'Midsummer Night's Dream' At Playhouse On Saturday evening, February 27, the Pittsburgh Playhouse will open a four weeks' booking of one of the most elaborate and unique productions of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" ever to be presented.

Playhouse Producer Frederick Burleigh has prevailed upon Henry Boettcher of the Carnegie Tech Drama School to recreate this production as he did it years ago at Carnegie Tech's Little Theatre. The ingenious use of marionettes along with flesh and blood actors to tell the fanciful story was one of the delightful features of that presentation. Also remembered from Mr. Boettcher's original production are the high good spirit of his direction, the rollicking slap-stick of the low comedians, and the beautiful effects achieved with scenery and costumes. An unusual performance schedule will be used for this production only.

All performances Monday through Wednesday will be presented at 7:30 p. m. This means that the play will be over at 9:45 p.m. enabling family groups to return to their homes at an early time. Performances on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will begin at the usual 8:30 p.m.

and will be over at 10:45 p.m. Fallowfield Man, Daisyt'n Girl Are Wed Miss Marilyn Ann Matuck became the bride of Wesley Lammay at a ceremony Sunday, January 17, at 2:30 p.m., in Pricedale Union Church.

No Crab-Grass Next Summer! "New chemicals kill the seedlings and keep crabgrass out of lawns permanently!" says William H. Daniel, Purdue Univer(sity turf specialist, in the March issue of The American Home magazine. In his article, "Farewell To Crabgrass," Daniel tells about the new materials that can prevent crabgrass. One application any time before crabgrass getsstarted will keep the pest out of good grasses for the season, he says. All a lawn owner has to do is spread toxic concentrations of the proper materials uniformly over a lawn, and crabgrass seedlings will be killed soon after they germinate.

Established grasses (those already growing) won't be seriously affected, SO only the crabgras will be selectively prevented. This is known as pre-emergent treatment. The other and more familiar way to control crabgrass is to kill the plants after they have grown by applying chemicals to the foliage. This postemergent method currently re quires a minimum of two applications, usually made in midsummer when a lawn may be almost pure crabgrass! Observe common-sense rules and precautions when storing and using crabgrass preventives. Follow the instructions on the package just as you would for any other garden chemical.

Research men and product distributors have found no evidence of harm to pets or children. Don't put crabgrass preventers on unless a lawn is established. On old lawns apply either in autumn or very early spring. It a new lawn was started from seed last fall, it may be treated early this spring. Lawn grasses should be big enough to have been mowed twice; their larger size and deeper' roots increase their resistance.

Look for a pillow that is plump and comfortable and that will be long lasting. Feathers, down, rubber foam, and manmade fibers, such as Dacron, Acrilan and Celafil, make excellent fillings for pillows.
