Remember, paining not only improves the appearance but If the life of buildings. you have put off painting, thinking you are going to move or build, paint right now and chances are good that you will decide to stay where you are. You can paint your own house. This can be a real family "do it women and yourself" project children on the lower areas and the man of the house on the ladder for the high, ard jobs. At first te brush will look nughty little and the house very big, but after each day's work the area remaining begins to look smaller. Do some of the "getting ready" jobs after work or on week days. Sills probably will need a and you can do this from the inside. All the loose paint should be scraped off. Paint the trim first because it's easier and you can cover up smears when you do the body of the house. Also you might find that once the trim is painted the place is really all spruced up and you can save the big jab for later, when there are more funds available. It's a good idea to cover your shrubs, just as you do the furniture inside, to protect them from Remove mail boxes, splatters. lamps and shutters so you can paint behind them. Use calking guns to fill cracks that are too pro-long- es g, large for paint to "bridge". Eave the big walls for a week end so you will have time to finish at least one. Maybe your house is in top condition. What about fences, and sheds, garages or barns. You may gain a beautification project by letting "Tom Sawyers" loose with a brush on those areas.

Mayor Winn, chairman of the City Beautification Coordination comimittee, has asked that i pre pare a statment on weed control that can be used by all property owners for control of weeds and grass in the streets or on their own property. Dandelion, Chickweed, Plantain, Crabgrass or Other Lawn Weeds Controllable with 24D Theer is nothing that can make a lawn look spruced up like the absence of weeds, and application of barnyard manure or commercial fertilizer. Weeds mentioned above can toe controlled with 24D low colatile sprays, or lawn powders of 24D mixed, with fertilizer. The powders are the safest to use because there is no drift or other tender fumes to get on plants and cause damage. Roses, beans, squash, melons, grapes and most flowers are particularly sus- ceptable. Sprays should be used with great caution when these plants are present. Materials can be purchased locally or through the Third Ward committee. Control of Street Weeds and Grasses CMU This is a soil sterilant and except along ditches where there is a lot of moisture should control all weeds and grasses for a period of two to three years if applied at the rate of one quarter to one half pound .per square rod. This is to trees if applied dangerous where roots may reach into the treated area. It is also dangerous to crops if applied in ditches wheer it will wash down on crops with irrigation water. If applied in ditches it should be done in the fall but it can be safely used along sides of diches or between side walks and street.

Hail Storm Does Thousands of Dollars Damage Last Friday Home owners, farmers and turkey growers in the Nephi area this week have been surveying damage from one of the worst hail storms to hit this area in recent history.

The hail began falling on Friday at approximately 1 p. m. and continued for apporximately 20 In that few minutes minutes. flower gardens were riddled, trees alfalfa lost millions of leaves, fields in some areas were left as a field of sticks, and fruit trees were stripped of considerable of the new crop of fruit.

In a normal storm, the turkeys bunch up and the men were to guard against suffocation of the birds from the crowding.

Apricots were probably most heavily damaged fruit crop, inasmuch as they were more advanced. Apricots generally were knocked from the trees by the hail and those remaining will be damaged.
