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 mesh "onion sack" in which to Daniel D. Reynolds visits Africa on USS Navy Machinist's Mate Third Cl~s Daniel D.

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.

He who 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.

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.
