Christmas Shoppers, Students Warned Against Auto Thieves

CHICAGO — Don’t become an unwilling Santa Claus this Christmas season, warns the National Automobile Theft Bureau, the organization maintained by insurance companies for auto theft investigation and recovery. William J. Davis, manager of the western division of the NATB said that holiday shoppers who leave their cars unlocked and packages in the back seat are providing a wrapped up Christmas present for auto thieves. He said Christmas gifts on a seat of an unlocked auto present an open invitation to thieves to get two birds with the same stone — the car and the packages — and have an early Christmas. He urged shoppers to lock their cars, put the ignition key in their pockets and place packages in auto trunks. Mr. Davis estimated auto thieves will steal approximately sls to sl7 million of autos and items from cars in five large midwestern states during December. This is based on experience from 1967 auto thefts in Illinois. Indiana, Michigan, luissuun and Ohio and also on the 24 per cent increase in auto thefts this year. During all of 196 the estimated total number of autos s’olen in each of the five midwestern states was: Illinois, 45,931; Indiana, 16,136; Michigan, 33,030; Missouri, 16,341; and Ohio, 34,056. Mr. Davis also warned college students to be especially careful ,in protecting their packages and automobiles from thieves. * college students are victimized more than any other group. They are prime targets for car thieves,” he said. The NATB official explained that many college students drive high - performance sports cars and even motorcycles, appealing items for car thieves prowling parking lots of colleges and surrounding areas. Students have a habit of leaving valuable property in unlocked cars and this provides undue exposure and opportunity for auto thieves, Mr. Davis said.

Poinsettias In Wide Variety LAFAYETTE — Shoppers this holiday season will find the traditional poinsettia available in a wide variety of colors, shapes and forms, says John A. Wott, home environment horticulturist. The prized part of the poinsettia is the colored bracts or leaves and not the true flower which often falls soon after the plant is purchased, Wott says. If the small flower parts do fall, the showy bracts still remain quite attractive. In recent years, interest has developed in the white and pink cultivars. These usually have similar flowering characteristics to the red cultivars and also similar lasting ability. Four

main cultivars will comprise the major portion of the traditional red poinsettia available in Indiana florist shops this year, Wott adds. Barbara Ecke Supreme has good red color and excellent bract size. However, the leaves and bracts tend to drop quite easily and it usually requires mere intensive care. It is extremely susceptible to temperature changes as well as moisture (watering). The cultivar Elizabeth Ecke is a little more rugged, has a deeper bract color and better bract texture. Paul Mikkelsen requires less care than most poinsettia cultivars. It retains the bracts and leaves well, even though the flower parts may drop easily. The bracts are normally somewhat lighter red and smaller

than those found in the previously mentioned Ecke cultivars. A new introduction which is available in limited amounts is Ecke’s Point C-l. This new cultivar reportedly has longer longevity than other cultivars, longer bracts, longer retention of the flowering parts, and better leaf size and color. Both Ecke’s Point C-l and Paul Mikkelsen have strong stems* and do not require staking as do other cultivars. Many florists are also now offering multifltfwered plants — plants that have been pinched once during the growing process. Traditionally, most poinsettias have teen grown and sold three single stem plants per pot. With the introduction of new cultivars, it is now possible to grow a multistem plant, and get two-four branches and flowers per plant,

Wott points out. The new cultivars offer even flowering of all the stems, and thus the multistem plants are equally as good as the single stem plants. If you are interested in the new colors and forms of poinsettia, better order from your florist early, for supply may be limited in your area.
