Save Summer Bulbs To A Many- Purpose Aid Plant Again Next Spring For, Modern Homes

Tuberoua rooted begoniaa are gaining fast In favor with

home

aummer flowering bulbs. and tubers which are not winter hardy. can be dug before the ground freezes and stored until spring, to be set out for another season of bloom. The precautions which are necessary to keep tiicm in good condition are not difficult to take.

A flower which has gained wide- spread popularity in recent years is the tuberous rooted begonia When the foliage begins to de- crease and turn yellow in the fall the tubers should be dug up and washed free of soil. Leave a poi'- iinn of the atom for awhilc. and in a week or ten days it will come loose. Do not cut or break it off. it is best to dry the tubers in the sun. or in a dry well ventilated place, for two weeks. When the last portion of the stem Iias fallen off or been easily removed. stor- age the tubers in trays. seed flats or shallow boxes one layer decii. surrounded by dry peat-moss. A itemperature of 45 to 50 degrees is ideal.

Do not be surprised if stored tubers develop sprouts in March or April. Try not tn break the sprouts and start them early in pots, keeping indoors until it is safe to carry them nutside.

Gladiolus bulbs. dahlia tubers and canna roots should be allowed to grow until trust kills their top growth. They will increase in size and -store up food for next year".-: plants. -

When gladioli are dug let them dry in the sun until the soil shakes off easily. There, will usually be a large corm, perhaps with a vestige of the old bulb attached below it. and small bulbs and bulbets at- tached to it. Remove the dead top growth, and.put all bulbs bulblets of one variety in one or more kraft paper bags not over two-quart size. Drop a small quantity of 5 per cent. D.D.T. dust in the bag and shake until the bulbs are well coated with dust. This will take care of any thrips or eggs which arc present or will develop. Do not close the bags. or pile them up. but store where air can enter freely. Each bag should Store in a dry well ventilated place be labeled with the variety name where the temperature stays be- tween 40 and 60 degees.

, Dahlia tubers should be dug. idried and cleaned and examined carefully for signs of disease or

injury. Discard all tubers show- ling signs of trouble, as they would probably not survive winter, and lmight infect others. Small spots

of infection may be cut out and the wounds dusted with dusting sul- phur. Cut the stems back to 3 inches, remove fine and withered roots, but use great care not to break ior injure the narrow neck which lconnects the tuber with the clump, las a blind tuber may result. Dahlia tubers should be stored in a cool room, where the air is not too dry, otherwise they may wither and lose vitality. They 'may be packed in boxes with peat moss or vermiculite, which admit air and absorb moisture, protecting tubers i'rom becoming too damp or too dry. Occasional inspection of the tubers should be made during the 'winter, so that diseased tubers may lbc discarded. if there are signs yof shrinkage. the packing material imay be moistened slightly. but not enough to cause dampness. Dahlias

lkeep well in the same range of

ltcmperatures as giadioli, 40 to 60 degrees.

WAX has many uses in the mod- em home. So don't reserve it for furniture and floors alone.

No pails to carry when you clean woodwork with wax. and it super gleam results. too. Use one of the no-rub furniture waxes and begin by dusting off loose dirt. Then ap- ply the wax; let it dry. and wipe off the haze with a soft cloth.

Loosening Dirt

On heavily soiled areas, first loosen dirt by rubbing with wax- saturatcd cloth. wipe dry with clean cloth. then re-apply wax in regular way.

Kitchen waxes have been da- veloped to take care or that stub- born cooking film that clings so tenaclously to kitchen walls and woodwork. An easy way is to satu- rate a cloth with the wax, using

improvement In livi Nova Scoiia Coal Mi

By FORBES RHUDE

Canadian Pn-ss Business Editor

If. you have pictured Nova Scotia mining communities as depressed areas. please forget it.

There are some groups or dis. mal dwellings but they aren't typ- ical and are passing away.

Mining communities. like. other parts of Canada. have been rela- tively DFD5DBr0us over a term of years. Their people have built and bought better homes and raised their standard: of living.

Various movements. such as that initiated by St. Francis Xavier University of Antigonlsh. have led to co-operative home building. Un- der such plans a group of 10 or 12 famhes forms a company. gets a loan from the Nova Scotia govern- ment, studies building, contributes spare-time labor and under super- vision b lids modern homes for half the normal price.

TENANTS BUY HOMES

As another development. coal companies that once owned long lncs of blackened houses in which the occupants had little pride. have sold them to tenants at nominal prices and on easy terms. Now you see people outside what was once a dilapidated house. plying paint brush. nailing on shingles. or dig-i glng a basement. .

I visited welfare agencies and found distress enough. probably more distress than in severai years. But it did not seem com- paratively more, if as much, as exist in any large city of an indus- trial area. y

The miner has hitch been Ar-i cused of improvidericc. Today. with somewhat. changed ideas concern- ing the value of the quick circula- tion of money. he is not called improvldent but a good spender

A few more dollars are being put away for a rainy day. Miners of the Sydneyfsydney Mines and Glace Bay area, have invested 53- 000.000 in credit unions.

Outsiders sonietimcs envisage the miner as a man with coal-3 blackened fave. Work-weary andl prematurely aged This plciurel fades in the robust. fun-loving mining communities of Nova Sco- tia. The miner comes home with less grime on him than an office worker. The first thing he does when he comes from underground is take a shower and change into street clothes.

INOT A BAD LIFE

I asked many miners what they ithink of mining as ii way of life Tom McLaughlin. new president of District 26, United Mine Workers of America. said:

"Given security of job and ae- curity of the future of coal min- ing, the miner is happy and con- tended. Under proper working con- ditions it isn't it bad life. But there is constant danger and one must get used to that"

I was told wages range from 39.74 to 317.10 a day, with contract miners earning from 810 to :25 a day. Average rate for an eight- liour day is 812.50 to 313.

More than 200 modern cars can be seen on the parking lot near the Sprtnghlll plthesd. I was told that sprlnghill has more cars per capita than any other place in Canada. and that the situation is much the same in other mining communities.

An examination of the coal in- dustry must include consideration of company-employee relations.

several blttcr struggles nvsr the years give an impression of strife, yet compared with United states fields the Nova Scotln mines have enjoyed relative peace.

Preparing for winter

You will be getting ready for winter drapes and curtains soon. A good idea is to wax the rods. tx- pecially the traverse variety. This makes draw drapes easy to pull back and forth. And while at the windows. remember that Venetian blinds are readily cleaned with waxes that leave a shining surface- a hard. dry surface, with no oily mm to catch dust and soot.

Don't forget the window sills. which are constantly exposed to moisture and dirt. At house-

cleaning time. use a cleaning wax on them instead of a harsh abrasive to remove soil. Then. from time to time. apply a cost. of paste wax to protect the finish from deterior- ation and to keep the sills glossy.

ng Conditions Of ning Communities

passages. Nevertheless. I gained the impression that officials and miner leaders know their common problem is the survival of the in- dustry and their own livelihoods and approach their problem with a will to understanding.

”A union isn't something separ- ate and apart in a comm:mity." Tom McLaughlin said. "It is pos- Elbly the largest organized group of citizens and anything interfer- ing with the welfare of the com- munity interfers with that of the

union.

"The function of the union in industry is to promote to its ut-

most ability the industry that em-

plays is members and get from that industry the highest standard of living the industry can supply."

I heard criticism of both sides. but often it seemed tempered by a desire not in say anything that might hurt the industry or com- pany-labor relations.

I heard that absenteeism is a problem. Mention of that to a miner generally brought a spirited reply laying the blame on the company, but often with an added: "Better not say too much about that."

My interpretations that. both sides have a job to do to promote understanding and increase

pro- duction and that-allowing for hu- man frailtlcs-the. will try in do it. Stuffed Tomatoes ll large firm tomatoes 1'-.v cups bread crumbs 1': tsp. salt
