^'Potio
Patio is Focal
Point For Homos
In Southwost
Though the South and West in
many areas have adopted the patio
as their very own, many people
never even consider its original
purpose, nor do they plan the patio
to provide comfortable relaxation
in privacy during warm weather.
If the patio is not to be Just
another sun-baked area, cool, in-
formal plantings are necessary.
Vines add an attractive point of
interest. Variously-shaped and dif-
ferently-colored foliages provide
interesting contrasts. Plants like
caiadiums, ferns, banana plant, hy-
drangea, azalea and camellia
planted tn successive groups have
striking effects, according to the
Texas Association of Nurserymen.
The patio must have shade. Mi-
mosa red oak and sedar, as well as
other trees are commonly planted
especially for patios. In planting
shade trees leave a three or four-
foof circular bed at the base of
the tree, where white caiadiums,
ferns or similar plants may be
used with brilliant effect. Excavate
the bed a foot deep and add peat
moss and manure or either one as
recommneded by your nursery-
man.
Many of use have seen patios
and terraces beautifully construct-
ed but built right up to the found-
ation of the home or garage, with-
out any space for plant beds that
“soften” the area. If this is the
case, plants in containers or boxes
may be used.
To be most practical the patio
should be convenient to the back
door, or side of the house where it
will be used often. If it is 90 or 79
feet away, it may be too much
trouble to get to and to carry
things in hot weather. The excep-
tion to this may be the special
patio or outdoor living room for
broiling steaks, and general out-
door living and picnicking. Such an
area, which may be used only oc-
casionally, is usually larger and
often located farther away from
the house, so that it becomes a
plehsant family adventure to ptp
nic there. In this case, the floor
of the area is a cool lawn, with
garden beds and trees much as in
the smaller patio.
The well-planned -patio should
be cooler in summer and warmer
in winter. The plants can be ar-
ranged to accomplish this by chan-
neling breezes in the hot months
and by diverting them in cold
weather. Consult with your nurs-
eryman in planning your particu-
lar location.

ment has placed four looms, and
the Auxiliary recently has purch-
ased another loom. There are 13
weavers, 9 of whom Tai*e totally
blind, and 3 are practically blind.
These men work 8 hours every
