Despite a governmlent poster campaign to persuade people to drink less alcohol, the number of deaths in France from-alco holism and cirrhosis of the liver has remained' at about 20,000 a year since 1950 .... Nearly half the doctors (100 family doctors practising in and around Bordeaux) . considered red wine alone was responsible for alcoholism in the area. ife October 29, 1966 . “I seem to be always busy and yet we could be doing about ■five times as much work at the’office, but we have to be there. It certainly is convenient being across the street, we can come over for a cold drink whenever we like. , We moved into a new office in the same building two weeks ago and have two rooms now. The workroom has shelves on one wall, and a shelf-type bench around the other walls for our typewriter and Gestetner. It is much but we could sure use an .air-conditioner! There was another Country Party committee : last week, but everyone is so new to this campaign They don’t seem to know what to do. Mr. Calder comes into the office frequently to have'Some typing d'one. He is such a nice-man, much too nice to be a politician. . I think I told you Muriel (our Irish friend) moved to Alice Springs. She minded the heat “terribly in Darwin, but I heard1 on the radio, it was 103° in Alice today, although they don’t have the humidity we get. Actually, Darwin has the lowest maximum- temperature of any capital city, as I believe 93° is 'the highest we’ve ever had, yet it goes over 100° in other States. We have had a few showers lately, but the “wet” hasn’t really started yet. We don’t have four seasons in the Territory,, just the “wet” arid the “dry”. ‘ ’ 21 November 1966 “The magazines and papers came on Saturdlay. It was really good to see a News-Record again and I Was most ■interested in the articles about Baird’s School. Didn’t you go to the celebration? Is the school closed now? Hoiw is the weather now — has it snowed yet? ■ The rain has started a bit now — usually^ at night and cools the air for an hour or so.. Our flat is terribly hot. Ut gets the sun in the afternoon and the walls: seem to' hold the • heat. ,. 1 It’s so nice to see the rain again, everything is getting green again and the flowering trees — painoiiana, frangipani ibouganvtilea, etc., are in full bloom. Business has been pretty good lately, but was quiet today. . tye have, had Mr. Calder in a lot, and his wife. Also- last week .had a Senator from the South, who was up-campaigning for Mr. Calder,- popping in and1 out all week. , N , The election is on Saturday and Elizabeth and I will be handling out. “how-tO-vote” ’cards at the polling booth. Elizabeth and Michael are driving to Sydney, leaving about December 9, and I am rather dreading being on my own. Have a lady to come in half days for most of December but in Dariwin people are not very dependable — so I hope it works out alright. We will have about six girls out on tem porary jobs over Christmas so, will have a lot of money to pay out. However, our bank account is in the black just now, ■and I think we’ve convinced' the bank managei- that we can make a profit. People pay their bills pretty promptly and we haven’t had any bad debts to- write off as-yet. Had1 another little1 trip down the Track on Sunday for ia swim at Berry Springs, and a barl^ecue about 20 miles further down. Met. a chap who is with Corinelans Airlines •—• a small private airline — Who fly. the mail, etc., around the outback, and he says that he will get us a trip to Ayers Rock if we get to Alice Springs. We will enquire about flying down, tod, as it is rather a Jong dilive ' 1,000 miles — and I would1 have to close -the office for several days."

Poinsettia - Make It Last Well Into 1967 Many homeowners will be re ceiving a traditional Chirtisltmas plant, the poinsettia,, this year. It is interesting to note that the flowers of the ■ pdinsetitia are very inconspicuous and that the colorful show is actually provided by the larger, scarlet, leiaf-like bracts, Although the scarlet is the mosit popular color, poinsettia -also, comes • in varying shades of panic through cream. Horti- cul.turalists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food tell us that with proper care these plants can be kept flowering throughout the entire festive season. It is important to remember that the plants like bright sun light but should not be placed on window ledges or near hot air registers. Drafts or sudden changes of temperature will often cause the lower leaves to yellow ar. fall off the plant. Although the ideal temper ature for poinsettliia is about 65 °F, it is better to keep it slightly warmer than to chance a temperature drop below 60° F, as this also causes leaf drop. Correct watering is one of the most important cultural re quirements of the poinsettia. If it is under- or over-water ed, yellowing and loss of the lower leaves may result. At this time of year the short days are often cloudy and dull and over-watering is a common .occurrence. Do not waiter until the soil on the top of the pot is just dry to the touch. When plants have been placed in decorative jardinieres^ or con tainers, it is advisable to move them to the kitchen and water them there, being sure that they are well drained before ■they are taken back. This pre vents a buildup of Water in the bottom of the container which might cause root rot. With a little time and care garden enthusiasts' mlay keep plants until next year.- After the pliant has finished’ flower ing, rest it in a cool location and allow the soil to dry out. Cut the pliant back to about one foot in height, repot and apply Water to start new growth. Ex pose to strong light and keep at a temperature of 65 to 70°F. If your plants, are to flower for Christmas, they must not receive more than 13 hours of light a day after September 1st. The poinsettia is a short day plant and will noit flower if it is exposed to even the light from an electric light bulb dur ing its dark period. The plant should be covered with a heavy black cloth until later on in the fall when the daylight dbes- not exceed 13 hours. k, Z -o- THE “ARMY” CARES When illness or unemploy ment strikes,' a family often can’t afford even small Christ mas gifts.
