Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 21, 1929) Miss Harriet Thielfc entertained a group of her schoolmates and friends at a delightful St. Patrick's party at her home on Richmond road. A jolly evening was spent playing bunco. At the close of the games some very interesting moving pictures were shown. The pictures were a novel entertainment. Those attending were Ruth Nye, Wanda Smith, Lois Bacon, Anita Bacon, Rollo Chamberlin, Bob Peterson, Claire Kinsey, Eugene Sa^er and Harding Thiele. A new roof is* being put on the Lutheran church this week. The annual appeal for the Salvation Army will take place under the chairmanship of Mrs. J.E. Wheeler during the week of March 22 to 30.

Donald crept out on the ice and held his companion's head above water and screamed for help until a passing motorist came to his aid. William Vogel, father of Donald, was a former lineotype operator at the Plaindealer. The Hamilton Hair Cutting Shoppe is the name of a new establishment which will be opened in the Pries building on Monday, March 25. The Hamilton Shoppe will be exclusively for women and children.

Route 120 c Henry From The Farm KNOW YOUR SEED I.Q. When buying seed you need to know your PLS - "Pure Live Seed." Here's the way to figure Pure Live Seed. Miltiply the percent of the pure crop seed times the germination percentage and divide by 100. For example, if seed lot "A" costs $9.00 per 100 pounds, germination is 90 percent and purity is 99.50 percent. 90 x 99.50 equals 89.55 Pure Live Seed. $9.00 divided by 89.55 equals $10.05. This then, $10.05, is the real cost of the 100 lbs. of seed. If seed lot "B" costs $7.00 per 100 pounds, and germination is 60 percent, and purity is 93 percent, then 60 x 93 equals 55.8 Pure Live Seed. $7.00 divided by 55.8 equals $12.54. This $12.54 is, then, the real cost of the 100 pounds of seed. YARDLIGHTS - "GOOD INVESTMENT" A mercury-vapor yardlight may be the best protection a homeowner - especially those in unlighted housing subdivisions - can buy to prevent nighttime falls and keep prowlers away. WED. APRIL 2, 1969 - PLAINDEALER-PG. 15 A 250 to 400-watt mercury bulb with rated life of 16,000 hours will illuminate a large area. - The light fixtures have a built-in photoelectric control that automatically turns the light on at dusk and off in the morning. Many electric companies have rental plans. The company installs and maintains the light and homeowners pay a small monthly charge. LAWN FERTILITY "April showers bring May flowers" - and if lawn fertilizer is applied now, in March, they can bring green lawns too. For best growth on lawns, apply 15 to 20 pounds of, a 10-6-4, 1-8-6 or similar fertilizer per 1,000 square feet of lawn. Use only 10 to 15 lbs. of a 20-10-5, 15-5-5,* 16-8-8 or other high nitrogen fertilizer per 1,000 square feet.

FAMILY DOCTORSPECIALIST You have heard it said by some that the specialist is a costly waste; that the family doctor is quite sufficient. Or you have heard exactly the reverse. Neither view is correct. In modern practice each fits in with the other, each is essential to the healing equation. The family doctor is the hub of the medical wheel. He comes first, and often you need go no further. But when he feels the need, when he thinks his patient is not responding as he should, - it is he who in his wisdom and experience reaches out for the rim of healing through the spokes, the various specialists available to him. Why the specialist? Because he wants to assure himself of the best for you. The body of medical knowledge resulting from advances in research is so great that it DEMANDS specialization. The specialist, after graduating medical school, has devoted many more years in study and practice to his chosen field. And since he concentrates on nothing else, he sees a little further and a little deeper. Sometimes specialists will group together as a clinic, and the sum total of their knowledge is indeed greater than any single individual could possess.
