The outer shells of nuts
may give hints on the qua-
lity inside. Pick clean, bright
shells; they are most likely
to contain good kernels.
Shells that are dirty, dull,
stained or cracked are some-
times indicative of defective
kernels. The heavier the nuts,
the meatier the kernel. Un-
shelled nuts, often marked
with lower prices, require
about two pounds to yield one
pound of nutmcals. Shelled
nuts, however, save time, la-
bor and storage space. Shel-
led nuts keep best in airtight
containers in the refrigerator,
or even up to a year in the
freezer.

RJenks to leave the tree alone. The
Jjjudgc said the tree was owned not
«n two separate halves but jointly, rvev. .—.wv.,
swilh neither owner entitled to de- cording to an article by Clyde
gstroy the properly rights of the
Kother
m This is the law’s usual attitude
Btoward natural growth that hap-
ftpens to be located on a boundary
Inline. Based on simple practical-
•pi(y, the rule generally applies not
f'lOnly to trees but to hedges as well
n Still, the rule may bend with
^circumstances. Take this situa-
tion:
A boundary line hedge between
otwo homes began to get top-
f rheavy One of the home owners
^rented an electric shear and cut
fcthe hedge down low. His neigh-
I'bor promptly filed suit for dam-
fcages, accusing him of cutting
Kaway part of their jointly-owned
^property without permission,
t But the court, unable to discern
^any damage, turned down the
' neighbor’s claim. The court point-
bed out that the hedge, trimmed
Sdown, was actually in better con-
pdition than it had been before.
Occasionally even a total de-
struction by one of the co-owners
#may be justified. In another case,
»the roots of an old poplar had
split the foundation of one of the
adjacent houses. Overhead, the
branches had grown dangerously
brittle Lopping off the roots and
. «j branches, according to a tree ex-
pert, could well cause the whole
tree to topple over.
This time, a court ruled that
the tree could be destroyed alto-
gether The court said the victim
£of a nuisance has the right to
^abate it—and this tree could
fairly be classified as a nuisance

"The Christmas Story" will
be the sermon subject at the
morning wordhip service of
the First Christian Church on
Sunday, Dec. 20.
“We want to look back and
give thanks to the Electra
Young Folk singing group un-
der the direction of Mrs. G,
L. Beebe," Rev. Victor Her-
shiser, pastor, said this week
in making the announcement.
“They are a fine group of
entertainers and they did
make the program of the
Hanging of the Greens a me-
morable occasion," he contin-
ued.
The Sunday evening service
at the church on Dec. 20 will
be for the children. They will
load it, and Miss Myrtle Rus-
sell will present a devotional
story.
Following the program
which will begin at 5:30 p.m.
will be the presentation of
White Gifts and Offerings.
. Then Santa will appear and
gifts will be given and ex- ;

Chesnult his closing para-
graph was in three words
Advent Accents Readiness.
The season bugles the Chris-
tian to prepare for action.
Our leader already stands
among us engaging the ene-
my. He calls us to follow, to
obey, to fight. No excuses -
I haven’t time, I feel un-
prepared, Someone else can
do it better - are acceptable.
It’s too late. The order to
advance has been issued. In
the game of hide and seek,
one child closes his eyes while
others run to hide. He counts
ten, then shouts, Ready or not,
here I come."
He concluded, “Advent re-
minds us: In the beauty of
the Christmas birth, the ago-
ny ot Good Friday’s cross,
and the triumph of Easter's
whether you are ready
nr not- God Has Come."

a Watson had a special affection

j the boundary line of his property.
5 But Jenks, the man next door,
' considered it an eyesore. One day

Watson hastened into court for

Wenks stood firm.
