Hie days of the grandmother in
her lace cap sitting by the window
knitting is a thing of the past. To-
day’s grandmother keeps herself
trim and alert and is a close com-
panion to her grandchild. With few
exceptions, women are glad to be
grandmothers, and show no em-
barrassment whatever with the ti-
tle.
However, there are some who are
not at all happy with the fact that
pure disappointment,” said one.
Somehow some of them have not
figured out a way to beat the recal-
citrant angles yet.
Seemingly surprised when they
can not do many of the things they
once did, they do not blame it on
their age, but try to think it is just
the weather, or some small ailment
which causes them to be slightly
inactive. They are prone to say,
“I'm just as strong as I ever
was, and feel just as well, most of
the time, however they do admit
they get dizzy “at times” and a
few times just feel "plain lazy.”
The the advent of mixes of all
kinds for cooking, television, elec-
tric applaincee, push - button gad-
gets, and other modem devices,
the modem grandmother can be
just as active as most of her
daughters. They are in a position
to travel more and do many of the
things they have longed to do all
of their lives.
Grandchildren, now days, never
refer to their grandmothers as be-
ing old. Grandmother is their “pal”
and certainly they would not want
to place her at any age level.
When asked how old she is, grand-
mother merely says, "Well, I’ve
reached the age when I no longer
I like to go fishing, and I feel real
good cuddled up in my bed under
' the electric blanket.”
Break her spirit? Never. The
modejgi grandmother is here to
stay with all th? enthusiasm of her
I grandchild.
The latest report shows that tele-
vision viewing is at an all - time
high. Viewing time per person for
the week totals 22 hours, 7 minutes,
t This is 20 per cent of one's entire
j waking life. It is clear that this
I newest medium is far more than
j a communications miracle, far
| more than a pleasant way to pass
the leisure hours. It can. and does,
j in many cases, tncluence our ideas
and mold our attitudes as well.
We are being reminded that the
Tornado Season is here and the
following tornado safety rules, out-
lined by the State Health Depart-
ment. will be important to keep
and read over from time to time:
"When a warning is received,
seek inside shelter, preferably in a
steel reinforced building. But stay
away from windows.
If at home, the southwest comer
of the lowest floor or In the base-
ment offers greatest safety. If in
a brick or stone house, you should
seek other shelter. Electricity and
fuel lines should be turned off.
"Windows on the north and east
sides of the house may also be
opened to help reduce damage to
the building.”
“It you have one use your storm
cellar.”
Texas, as well as neighboring
states now operates a tornado de-
tection system headquartering in
Kansas City.
When conditions warrant, the
Kansas City weather bureau alerts
weather bureaus In the affected
area which in turn notify local
newspaper, radio and television sta-
tions.
This announcement is called a
"severe weather alert” and details
the area In which severe weather
may occur.
This does not mean a tornado is
going to occur. It does mean con-
ditions are such that a tornado
could develop.
From this point, the weather bur-
eau, the Ground Observer Corps
and the Department of Public Safe-
ty unite their facilities.
When weather bureau radar
picks up a likely trouble spot, a
DPS patrol car is sent to the lo-
cation for an on - the - scene look
at the sky. j
If a tornado is spotted, the di-
rection, approximate speed and ex-
act losaticn are determined by
both the Highway Patrol and use
of three radars in getting a “fix”
on the trouble spot.
Radio and television stations are
immediately notified.
A "tornado warning” is issued
until an actual tornado has been
sighted and the Sighting verified.
A period of "severe weather alert"
is a time to "prepare for action.”
A “tornado warning,” means "act
and act fast.”

Growing
Things
By MBS. 1. M. BARNHART
Spring, with that nameless path-
os in the air
Which dwells with all things
fair.
Spring, with her golden suns
and silver rain,
Is with us once again.
Henry Timrod
The past few days spring has
really been in the air. Leaves are
popping out on most of the trees
and shrubs. Forsythlas and flow-
ering quinee are beginning to
bloom, and in the beds hyacinths,
daffodils, chionodosas, grape
hyacinths, phlox subulata, pan-
sies and others are bringing color
and cheer to the beds.
There is much to be done now
toward getting our beds ready for
re-setting perennials and later the
planting of seeds. Today I have
planted tuberous root begonias, lat-
er to be set in the bed on the
shady north side of the house, for
summer until frost.
The ideal method of planting
these tubers is to use individual
jiffy pots, made of peatmoss, which
may be set into the beds when the
plants are a few inches high. Lack-
ing these pots however, flats do
very well. Fill the flat, or shallow
box, with peatmoss to a depth of
three inches, then press in the tu-
bers concave side up, until the top
is barely visible.
Place the flats in full light, but
cut of direct sunshine, and keep
the peatmoss slightly moist. They
should be kept in a room with
night temperature of from forty to
fifty degrees, and day temperature
of not higher than seventy de-
grees.
When the tubers have put out
leaves and reached a height of
from three to five inches, they
should be transplanted into wide,
shallow pots or bulb pans. Make
a potting mixture of one-third each
garden soil sand and peatmoss
with a sprinkling of bone meal.
Lift the tubers carefully with a
trowel, keeping the root ball in-
tact, and place the tuber in pot
of mixture with the top about one
inch below the top of the pot. Keep
the soil moist, always watering
from below.
If plants are to be kept in five
pots and sunk in the grewnd they
should again be shifted into six
or eight inch pots. But if they are
to be removed from the pots and
set in the soil, dig a three inch
layer of peatmoss and manure.
Water the bed frequently, being
careful npt to damage the foliage
with a neqvy stream of water
from the hose. A fine mist from a
spray on a hot afternoon will be
beneficiaL After a few weeks of
blooming give a Squid fertiliser.
In the fall gradually reduce the
watering and bring the tubers In-
doors before frost. Lift the plant,
being careful to keep the soil a-
round the tuber. Place in a flat
in a cool room. After the leaves
and stems have dried remove a-
bout three inches above tuber. Sev-
eral w^eks later remove the stems
entirely and store tubers in slight-
ly moist peatmoss, vermiculite or
sand.
It is said that tuberous root be-
gonias will provide more color in
shady locations than any other
flower you can grow. They are
called the "mocking birds of the
floral world” for in any represen-
tative collection of tuberous be-
gonias once can pick out blooms
that closely resemble rosas, car-
nations, camellias, single dahlias*
cockscombs and even daffodils,
and they add a range of colors as
rejnarkable as the range of flow-
er forms.
