The ladies also launched plans for their third annual plant sale set for Saturday, May 10, to be held at the community center. This is an affair that all gar­ deners look forward to, for purchasing new plantings for their spring gardens. The club president, Mrs. Gladys Erickson, reminded your reporter that all gardeners do not have to be "big dirt gar­ deners" to enjoy growing things, Condo gardeners can enjoy all sorts of projects, from flower pot gardens to "Gutter Gardening", the latest. All that is needed is the desire to beautify your surroundings .The enjoyment can be doubled by sharing the love of, and the know how of gardening with others. Anyone interested in joining the Garden Gals may contact the membership chairman, Mrs. Fred Erickson of 917 Oakwood Drive. Just a reminder, that Saturday March 15, is the St. Patrick Pot-luck" at the Whispering Oaks community center. Those lucky enough to have attended many of the famous pot-luck suppers before will be eager to attend. Supper will be served at 6:30 p.m. and an evening of fun is planned for later.

HELPING .PAWS 815-459-2641 by Nancy Hanson The Egyptians were the first people in history to have I REMEMBER THE SOOE OLE SATS & From jean Rols Laamanen, Baraga, Michigan: I remember when as a child in 1918 I heard bells and sirens blasting The noise was so loud you couldn't hear anyone talking 1 had been playing house in the back yard. I ran in the house crying and I screamed to my mother. "What is happening?" "Is the world coming to an end?" "No, my child," she answered "This is a wonderful day One that you will never forget The war is over Soon your two uncles will be coming home from Fran­ ce. There will be no more fighting." She had tears in her eyes. This was around eleven o'clock in the morning. We had a hurried lunch, and the rest of the afternoon was spent in town There were parades, laughter, and everyone was so happy. What a wonderful day. This was sup­ posed to be the end of all wars We came home and we were so happy to wait for our two uncles to come home safe Wouldn't these people that rejoiced so that this was the end of ail wars turn in their graves to see that these wars still keep on going on and on?

THERMOMETER A meat thermometer is the best way to tell when a roast is done. Place it as near to the center as possible, in the thickest part of the roast. The tip should not touch bone or fat. Generally, beef is considered rare when roasted to 140 degrees, medium at 160 and well done at 170. domesticated cats. They caught and tamed the Kffir cat, a small, wild cat found in Asia and Africa. To the Egyptians, cats were sacred and were worshipped. These cats made their way to England and Scotland and mated with the native cats there, producing the breed of shorthair cats now common in Europe and America. This breed, although descendants of royal ancestry, are referred to as alley cats. Persians or Angoras have long hair and originated in Turkey. Manx cats have little or no tail. They are from the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea. Sailors probably brought these cats to America as presents for their wives or sweethearts. Before 1900, Siamese cats were only owned by Siamese Kings and Priests. These cats have dark brown faces, ears, legs, and tails on a pale fawn body and deep blue eyes, There are some brown Siamese cats. Calico cats refer to tortoise shell, three-colored catsr. The female is generally tortoise shell with patches of black, orange, and cream. The male is almost always red or sandy. The Tabby cats come from Atabi, a street in Bagdad, where moire silk was made. The silk was called atabi (later taffeta) and the markings on these cats were said to resemble the atabi silk. Helping Paws is begging for volunteers to take in an animal until it can be adopted.
