Members of the Lavida When it comes to flower arranging it is verv difficult to compete with Mrs. N W. (Dructlla) Tavlor of North Farmington, although she is very modest about her accomplishments of the past, she has a vast selection of arrangements SHE NOT only uses the beautiful live flowers of the season, but the dried flowers and leaves as well. Also among her superb collection, she has a beautiful shell arrangement in which she gathered all sues, types and colors of ocean shells along the beaches of Hawaii and made the most unique and attractive arrangement of flowers and leaves from the shells. Another one is a lovely one made from large cactus leaves, she stripped and dried which look like a large fan and accented it with dried tulip pods This arrangement won her a special award in the 1976 Davis County Fair and she received a beautiful sterling silver bowl as her prize. ONE OF her other favorites is the dried wood roses from Hawaii she has cleverly with miniature wood roses. She has been interested and has enjoyed this hobby all of her life. arranged NEW addition this year to the Davis County Fair Flower A Show, according to Mrs. Glenna Garrett, chairman, will be pressed or dried flowers assembled or ar- rangements under a glass dome, glass boxes or some type of containers.

Mrs. Leavitt gives some suggestions that may be helpful to those who are interested in preparing dried flowers or leaves for the flower show. FLOWERS can be dried in oven, with use of Micro-wav- e a supportive substance or which is l in most hobby shops. Another suggestion is a mixture of equal parts of borax and commeal, the last, less expensive and easiest use is Kitty Litter. Other ways to prepare your agents and dry your favorite blooms from your garden, are sand drying and air drying. with Silica-Ge- available LEAVES AS well as flowers can be dried in the Micro-wav- e oven. The following steps may be helpful for dryMicro-wav- e ing of flowers the way. (1) Select fresh flowers or leaves you desire to per-mamz- e. (2) Select containers deep enough so the agent can cover the entire bloom. (3) inch layer of Place a one-hathe agent in container. Clip f stem of flower about inch long, then place flowers in agent, face up. With a spoon sprinkle granules of the agent gently between petals of the flowers, making certain every petal is covered and not bent out of shape by the weight of the agent. Petals should be completely covered so they are not visible. lf one-hal- (4) AFTER flowers are carefully covered by agent, slip dish into micro-wav- e oven with another dish filled with water to provide moisture. Set oven at one to three minutes depending on the particular flower. (5) After flowers have been baked, remove from oven and leave in agent for allotted time. When removing flower from agent, gently tap the flower until all granules of the agent are removed. (6) Stems can then be attached to the flowers by taping wires or floral sticks to the half inch remainder of the flower stem. They are now ready for arranging. A GLASS container filled with water and set inside the oven protects the flowers from completely drying out. This is a must. All flowers should be picked just as they are reaching their peak of bloom If picked past their prime, flowers will continue to turn brown and nothing can successfully prevent it Custom Homes, Additions, Remodel WHEN THE flower is removed from the oven, it should be allowed to stand ten "Build with someone remove the drying material and place in shredded paper in the correct positions for a who Cares" hours, to set, after this, few hours of air drying. and Marigolds chrysanthemums are the easiest to dry, taking from two to six minutes depending upon the size of the blossoms. Marigolds retain all their vibrant color and much of their flexibility. They feel and look as though they have just been picked. THE finished dry can be arrangements freshened periodically by gently spraying with warm water, just enough to remove the dust. Simply wipe off leaves with a damp cloth or take a small water color brush and brush the leaves, A second method is sand This takes drying. experience. Use clean fine sharp salt free sand, wash, sift and oven dry. This process works slowly and takes ten to 20 days. Other media is better. OVEN BAKING speeds the process. One layer of flowers per container. Place half inch d sand (warm to the hand) over flowers. Place in d to 125 oven degrees. Turn heat off after 20 minutes and when container is cool, place in warm dry pre-heate- shady place. Repeat twice daily for five days. Remove sand and brush flowers to remove particles. The third method is Kitty Litter. It has a great absorbing quality and is made of ground clay for smooth surface. FOR orchids and daisies, Selica-Ge- l is preferrable. By ROSELYN KIRK Construction of the addition Davis the County Courthouse could begin as early as October, based on a tentative timetable set up by the Davis County Commis- to sion. THE commission authorized Architect Richard Stringham, of the firm of Carpenter, Stringham and Associates, to draw up the final plans for the addition He will complete the plans in about six weeks. Commissioners said they would call for bids when the final plans are complete. They are hopeful they can get the footings in the ground before winter, estimating that it will be about the middle of October before construction begins. DURING the meeting with the architect, Davis County Department heads met with the architect to give suggestions on the plans for their department areas. Although the commissioners did not make the final decision, they indicated that all three floors of the addition may be completed, as well as extensive remodeling in other parts of the building el ble. DINATEDINOIES V Interest Paid Every Six Months Original offering $23 million Ask for offering circular at any Firs! Security Bonk OF UTAH, N.A. N Borax drying - 23 borax and 13 sand. Materials can be reused. If lumpy, sift. It works fast, if left one day too long, may burn and bleach the colors of the flowers. WITH THE commeal method, either one part borax and six parts commeal or 23 borax and 13 white corn-mea- l. Have materials dry (takes one to three days longer than mixture of borax and sand). To dry leaves effectively, put long pyrex dish in oven and cover with a strip of paper towel. Place a branch of three leaves across the towel with the largest leaf about four inches. Cover with second strip of towel, turn the oven to one and one half minutes and when the bell rings, turn the leaves over and repeat the process. When the three minutes have elapsed, remove the branch. For larger branches of leaves allow more oven time. AIR DRYING - These flowers and materials shrink. Dry enough to allow for this loss and also breakage. Steps to take ((A) - Hang- ing upside down: (1) Cut flowers at peak of bloom. Pick straw flowers when color is showing. (2) Strip the foliage, dehydrate as quickly as possible. (3) Tie in bunches, large flowers hang separately. (4) Dry in warm dark and dry place. (5) Takes two to three weeks, depends on plant. (B) - Laid Flat; (C) Place in deep container. (D) Store materials in boxes in dry dark place. Treat with moth balls. There is a glycerin treatment which is used primarily for foliage preservation. Stand stems three to five inches of 13 glycerin and 23 water until leaves absorb or color changes. Takes about two weeks. Leaves become darker with longer soaking. (E) WHITE or clear shellac, with wood alcohol (half and half). Colorless nail polish can be used but is expensive. Dip or paint with a brush. Mrs. Garrett suggests that you experiment and find the method and kind of flowers that will dry best for you and you are most satisfied with. Pure colors dry better than or subtle shadings except daffodils and pansies LEAVITT is encouraging everyone to enter MRS. their prize flowers and arrangements in the fair this year and especially try drying some of your special blooms and leaves and make arrangements.

BY January 1979 the county could have all of the revenue sharing money necessary to complete the construction since that money has been set aside for the project the. last two years. Mr. Stringham estimated that $1.2 million would complete the entire structure. Mr. Stringham estimated that the first floor addition and remodeling on the first floor would cost about $850,000 with an additional $200,000 per floor for the second and basement levels. He said the county would save money if they decided to complete all the construction at once. suggested that the commissioners call for two kinds of bids-o- ne for the HE main floor construction and another for the complete construction of the three floors. In any event, the building will need to be constructed in phases since some departments will have to be moved into remodeled facilities before construction can begin in other segments of the building. THE preliminary plans call for the county commission chambers to be moved to the northeast section of the present building The addition, which will be added to the south side of the present building, calls for the addition and the remodeled section of the main floor of the building to be set up as a public access area containing the county clerks, the county treasurer's and the county assessors offices A south entrance will provide an entry to that part of the When building remodeled, the county commissioners office will be slightly larger than the present chambers and will be moved back to the northeast area, where it was located when the building was designed in 1890. THE was building redesigned in 1930, with the addition where the county commission chambers is housed being completed in 1957 Mr. Stringham estimated the construction time of the addition at about 14 to 15 months. THE commissioners worked with the architect and department heads to see if all county government depart- ments that are currently without housing can be accommodated in the 24,300 ad ditional feet of space on the three floors. The tentative plans call for the second floor addition to house expanded space for the Davis County planners and the surveyors office. THE county attorney office is proposed to be moved to the southwest section, although county attorney Milton Hess It doesnt matter said, where the office is located as long as all the attorneys are housed together. At present the law library and the main county attorneys office are in the northwestern area of the courthouse, while other attorneys are officed in the southeast section of the building. Commissioner C.E. Moss said that he is hopeful there will be room in the second floor addition to move the County Extension Service and the Community Action Program (CAP) back into the court house That is if the second floor addition is approved AT present the Extension Service is located across the street from the courthouse in a building that costs the county about $12,000 a year. The CAP office is located in a house on the southwest section of the courthouse building lot, which will have to be torn down when construction begins COMMISSIONERS are still considering plans for the juvenile court to be housed in the northwest section of the main floor when the present offices are moved to the south addition. Several months ago the First District Juvenile Court officials had requested that facilities be made available for them in the new building addition saying that the conditions m the present juvenile court are the poorest in the state. AT THAT time John McNamara, state Juvenile Court Administrator, said that the Utah Legislature had appropriated $15,000 to be used for building construc- tion Commissioners said they would continue to explore the matter of financing with the juvenile court officials to see how much money would be necessary to complete the juvenile court, waiting room and other offices that would be needed. Seven offices, including the intake and clerical staff, will be necessary to house juvenile court personnel. Presently the court is housed in a building at 88 South Highway 106, Farmington, which juvenile officials say is so small that the issue of expanded space has been listed as a first priority need by the Utah Court System ALTHOUGH County Commissioners did not say that the basement addition would definitely be completed, they asked Dr. Richard Johns to specify building needs of the 45 EAST GENTILE, NEW SHIPMENT A.
