During the past few
jnonths we've been telling you that
conserving energy will mean a savings
to you and to the country's energy
supplies. And you've been responds
ing to that message.
Lone Star would like to
“thank you” for your cooperation.
We urge you to continue
conserving energy. And in many
cases, that means using natural gas
because it's naturally high in
efficiency. - y

Under a recent change of regu-
lations, an undetermined number
of persons eligible for . Veterans
Administration educational as-
sistance now may pursue ex-
ternal study programs along with
regular college curricula leading
to standard college degrees.
To insure highest quality medi
cal care, the Veterans Adminis-
tration follows a policy of af-
filiating outpatient clinics with
medical schools the same as has
i been the practice with its hospi-
1 tais since World War II.

Attention Won't Sjioil Baby
Picking up and soothing a cry-
ing baby won’t spoil him, one
authority says.
/"Nor will it make him even
fussier in the future," Dr. Jem

tem, College Station, added.
She cited results of studies by
Ainsworth and Bell, child de-
velopment. researchers,, who
found that mothers who are un-
responsive to the cryihg of tiny
infants tend to have babies' who
cry more often later on.

According to the Ainsworth and
Bell studies, when a baby's sig-
nals both crying and non-crying'
are responded -to promptly a'
appropriately, he builds up
sense of competence.
"In oliicr words, he gains c( _
fidence that he can control what J
happens through his own ac-tivi
-ty.
“This confidence, in turn, car-

Pruning Helps Shape Roses
Don’t be
fooled by
false figures.

Iii most areas of Texas, roses
will become large and difficult
to care for unless they are se-
verely pruned about this time
each year, says Everett Janne,
landscape horticulturist for the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, College Station.
“The only exception to this is
the Pabhandle area, and even
there annual pruning is required
-to keep plants shaped healthy.
In Central Texas, prune hybrid
tea roses in mid-February while
in North Texas delay pruning
until late February or, early
March.
“Heavy pruning usually results
in fewer flowers, but the size |
and quality of each individual
flower will be better," points out
the Texas A&M University Sys-
tem specialist.
l<r A, gpd set of hand shears, a
sharp .pruning saw, a pair of
long-handled toppers, pruning
paint, and a pair of heavy leath-
er gloves arc essential pruning
tools.
The gloves will protect the
hands from .sharp', woody thorns
while the saw is the only way
td remove .the heavy basal canes
over two years old. Use toppers
on the large canes of the past
season and shears on the smaller
branches. Cover all cuts and ends
of canes with pruning paint to
prevent entry of diseases and
insects, advises Janne.
Cut back top growth to 12 oi-
ls inches above the ground, Keep
four to- six healthy canes about
,six inches above the but or graft
union.
The. horticulturist _ recom-
mends removing all dead, di-
seased, and injured twigs and
branches as veil - as all of tjie
thin, spindly growth that is fre-
quently found at the base of an
old, established plant.
Climbing roses, which general-
ly produce an abundance of flow-
ers in early spring, should re-
ceive their major pruning after
the spring flush of bloom. On
healthy, vigorous climbers, re-
'move or cut back any cane over
two years old. Thin last season’s
growth by at least, one-half and
cut back to within several fee^ of
the base to. encourage
growth.
‘‘Roses will usually start grow-
ing within two to three weeks af-
ter pruning. Be* ready to start
your preventive disease control
program against Black Spot at |
this time and continue every two
weeks until frost,” cautions
Janne.
‘ Determine the size of your'
rose bed ,by the time you can de-
vote to carying for the plants.
Three or four properly cared for
rose bushes will provide all the
cut flowers needed in the aver-
age home,” notes the horticul-
turist.
