Enjoy Mid Summer Beauty Of The Wild Flowers you will take the time to walk along a roadside in the country you will see all kinds of mid-summer blooms of beauty around you that go by the name of "common weeds." Some of these plants now growing in the wild were once cultivated in home gardens. They just outgrew their bounds or their seeds were scattered about by the winds and the birds. The Oxeye daisy is one of the most common of these plants, with its crisp white petals and yellow disk in the center. It grows up to 3 feet tall and can have blossoms up to 2 inches in diameter. Because it opens at sunrise and closes at sunset it was named "day's-eye." It is a native of Europe and Asia.

For simple yellow beauty the common meadow buttercup is a favorite of young and old. It can wave its head up to 3 feet tall to reach above the tall meadow grass, usually where there is moisture. Because the green parts are poisonous to cattle (they avoid it), the plants flourish, unmolested. It is a member of the big Ranunculaceae family that also includes cowslip, larkspur and monkshood. Thea shaggy clover can head be seen blossoms in clumps with stems that grow up to 2 feet high.

It's a popular flower of the bumblebee. A favorite in hay fields, it is believed to have been introduced to this country in 1747. Queen Ann's lace grows into fairy-like patterns that resemble a giant snowflake. It is a wild carrot and garden carrots were developed from the species (Daucus carota). Its cluster compounds can total 4 inches across.

Pull part of the plant up and you'll find it has scented, carrot-like roots. It is one of the most beautiful of wild flowers and opens when the humidity is right. You'll undoubtedly want to keep your distance if you come across the fascinating purple flower of the Canadian thistle. It is a native of Europe. There are laws against its cultivation in some states, but the seeds are spread by the winds.

The plant can grow to over 4 feet tall, with thorny spines that can be very painful to the touch. Goldfinches love the seed, which in some areas can be purchaser to use as wild bird food. Take a look in the meadows to see the various types of grass, some growing more than waist high. There is Tim- With The Golfers DOWN TO EARTH By Walter othy, with thin, spiked ends that are made up of hundreds of tiny flowers, orchard grass with tufted ends and barnyard grass that can grow to shoulder-height (5 ft.) with purple or pale green clustered ends. The violet-like (or sometimes white) flowers of cow vetch with its dainty green leaves will be found growing on fences where the plant has pulled itself up by its tendrils.

It can grow to 4 feet tall. You will also see it sprawling on the top of the soil, in the fields. Farmers grow it as fodder or to dig it into the soil as compost. Go into damp areas, in the woods or bedside a brook and you'll discover all kinds of graceful ferns. There's the giant woodfern up to 40 inches long, the marsh ferm with fronds to 30 inches and the Christmas fern that is sometimes used in wreaths.

Take a close look at the back of a leaf (frond) in the fall to see the bumpy spores by which these plants are able to spread to other areas. If you are lucky (or observant) you may see the showy cardinal flower near the bank of a brook. It is becoming scarce in many areas and for this reason it should never be picked. Its brilliant scarlet blooms can grow on stems up to 4 feet tall. Look upon the waters of shallow ponds and slowrunning brooks and you'll see the blooms of the lily spatterdock.

The yellow flowers with purple tinges on the outside will sometimes grow to inches in diameter. Green leaves of the plant floating around the blossoms often grow to 12 inches long and 9 inches wide. Stems will reach to depths of 6 feet. The plants make attractive food for deer and early settlers usually found good hunting in areas where it grew. Your pleasant wayside walk will not only remind you of the natural beauty around us, but it will also limber up your muscles to help you enjoy the activity in your home garden.

The young lady bolds a replica of the matchbox sized computer, the heart of the system that will lead to automatically controlled operations in vehicles. Automation's Effect On Cars NEW YORK, N.Y. (NAPS) Although nobody knows exactly what the cars of the future will be like, there is a lot of interesting speculation by scholars," as well as some concrete facts about present-day progress. The day may come, for example, when automobiles will run by electric, steam or atomic power.

Such developments would add fuel to the belief that any gasoline scarcity will little affect millions of motorists. One feature of the future may permit the highway driver to sit and read a newspaper or chat with his passengers without worrying about speed or steering. He may even play checkers, watch television or get some sleep. Installation of a two-inch-wide strip, of steel down each lane would make this possible. The strip would be bolted to the road surface.

Car equipment would include a magnetic follower tied into power steering, and front and rear devices tied into power brakes. HERE'S HOW the whole thing would work: Assume that you're going to head down a turnpike. As you come to the toll booth, the attendant gives you a toll card and sets a maximum speed on your automatic throttle. Once you go into antomatic control, the car will continually travel at this speed without any help from you. As you leave the toll gate, you drive onto the main highway and move into one of the lanes and center the car over the steel strip.

As soon as you are centered on the strip, a small light on the dash indicates that the magnetic follower has picked up the attraction from the strip. You push the automatic control button and the car then guides itself. The steering wheel becomes inoperative, so you can HILLIPS APPLIANCE INC. 1971 SYLVANIA Entertainment Line TY 5 Screen Sizes 3 Screen Sizes Stereo Stereo 295 SQ. IN.

Approaching the turnoff, you take the car out of automatic control and return to manual control to move over into the right lane and make the turn. Although such a metamorphosis in motoring is at best in the distant future, there is a more immediate clue to the kind of cars that will become common in the years to come.

This is found in the Computerized Energy Distribution and Automated Control System (CEDAC) which substantially changes the automotive electrical system as we know it today. The system could well be capable of controlling all automotive functions. Through a central computer, the driver will issue such commands as "wash the windows," "turn on the lights," and "lock the doors." It will lead to improved safety, increased reliability, easier trouble diagnosis, simple part replacement, better assembly procedures and more driver convenience. THE DRIVER needn't be nervous about service. A special external diagnostic computer will enable an unskilled mechanic to check the onboard computer, sensors and actuators by connecting to the system at any point.

He will obtain an instantaneous readout of the location of any system failures. Most repairs can be made by simply plugging in a replacement module. It is also predicted that the automated automobile of the future will include computerized controls for climate, braking, high. current, antiskid, power assist, fuel injection, transmission and ignition sub-systems. EDith Corbetts 'CUT UPS Zoo Table This table is made from a cardboard carton, cut into table shape with a serrated knife.

(Be sure to leave lots of cardboard around the corners, for sturdy legs.) Glue down a second, shallow box, on top, for the zoo, Then lots and lots of small boxes sideways, for the cages. The simplest animals are a bag of plastic ones from the dime store, but paper cut or animal crackers. or animals twisted from pipe cleaners are all fine. Crumpled up tissues, tinted green, or sponge snippets make good shrubbery. And if you have sand, the whole thing works out even better, because then patches can be worked out.

Finish it up with lots of small people, cut out or toy, to come to the 200 to visit the animals, and plastic-bag pockets, fastened down to the sides, to store the animals when they are not in use. A small toy or box truck or train adds a lot of play time, too. 20 to DISCOUNTS ON ALL CAMERAS PROJECTORS a and SCREENS BLACK RIVER Card winners were: Mrs. LADIES The Black River Country Club Ladies Association met Thursday for golf and cards.

They Record 'History In The Making' WASHINGTON (UPI) -Pat Nixon's staff director, Connie Stuart, may not write a book when her White House days are over, but she will have enough his historical film for a major documentary. When the First Lady is making a public appearance and newsmen are scurrying to keep up with the events Mrs. Stuart is always spotted running around with her movie camera.

This happened in Peru, where Mrs. Nixon hit her stride as a lady of mercy helping deliver emergency supplies to earthquake victims. It also is true in Washington when the President's wife makes a personal appearance. White House staff members rarely start out their jobs with the intention of writing books or making movies, but eventualy it gets to them. They are watching history in the making.

Fame and fortune could await them when their White House days are over. Even Lady Bird Johnson, who insisted during her five years as First Lady that she was only tape recording her memoirs, grandchildren," almost nightly will have "for a book on the stands before Christmas. It is all to the good. History is the story of people, which is why there is so much interest in first families and their impact on society. Historians outside the circle must go to the daily newspapers, mostly, to get the facts and' the perspective.

Mrs. Nixon says she keeps only an appointment book and jots down notes. Some hope she too will record her personal years in the White House. She is very articulate and has a feeling for the world around (CLIP FLASH BULBS Blue or White M3 M3B No. 25 No.
