Protecting plants from the
most dangerous and brazen win-
ter pest, the wild rabbit, con-
cerns most gardeners. Rabbits
thrive now in cities as else-
where. Dogs and cats work only
on a direct-contact basis, which
the rabbit learns cjuickly to
avoid. He works at night in
winter when many pets are in-
doors. He thrives among his
enemies and devours what man
plants. Rabbits relish the follow-
ing: most maples, fruit trees,
pyracanthas. dogwoods, euony-
mus. most pines. Norway spruce,
and Chinese elm. Vacant lots al-
lowed to grow up in high weeds,
grass and brush are havens for
rabbits.
Wrapping newspapers around
the trunk of young trees will
help but do not leave it on
when spring arrives to protect
insects. The University of Penn-
sylvania has carried on experi-
ments on rabbit repellents and
developed several chemicals but
they have disadvantages and are
somewhat dangerous. A fairly
effective homemade repellent
can be easily made by dissolving
two pounds of rosin in a quart
of denatured elhyl alcohol. It
may be brushed on if desired.
Surfaces to which it is applied
should be dry. It may take sev-
eral applications during the win-
ter but it may save some young
trees or ornamentals.

It is time to plant roses and
shrubs. Study your location,
water supply, and select those
that will enhance your land-
scape. It is smart to develop a
labor-saving landscape by secur-
ing shrubs that survive with
little water and have few insect
enemies and diseases.
* * ♦
Pruning of trees and shrubs is
done for various reasons. One
thing to remember is to prune
shrubs to branch from the
gound up. Some people make the
mistake of pruning shrubs to
look like little trees. When to
prune an established flowering
shrub is often a question in the
mind of gardeners. A good rule
is, those that bloom in the
spring on wood of the previous
year's growth are pruned in late
spring or early summer - that is,
immediately after blooming is
over so they can throw out new
growth and buds for next year's
bloom. Those that bloom later,
on growth of the current year,
are generally pruned in late
winter or early spring before
growth starts but late enough to
eliminate any portions injured
during cold weather. However,
if you are one who can't remem-
ber when to prune or are afraid
to try. a fairly safe practice is to
prune any shrub right after
flowering is over. Pyracantha
may bsupruned after berries
drop. No one can tell you exact-
ly what you should do in regard
to pruning. Study your plant,
its shape, location, rate of
growth, fruiting time, climate,
and then practice until you
learn to judge what is best.
* ♦ * ♦
Guard against the Christmas
cold. Fatague, too much food and
rot the right kind, tension, and
excitement all are factors in
lowering body resistance to the
common cold. Start with a good
wholesome breakfast every day.
Eat at regular times as much as
possible. Keep in-between snacks
simple. Eat fruits and vegetables
too.

press our appreciation for your

ness duing the illlness and the

The shop windows downtown
are taking on a festive air. When
you pick up your mail, you
feel that Santa has been there.
The Variety Store has almost
any knick-knack that you might
use for decorating or gift giving.
The grocery stores have a supply
of candy canes. Women all over
town are picking up all sorts of
weeds and buying cans of spray
paint.
The churches, schools and civic
groups are planning parties.
Choirs are practicing contatas
and children are looking at
catalogues and being strangely
good. Some people have already
finished their shopping. Very
soon now all the homes will
smell of cedar and cinnamon.
Everyone will be smiling. Christ-
mas is a beautiful season. I just
love it.
Christmas nas always been a
beautiful time to me. When I
was a little girl, it was the big
event of the year. On Christmas
Eve. Mother would be in the
kitchen, baking. There was al-
ready fudge, divinity and date
loaf tc eat. Daddy would be in
the living room sitti-g in his
big rocker. His shoes would be
sitting on the hearth and a roar-
ing fire would make everything
look wonderful in the soft light.
An enormous decorated t r ee
would stand in the corner of our
small living room. My two sis-
ters and I would be in the dining
room wrapping gifts and whis-
pering secrets and giggling.
When the gifts were wrapped
and the baking done, we would
all sit in front of the fire and
"bake our feet." Mother would
warm a blanket and then we
would open the door to our icy
bedroom and hop into an ice
cold bed. Mother would wrap
the warm blanket around our
feet. You could see your breath
freeze in the air and every time
you would get brave enough to
move a leg or arm, you would
immediately move it back to the
warm place. We always had a
hard time going to sleep on
Christmas Eve, but it wasn't
any problem to get up. We were
usually awake about 3:00 a.m.
and up looking to see what Santa

had brought. We had our stock-
ings hung on three little nails
on the mantel. They were always
stuffed with fruit, nuts, candy
and chewing gum. Under the
tree would be toys and usually
a warm robe or houseshoes,
which came in very handy.
Christmas Day was spent at
Granny's house with all the
aunts and uncles and cousins.
Granny always made all of us
something and Grampa would
give us all a bag of gum drops
and sugar candy.
All of this has changed for
me, but the memory of a happy
home will never be forgotten.
It is my sincere desire that every
parent in our town may make
this season a happy one for their
children. If you have no tradi-
tions, start some this year.
Your children will love it. What-
ever your financial circum-
stances, with a little imagination
you can make this a "Merry
Christmas."
