HOMES - Construction Help Sought by State California's big state building program, made necessary by a booming population and by time lost during the war, is urgently in need of help in architectural and engineering lines. The State Personnel Board today announced an examination for the position of District Construction Supervisor, paying $584 to $710 a month. Closing date for applications is May 19 and the California residence requirement has been waived. Other positions with the Division of Architecture are open for structural designers and draftsmen, mechanical and electrical engineers, estimators of building construction, construction supervisors and specification writers. Immediate appointments in these lines are available in Los Angeles, and there are a number of openings in Sacramento. All applications must be filed with the State Personnel Board.

By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Newsfeature Writer The how-to-catch-a-husband specialists have, I think, overlooked a rather simple, elemental device: outdoor activity. As a student of the subject of balting and getting man-traps, I find this whole subject has been ignored. Personally, I think it is infinitely more effective than many of the complicated, involved techniques rather uniformly recommended. For instance, had you ever thought of starting to re-stain or otherwise treat the roof of your house? All you have to do is set up an extension ladder in the front, set some pots and brushes around. Before you set foot to ladder there will be at least six neighborhood males strolling across your lawn. They give advice, discuss, and obviously wait for a request for help. There are few things more attractive to a man—of any age—than a chance to climb around a roof for a few hours. If you start to reassemble pieces of a television antenna near a ladder, the audience in a few minutes runs around a baker’s dozen. Another sure-fire attraction is a piece of broken machinery. I can run my power mower around the lawn for hours, drawing nothing more enthusiastic than friendly waves from passers-by. But let the mower suddenly quit, male neighbors from blocks around start out for my house. Some of them carry their own wrenches, screw-drivers and oil cans. Cement-mixing is another great gimmick and apt to be slightly less expensive than machine-breaking or roof-climbing. The attraction of men to cement tiles all reason, but they flies all reason, but they fly to such a scene like hummingbirds to beebalm. They’ll haunt around, too, until the cement is finished; happy as larks if they have a chance to do some of the mixing and smoothing work with a trowel or a hoe. This system of attracting males however is unpredictable and hard to figure in advance. For instance, they’ll come a-running if you place a tree with a block on a tackle. But if you set to work with saw or axe, the eye of a maid passer-by is as hard to catch as a waiter’s. You can draw a crowd with a non-functioning car with leaking radiator or dirty pollen but you can work in blessed soot over a flat tire that needs changing. Washing a car will get you nowhere. But try getting stuck in the mud, snow or on the edge of a precipice, and you'll acquire a legion of male helping hands framing branches from the top—a tall tree will bring a big audience, each man eager to help an climb. But working on the same branches with sawbuck and buck saw will clear the premises. Of course, large numbers of the helping hands acquired by art of these methods belong to husbands—men who dropped their own appointed and dull chores to participate in the fun. But even There are numbers of interesting VINES and FLOWERING or ORNAMENTAL TREES to help round out your LAND-SOAPING. Our large selection gives you an excellent opportunity to make the best choice for your particular need.

(Gazette photo by Kreldt) Nurserymen say by Orange County Nurserymen's Association A most useful reference for the home gardener is California Agricultural Extension Circular 146. "Ridding the Garden of Common Pests," by A. E. Michelbacher and E. O. Essig, of the University of California College of Agriculture, Berkeley 4. The circular is well arranged and clearly printed, with brief non-technical but important instruction on types of pests, controls, equipment and materials. A number of the most common insect and related pests are described, and means of control for each recommended. Pictures accompany most of the descriptions, aiding in identification. A brief, but very clear and easily followed, table giving a minimum disease control program for the home garden is given. The table of contents is inside the back cover, is brief enough to be useful in quickly looking up a topic. From Circular 146 the gardener learns the importance of being able to identify the pests, not technically, as an entomologist might, but to know the most common kinds, and to know whether they are chewing or sucking insects. A basic knowledge of the insecticides used and what they will do is needed. Stomach poisons, such as cryolite or lead arsenate are used for chewing insects and contact insecticides or fumigants such as nicotine sulphate, DDT, etc., are used against sucking insects. Some of these contact insecticides may IN THE LIVING ROOM of the Roy Hammond home at 13872 has the place of honor before the fireplace.

Roy Hammond, a flooring contractor, planned the well-designed house himself, and hired only a carpenter to assist with the building. In every room of the house, Mrs. Hammond's handlwork adds an individual, homey touch. For example, in the living room her hand hooked rug holds the place of honor before the fireplace. Made entirely of used wool materials which have been bleached and then re-dyed, it is hooked in a pattern called "Bacon Fall Leaves." The rug measures 3x5 feet and required four months of spare time work. Because of the gorgeous colors and exquisite workmanship, it had the honor to be hung in the National rug show held in Hollywood last February. It is interesting that a rug of this type costs little to construct but the workmanship involved places its value at ten dollars per foot. Mrs. Hammond's talents home decorating are by no limit to hooking rugs. Her son's red, white and blue bedshows more of her handiwork.

Chapter 9, Division 3, of the Business and Professions Code, is known as the California Contractors License Law. The law outlines the procedure to obtain a California contractors license, classifies the different types of contractors in the building industry, provides for penalties for infractions of the law and has provisions for ruining superscripted spaces.

Stomach poisons, such as cryolite or lead arsenate are used for chewing insects and contact insecticides or fumigants such as nicotine sulphate, DDT, etc., are used against sucking insects. Some of these contact insecticides may also be used against certain chewing insects. Generally it is better to dust vegetables to reduce the residue problem, but flowers usually may be sprayed as there is not the residue problem on them that there is on vegetables. Proper equipment for the job should be obtained. It is very tiresome and discouraging, as well as inefficient, to try to control pests in a whole garden with a half-pint sprayer, yet the little sprayers do have their place. and now for the SHADE GARDEN We have a wonderful array of: - FUCHSIAS - FERNS - TUBEROUS BEGONIA SEEDLINGS and BULBS - COLEUS BOTTS NURSERY LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR 1228 LINCOLN AVENUE—PHONE ANAHEIM 5450 We give GOLD BOND STAMPS BUILDING Chemical Co. to Make Allethrin NEW YORK—Plans for the construction of a plant for the production of allethrin, a chemical which has some of the properties of natural pyrethrum, the oldest of all insecticides, were announced today by W. P. Marsh, Jr., president of U.S. Industrial Chemicals, Inc. The plant, the first to be devoted to the commercial production of allethrin, will be located on the company's property in Baltimore. Construction is to be started immediately, and is expected to be completed late in 1952. In making the announcement, Mr. Marsh stated that the production of the chemical would aid materially in filling the needs of the defense effort for adequate supplies of insecticide materials, especially since pyrethrum has been in short supply.
