TWO COUNTIES
EXCEED GOALS IN
CANCER CRUSADE
Two counties and one commun-
ity exceeded their goals shortly
after the beginning of the annua!
Texas Cancer Cruaide, which op-
ened April 1 throughout the staW.
Texas volunteer workers are
striving to raise $500,000, lor sup-
port of the American" Cancer So-
ciety’s research, educational, and
service work in Texas.
Hamon, Gonsales county, was
tile first community to report, Mr.
and Mrs. George Hinton their re-
ported collections of $30, twice
their <juot£. ______.
Two Panhandle counties appar-
ently tied for the honor of first
county to reach its goal. Sherman
bounty, where O. L. MrMinn is
Crusade chairman, and Hemphill
county, headed by Norman Magill,
exceeded their quotas April 3.
Each expects even greater col-
lections, Gibb Gilchrist-,! Chancel-
lor of the Texas A&M College
System and state Crusade chair,
man, said. ‘‘Solicitations of the en-
tire counties have not been com-
pleted, and county chairmen tell
us that much more to fight cancer
will be turned in by their volun-
teer workers.’’ t
The state chairman expressed
optimism for this year’s Crusade.
“Volunteers of the American
Cancer Society are doing an ex-
cellent job this year of bringing
the educational message of canfar
control to every Texas county,”
he said. “And they are making an
all-out effort to raise funds to
conquer the disease.

APRIL IS BUSY
MONTH FOR f
ROSE GARDENER
April is s busy month for the
rose gardener. It is a little too late
to plant roses unless you are us-
ing plants that have been held in
cold storage, but according to Miss
Lueile King, county home demon-
stration agent, there are a lot if
things that ran bo done to make
those you already have growing
more productive and beautiful.
Roses do best in a fertile soil. If
fertilization ir needed, now is the
time to make the application she
*aya. Two or three pounds of 1-
13-4 or $-10-3 commercial fertil-
izer for each hundred square feet
of space in the rose garden is
about right.
The fertilizer ahould be worked
into the soil by shallow cultiva-
tion. Deep cultivation at this time
of the year will destroy the young
feeder roots that are near the
ground surface and this may re-
tard plant growth and cut down
on the production of flowers. The
rose garden can be mulched at this
time and she says a good mulch of
decayed leaves, straw, grass clip-
pings, pine needles or well decayed
barnyard manure will help hold
moisture, keep down weed and
grass growth in the garden and
will improve the tilth of ihe toil.
She lays roses should be check-
ed now for new sprout growth.
They come from the root stock; us-
ually grow very rapidly and are
easy to recognize because the
leaves ar«. small and light green
in coldr. They should l>e removed
for they can crowd-off the more
desirable rose graft.
Roses require good drainage,
yet they need plenty of moisture
for heavy flower production. She
says they should not he sprinkled,
because moisture applied to the
leaves encourages black spot and
mildew. Both diseases are likely
to develop during periods of rainy
or cloudy weather and she says
roses should be dusted with cop-
per-sulphur dust within 24, hours!
after each rain for control.
Black spot is “public enemy No. j
1” so far as roses are concerned.1
It causes the black spot on the
leaves; turns them yellow later
and they drop. Die back of the
stems usually follows and if the
disease is not brought under con- |
trol, the entire plant may die.
Miss King says that out-of- i
shape plants mny be pruned from 1

growth should be removed than i-
necessary. Prune only to keep the 1

Look how you save
THIRST thing you notice, of course, is the
Jr* bother and effort Dynaflow Drive* saves.
Next, that Dynaflow saves you physically
—after long trips you’re less tired and
tense, more relaxed.
But then, as the miles pile up—and this
comes from cold, recorded fact after Dyna-
flow’a two years of public operation—you
spot savings you hadn’t expected . . .

tion is steady, even. On clutch expense—
the usual friction clutch is gone.
On transmission maintenance, and the rear-
axle expenses likely to go with it. And
your engine, oil-cushioned against normal
shocks and strains, needs less upkeep.
You may find another surprise, too.
We are getting a steadily mounting number
of well-satisfied letters about gasoline mile-
age with Dynaflow ears.
The Special shows some almost phenom-
enal records. The SUPER is delivering mile-
age comparing most favorably with gear-
shift cars. And the ROADMASTER more than
holds its own with cars of its size and bulk.
In short, there’s much more to please budg-
ets in the 1950 Dynaflow than its new lower
price. Refinements over the past two years
bring sizable savings over the car’s life.
Knowing that, don’t you want us to reveal
Dynaflow’s big side—the utter smoothness
of America’s first oil-does-it-all drive?
