Pickney Jr., noted landscape architects supervisor of the Floriculture division at the fair. Some of the prize-winning displays were done in orchids, roses, chrysanthemums, tropical flowers, gladiolus, carnations and a great variety of other flowers. The orchid display, in the left wing of the Floricultural building, has a background of tropical plants with a 12-foot waterfall which was designed by Pickney. Hundreds of orchids of various varieties were used to make this beautiful exhibit. The Galley of Flowers features a Victorian home covered with roses of all kinds. Clarence Amling of Amling's Roses Inc., of Santa Ana won two blue ribbons in this section for his large and polyantha (baby roses).

The screen depicted the four seasons with the chrysanthemum grouped appropriately in front of the screen. Three growers are represented in this section. The tropical displays by two growers of Strelitziae (Bird of Paradise) and anthurium have a very authentic setting of a large bamboo screen, Hawaiian fern trees and other appropriate props.

This sure feels like fall doesn't it? Lots of work to do now, too. Get sweetpeas in right away. Stocks snaps calendula, fancy violas and many other are ready now and should be planted. Perennials like. Fox glove, canterbury bells, delphinium and others should be planted now for bloom next spring, if you wait till spring to plant, they won't bloom the first year, but if planted now they will bloom in the spring, so be sure to get them in if you want bloom. Many bulbs such as freesias, ixias, watsonia, amaryllis and anemones should be planted now this early. Ranunculus, daffodils, narcissus, tulips, hyacinths, etc., can wait another month yet don't get them in too soon, it's still too warm and they will develop too fast. Spray every thing now, a cleanup spray will help get rid of a lot of bugs. Feed roses and trim back old flowering wood. Tie in branches of climbers now too. Shape elm trees back a little, and thin them out before the rains and winds damage them. Prune back oleanders after they are through blooming. See you next week. Small Estate Zones Okayed by Planners SANTA ANA — A proposal to change three suburban residential districts northeast of Santa Ana to small estate zones has been approved by the Orange County Planning Commission in a resolution adopted to request the Board of Supervisors to enact a rezoning amendment to the county land use ordinance. No opposition was expressed to a 125-foot minimum frontage for 20,000 square foot building sites on an area between Newport Avenue Barrett Lane in north Lemont Heights district, and only one ojector spoke against a 100-foot frontage minimum for 20,000 square foot sites in the south Lemon Heights area southeastern of Newport Ave. and northeastern of La Colina Dr. Several property owners in the third section under the proposed change, sought to have a 100-foot frontage minimum reduced to one feet. This area is bounded by Vanderlip, Prospect, Fairhaven and Newport Aves. Another public hearing will conducted by the supervisors before final action is taken. If It's News You'll See It The Bulletin Cruise with Death F. DRACOT Copyright 1953 by Kinchart & Company, Inc. Distributed by King Park Press Syndicate. CHAPTER ONE FROM the beginning there was something strange about that cruise. Darius Opdyke brought us all on board at different times, as if he were afraid to have his guests meet each other until they were well at sea. Robert and I were on the list by accident. At least I like to think so. But before I felt so limped back to we were on our way for the first time to visit my home—a trip made possible by the fact that my brother had decided to buy out my share of our dude ranch. I was homesick for the mountains, and yet I wasn't in a hurry to get there. Both of my parents died just before I went into the Army, and Tom married while I was away. It was going to be strange made quite an impression. Robber barons used to wall themselves up in castles, now they isolate them selves on yachts." We should not have gone without having met the man. My mother always said not to accept favor from strangers. She would have told me "went back on my railing"—and she would have been right. But if ever a mistake was CHAPTER ONE FROM the beginning there was something strange about that cruise. Darius Opdyke brought us all on board at different times, as if he were afraid to have his guests meet each other until they were well at sea. Robert and I were on the list by accident. At least I like to think so. But before the Spiritus limped back to port, we had such a demonstration of the power of evil to corrode, to reach out even beyond the grave, that sometimes I almost believe we were part of the plot. The sinister old man might have heard something which made him consider us fair game...No, I won't believe it. We were there by accident. Robert Tintagel is my English husband. I met him when I was a WAC in London, on the night when they dropped the incendiaries on our headquarters in Grosvenor Square, or Eisenhower Plate, as the British were beginning to call it. We were married three weeks later. Everybody was short of time in those days. I saw a young captain in the Commandoes, and the man, then, now, and always, who was the only one for me. If I had known that he was a ninth baron besides, complete with a family curse, and enslaved by a moldering old house, I might have been scared off. I'm glad I wasn't. We've had some interesting times, as Robert says when he is teasing. I'm from Wyoming myself. My name is Virginia and my hair is red, so naturally I get called Ginger. When terrible things began to happen on that unholy cruise, we could not prevent them, we could not change events. When I was first asked to write out the account of it, I felt I could not bear going over it again—but afterwards I decided that it would be a relief, like going to confession, or to a psychiatrist's cotch. We blundered into it lightheartedly. No intuition warned us; no presentiments held us back. We had been married five years, and we were on our way for the first time to visit my home—a trip made possible by the fact that my brother had decided to buy out my share of our dude ranch. I was homesick for the mountains, and yet I wasn't in a hurry to get there. Both of my parents died just before I went into the Army, and Tom married while I was away. It was going to be strange to see the old place under new management, although of course I was prepared to like my unknown sister-in-law. We took half the money and patched Chillstone so that it could be rented for two years to rich Americans. There are still some left. Then we picked up Bobby, our baby son, and started out. We had intended to leave Frothingham. Robert's last surviving servant, with the place, but the old man seemed so upset about it that we brought him along. After watching him make the transition from butter to baby nurse, no one can tell me the British aren't adaptable. Our first stop was to visit Robert's godmother, Lisa Tremaine, in Nassau. Her friends in England never understood her moving out there when her husband died. St Helena, 1945, they called it. But it did not seem strange to me that she should have wanted to escape the English winter. She was certainly the queen of the place by the time we arrived, and I liked her, although I found it hard to call her "Lisa." as she in her old-fashioned 1920-way insisted we should do. We had been there a week or so, when she told us about an invitation from an old acquaintance of hers, Darius Opdyke, to cruise for three weeks on his yacht down the coast of South America. We were included, and it seemed too good to miss, especially as we could never afford much travel on our own. Boba could stay with Frothingham in Lisa's well-run house in Nassau. "It will be an experience for you," she said. "He came down from New York last year and made quite an impression. Robber barons used to wall themselves up in castles, now they isolate themselves on yachts." We should not have gone without having met the man. My mother always said not to accept favor from strangers. She would have told me I "went back on my raiding"—and she would have been right. But it ever a mistake was paid for promptly and in full this one was. Our host invited us on board for dinner the night before sailing which seemed natural enough, but it was strange that we were the only guests, as we had understood that the party would include eight. It was stranger still when he roo immediately after dinner and announced that we had better go to our cabins right away and get good night's rest. It sounded like an order, and we took it so. Even Lady Tremaine raised her eyebrows and went. As a rule, I like everybody. Robert complains that my troubles come from never believing that worst until it has happened. He takes the opposite trail, and he pooling our tendencies we manage to meet in the middle. But I beg to see that I was going to have trouble liking Darius Opdyke—and that is just when I should have taken my baggage and go ashore. Only it would have required a social courage I haven't got. We found ourselves in cable side by side, but without a door connecting them. We would have preferred to be together, but the single bed in each was narrow and bolted to the floor. It was mud too early to settle down, so art we undressed Robert came in as we sat on my bed looking out at the porthole. We put out the light because the harbor was fabulous in the moonlight. Then we covered that we were just over the landing ladder on the yacht side, and of course we were terrested to see who the other guests were going to be. (To Be Continued) Macres Wins.

Estate Zones ed by Planners There comes a time in the lives of most children when they lose interest in purely childish things and their minds turn to the serious side of life. When that happens, they lay aside their toys, begin to read something besides "story books," listen to the conversation of older people, and take pride in their ability to accomplish things. This is the borderland between childhood and youth. Parents should recognize these symptoms, and should endeavor to give the child the right slant on life. It is the period when characters are shaped. What better influence could be desired than that of religion? A knowledge of God, the influence and associations of the Church, the thoughts of great teachers—these are the foundations of character that will stand any test.

BULLETIN - 1 THE SERIOUS AGE THE CHURCH FOR ALL...ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
