HOMES - NATURE'S CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS—Hobbiest Mrs. E. E. Burdick fashions permanent arrangements for table or neckline from materials furnished by fields and garden. The centerpiece at the left is done in orchid tones and is a combination of chrysanthemums, heather, candles and tree ornaments, while the one in the middle uses the interesting lines of the northern thistle and sand-blasted grape branches in a copper bowl. Mrs. Burdick is working on the corsages that she enjoys making for friends during the Christmas season.—(Gazette photo by Kreldt) Anaheim Home-Maker Whiles Away Spare Time by Fashioning Corsages for Gifts If you should spy an especially lovely bouquet pinned at someone's shoulder this Christmas season, chances are that the corsage was made by Mrs. E. K. Burdick, an Anaheim home-maker who enjoys fashioning unusual nosegays to present to her friends. "I have always loved gardening," said Mrs. Burdick when we talked with her in the cozy living room of her ranch house at 12311 Chapman avenue. "As I grew flowers year after year and arranged them about the house, they were so pretty that it seemed a shame not to wear them. So the minute I heard that the high school adult education classes included a session of corsage-making, I enrolled and have been making corsages as a hobby ever since." Permanent Bouquets Mrs. Burdick's winter garden produces snapdragons, stock, fuschia, callendulas, camellies, and a variety of flowering shrubs which she fashions into formal or informal arrangements suitable for any occasion. However, during this special season, permanent bouquets that last from year to year claim most of her attention. For these, Mrs. Burdick uses a base of dried seed pods and pine cones. With them, she blends dried evergreens, popcorn, acorn ivy leaves, etc. The list of able materials seems endless. Bright ribbon, Christmas bells and miniature tree ornaments added for color. Empty cotton bolls, under Mrs. Burdick's nimble fingers, become almost star-like, glittering w bits of silver in the crevices. Tip ends of pine cones are used in effective clusters while shattered larger petal-like pieces appear in flat shoulder sprays that look for all the world like shiny brown roses. From Near and Far Friends familiar with Mrs. B. Burdick's hobby send her flora frar away places, but well awake that every conceivable combination usually results in artistic attractions, Mrs. Burd continually keeps her eyes open the year round for more grow things to add to her list of usual materials. Mr. Burdick has grown us to bringing the family car to sudden halt when out for a drive in the surrounding country while his imaginative wife snips leaf here and an exotic st there. When thoroughly dried, if materials have been wisely chosen, they need no further treatment of any kind and can be used Make This CHRISTMAS Your Happiest by Improving Your Home!

One of this group is the Chinese holly, Ilex cornuta. While English holly is best in shade the Chinese species thrives in full sun. It grows quite fast, forming a bushy upright shrub six feet or more in height. It does not set as many berries as the English holly, but makes a very creditable showing. Leaves are generally larger, with fewer prickles, more oblong, and a lighter green, but still a rich shade. A fine variety of the Chinese holly is the Burford holly. The leaves of this variety are rounder, with smooth or nearly smooth margins, different from the traditional holly leaf, so some do not care for it as a holiday plant. However, it sets berries freely and if in part shade makes a compact shrub reaching ten feet in height. In sum it is inclined to take on a yellowish cast. At the same time Burford holly takes warm dry weather. As a substantial foliage shrub it is deserving of the VOLCANO DEVASTATION—Dead animals and scorched trees remain as grim evidence of the intense heat caused by hot ashes spread over a wide area in the Philippines by erupting Hibok Hibok volcano. This area is near Mambajao the island of Camiguin. The volcano spouted flames and smoked for nearly a week after the first eruption on Dec. 4.

Farm Bureau in Reaffirmation of Present Statutes CHICAGO (UP)—The American Farm Bureau Federation, one of the nation's biggest agricultural groups, has reaffirmed its stand favoring existing federal farm legislation. Policies of the federation were expressed in resolutions approved by voting delegates yesterday at the close of the group's 33rd annual convention. More than 7000 farm men and women attended the five-day meeting. The resolutions dealt with problems of national and international importance, ranging from United Nations to rural life. The delegates expressed their views on foreign policy, long-range tax leaves of this variety are rounder, with smooth or nearly smooth margins, different from the traditional holly leaf, so some do not care for it as a holiday plant. However, it sets berries freely and if in part shade makes a compact shrub reaching ten feet in height. In sun it is inclined to fake on a yellowish cast. At the same time Burford holly fakes warm dry weather. As a substantial foliage shrub it is deserving of the place in your garden, even though you do not think it looks like a holly. A dwarf variety of the Chinese holly is available, which forms a low bushy plant of nice texture. It is best in part shade. Another holly, not grown much here is the eastern American holly, flex opaca. It grows wild from Missouri and Texas eastward. Leaves are oval, flatter than English holly, toothed, and with a rather dull surface. The plant is rather less showy than the English species. All the hollies like a deep fertile soil and simple water. In heavy soils liberal humus material such as peat moss, or leaf mold would be worked in deeply before planting. A mulch or steer may be applied in early spring and one or two applications of commercial fertilizer in the same season is beneficial. Local YMCA Delegates to Youth And Government Legislature Lay Plans for Anaheim-Sponsored Bill The ten delegates to the model legislature which convened in Saratoga Feb. 21, 22 and 23, met at the YMCA building Wednesday night for a planning session to begin preparation of the bill they will sponsor. Plans were made for these delegates to attend a pre-legislative training session Saturday, Dec. 15, at the YMCA area office in the downtown Y building in Los Angeles. There they will meet with delegations from all the southern clubs participating in the Youth and Government program to elect officers for the model legislature. In the meantime all the northern delegates are meeting in San Francisco for the same purpose. Each session elects five officers. Those to be elected by the south are governor, speaker of the house, chaplain of assembly, clerk of senate, and secretary of senate. The Anaheim delegation has nominated Gretchen Glover as secretary of the senate. The delegation from Anaheim consists of Phil Wright, Leah Gerber, Joan Kellogg, Shirley Pannier.

More than 7000 farm men and women attended the five-day meeting. The resolutions dealt with problems of national and international importance, ranging from United Nations to rural life. The delegates expressed their views on foreign policy, long-range tax policies, civilian military training, and economic policies to be followed during a mobilization period. The federation, which says it represents nearly 1,500,000 farm families in 46 states and Puerto Rico, said it favored "the maintenance of the present price support features of the agriculture act of 1949 which are designed for provide protection against extreme price declines without going to the opposite extreme of government price fixing." The resolution added, "we do not believe that action to raise the level of price support above that now provided in the agriculture act of 1949 is in the long-run interest of faith people." On economic policies during the defense build-up period, the federation opposed "unnecessary government controls," but approved allocations and priorities for scarce materials.

Revenue Bureau After Grunewald WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Bureau today filed a $51,157.71 tax lien against Henry W. Grunewald. The bureau refused to tell reporters whether it was the same mysterious Henry W. Grunewald, whose name has been mentioned frequently in the current tax scandal hearings. The lien was aimed at 1950 income taxes allegedly owed by Grunewald and his wife, Christine. The bureau listed the Grunewalds involved in the tax lien as living at 3900 Cathedral ave., in northwest Washington. A lien is a legal action tinging up a taxpayer's assets up to a certain amount to guarantee that when the government completes its tax case, the taxpayer would be able to pay up. After the lien is filed the government continues its collection effort, which can be delayed considerably by court flights.
