HOME DESIGN No. 609) | building up for months as color GARDEN GUIDE By A. R. BUCKLEY Plant Research Institute Visitors to the Plant Research Institute's Ornamental Garden last year will remember seeing the wide ribbons of blazing sca- riet sage on the east side of the walk leading through the lilacs from the. Macoun Mem- orial Garden. These formed the main plantings of forty-one dif- ferent varieties of annual sal- vias, which were evaluated dur- ing the summer, The scarlet sage (Salvia spl- endens) has in the past been held in disrepute because of its blazing scarlet color, which do- esn't blend at all well with other plants, and its inability to produce uniform plants. For many years breeders confined their attention to raising vari- eties that were more consist- ent in habit and compact in growth, but they ignored com- pletely the glaring scarlet color. In England just before the Second World War a new race of salvias with much more sub- tle coloring was introduced. This was the Welwyn strain, which blended well with almost any color in the mixed border. The- se originated on a private es- tate in England and were rem- arkable for their trueness to type and color. However, gard- eners either failed to reco the potential of these hybrids or found the plants not. suff- iciently uniform for bedding of edging. The new salvias were soon forgotten and never be- came poplar. PASTEL SHADES About ten years ago interest in the pastel shades of salvias revived. Growers and breeders once more developed the less dazzling and more neighborly colors. A final agceptance came in 1964 when the All Ameri- can Selection awarded the Bron- ze Medal to Evening Glow, a pastel pink salmon. Stimulated By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- What happens when the family tele- vision set converts to color? It may be old stuff to some people, but color television is brand-new at our house. Santa Ciaus lost his head and brought a 2l-incher on the easy view- now, pay-later plan. The idea wasn't entirely Santa's. Pressure had been antennae sprouted on rooftops all over the neighborhood. Com- ments were dropped: 'Gee, wvouldn't this show be beautiful in color!" As weeks went by, the comments grew less casual and more determined. American economy -- the teen- agers--brought the issue to a Christmas climax. It is some- thing of 'a fad to meet at the home of a color - set owner and watch The -Man From U.N.C.L.E. on Friday night or the Saturday night movie. How are you going to keep the kids at home? Buy a color television. What has happened is that we | watch television more. TV Fascination Rekindled After Color Sets Arrived Remember those days of tele- Vision when you were fascinated by anything, even test patterns? That's the way it is with color. We flip past the drab black-and- white channels and focus on co- lor, any color, Even commer- cials. Suddenly commercials are in- teresting. The ear is still re- pelled, but the eye is delighted by the varied hues. Especially good are the gleaming new cars speeding along the landscape and the menthol cigarette ads playing against emerald fields or turquoise bays. Old shows appear in a new guise. You suddenly see why Bo- nanza is so popular. Flipper be- came a visual delight. The mu- sical exercises of Dean Martin and Andy Williams improve by a few light-years. Ditto the old movies, All this no doubt will pass. jcolor is rendered even more| C0 | Pierre Boucher, a land owner The eye will grow accustomed to the tints ,and the brain will) once more be deadened by the sameness of the shows.

FIRST AID TO WATER HAMMER IN PIPES) QUESTION: Could you repeat the item you had on what to do for water hammer in pipes? I lost it. Every time we shut a faucet there is 3 a thumping noise. pipe possesses momentum ( desire to continue in motion). When the flow is stopped by closing a faucet, the momentum, must be taken up. Special water hammer aborbing units or air chambers are available at plumbing supplies houses. Have your plumber install this. Or have him attach a vertical length of pipe, about three feet long and capped at one end, so that it extends above the high- est point in the pipe line in the house. Thus, whenever the mov- ing colum of water is brought to a stop, it will go beyond the last faucet, and into the dead end extension. This will com- press the air in the pipe exten- =/ cording to manufacturer's jabei AILING HOME Have the floor sanded smooth \and level, then wipe up all dust. Because of imperfections in the wood appearance, recommend two or three thin coats of top | quality floor paint or floor enamel. Thin the first coat ac- instructions. If you want to be extra careful, seal the knots with special knot sealer, shellac for aluminum paint, But since the floor is now over 10 years old, this shouldn't be necessary. With a younger house, this would be} |a definite consideration, RUBBING ALCOHOL ON TILE QUESTION: How could I get rubbing alcohol stains out of as- phalt tile? I've tried scouring powder and ammonia, but they don't. do any good. ANSWER: The alcohol prob- ably deteriorated the surface of the asphalt tile. Rinse the affect- ed area thoroughly with clear], water, to remove all trace of sion and bring the water to a gentle, silent stop -- the same) way air brakes work. If not corrected, the vibration) of pipes caused by water ham-| mer subjects the system to extra wear and. tear, often resulting} in leaks ain piping or tanks. FINISHING NO. 2 FLOORING QUESTION: When we pur- chased this house about 10 years ago, the attic floor we put down, 60 we could use that area for More convenient storage, was No. 2 pine flooring. We left this "as was". plan to use part of the attic as a sewing room, and for an occasional guest. How can the floor be finished and made more attractive - looking? ANSWER: Usually No. 2 floor- ing has large knots and surface imperfections. Any cracks be- tween boards can be filled with plastic wood or crack filler, available at paint, hardware and variety stores; or use a mixture of sawdust and varnish to fill the cracks. Before filling the cracks, vacuum all dust out. cleaning materials, then wipe dry. Apply several coats of self- polishing wax, being sure each \is completely dry before putting jon next, | PAINT PEELS OFF PORCH QUESTION: We enclosed the area under our front porch, to use it for storage. The wood porch: floor is in excellent con- dition, but the paint has been peeling off soon after apply it for the past few years, I've been removing all peeling paint and using top quality deck paint, but it doesn't stay. How can we} correct this? ANSWER: I assume you are having the trouble with the peel- ing paint since enclosing the area under the porch. Moisture accumulating under the paint film is the usual cause of peel- ing. Since enclosing the under- neath, there is probably insuf- ficient air circulation. There- fore, trapped dampness works against the floor's unfinished un- derside. This should be correct- 'ed by installing louvers or vents 725-6553 RENT-A-CAR DAY -- WEEK -- MONTH '5.00 PER Le RUTHERFORD' Ss CAR AND TRUCK RENTALS PLUS LOW > pasa CHARGE HE WAS ONLY ONE IN STEP CHANDLER, Ariz.

The zoo announced Thurs- day that Public Service Co. of New Mexico, an electric utility, had bought for an undisclosed price one of seven paintings the two go- rillas have produced. Earlier one painting sold for $1,000 and another also sold for an _ undisclosed amount, Zoo officials hope the paintings will raise $15,000, the price the zoo agreed to pay on a buy-now, pay-later basis for the two young go- rillas and a third which has not yet been delivered. Subtie Coicrs Deveioped In Once-Blazing Salvias by this recognition, breeders be- gan to concentrate on toning down the scarlet sage and intro- ducing newer and more diverse colors, Although the beds in the orn- amental grounds were domin- ated by the more dazzling mem- bers of the salvia tribe, toward the ends of the beds the rib- gnize |bons became softer in color un- til almost complete pink was reached. In other beds the new- er colors were very much in evidence and ranged from al- most white to deep, deep wine purple. Scarlet salvias still have a place in gardens for edging and where, with no competition, a large bed may be displayed with a background of ever greens. Here the emphasis is on uniformity and abundance of flowers. It is rather ironic that despite all the newer varieties available in this color, of those tested this year the old blaze of Fire, which originated be- fore 1940, gained the topmost rating. It seemed to have im- proved in uniformity and with its intense coloring it could not fail to catch the eye. Other blazing salvias that ra- ted highly were Piccolo, 12 to 14 to 16 inches; Red Pillar, 16 to 18 inches high. All these were of very uniform growth, were very floriferous, and had a. striking, brilliant scarlet color. No plants excepi Borifire were higher than 18 in- ches, but this variety, although once very popular, rated very low because of its lack of uni-| formity. The top-rating pastel-colored| Salvia was Pink Rouge, which is nearest to pink of them all purplish cast seen in many oth-| jers. It also is a splended bed-| der because it only grows to 15 inches and all the plants are of uniform size. Barbara grows to only 12 inches. Its coral blooms have an orange corolla that gives them a touch of dis- tinction, When mixed in a bed }with the variety White Fire its |striking. Burgundy is a deep plum- jpurple salvia with very large flowers, but its height, up to jtoo mush when it's with the other pastel shades.

It seldom gets high- er than 6 inches, has a light salmon-pink coloring and is of very uniform growth. During late summer the most sublime display in the garden was the white and blue Salvia farinacea varieties that blend- ed with the pastel pink and blue of the nearby dwarf mound perennial asters. Varieties that produced this fine spectacle were Blue Bedder, light blue; Royal Blue, of a darker hue; Royal White, sparkling white; and White Bedder, pure white, All plants of this type of salvia grow from 26 to 46 inches high anu have soft gray-green leaves, groups where their height shows to best advantage. 14 inches high; Early Fireball, | It contains very little of the | | makes it stand out) mixed) so they are best planted in large | Flarepath, 15) inches; Hot Jazz, 13 inches; and | anne AL rari Ai ea MONTREAL: (CP)--A farm community founded 300 years ago on a nearby island is dis- appearing and within five years To A Communiiy in Five dun will also be the scene of a major tial development sponsored by Chicago interests.

Plans include $75,000,000 to be spent in the next five years with a total in excess of $200,000,000 within 20 years, for high-rise apartments, a hotel, motel and other residential units. The is- land is 700 acres. Nun's Island in suburban Ver- cial and resid will be an integrated commu- nity of 10,000 persons. "Behind the $40,000,000 develop- ment under construction on Ile Charron in the St. Lawrence River next to Montreal Island is a group of French-Canadian businessmen who had an eye open for a real estate develop- ment. The island of approximately two square miles, one of 12 known as Boucherville islands, caught the imagination of Mi- chel Decarie and three other |* businessmen when the Quebec government announced in 1962 that a tunnel would be built to the island, and a bridge from the island to the south shore of the St. Lawrence. The $50,000,000 project, part of the Trans-Canada Highway, will be completed late this year or early in 1967. The group purchased the {s- land from the Jesuit religious order for an undisclosed sum and last year their plans and those of a developer, Cartier Enterprises Inc., were approved by municipal council in Jacques warner, a@ suburb on the south snore, WILL HAVE ROAD LINK By the end of this year five apartments with 155 suites will be completed and instead. of getting to the mainland by boat, the residents will be able to drive over a bridge to the south shore or drive through the tun- nel to Montreal. Since last year things have bees moving at a frantic pace, said Mr. Decarie, and he hopes to see dozens of apartments and a shopping centre on the island | within five years. Jacques Cartier council is also enthusiastic about the proj- lect and this year will spend $400,000 to provide essential | services for the buildings under construction, with a further $900,000 to add to these over the next four years. The other islands, mainly in suburban Boucherville, became a tightly controlled farming community 300 years ago when and farmer, gained contro] of | them. PLAN DEVELOPMENT Extensive developments are Planned for the other islands, now used mainly by summer residents, and urban planner Jean-Claude La Haye, an asso- ciate of Mr, Decarie, sees a day when all the islands will be con- nected and opened up.
