MAILING DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS ELM DISEASE The spread of Dutch Elm disease, the plague that has swept through Illinois and destroyed nearly three-fourths of the American elm trees since 1950, is now being held in check in many communities. Dr. J. C. Carter, head of the Section of Applied Botany and Plant Pathology at the Natural History Survey, reports that in 39 cities and park districts in the Greater Chicago area where recommended control measures have been used, elm tree losses in the last decade were held to 2 percent or less a year. Meanwhile, in several cities without control programs annual lpsses ranged from four to 19 percent. Research studies have demonstrated that a control program can be effective if the sanitation practices include removal and destruction of disease trees, spraying trees with an insecticide and treating grafted tree roots with a soil sterilant to keep the disease fungus from spreading through root systems. Saltation and sprayingpractices control the bark beetles that carry the disease.

And probably the most wanted practical gift of all is an electric dishwasher. Nothing else she can own saves her so many endless hours of drudgery. Come to think of it, how could a gift be more personal, or look prettier to her? With just a flick of a switch a dishwasher washes, rinses, and dries ... all automatically. Glasses, dishes, and flatware come out sparkling, without water spots or towel streaks. Everything is washed and rinsed in water hotter than hands . . . even gloved hands . . . can stand. Then it's dried in pure, clean, electrically heated air that's far more sanitary than any dish towel. You can now get a portable dishwasher, if you like, that does every bit as good a job. Portables need no plumbing connections, and they can be permanently installed in a new kitchen later. You'll be surprised how little it costs to give your wife the happiness that comes with a new electric dishwasher. See the built-in and portable -models at your electric appliance dealer's now. And a Merry Christmas to you both. % <3 Commonwealth Edison Company \ © C. E. Co.
