PACK 14 I'l.AINDEALER - FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11.1981 Gardening Tools Make Ideal Holiday Gifts December is a good time to take stock of the tools and gardening equipment you own and determine what additions you will require next spring for your home garden. Gardening tools also make a perfect addition to your holiday shopping list, advises James D. Hayward, executive secretary of the Illinois State Nurserymen's Association (ISNA). When it comes to tools, buy only the best quality you can find, Hayward said. "Tools that are not well designed and well made waste your time and effort and may fail when needed most. Never buy cheap tools no matter how bright the paint, shiny the chrome or attractive the price. Cheap tools, in the long run, are the most expensive," he said. Choose garden tools that suit your height, weight and strength, he advised. If the tool is too heavy, you'll never want to pick it up and it will languish unused. For example, a pair of hand pruning shears, preferably the scissor-type. is an essentia] for any' garden. It's valuable for' cutting branches a half-inch: in size and smaller. For removing branches up to 11 z inches in diameter, a pair of lopping shears will provide the necessary leverage and make the job easier. Whatever type of shears you buy and use, don't abuse it, Hayward said. The most common mistake is to overload a pair of shears with a size branch it simply wasn't designed to cut. This can result in sprung shears and a torn and bruised branch. A small, thin pruning saw, Hayward said, should also be in every too) shed for making larger cuts on trees and shrubs. You can use a pruning saw to do fine trimming on ornamental and fruit trees and to remove storm-damaged limbs or dead wood. "The most important thing in selecting tools is to use the right tool for the right job," Hayward said PFC. DAVID E. QUIST Pfc. David E. Quist, son of Mr. and Mrs.Donald E.

I fell and broke my hip and now I have some steel pins in my hip. This is not a question really. It is a warning not to step on rice kernels." -- Isable H. A. Isabel's story is not as unusual as we may think There are many instances of accident from slipping on rice kernels tossed at newlyweds marching from the church. Friends throw rice by the handful and the church's stone or cement walks become strewn with a hazard that can cause well- wishers to slip and fall. In older people the danger of broken bones from such a fall is great. I spoke with the rector of Christ Church in W i n n e t k a , 1 1 1 . , t h e R e v . Frank McClain. He said: "I ask the members of wedding parties at our church not to throw rice after the ceremony. It is too dangerous It causes both young and old to slip and fall. Rice on a walk is just as dangerous as ice. We have had no accidents outside the church entrance since we have been successful in persuading members of wedding parties not to toss rice." Q. -- "The Social Security system should be changed to fit the times. S.S payments should be paid also by women who are housewieves, who work at home. They then would be eligible for benefits on their own account from S.S. When, in their later years, these women receive S S benefits, it will be a pension they earned by their labor of love and in caring for their husband and children, not because they were married to a man who works Don't you agree0" -- Ada M. A. -- I agree It seems only fair. Work in a home is just as important to a family as work in factory or office. If housewives paid into the Social Security system, they would have an inalienable right to a pension income, not as a wife dependent on a husband, but as a worker who paid her way. The time may not yet be at hand to put the idea into practice, but it is bound to come someday if housewives everywhere will only write their legislators Q. -- "The White House Conference on Aging took place in Washington, D.c. Nov. 30 Dec. 3. I hope they accomplish something that will help us older people, but I doubt that they can if the delegates to the conference are anything like one of them I know She is a woman of 57 who is well educated and able as an administrator, but she doesn't know anything within herself about aging. Only those who are past 65 can know in their guts how it feels to grow old. "What elders need is representation by elders. Then we might get some place in working out some relief for senior citizens. Young peopie of 57 don't know what it means to be 70, which is how old I am.'- -- Jack S A - While a well- intentioned man or woman of 57 may not know what it means to be old, such a person is better than none as a conferee in Washington. The way to correct possible misuse of representation is to make great effort to be represented by elders who arc old enough to know what it means to be old, to have the gut feeling of old age.
