Long before it arrives in most of the nation, its harbingers are bursting into bloom throughout the Golden State. Witness some of the glowing Narcissus and other “spring” bulbs that push their blooms up each new year when the calendar says it’s still winter. You’re too late to do much about early spring bulbs this year, since many of them are already blooming in some gardens. You can still get the jump on spring, though, with a handful of delightfully impatient force yourself on a Don’t! Even if afraid of him.

IF YOU'RE PLANTING SHADE TREES, HERE ARE SOME TIPS As you daydream about the years of pleasure you're going to get from the shade trees you're about to plant, don't lose sight of the fact that the project calls for some wide-awake planning. A good start in life is especially important with shade trees for it often dictates how well they perform later on. And if they are hastily planted they will seldom be parlayed into a fortune of shade. Whether bare-root, balled or tubbed stock is planted, the ground must be adequately prepared. If fortune has dealt you a rich well-drained soil, you are lucky, indeed, and need worry little about success with whatever you plant. Most of us, however, have problems of varying degree that some extra thought and effort will easily remedy. In all cases, the hole should be amply larger than the root ball or root spread. Where hardpan exists—that cement-like substratum that occasionally underlies a shallow top soil—make every effort to break it up so as to insure drainage and a better root run. Mix topsoil and gravel with the layer thus broken. In heavy clay or adobe soil, work liberal helpings of peat moss or manure into the soil well out around the hole before planting the tree. You're too late to do much about early spring bulbs this year, since many of them are already blooming in some gardens. You can still get the jump on spring, though, with a handful of delightfully impatient shrubs that will grow in size and beauty for years to come. Camellias have "spring" stamped all over them, but many varieties bring spring to our gardens in the dead of winter. It's worth visiting a nursery lot at regular intervals from now until March so as to choose Camellias as they come into bloom. The fragrant Daphne is another "spring" shrub that blooms in late winter throughout most of the state. So, too, is the Delavay Osmanthus, whose myriad white blooms impart their own lovely perfume. And if a showy deciduous Saucer Magnolia doesn't cheer up your late winter days, what will? Two of them, maybe? Spring arrives both early and delicately on the branches of a flowering Japanese Quince. Many varieties in many lovely shades await you in this family, and you'll await you in this family, and you'll await them eagerly each new year, as the buds begin to break along the winter-bare stems. Some California natives offer a good source of early color—especially some of our Wild Lilacs and, less notably, the bright yellow Tree Poppy. Bloom time often varies considerably, however, according to where you live in California. There are others — some flowering fruit trees, and sev- AL annuals suc- and Fairy Primroneed them all to oter blues, but thave, the merrierwill be.

Mix topsoil and gravel with the layer thus broken. In heavy clay or adobe soil, work liberal helpings of peat moss or manure into the soil well out around the hole before planting the tree. Figure on planting the tree at about the same depth it was planted in the nursery. With bare-root stock, the ring left by the earth is clearly visible. Fill the bottom of the hole to the desired level with topsoil—mounding a pyramid of it under bare-root stock—then fill the hole slowly to make sure no air pockets are left. Immediately afterward, soak the roots in thoroughly. As to the type of shade you plant, your choice is wide. As a rule, deciduous trees grow faster than evergreen trees. A chat with your local nursery-man about the trees that are best for you would be helpful. KNOW YOUR NAVY Lithographer THIS WE ARE NOT BUT PRECIOUS GENERAL INFORMATION FOR PUBLIC AND WESTERN USE.

LOS ANGELES PR 2-0787 WHAT'S DOING Harvey Hendrickson, your Telephone Manager in Anaheim Starting guns are familiar to most people, but few have heard of a "Stopping gun". It's used in our Defensive Driving course to show how long it takes you to stop your car. That's a "stopping gun" on the bumper of the car in the picture. The instructor riding in the car pulls a string and fires the "gun" as a signal to the driver to stop as fast as he can. A chalk mark is shot onto the pavement as the gun goes off, and a second mark is made when the brakes are applied. By measuring the distance between the chalk marks, the driver learns how far his car travelled before he reacted to the noise of the gun. We pay lots of attention to safe driving at the phone company, and we've found just being alert avoids lots of accidents. Every telephone employee who drives in his work takes a "Defensive Driving" course. This special training really works. Our drivers have one of the best safety records anywhere. For some unknown reason, squirrels like to gnaw on telephone cables. Their chewing puts holes in the cable's outer covering and lets moisture get inside. This, in turn, interferes with telephone service. To protect phone cables, we cover them with metal roofs or wrap them with steel tape. Squirrels don't like this, but it keeps our cables from being damaged and helps us keep your telephone service dependable. To keep your telephone working, and to find trouble fast if it happens, telephone men like Louis Wentz guard your service 24 hours a day. From the "Test Board" any telephone in Anaheim can be tested to protect your service at all times. Louie, a 19-year veteran with The Pacific Telephone Company and a father of two teenagers, is proud to live in Anaheim and have a share in providing telephone service for over 40,000 customers in his town. He started with The Pacific Telephone Company in 1941 after graduating from Anaheim Union High School. During World War II he served in the Signal Corps as a sergeant. He is currently active in Boy Scout work. Pacific Telephone
