January 26, 1974 6 Herald-Times Reporter, Manitowoc-Two Rivers, Wis. Ann Landers Trees Shaped by Espaliering Comments Prove Useful I i r. f4r 1 ft, 5 if ill Eugene Hilke presented a program. The Shape of It All, about the practice of espaliering trees, at the January meeting of the Manitowoc Garden Club at the Rahr Civic Center and Public Museum, Manitowoc. To espalier is to train a tree to grow in a flat plane against a wall, often in a symmetrical pattern, the speaker explained.

Hilke said that espaliering is usually done with fruit trees such as apple, plumb, cherry and peach. Most properly, an espalier is a trellis upon which a tree is trained so that its trunk and branches lie in one plane. They are useful for making boundary lines, emphasizing divisions between areas or for planting against walls, be added. "The trellis is made of three-quarter inch lumber; and it should be kept at least a foot away from the building to keep the tree cool. Dig a hole first so it will be easier to get out of the ground if you ever want to take it down.

The graft of the trunk should be above ground level. The lowest branch should be about 18 to 20 inches above ground," Hilke said. Hilke also said that it will take about three years of pruning and wiring. To espalier evergreens, he said, that gardeners might want to fertilize them because they grow slower. I-es pruning is required and some branches should be left bare to create an interesting effect, he said.

all over so he looks like a human being instead of an animal." The barber was in the middle. Here's how I handle those arguments. Whoever is paying for the haircut gets his way. But he'd better BE there. It's no good to send a kid over with instructions and money.

If there's an agrument in my shop between two people I ask a simple question "Who is paying for this haircut?" And that settles it. TONY, THE BEST DAMNED BARBER THIS SIDE OF SAIGON. DEAR TONY: Thanks for the short course. P.S., folks this isn't MY advice, it's Tony's. And he ought to know.

Add to this the eternal verity that most folks have to have someone to be better than. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Whv did you tell Fighting to Stay at 104" that she is probably the envy of her friends and to go ahead and enjoy an extra piece of fudge cake? Chances are she CAN'T. Be it physical or emotional, her capacity for food is probably limited, which is one of the reasons she is "Fighting to Stay at 104." Don't you realize it's just as rude to tell a thin person. "Eat more, you need it," as to say to a fat person.

"Don't eat anymore, you don't need it!" Eating patterns are second only to sex when it comes to being tied in with one's emotional health. Overeaters and undereaters are that way for a reason. And it's bad manners to comment on the eating procedures of others, either wav. I'm surprised vou didn't know this. DENVER DEAR DEN: Of course you are right.

And I DID know it, but like most people, there's a little clay around my ankles and I don't always come up with the best response every time. Thanks for a useful comment. DEAR ANN LANDERS: From time to time you have spoken out against injustices in a wide variety of areas. Will you please say something about archaic laws that are a Manitowoc Senior Citizen Calendar Lakeshore XN i i part of city ordinances? Would you believe that there existed on the books until recently an ordinance that said. "No person who is diseased.

maimed, or mutilated or in any way deformed so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object may appear in public." This ordinance was passed in 1939 in your own Chicago. Under that law. President Roosevelt would have been banned from appearing in public. As a polio victim he could have been considered "maimed." How such a law got passed in the first place is beyond me. Why they continue to sit on the books is another mvstery.

What's the answer? WINDY CITY WONDERER DEAR W.C.W.: Inertia. Nobody bothered (until recently) to look into the old codes and do something about them. Incidentally, I am told it is still unlawful in Chicago to sleep in a bakery or wear a hatpin whose point sticks out more than half an inch or let a pigeon fly over the 7th Ward. DEAR ANNLANDERS: I got mad when I read the letter from the barber who didn't know how to cut that kid's hair. The boy said, "Not too much off.

Leave it long in the back and trim a little off the sides." His old man yelled, "Cut it off ot tvents auction of white elephant items. St. Mary Home for the Aged, Manitowoc. Women interested in the guild are invited to attend. 8 p.m.
