A.yaduW Police Radio Station J.

LEO Sometime ago we reported la this column that a police broad casting unit would be installed and manned in the village. stated that it would be in operation sometime during February. It has not as yet been completed. Some have asked why and what's hap pened? It seems that securing a wave length from the Federal Commu nications Commission and the necessary licenses to construct luch a station was more complicated than expected. The equipment had to be manufactured to certain specifications.

Then too, the vil lage and the town had to agree on certain details concerning the operation of it as a Joint venture. The police headquarters had to be remodeled and revamped to ac commodate both police forces and to house the now equipment All these things required more time and more consideration than was originally We are glad, however to report here that the difficulties have been ironed out and the Chief has received that the equipment will be received, installed and tn operation by May 15th. Agreements have been -consum mated so that it will operate in this manner: The village police force and the town police force will make their headquarters on the second floor of the South Buf- Sez Zig to Zag Zig: This is one of those stories that we dislike to tell and we simply can't stand to hear about, but it concerns a certain little ro bin redbreast who met with very foul play a few. days "ago. Zag: Its hard to understand what child in Hamburg or, in fact anywhere in these United States could have' such a bestial quirk of mind as to torture a fr tendly robin redbreast and then go off to leave him to fight his own.

losing battle of life. Zig: A certain gentlman, father of two school age boys, was home for lunch and noticed a great com motion in a vacant lot nearby. Two big dogs were righting over something and, curious-like, he went out to see. He found a robin tethered by a string, fastened at one end to Us leg and at the other end to a stick of wood securely driven into the ground. The two dogs were all but tearing the bird to pieces the youthful perpetrator of the crime was likely eating his lunch, km some nearby home, maybe watching out a corner of his eye.

Zag: The gentleman took up the little robin, untied the string and as soon as he could make it to the animal doctor on Clark' St told him his story and Inquired where he could get some help for his little bird friend. The. doctor, also being a gentleman and very kind of heart, took the little bird, clean ed up his wounds and the gentleman on his way with the assurance that Mr. Robin- Red breast would get the kindest of car. Mr.

doctor would not take any money for his time and said that lie would keep the bird In his hospital ward until was well and could fly again. Births Mrs. Smith Have a Sen Mr. and Mrs. G.

The station will be in charge of and operated under the supervision of Chief Norman Haas, Chief of tno Village Police Department The village has purchased and will Install on short-wave broadcasting unit and mobile units for Its police cars.

The town has purchased a similar short-wave broadcasting unit to be installed and kept in readiness for auxiliary use, as well as mobile units for its police cars. A wave length has been assigned to the village. The town will pay the village. 175.00 a month rent for the use of this headquarters and will furnish two police officers who with the two police officers fur nished by the village will man the telephone and broadcasting station twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In our opinion, this arrangement will- be exceedingly beneficial to the village and, the town alike.

It means that whether live in the village or in the town, you can call the police department and get immediate response. A patrol car will reach your home or your place business within a few min utes after your telephone call. It means that for the first time in either the village, or the town, if a citizen needs a police officer im mediately, he will be able to secure the assistance. Our compliments go to both police forces and their cooperative attitude. GARDEN GAB A.

GARDENER Last week-end was: not even faintly reminiscent of spring and not very conducive to doing much in the garden. The most I can say for myself is that I got someone to plow my garden. "V- Mac was spending the week-end in bed with the 'flu" and suggested find someone else so I hailed passing tractor motorist and It was done in about one-half hour. Then I got out the little "putt-putt," disced a small section and planted my peas. At least they were planted in April by about 12 hours.

This business of getting seeds to germinate continues to be surrounded by a huge lack of knowledge as far as I am. concerned A few days ago, I got a letter from the Men's Garden Clubs Of America saying that all but two of the annuals they are. testing this year should, be germinated at 680. F. Ipomea, or morning glory, should be held at 86 (my gosh, that's hot!) and larkspur, should be started at 590 F.

wonder why 68 "I have had several discussions with one the men at work who is a good gardener. He still starts all his seed ha sterilized soil and 1 have tried to argu him into using vermlculit as you don't have sterilize and. the roots develop so are easily removed from the medium. I thought I had him convinced until I gave him half a packet of ntuuulua ti grin us (monkey-flower) and stimulus moschatus (musk plant). Mine were planted' in verraieu- llt.

The ti grin us germinated very well but because of damplng-off or Improper feeding, there would be no tigrlnus plants In my greenhouse had he not com to the rescue with some of those miserable soil-grown' plants of his. Then to add insult to injury, my moschatus germinated very poorly and finally died while his germinated, like fleas on a dog. Rut it can't that soil Is better than vermlcullte it says her in small print! There must "be some other variations that- wer not controlled. Incidentally, Justin Lankier called my attention to. the fact that a few weeks ago was stated in this column that my seed bed-was operated at 70 which- is mighty hot Yes, should have been T0 Fv It is with sadness that I learned of the passing of'' a- great flower-lover especially wild flowers, Fred Houghton.

Many of the Men's Garden Club will remember his talk to the club several, years ago and the trip we to his wild- iowi ti wX iU UiJ Zo.
