OUT ON A LIMB WIT:' ILL SMILEY Heard something or the street the other day that really tickled my funny -bone. Just as I walked pant these two 1.ttle boys, about eight years old, I heard one say: "It you gotta die,- why -go to col- lege'?" So help me, that's what he said. I don't know whether they were talking about reincarna- Lion or the increase in university fees, -but it shook me rigid. e * m Why go to college, indeed? Especially if ya g'otta die,. I went to college. Aixl went and went and went. 1 started right after high school, and what with one thing and another, I was a married man with a child by the time I got a degree, rune years later. No- body can tell me you have to go to college to get into that predica- ment. * * * :n The first year I was there, I learned three things. One was how to shoot a pretty fair game of pea pool. The second was how to say "I love you" in Portuguese, so I could converse with a babe I met from Brazil. (I think it goes "Eu to amo"). The third was that I wasn't going to pass my exams, so, with a sudden burst of patriot- ism, I joined the Air Force just before exam time. * * * * Returning after the war, I was a lot older, sadder and wiser. I was determined to get down to business, and make every minute count. It was during 'this period of intense study that I learned some things that have stood me in good stead during the years since. Thefirst was how to sleep during a lecture,with my eyes open. This has proved invaluable at church, political meetings, 'and the many after-dinner speeches inflicted on a weekly editor. * * * * This period also gave me my first lesson in simple economics. I had quite a bankroll when I was 'discharged. My pay had built up while I was behind the barbed 'wire. Well, sir, within a few months I had discovered that you cannot live indefinitely on your capital. Within a year I had learned- that two absolutely cannot live as cheaply as one, unless one of them doesn't eat. * * * * _ - I - -Despite the -fast-that al/ I.pited- When you visit the circus or the zoo, don't spend all your time looking for traditional pictures. A "sleeper" like this makes a fine snapshot. best thing is to look over your elderly uncles and aunts. Find one who's a little shaky on the pins' or has a bad heart. Take out a large insurance .policy on auntie, with yourself as the beneficiary. Some • day when she's up on the ladder, painting the kitchen ceil- ing, blow up a paper bag and burst it. If this doesn't do the trick, get her to go for a walk with you along the edge of a cliff. If she's toonimble, and doesn't go over when you trip her, you'll have to figure out something yourself. * * * * Perhaps the richest reward of those college years' is the wonder- ful friendships you'll make. Tete fellow I knew very well at college is a big stage and television star now. But do you think he's for- gotten his old friends? Not a bit of it. :F * * When I was in Toronto last fall, I went around to see him back- stage one night. He shook hands with me, pleased as punch. You'd think a big, important chap like 'that wouldn't have time to bother with a small-town editor. Not him. And he's going to pay me back that $25 he borrowed just as soon as he gets that big Broadway role. He even gave me his autograph, without me having to ask. That's the sort of real, lasting friendships you build in college. * * Maybe the kid who started all this reminiscence was really say- ing: `If ya wanta pie, I'd go to Mollie`s." o— ---o 0 CLINTON HOLDS TOWN TAX -RATE TO 74 MILLS Clinton Town Council managed to "hold that lure" and set the 1956 tax rate at 74 mills, the same rate as last year. The breakdown of the rate is as follows: County rate, 11.89 mills; debentures, 4.07 mills; public school, 22.23 mills; collegiate in- stitute, 7.215 mills; town, 28.645 mills. Total estimated revenue is $202,017 and estimated expendi- tures, $198,218.70. Out of total taxes of $144,915, t h e public school requires $43,531, and the collegiate $14,128. Debenture charges amount to $24,521 and interest $18,828. Give Them Room In the most successful gardener there is always a streak of ruth- lessness. He or she as the case may be is not afraid to trim and The• soft hart,eIrl .nip other hand,- la always inclined to let every spindly plant grow, he hesitates to shear off crowded flower buds, or trim an edging row of alyssum or some other flower that is beg -inning - to go to seed and if allowed to will soon become unsightly. Actually results are far more satisfactory in both the flower and vegetable gardens, as well as with shrubbery or trees, where eone makes sure there is plenty of room, where weak and crowded plants are removed so that the rest may grow straight and strong. Seeds are tiny things and so are new shrubs, trees and puppy dogs. But once they start to grow they soon lose all that and need plenty of room. Far too often the be- ginner will plant flowers and shrubs and—sometimes even trees right up against the house. For a short time it does not matter but long before these things need their full room, they get crowded and lopsided. Usually too they become spindly and (weak, a prey to the first summer storm or disease. Even the tiniest 5:Avers like portu- lace, or lobelia or alyssum require some room to develop, usually an inch or so each way. With things like zinnias and petunias a foot apart is not too much and it is sur- prising how fast they will fill up all the space between. The same is true of vegetables. Beans, peas, carrots, :beets, even lettuce and radish should have an inch to six inches between plants. Allowed room they will grow faster and are more tender to eat. With shrubs, and trees, still more space is needed. It is a great mistake to have more than one or two trees on the average city lot. Trimming And even with plentty of room for individual, plants, very often some trimming is required. The wise gardener, of course, will ruth- less,y` and regularly shear off all dyi g bloom. By doing so he en- courages the plant to send out more buds and to keep blooming. With beds of alyssum and similar flowers, he will cut back regularly after the bloom begins to fade and get a new and fresh crop of flowers a little later. Diseased or broken branches on flowers, shrubs and trees, of coursec should be re- moved promptly. -Support tain cases we may use a bit of brash stuck firmly in the ground and around which the plants can grow and be supported. With trailing things like sweet peas, morning glories and other vine p an , we use ' sti 1n-gs or tretttti1 or brush. With tomatoes, dahlias and perhaps the taller gladiolus, firmly driven stakes three to six feet high are used and the plants tied- -loosely to _these~ every-- foot or so. With young trees one should also plant a tall stake firmly and tie the trunk to it for the first few years. This prevents the tree from being whipped around and tearing loose the fine roots which are the only ones capable of ab- sorbing nourishment and water. Finer And Better Germinating seeds and roots do not like air. Hence in any seed bed one should have the soil as fine as possible, raking several times or cultivating thoroughly to break up the lumps. Then after the seed is sown. the soil should be pressed down firmly and if it is not moist, it is a good plan to water thoroughly, but carefull3 to avoid washing out the seed or covering it too deeply. In moist, fine, warm soil, germination will start quickly. Cultivation Killing weeds is only one of the reasons for cultivation. The big gain is the improvement in the texture of the soil. Cultivation lets in air, (breaks up the clay lumps, makes the soil more open so that it will absorb and gold Of May �' At3CTIONPlant Pfister for quality and yield.] up at eollege was a family and Nearly' all big -plants will' LiCENSE EER _ 11 J a� fedi mad ,kialuts., I ,rvoii] .strtrngly ��e►�nw.�wlaae.I�slerue�w 4n l recommend it to anyyirnYou'll �be amazed at how quickly very first time you're onholidays,you'll see how far you've out- distanced the folks at home on the farm.
