For certain summer color 111
dependable profusion, the tried
and true annuals just can't be
beat. That's why they're termed
tried and true.
But what gardener has not
yearned to try something a bit
more daring than the
conventional zinnia and marigold,
petunia and pansy and geranium?
Decorative plants little known
but not t(n) hard to grow can be
started on a sunny window sill for
summer bedding. Containers may
be covered with glass or clear
plastic ; to simulate greenhouse
conditions, thus encouraging
germination. Remove coverings
when seedlings appear.
Among the easiest to grow of
the rare garden gems is crepis
rubra, an annual with flowers like
large pink dandelions. Another
that will thrive under almost any
situation is sanvitalia procumbens,
a creeping, trailing zinnia growing
only six inches in height and
covered with double golden
flowers. This one is equally at
home in a bed or a rockery.
Not quite so easy but
breathtakingly beautiful in the
garden or as a house-plant is
agathaea coelestis, a one-foot-high
plant bearing sky blue daisies.
Erythrina crista gallii grows to a
bushy three-foot tree-formed
plant with blossoms like scarlet
sweetpeas.
Most green-thumbers are
familiarwith the common
rudbeckia and are very much
aware ofthe tetraploid giants.
ltowever, few gardens display
rudbeckia purpurea bright star
with its eight-inch lavender-pink
blooms. This colorful coneflower
is easily grown and, although a
perennial, will flower the first
year in July and August.
Another perennial quick to
bloom from seed is the showy
rehmannia angulata whose
three-foot terminal racemes carry
orchid-pink yellow-throated
trumpets, many of which may be
splashed and spotted with purple
or red. Broad, green foliage forms
neat and uniform plants.
Catananche is also a perennial
but will bloom the first year from
early-sown seeds. Lavender
flowers are dark-eyed and born
freely on two-foot plants.
Cuphea, with its fiery blooms,
flowers in a dozen weeks or
slightly more and never seems to
slow down until frost.
Centratherums are heat-loving
plants and may not like
Washington weather, but they are
worth a try. Blue-green crinkled
leaves on two-foot plants when
properly planted can resemble
small clipped hedges with a
constant display of one-inch
lavender-blue tassels.
One is most unlikely to locate
bedding plants of these varieties,
but most large mail order seed
companies can supply seeds.
Litter pick-up campaign
slated to clean shorelines
Plans are well underway for
the largest litterpick-up campaign
ever to be carried out ahmg
Washington's most visibly littered
areas, the river, lake and Pacific
Coast shorelines.
The project, called Operation
Shore Patrol', is being organized
by the Western Washington
J aycees and Pacific Northwest
4-Wheel Drive Association and is
,receiving the full support and
coordinationof the State of
Washington Department of
Ecology field staff.
Scheduled on Saturday, April
12, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
the patrol expects to clean up
shorelines in the entire western
half of Washington, from the
Canadian border to the Oregon
border.
READY TO COOK a batch of spaghetti for the Catholic Youth Organization
dinner slated for Saturday in St. Edward's Parish Hall are, left to right, Marie
Ragan, Jerrie Cross and CeCe Moullet. Serving will begin at 4 p.m. and
continue until 8 p.m. with garlic bread, salad, pie, cake and beverage
included on the menu. Tickets may be purchased at the door, and all senior
citizens who are 65 years of age or older will dine free of charge.
The clean-up will include
numerous civic groups from
shoreline communities and
hundreds of volunteer citizens.
For purposes of more efficient
clean-up, the access points to all
major western Washington
beaches, rivers and lakes will be
manned by patrol coordinators
who will be able to direct
volunteers to specific areas which
need cleaning.
Upon checking in, each
w~lunteer will be given a fiber

Counttess caustic and critical
comments constantly
forthcoming concerning my most
recent equine acquisition have
convinced me that I should print
a possible explanation for my
seemingly inexplicable conduct°
This dissertation is in no way
to be construed as an attempt to
justify my rather erratic behavior.
This l need not do.

my own schoolbooks, thereby
reserving the right to decide for
myself exactly what 'I'd rather

butters his own bread knows best
which side is up. For the person
who buys hay instead of groceries
the question never arises.
Security, for me, is a horse in
every stall. A horse is what I
prefer to a television set; or an
electric clothes-dryer; or a
brand-new stove.
It all began when, as a
toddler, 1 learned the basics of
horsemanship astride the arm of a
huge old leather upholstered
rocking chair which unseated me
with disturbing regularity.
In time i progressed to the
ponies owned by young friends,
but not until l was well into my
late teen years did I own my first

What makes a man
Reading maketh a full man,
conference a ready man, and
writing an exact man.
Francis Bacon
We Americans are not just living longer, we're
living more useful, productive lives.
But an increasing number of the chronically ill,
the old, the mnvalescent, need some place other than the
hospital and their home where they can receive personal
health care, round-the-clock attention and the opportunity
to continue to live their lives with meaning.
As your community extended health care facility
we want to help you make the right decision. Here are
some guidelines: see your family physician to determine
the kind of care needed; feel free to visit our facility; ask
us for our costs in writing and financial advice about
Medicare and Medicaid; examine all of our facilities; check
• our f(rod quality; verify our safety features; and finally,
observe how our residents spend their time.
There's a lot more to selecting the right nursing
home. We want to help. If you have any questions, please
call or visit us.
