Show REM-GENEVA TIMES THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1949 r- Drive up 8th North about two blocks past the Mt View Subdivision, Sub-division, and on the north side of the street you will see an attractive at-tractive red and white frame home. The mail box in front of this house has the name Victor Murdock painted on the side. In the front and side windows of the Murdock home can be seen amazingly life-like models of horses, bears, deer, rabbits. Even a Mickey Mouse model waves mischievously from one of the windows. Intrigued by the unusual display dis-play of creative art in the Murdock Mur-dock home, we visited Mrs. Margaret Murdock this week to find out the story back of it. Several years ago in Salt Lake City, before she was married, Mrs- Murdock and her sister became be-came interested in the hobby of a woman they had read about who made dolls of paper mache. They studied the method used by this woman in making her dolls, and did some experimenting experiment-ing on their own. A doll or two was made by the sisters, and then their interest died. Recently, Recent-ly, after the Murdocks returned from a vacation at Yellowstone Park, Mrs- Murdock tried her hand at modeling in paper mache some of the animals she had seen at the park. Her success suc-cess at creating life-like models drew comment from her relatives relat-ives and friends until today modeling is her hobby and serves serv-es as an outlet for her remarkable remark-able creative ability. Gives Modeling Tips For those who would like to model in paper mache Mrs- Murdock Mur-dock gives the following suggestions: suggest-ions: first a frame of light wood and' wire should be made in the general contour of the animal to be modeled; then the feet of the frame should be set in a plaster of paris base; a batch of paper mache should be made by mix ing newspapers, flour, water and glue together; the paper mache should then be worked a-round a-round the frame. At least three coats of paper mache should be molded around the frame be cause the paper shrinks when it dries.

Mrs Murdock can make about four models a week in her spare time by working on a new one while the others are drying. At the present time she has over fifteen models displayed in ev. ery room of the house. Among these are striped zebras, deer with antlers (made of pipe clean er wires), a mounted cowboy, a mounted Indian, and a model of Pinnochio. Mrs. Murdock has given several of her models as gifts, and occasionally makes a model to order. The Murdocks are comparatr ively new members of the com munity, moved to Orem from Heber last. November. They have two daughters: Vicky, 4, and Carma, 3. Mr. Murdock worked as a .miner at the New Park mine before entering his present employment in the roll mg mill at the Geneva Steel plant. Isaac Walton Fan An . enthusiastic sportsman, Mr. Murdock loves to hunt and fish. Last summer he took the family to Yellowstone Park where he landed a lot of rare beauties any Isaac Walton would be proud to claim. Every summer the Murdocks vacation at fishing haunts. They have in years past gone to Granddaddy Lakes, Ashley Falls, Strawberry Reservoir, and twice to Yellow, stone. .'. In the rear of their home the Murdocks have a garden and some fruit trees. One of these is an apple tree which is supposed to bear three kinds of apples: ap-ples: Summer, Jonathan and Am erican Beauty. The Murdocks are anxious to see if the tree lives up to its billing. With their home ideally situated situ-ated so that they can enjoy a magnificent view of Mount Tim-panogos Tim-panogos and adjoining snow. capped peaks, and in a community commun-ity where opportunities for liv ing are unlimited, the Murdock famly s happy and they hope to live in Orem for a long time.

By choosing varieties which germinate quickly and grow fast, ilowsrs may be had almost as soon rs'fnam seeds sown much earlier, which may have been delayed by cold weather. For best results seeds should be svn wlicre the plants are to grow, so they will suffer no setback from transplanting. Since hot, dry days may soon arrive, special precautions precau-tions should be taken to prevent crusting of the soil, and drying out. Loosen the soil to a depth of six inches, spading under 2 to 4 pounds of plant food for each 100 square feet. Mix small seeds with dry sand to help scatter them well. Large seeds of plants which need plenty of room may be sown two or three seeds in each spot where a plant is wanted, to be thinned out later to a single plant. Cover the seeds lightly, with porous por-ous soil containing no clay. A special spe-cial covering soil may be prepared by mixing fine top soil or peat with an equal amount of sand or vermi-culite. vermi-culite. Keep the soil moist by sprinkling sprin-kling with a fine spray until the seeds germinate and the plants begin be-gin to grow well. Annual flowers which germinate within five to ten days after sowing include the following: Sweet Alyssum, Amaranthus, tor, CdUnddla, Calliopsis, Candy PLEASANT VIEW Edna M.

In two more weeks zinnias will begin be-gin to bloom. The slowest growers of the quick germinating group are asters and calendula; but these will begin to flower in late August, and continue through the fall, when cool weather is to their liking, and they produce their best flowers. Giant zinnias are still most popular; popu-lar; with the super-giant strain leading because of the pastel colors of its blossoms.

L H laSl'VS SPOTLIGHTING UTAH Utahns "Friendly" Declare Tourists As S means of determining what the aevrage tourist thinks about Utah, the titah Depart ment of Publicity is asking all tourists who visit the Utah Field House of Natural History at Vernal, as well as a number of service stations to fill in and mail back a questionnaire. The answers now being receiv ed to the 16 questions are highly informative and pertinent to the business of attracting tourists to Utah. All of the questionnaires re ceived so far, indicated that the visitors think Utahns are friend. ly, courteous and hospitable. In most cases they say that Utah highways are good, and many declare Utah roads are better than roads of adjacent states. Most of the travelers spent two days in the state and drove more than 350 miles. The visit ors seemed to prefer to stay at motor courts which they think are better than the average found in other states. One party of two persons, traveled 350 miles in Utah, were in the state three days and two nights, and spent a total of $60 which is broken down as fol lows: gas oil, etc. J 10; Lodging, $10; Food. $15 00; and miscell aneous, $25. 00- Judging from national surveys conducted a- long the same lines, the $25 und er miscellaneous is presumed to have been spent in department stores.

Gibson, general agent, Southern Pacific, Salt Lake of fice. Mr. Gibson's report was based on a survey which ndl-cates ndl-cates a heavy rail tourist traffic this season. He pointed out also that the railroads are working concerted-ly concerted-ly to get Congress to remove the 15 percent federal tax on trans portation tickets. In the meantime, Canada has taken advantage of the situation and removed their war time transportation tax. In conse quence, a ridiculous situation has arisen American travelers are mailing checks to Canadian ticket offices and purchasing tickets for trips anywhere with in the U. S. The postal authorities author-ities say it is o.k., and the Inter nal Revenue Department can find nothing wrong at this time in "beating the tax." According to reports, Canadian air line offices of-fices are doing a land office business in the sale of 'tax free' transportation to Americans From Detroit, it is reported that the town of Windsor, Canada, just across the river is swamped with business.
