p - l . l t Here Rnd There In Business Life Underwriters in Sales Congress Woffy Aids Home Purchase WOFFY, the resuce dog, will be appearing at various locations throughout the county in the next few months as the McHeriry County Board of Realtors intensifies its efforts to make the public aware of the many available methods of financing a home purchase. Potential buyers and sellers have been subjected to so much negative in­ formation about housing that many feel a home purchase is out of the question at the present time. The purpose of WOFFY (Ways Of Finan­ cing For You) is to acquaint these people with the fact that, although current in­ terest rates on new mor­ tgages are at 17 or 18 per­ cent, most current home sales are transacted at a far lower interest rate. Many people who think they cannot buy or sell a home right now could ac­ tually do so if they were aware of alternative methods of financing. The realtors hope to make WOFFY a familiar name throughout the county through the use of buttons, bumper stickers, contests, pamphlets, seminars for buyers and sellers, and personal appearances by , the WOFFY mascot. Ruth Lynott of Cary is directing a volunteer staff of realtors in carrying out the campaign. Information about WOFFY can be ob­ tained from any Realtor.

PAGE • - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, MARCH U, 1182 GARDEN . Sweet Olive Flowers Into Fragrance The ,sweet olive is not 7 -i' / \i- Popeye's girlfriend but an niv/ ty^A. SZl, A1 'V-' evergreen tree or shrub native to China and Japan which boasts dark green leaves and small, fragrant white flowers. Sweet olive is most fre­ quently seen in greenhouse cultivation. In cool climates it is sometimes used as a wall shrub but more com­ monly as hedging in mild climates. Propagation is by late summer cuttings placed under glass in the shade. The shrub does well in sunny or half-shade loca­ tions, but should be away from direct wind and some­ what sheltered; likes loamy soil. The spiny stems of the rat's tail cactus do look somewhat like rat tails. The free-flowering pot plant is popular for hanging baskets and terraces because it also boasts showy, vermillion- hued flowers at intervals on the spiny stems. Stem cuttings placed in ordinary soil with peat and washed sand (in summer) should be watered gener­ ously, but watering should be discontinued for several weeks after flowering. A fairly humid atmosphere is needed during winter and sparse watering is required. A semi-sunny location is best during summer; a sunny location indoors in winter.
