Homemaking Tips By Miss Bertha Landis Home Demonstration Agent Homemakers today are reviving an old custom of growing house plantfe. House plants are not only decorative, but they also help create a more pleasant environment around the home. They return a lot of pleasure and relaxation for only a small amount of work. -j- The successful culture of plants requires conditions which qre even more difficult to maintain indoors. Green plants require adequate sunlight, optimum temperatures, fresh air, proper watering. and the right soil preparation, including fertilization. Almost any container for house plants is satisfactory. Suggestions for potting plants, shifting from one pot to a larger one, pruning and shaping plants, and propagation of new plants are available at the county extension office. < Selection of plants that will grow under normal tioffie conflitiotiswni avoid failure and disappointment These-plants must be able to withstand extreme change in temperature and a wide variation in humidity and drafts. This and other information is contained in Purdue University extension bulletin 20lT "House Plants,” which is available at the county extension office.

'Wake-up' Types Os Americans Studied Study Is Underway At Furniture Show CHICAGO (INS) — Americans, the world’s most surveyed people, are now telling the scientists, all about one of their most common but personal habits —how they wuke up in the morning. And what have the researchers , lound? Nothing more startling than what was long Suspected — the majority of us wake up tired and unwilling to spring out of bed. But, more importantly, researchers now have some idea why some of us are slow • starters, others grouchers and others "rise-and-shiners.” It depends ion whether ,you are a ‘‘morning*’ or "evening” type physiologically and on your social and economic situation. Psychologist Peter E. Seigle, a member of the committee on human development at the University of Chicago and consultant to a_ bed manufacturing company (the Englander Co.), has been surveying "wake-up" typies at the current winter furniture) show in Chicago. His findings compare with results obtained with a "control” 'group of some 150 family members and individuals carefully selected throughout the years to provide a good cross-section of the American public. Seigle found that most people are awakened by an alarm clock, that almost halt -teel '''**'*~ grouchy or dazed ’and that most men eat a big breakfast and most women gulp a cup of coffee. He also, found that unmarried men complain more than uhmarried women in the morning. Seigle safid his approach emphasized the "social and psychological factors which contribute to our unwillingness to get up in the morning,” explaining: "Each factor—age, sex, social and economic, status—contributes in its own special way. case or difficulty of getting up was related to satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the requirements of. the day ahead.” Here are some of the typical "wakeup” patterns revealed by flipping through Seigle’s data: Unmarried career girl — awakened by clock - radio, she is grouchy at first and doesn't help the situation much with her "cup-of-coffee” breakfast. Successful and settled older man — wakes up with “seif • starter*.’ mechanism by habit-andis cheerful.’ Had a big breakfast with his kids and wife. Harassed housewife — awakened when three children pounce on her. Dazed, she makes,, husband breakfast, but has only/ a cup of coffee herself, \

Eternal lover —thia father of four children is awakened gently by bis wife. He is cheerful and —instead of eating breakfast — kisses bis wife.
