27 A BASIO correctional training program dealing with criminal justice and the behavior and treatment of 'delinquents will begin Sept. 27, in Stroudsburg. The course is open to all per- sons actively engaged in crimi- nal justice and to those whose work, either for public or semi- public agencies or institutions, brings I hem In contact with the correctional field. The in-service training pro- gram will be held in Courtroom No. 1 at the Monroe County Courthouse.

The class will meet at 7:30 p.m. each Tuesday, for 24 wfc'eks. Mrs. Rose Mekeel, as- sociate professor of education at East Stroudsburg Slate Col- lege will serve as instructor. The course is based on the Green Thumb Way To Lick Dahlia Problems By Abraham DONT DIG DAIILJAS There two reasons garden- ers don't like dahlias: The clumps usually rot or shrivel in the modern cellar.

Also, the growing season is too short. The buds oome ou and are oft en nipped before frost can give you A chance to enjoy the blossoms. One of my readers has a way to Hck these problems and get' more mileage from her dahlias. She leaves them in the ground winter! Mrs. Maude Wohl- sohltgel, RD 3, Hunts Hollow, after 5 years of successfully leaving dahlia clumps outdoors ail winter Is convinced that's the only way to lick the warm cellar, late-blooming problems.

She writes; "Each year I leave my clumps in the ground. First, I cut the stalks off above the ground following a black frost. Then I put a small wire fence (the kind to keep dogs away from evergreens) around the edge where dahlias are growing. I rake up my iwple leaves and pack them inside border fence, until the packed pile is about 1 foot thick. Chicken wire can be placed over the leaves to keep them in.

Only Two Died In 195S. rhe tempera- ture dropped down to 29 degs, below zero, only two of my dahlias died. Aside from this, I've never lost any from the winter treatment. This year my dahlias were 10 feet tall and I've never bothered to disturb them once. My winter treatment makes them start blooming in July.

Before, they'd start bloom- ing in August or September. The tubers have been in the same- spot In the ground now for 6 years and I've never divided them. They are fed a liquid plant food (23-21-17) two or three times during the growing season and this is mixeti with DDT. Both are applied together. In spring the leaves are re- moved and the dahlias get a quick start as soon as weather I permits.

No more storing messy clumps in the cellar, not when you can store them in the ground Green Thumb Note: This is soil. A lack of water (plus fail- ure to pinch off spent blooms and seed pods) will throw your plants into a ''molt" and they'll refuse to bloom all summer. Petunias must be kept water- ed well, a point to remember next year. Where double petun- ias have been a real success, you'll be interested to know that rooted cuttings of them will bring forth flowers true to parents. Take two inch cuttings! from older stems, trim off bot- tom leaves and insert cuttings a fine tip.

I too have kept in a box of pure, moist sand. clumps over for a year, with protection. Hope our gardening, friends will give it a try this fall. Petunias If your petunias turned yel- low and shrivelled right up, chances are it was due to dry Keep in a bright window (shad- ed from direct sun). When cut- tings root, they can be potted in a soil mixture of sand, loam and peat and grown as house plants indoors.

Keep them pinched indoors so they'll be nice and bushy. QuestionBox Says Russian Man In Space HAGERSTOWX. Md. Rep. James M.

Quiglcy, (D-Pa), raid yesterday the Russians may well have man in space by the lime Soviet i Nikila Question of The Week: D. of Stroudsburg: "I've been wanting to make some dried arrangements for winter bouquets, but do not know what materials to use. Which Is best for preserving flowers: sand, borax, flour or Is something There are various materials to use. Ordinary household bor- ax is used on the flowers, or you can use sand, cornmeal or house- hold flour. My wife prefers a i of sand and borax, or sand and cornmeal to sand or borax alone.

Sand js slower working, borax acts too fast, making some flowers too brittle if they are not removt'd at the right time, A rtryi mixture of two thirds borax and one third sand works out well. Spikey flowers are usually laid on (heir sides on a layer of the water and glycerine. You'll be surprised to see the 1 results, L. East Stroudsburgr. "I'm interested in trying to grow some iris from seed.

The pods wore picked off but I don't know how to grow them. Will the. pJnnls come, true to seed?" Iris seed can be planted as fast as it ripens, or it can be al- lowed to dry and become hard and wrinkled. Sow the seed in a coldframe, using a sand-peat mixture making sure you re 1 move the seeds from the pods. Iris seed germinates slowly, of- ten remaining dormant for one or more seasons.

Seed sown now should germinate next May. Disinfect Seeds Some gardeners disinfect dry ripened seeds in book "The Challenge of Delin quency" by Dr. John O. Reinne- man and Dr. Negley Teeters.

Films related to the subject matter will be available, and outstanding leaders in the cor- rectional field will present lec- tures during the course. Among the topics to be cov- ered are development and func- tion of police, arrest and appre- hension and crime prevention and detection. Court, Jury Systems Studies will be made of the court and jury systems, proba- tion and parole, individual case studies, correctional institutions and the state's correctional pro- gram. Aspects of delinquency which will be considered are institu- tional diagnosis and dassifica- i modifying behavior through treatment, treatment of individual cases and crime pre- vention. There is no tuition or enroll- ment fee.

The course is spon- sored by the public service in- stitute of the Pennsylvania De- partment of Public Instruction.

PAST A St'llini; Quality I'tirnituTp for Less" Greentown Woman Sick Of 'Promises' By Pogjjy HHJKToft GKKKNTOW.N A nervous watch is being kept on the con- fluence of the 1'aupack and Wai- lenpaupack Creeks by Mrs. Harry Duccker, who is living with the problem of threatening flood- waters live years after the first "promises of flood Most recent of Iher.e "empty promises," as Mrs. Dueckcr terms them, was one made by Congressman Stanley Prokop. of the 10th Congressional District.

Six weeks ago, Congressman Prokop visited the trouble spot where eleven persons died in the 1955 flood. He promised "im- mediate action" and added that he would be on the spot in person to "Turn the first shovel full of ground," when the move was made, "Within a short time, lour weeks or less," to clean up the area's flood problems. Hasn't Scon Shovel "I haven't even seen a shovel, much less a Prokop," Mrs. Duecker said bit- terly this week. "I haven't heard a word from him.

He promised to see the Governor the day after our talk more than six weeks ago. I haven't heard a word about that, not about the action that was to be taken immediately." Congressman Prokop promised that he would see that action was taken in two places: iti removing a dyke which now causes water to back up, creating a swampy area near the Duecker home; and in "rip-rapping" the crumbling banks of a new channel. This lat- ter channel was the re-located Paupack Creek changed by the Highway Department in an ef- fort to eliminate the dangerous formation of the Wallenpau- pack and Paupack Creeks. A shaped confluence was ex- pected to eliminate a whirlpool which threatened to back up the waters of the Wallenpaupack Into the towns of Greentown and New- foundland in the event of high waters. "First we were wailing for bet-; tor weather," Mrs.

Duecker "Now it is almost Winter, and i will soon be too late to do any-1 thing. Then we will wait for: Spring. It has been five years! since the flood.
