NY GREEN THUMB
The P9Pular comedy star of 'TV
Miss Proolcs'" expresses her opinion
of I4Fming" on an 4Q,,acre ranch,
By F3 V1 MU:MN
My green 'thuirxh has itched
for years, - I'd scratch It but it
wouldn't offer real• relief, It would
just itch again some time, ,Tust
when I'd resigned , myself to a
permanent itch, my family and
became Interested, in a house that
had 40 acres of land behind It,
,My husband and daughters called
it a ranch but I'm old-fashioned.
It'Waa a farm to me, But that
was okay.• have nothing against
the ranchers,
• We gave up our house In Los
Angeles, We packed our furniture.
We closed ,an apartment near the
radio and television studios, We
moved, did our "Our, Miss Brook-
Sea," went ,,So •school, took care of
our two balicy cons, We were all
very busy last spring. Through it
all, my thumb itched as usual.
We had a big meeting in the
ranch-farm kitchen, My point was
that 40 apres was a farm and why
don't we live on it like a farm,
seeing as it was a farm anyway?
That's what. everybody agreed to
do.
Liza, 11, and Connie, nine, got
me interested in the barn, We
bought sheep, cows, chickens,
ducks, turkeys, horses, goats and
a burro, We named them all.
One cow is named Jane Russell
and another is named Marilyn
Monroe. A little lamb is named
Little Orphan Annie and the goat
is named Mollie B.' after a boat
which-struck Liza's fancy:
Brooks, my' husband, had this
dream of big, ripe, delicious fresh
fruit. I had a' modest little dream
of lovely shade trees, So we com-
promised and planted fruit trees.
We bought apple trees, lemon
trees, grapefruit trees, `peach trees,
avbcado trees. and three fig trees.
We all pitched in during the
activity. We planted, raked, lugged,
hay, bought seed ,and cow medi-
cine,. dug holes, , used a spray,
weeded weeds, and we even caught
poison oak.
We carpentered inside the house,
painted,,'hought antiques, and the
girls and I even started to hook a
rug!
' We love it. Our 40 acres• rest on.
rolling land and in the early morn-
ing and at dusk, the colors of the
land and the trees fill our hearts
with happiness: The animals are
our friends. Everyone in the family
has a piece of the land which is
their own and a special project to
hold their interest. We feel that
this earth is ours and plunging our
fingers and • spades in it, we're
thrilled when seeds rise to plants',
and vegetables groW and trees bud..
And my thumb has stopped itch-
ing, It's got a job to do now, I
guess. So 'have I.—CBS Radio.

DROP-LEAF TABLE-
TRACKS OFF FLOOR
Many mothers of small boys have
been faced with the problem, of
stumbling over toy trains. In many
homes ,there are no basements or
extra repine to accommodate young
trainmen and their equipMent.
Here is a suggestion that father
may carry 'through with a little
urging,
A drop-down table might be built
on one wall of the boy's bedroom,
constructed of 'n" plywood. If there
is room, the table measuring 4x8
feet will take care of a fair-sized
Met-up. The two legs can be 'made
either of wood or pipes Sprewed to
the underside with flanges. At-
tached to the wall studs with angie
brackets ,is a. frame 8 inches deep
and S feet lung. When open the
board should be proper working
height for the boy.
'1'.o acid extra support as well as'
storage space, hookshelVes can be
built beneath, the'top of the bodit-
case - even with the table top so
that when the board is shut there
is an enclosed shelf to provide
hdusing space for extra cars, etc.
All stationary signals, tracks,
tunnels, etc. are permanently nailed
to the table, To keep it secure when
folded up •a strong latch should be
p-t at the top of the board,
The underside of the table can
be used as a bulletin board, and
blackboard when folded up. There
will also be room for mane, pic-
tures 'and the many other things
