Fine. A lot of people bought it for just that. But a lot of other people bought it and they don't use it for work. They use it for play. We put a sturdy 96 horse engine-in it becauSe a working truck needs lots of power. We designed it to haul a ton, because a working truck should be able to handle heavy toads.

The gas-powered rotary lawn mower of the walk-behind type is inexpensive, has blades that are easy and cheap to, maintain, will 'do te!'igtod job in tall grass and gee** drill .carr mulch leaves. it' is easy to maneuver and can cut. close to obstructions. On the other hand; rotary machines don't dO 'a very' neat job, will tend to shred the grass rather than clip it if the blades °are left unsharpened,. and are unsafe on 'uneven or ter- raced ground. Operators can save money by sharpening their own blades with a file or grinder,and should take equal amounts off each blade to keep the machine in bal- ance. The correct handling of these machines will help operators achieve best performance, and help ensure user safety. The machine should hold enough gas to do the entire lawn, so that there is no need to refuel the machine when it's hot; a four-cycle engine is beit for this. Professor Irwin . adds that a two-cycle machine needs extra attention because of the need to add oil to the fuel. The front wheels of the mower should be staggered to prevent lawn scalping, and a front corner discharge chute will keep the cut tress away from the operator. Large wheels with bearings make the machine easy to , push and turn. Professor. Irwin points out that the machine should always be turned in the opposite directlon from the one in which the chute points. A range of cutting heights, from 1 to 3 inches, should' gen- erally be obtainable. Stones and debris on the lawn Should be picked up before cutting begins. Mowing should be done across the slope,. Among the accessories that can be added to a rotary walk- behind mower are grass catchers, automatic speed controllers or governors, and rustproof housings, The horsepower of lawn mow- ers is generally related to the For Complete INSURANCE on your HOME, BUSINESS, FARM CAR, ACCIDENT, LIABILITY OR LIFE SEE JOHN A.

The student charged that the board was contributing to a ''cultural wasteland" in Huron County by nut providing art courses in the schools. It was learned that SHDHS is the cnly secondary school in the c)unty at which an art course is offered. However, much of the course will have to be discon- tinued there in the fall because of lack of interest on the part of the students. It has been left up to the principals,"' stated John Lavis, chairman, "and not enough kids wanted it (the art option)." Board member John Hender- son: sugges4d that if the prin- cipals encoOtaged art to the same degree that other subjects are pushed, there could possibly be more interest. Superintendent F. E. Madill said that an enthusiastic teacher is the first and most necessary requirement far a successful art course. ''It is a straight matter of dollars arid cents," noted John Cochrane, director of education. The board was also reminded that music is not a credit subject either at the present time. The studerit's letter argued that other courses, most notably cer- tain technical subjects, cater to only a 'minority of the student body in any one school. First Church Group Meets Mrs. J. C.

DE AR DORIS e I would like to know approx- imately how many people I should invite to the rehearsal party for my son's wedding. What do I serve? When and how should invitations be sent out? ' I must keep this as modest as possible due to finances. Is a rehearsal party absolutely a must? STUCK DEAR STUCK- mthere isn't even a Sometimes eunes rehearsal. But'if the wedding party is fairly large, nobody wants to pull a boner. A practice helps, with or without any socializing afterwards. Best man, ushers, maid or matron' of honor, bridesmaids, bride and groom, and their parents usually attend the re- hearsal party. Also husbands or wives. Noformal invitations - just a phone call. You can have a simple buffet supper with I cas- serole,, rolls, ice cream, coffee. If you are watching your pennies make it just cake and coffee. It's the get-together that counts. DEAR DORIS - I am 18, engaged to a fellow 24. And now.I'm not sure whether I love him or not. He practically worshipped me from... the start. There are times when I think he is not well enough educated for me. He brags a lot. But then he can be so wonderfully under- standing. I try to forget' filS l I t ave gone out ;with about 40 bfaouylss before and none were as easy to ger alort—With. SornetimeS I feel we belong together and other times 1 feel I am' too good for him. I hate myself for it. -ENGAGED BUT DEAR ENGAGED - Let's sort this out. There is an age gap of six years. You are better educated than he is. The bragging is in self-defense. I'm' betting yoti'd be surer of yourself and your love if he weren't so blessed easy-going. If he is to get a -square deal from you, you will have to discipline yourself to , keep him from spoiling you. Love can grow. Are your in- terests mutual? Take a little more time. But don't depend on your emotions and physical at- traction to settle it. width of the cut.. Cutting widths range from 16 to 22 inches and the corresponding power from 3 to 4 horsepower: Some machines are self-propelled. For every ten rotaries sold, one gas-Powered ' reel-type mower is purchased. These nrow- ers are much more expensive. Their cutting widths range from .16 to 20' inches with generally five or six blades on 'the' reel. The mat hine&-,' need ten a'rek maintenance as the. reel needs frequent adjust- ing, and a special machine to sharpen the mower reel blades and the bed knife is necessary. The,. reel mowers will give a ..beautiful cut, but for best results lawns must be cut more often as the, grass should be short and erect when cut. More blades, do- ' ser together, 'will give more cuts per' foot, and this will give a Smoother finish to the lawn. DEAR DORIS - (1) How long do you have to wait for a divorce to come through once proceedings ate started and you've gone to court? (2) The court opens here in September. Would I be notified before this if my husband sues for divorce from me' NOT CERTAIN DEAR NOT CERTAIN - (1) if the petition is granted the-re is a provisional ,•clecree nisi" at the court hearing and this becomes a final ',decree absolute" three months later. (2) No one can be divorced without knowing about it. You will be personally served with the documents well ahead of the time the case _comes up, in court. - DEAR DORIS - Is there any truth to the common belief that Italians are a much more passionate race? I am very interested in one, but my friends warn me that these people are brought up very quickly at home and that our opinions on morals might differ considerably. As yet, I have not dated this boy and will await your advice.He is 21 and I am 18. -TRUSTING DEAR TRUSTING' - When a group of young Italian-Canadigns were invited to a community centre dance, the Cahadian girls who socialized with them found them a bit forward. Yet Italian girls find this natural and cope with it. Each nation has its own ap- proach to life. Keep in mind that the best matches are made where backgrounds are not ,too dis- similar;, then, if he attracts you, date the young man and find out what you have in common.
