oes are LENORA GIBBLE grows dozens of dahlias. ripening .... Saturday after -Saturday the Seventh-day Adventist Church is made beautiful by blooms grown in the garden of Lenora Gibble. "Except for mowing and rototilllng I do it all myself," says the 7 6-year-old green-thumber whose windows are overflowing with houseplants and whose backyard is a picture-perfect vista of color and foliage. Nine years ago a fall from an attic broke Mrs. Gibble's back. Through many long months in a brace she dreamed of her gardening days. "They told me I couldn't do that sort of work again," she laughs, "but I showed them!" Born and reared in Hutchinson, Kansas, Lenora Gibble came to this area 33 years ago. Now widowed, ehe recalls the days when she and her husband gardened together. "We had ten acres on Mill Creek Road," she explains. "We moved here to our Hlllcrest home seven years ago." Her garden is smaller than that grown on her acreage but yields a wealth of food and flowers. Dahlias, and glads, zinnias and marigolds flourish beside already-ripe tomatoes and many other vegetables. "I wouldn't trade my little house in Shelton for a mansion anywhere else!" she exclaims. Feature Writer, l JAN DANFORD Utterly false indeed is the prevalent rumor that I have permanently forsaken the frills of feminine attire in favor of the more practical pantsuit. My preference is but temporary and dates from a milm4r vacation rrashap which so disfigured my fat little legs that I have since hidden them from public view lest it appear that 1 was deliberately flagellated. In the somewhat bleary-eyed state which is my normal condition immediately upon arising and directly prior to my morning coffee I peered through the grime of my cobwebbed kitchen window to note that Shadrach, my beloved goat, had wrapped his weighty chain around a tree trunk in such a manner that he retained a mere few feet of freedom. Becoming aware of my attentive concern he forthwRh set up a piteous bleating. I dashed from the house clad skimpily in a decidedly short nightie. Soon the heavy chain was disentangled whereupon Shadrach, instead of leaping happily forward as any decent goat would have done, swiftly irretrievably off balance and about to fall flat on my poor old face 1 noticed that I was being swept beneath the bending bough of the old apple tree. In true Tom Mix fashion I grasped the providential protuberance, twinging my tortured legs up and front to allow the chastising chain to pass beneath them. While I was congratulating myself on this athletic maneuver the branch broke and down came rockabye baby flat on her aching back. My skull bounced off the turf with a resounding whack. Blows on the head never raze me an iota, but I feared for the safety of my already ailing spine. As I rose cautiously to my tottering feet there echoed from my readjusting vertebrae a dry and brittle rattle reminiscent of an ancient marimba in the f'mal throes of decaying disintegration. A tentative step was attempted. I jogged a little. I ran madly across the meadow, leaping blackberry bushes. My back felt great. I may change Shadrach's name to Chiropractor; or maybe I'll just call him Big Bruiser. The things one does on tennis courts should certainly be done in shorts and when my weary bones relax they do so best in roomy slacks, but I, who dearly love to dance will seldom do so wearing pants for now there sags unsightly hummock where before was firm, flat stomach. Trousers tend to make appear a bulge as ugly in the rear. I cannot boast of solid muscle nor lay claim to padded bustle. Not for me the dinging knit nor any other clothes that fit.
