A Shining City Our Mayor has called for the next seven days, less Sunday, to be paint-up, fix-up, clean-up week in Decatur. Let’s get behind Old Decatur, and really fix ’er up! There’s nothing more attractive to a motorist or passerby than a beautiful city with clean, neat homes, lovely gardens, swept walks, trimmed hedges and clean vacant lots. Even the main street can use some fixing up. It’s time to wash windows, fix up that old rusty, unpainted sign, and show that there’s still life in the old business. A good-loooking, prosperous main street generates confidence, and use. And every property owner on main street must realize that if he doesn't wake up. main street can die! Yes, die! Attractive new shopping centers, with plenty of parking, can make a ghost town of main street, but only if property owners let their shops run down, the roofs leak, the doorhandles fall off, or the walls and foundations go un-, repaired. - —• — It wouldn’t cost much for every building owner on main streeet to knock off those old-fashioned gaynineties cornices on the building tops, and put modern, goodlooking false fronts across unused second floors. And merchants — how about you? Do you have the proper lighting to show up your window, or do shoppers have to strain to see in, and settle for a reflection of business across the street? Have you ever thought of these modern heatlights that can melt the snow from your sidewalk, and warm your customers as they pass by, and then suddenly stop to see what you have for sale through well-lit, unteamed windows? Think of the novelty — it would outdraw any big city! Yes, every householder should immediately take steps to improve his home and/or business. And how about your car? Does it need a Spring wash as bad as the editor’s? Is your mail box up, and in good condition? Is the grass mowed, and the flower beds spaded for spring planting? Now’s the time for painting, too. That front porch, back door, bird’ house, garage, or maybe it’s the year to paint the whole hopse. And while you’re fixing things up, consider some new appliances and things for the house — it will give your family a whole new attitude toward life! This is the week, let’s get started — paint-up, fix-up, clean-up for a better Decatur!!!

Best Home Buy Easiest to Sell If you are shopping for a home, it is important to remember that the “best bargain” is usually the one that would be easiest to sell if it became necessary to do so, suggests the Institute of Home Designers. Quoting the old adage that “the house easiest sold is the one most intelligently bought," it points out that once you buy a home you also become a potential seller. It says that the average home-buyer owns his home for less than ten years. Within that time, he either moves to a different community; he needs either a larger house or a smaller one; or his family has been disturbed by death or other factors. Virtually all real estate brokers and other authorities agree that the most saleable house is one with a modem kitchen, bathroom and basement, the institute says. It explains that these sections of the house have been dramatically “updated” through the use of modern materials and that whether a bouse is regarded as old-fashioned or not will depend upon these areas. Kitchen is Important There is a dramatie, immediate-ly-striking difference between a modem kitchen and one with inadequate storage space, appliances that are poorly arranged, and counter-top, floor and wail surfaces that are difficult to clean. The difference between an up-to-date and antiquated bathroom is equally marked. A modern room has bright, easy-to-clepn appliances, attractive floors and walls, and good cabinet space and lighting. “In recent years there has been a growing recognition of the value of a well-lighted basement that is easily accessible to the outdoors. Home-buyers now look for a basement that makes storage easy, makes it easy for the youngsters to use as a playroom, for Dad to use as a workshop, and for Mother to bring her wet laundry from the washing machine to the drying yard without going through the house. Outside Exit Valuable “A basement need not be ‘finished off’ to add to the attractiveness and sales appeal of a house. If it is adequately lighted and his its own exit to the outdoors, the home-buyer can visualize the possibilities of adding floor and ceiling tiles and wallboard and making attractive rooms as a do-it-yourself project later.” The institute points out that successful home-buyers are careful to follow the trends so that their home will keep its appeal through the years. For example, it is important to note whether a neighborhood is on the up-grade or downgrade. If the former, the value may decline despite the homeowner’s best efforts to keep it up-to-date.

xB ■ B fr B i There are two varieties of bush sweet peas. Sweetheart, which grows 8 inches high and a newer variety, Bijou, which reaches > foot in height. Both are real conversation pieces. ||FW| EBgB ' Royal Ensign is the name of this bush-type morning glory i which has true ultraSnarine flowers with white halos surrounding the yellow throats. Many blooms practically cover ptanta ! When is a vine not a vine? When it’s the bush form of a I flower that normally grows as a vine. Surprisingly, there’s a bush form of the popular morning glory and also two bushy 'varieties of the equally popular sweet pea. The buri* form of the morning glory is named Royal Ensign.

This has flowers of a deep, bright, true pltra-marine blue which are set off by the white halos which surround the rich golden throat of each flower. The bush grows only 8 inches tall; is covered with flowers so that the green hardly shows. The bush forms of sweet pea are named Sweetheart and Bijou (French fog jewel) and a 1 sweetheart and a jewel they jare. Sweetheart grows only 8 inches high; Bijou is taller, I growing to a foot in height. ; Both varieties are available !only in mixed colors and these .include all ,the colors usually (associated with sweet peas: white, cream, shades of pink land rose, red, scarlet, lavender .and dark blue.

In the south and the southwest portions of the country seeds of these sweet peas can be sown in late summer or! early fall to flower in the win-; ter. In the north they are sown} as soon as soil can be worked, in spring. Bijou is a particu-! larly early - flowering variaty,! blooming a full month before} summer-flowering varieties. < Plants of both Sweetheart > and Bijou are upright and com-} pact, so use comparatively little, area. Royal Ensign is more spreading than either sweet pea, ( but still needs only a little over> a square foot for a plant. So, if you haven’t room for the : vine forms of these plants, grow j the bush forms. They give big ■ returns for small space. >
