I Pa.a,ua b ( Feature Writer, p JAN DANFORD P The little crib, secondhand but sturdy, has been scrubbed and polished and fitted with a brand-new mattress. Oils and vitamins, potions and lotions, cotton swabs and downy towels wait in readiness on a sterile shelf. Time hangs heavy on my hands, and my nervousness increases as I count the days until June 17. I am expecting. It's been a long, long time since I've cared for a baby. During my weeks of anticipation I have broken into cold sweats as I contemplate the errors that I may inadvertently make with this innocent infant. I shall worry if he cries. I shall worry if he does not cry, and I may be driven to prod him into noisiness to allay my foolish fears. I will fret if he eats too much, and I will agonize if he fails to eat at all. So definite are my plans for a boy that I have padded the crib in blue, and the tiny collar and leash are of the same delicate color. The legless crib will be placed directly on the floor of my undersized kitchen, where it will command most of the available space. There my German shepherd puppy will spend his unsupervised nocturnal hours until his house-training is completed• How well I remember the pitiful wails of previously owned puppies rudely removed from the maternal canine bosom and forced to face the cold reality of ;the human but not always humane world! Perhaps I should acquire a kitten of compatible size to share his youthful domain, thus ensuring that the puppy will grow to adulthood endowed with an enduring fondness for felines. "I suppose his whining will keep me awake for a few nights," I sighed to my Number Two Son. "He'll keep you awake for approximately one hour," said Sonny, "and after that you'll let him sleep on the bed." I wouldn't' thlrtk of Spoiling a dog like that!" I exclaimed. "And anyway, I have a better solution to dispel the little fellow's loneliness. I'll get two puppies!" (And two kittens.) Some like the cat; some like the dog; and some, like me, just go whole hog.

Tomato plants like tires Don't throw away those old bald tires you no longer can use on your car - save them to help produce earlier and better tomatoes! Experiments conducted by Dr. E. Blair Adams, Cooperative Extension horticulturist at the Western Research and Extension Center in Puyallup, showed that placing a tire around a tomato plant will help it grow and ripen its fruit faster. The black tires absorbs the heat from the sun and radiates it back on the plant during cold nights. Since cool temperature is the major reason for lack of success in growing tomatoes, this trick to conserve heat will be helpful, especially in western Washington where the amount of sun and warmth is not ideal for tomato growing. For success in transplanting bedding plants and garden vegetables, don't plant outside until the season advances far enough for the plant concerned (for frost-sensitive plants, until after the frost-free date). Plants selected should be established in their containers, but not too large. Bedding plants do best if not yet blooming. Late afternoon or early evening is the best time for transplanting, and the soil should be moist. Plant at the same depth at which they were growing previously (tomatoes should be planted deeper). Retain as much soil on the roots as possible and do not let the roots dry before planting. e •.. for DAD| and so are our great gift ideas l May we suggest: Men's Diamond Rings Acutron Watches Leather Billfolds Travel Cases Men's Fine Jewelry ,1.
