' t the Woman's Club Friday
<>ruinK at 10 o'clock for a regular
>mth!y session. Guest speaker for

.Mr. Wharton gave an interest-
« and instructive talk on "Trees,
nubs and Flowering Shrubs"
•«*vv in this part of the country,
r^r shade trees for the lawns,
r. Wharton mentioned, among
hers. Live Oaks, Red Oaks, Post
iks. Pecans, a non-bearing mul-
rry and Sycamores as long life
es. The Hackberry. of course,
sich is a dry climate tree.
For quick growing, but short
e trees, there is the Chinese,
oetican, and Water Elms, Mr.
harton said. Also various types
cot, and pear trees will grow thro-
ughout this area, he stated.
Mr. Wharton said that some of
the shrubs and trees have what is
known as cotton root rot, caused
by the soil in which they grow,
being too tight, with poor drain-
age. This can be avoided by pro-
per mulching, with controlled feed-
ing and watering, he advised.
For shrubs that wilt grow suc-
cessfully here with proper care,
Mr. Wharton suggested the crepe
Myrtle, Privet Hedge, honeysuckle,
various types of cedar, Japanese
Quint'e, red bud. Cape Jasmine,
pumgranite and others.
Mr. Wharton concluded his talk
by bringing to the attention of the
club members, the fact that "given
thumbs" often put large-growing
hrubs where smail-g rowing

Holiday Season Treat—Pork Roast
important fact a "green thumb"
should keep in mind when land-
scaping his garden or small space
or corner of his lawn.
Newsprint manufactured entir-
ely from sawgrass was used expe-
rimentally in a recent issue of a
lewspaper in Florida.
Gay paper frills top each Vib bone, making this an attractive
roast for the holiday season. Spiced cherries garnish the platter.
For best results the pork loin has been placed fat side up on a
rack in an open roasting pan and cooked in a moderate oven

SeeurHy Risks
Are Weeded Out
DETROIT, Nov. 24 (U.R;—Post-
master General Arthur E. Summer-
field said Monday that nearly 14300
"poor security risks" have been
weeded out of the federal govern-
ment since the Republican admin-
istration took over.
Summer-field said in a speech
prepared for delivery before the
Detroit Economic Club that 166 of
the "risks'* were dismisesd from
the Post Office Department under
a "vigorous security program"
launched by President Eisenhower.
"Others will follow as soon as
the cases against them are com-
pleted," he said. "This adminis-
tration . . . will safeguard the
l ights of American citizens. It will,
however, permit no blindnes or
softness toward Communist party
numbers, propagandists or fellow-
travelers."

(toasting Pork
Roasting meat takes little of
you* attention. You can place thi-
rst in a 350 deg. F. oven and
rget about it until near serving
time. The modern way to roast
meat is as follows: Place the meat
"at side up on a rack in an open
roasting pan. Do not cover and do
not add water to the pan.
If you have a roast meat ther-
mometer be sure to use it. This
liminates guesswork. Inserted in
.he center of the thickest section,
iut not on bone or in fat, the ther-
mometer will indicate when the
roast has reached the degree of
doneness you desire. You can plan
on 35 to 40 minutes per pound for
•i center cut roast; 45 to 50 min-
utes per pound for an end roast.
Let the roast stand in a warm
place for 15 to 20 minutes after it
•orties from the oven to make carv-
ing easier.
