv- ing is announced whenever he prays "Ilhy will be done. In earth as it is in heaven." It is his task to seek to know God's will; to gain fresh insights upon life from the Bible, from prsyer and mad- itation. from fellowfliip with Christians put snd present; to live in daily contact with an un- seen companion. God's will is not only to be known. it is to be obey- ed. The plsce of obedience is here: the time is HOW.

This is illustrated by at. Paul. writing from imprisonment to his friends In Phillppi. "Our con- versation is in heaven" is the translation in the Authorised Version of s sentence in the third chapter of Philippluis. The Re-
