"We were, just a family saloon," one pub owner said. "Then this thing hit and we were in business. I didn't like the music and I didn't understand the poetry, but we were in business." Conversations were beginning to crackle with the Beat lingo: "way out," "hip," "down." Everything was the most, the greatest, the craziest, the lowest. If you wanted to be with it, to be acceptable in the cafeterias and bus depots, to keep the girls interested, to be heard at all then you had to join them.

Representative JOHN KORAN Jr. .301 Certainly, most of us have enough to do during the cooler autumn weather without adding pruning to our chores. This is the season for planting it is the time when most trees and shrubs can best be set out. It is the time of the spade and spading fork and for digging what we used to call $10 holes for $5 plants (that's from the good old days when you could get some pretty nice specimens for $5). Add this to repairing the lawn, transplanting perennial seedlings to permanent spots, feeding, weeding, mowing and trimming the hedge (one pruning chore to be done as needed) and the weekends are pretty busy.
