The excise tax cut voted by Congress on
your long distance telephone calls is good
news.
It means that Long Distance calls now cost
less than before April 1 — 12% less, in most
cases.
You get the full benefit of the tax cut. Not a
penny goes to the telephone company.
That makes long distance an even bigger
bargain.

clinic and workshop held by the
Highland Garden Club Tuesday af-
ternoon in the recreation room of
the West Sweetwater housing proj-
ect. Hostesses were Mmes. W. O.
Miller, F. S. Bleck, and Ellis Mc-
Junkins.
Mrs. Dewey Wilson presided for
business.
Best Containers
Mrs. McJunkins discussed the
best containers and vases or bases
for use with various types of flower
arrangements. She stressed the
fact that bold, vivid flowers are
not their best in china, and that
fragile flowers are ill at ease in
rough pottery.
"Heavy, rugged containers are
appropriate for field flowers," she
said. "Vases or containers of
copper, brass, polished wood, or
glass accommodate the in-be-
tween flowers."
Four Rules
Mrs. Wilson discussed prepara-
tion for a flower show. Four basic
rules should be followed, she said.
One is to study the schedule, the
second is to know how to condition
flowers, the third is to use the
handbook, and the fourth is to
study the point system for better
horticulture and flower arrange-
ment and each was criticized by
the group. Mass and line arrange-
ments were made by the group.
Social Hour
At the social hour, refreshments
of hot spiced tea, salted nuts, and
white cake were served from a
table laid with a Nile green cloth.
The centerpiece was a crescent ar-
rangement of pin lorabundarse
rangement of pink florabunda
roses.
Mrs. Bleck served the tea, Mrs.
McJunkins the cakc. Pink roses
were plate favors.
Attending were Miss Sophie Klas
and Mmes. W. C. Henson, F, B.

lins, J. F. Hendrix, Dick Althof,

Junkins.
Horseshoe crabs, found along the
Atlantic seaboard, are more close-
ly related to scorpions and spiders
than to true crabs. The ancestry
of these primitive creatures goes
back more than 300 million years.
The seagoing service on British
railways includes 127 modern ves-
sels, many carrying automobiles,
providing a day and night service
on 14 routes to the continent car-
rying 17 million passengers a year.
