the family has lived for the past
ten years.
"It's nice to stay put," Sybil
Gillette declares. "It was
frustrating - every time we got
the soil built up, we'd move and
start over."
For several years she sold
organically grown vegetables,
marketing 1500 pounds of
pickling-size cucumbers in one
year. She discontinued her
commercial venture two years ago
in order to devote more time to
flowers and landscaping.
A quarter-of-an-acre vegetable
patch provides ample produce for
freezing and canning, while
borders and beds of flowers
beautify the premises. An
ornamental pool was built by Mrs.
Gillette, who mows an acre of
lawn.
"I was an organic gardener
long before I knew what organic
gardening was," states Sybil
Gillette. "I have never believed in
the use of chemicals.
"I'm sure," she continues,
"that what is bad for an
earthworm can't be very good for
people. Vegetables surely must
absorb a certain amount of
poisonous material, and the soil is
soon contaminated, too."
"A bug may eat a vegetable,"
Sybil explains, "but another bug
will come along and eat the first
bug - providing we don't kill
them off."
Mrs. Gillette, who has a
daughter, four grandchildren and
two great-grandchildren with
another on the way, learned to
swim under the tutorship of Joan
Woodard, beginning lessons in
March. She now swims three
times each week.
"I'd rather dive than eat," she
laughs.
One packet of seed yielded

varied colors, 14 blooms of which
were entered in the fair.

Shelton Schools will continue
the price of school lunches at 35
cents for elementary on a ticket
and 40 cents by the day with the
junior-senior high staying at 40
cents.
Milk prices, if taken without
the regular lunch will increase
from five to ten cents per
half-pint. The increase in price is
due to word received this week
that the special milk subsidy by
the Federal Government has been
eliminated, according to Bruce
Jaros, Assistant Superintendent.
Milk as part of the regular
school lunch will still be
subsidized so lunch prices will be
held at last year's level as long as
possible.
