County highway crews ready for coming snows

Don Forney, assistant supervisor, said there are 1,300 mUes of road to maintain with 16 routine snow plow trucks, eight of which are in the Lakeland area. “If people take that into consideration, they might understand what we have to contend with.'* He further stated that the plowing begins with two inches of

The Mother Earth News Make Christmas tree from trimmings

Perhaps you don't want to kill a tree for Christinas this holiday season. And maybe you don't want to purchase one of those plastic or tinsel replicas, either. Well, don’t despair, because here’s away to have a “real” indoor holiday evergreen without cutting one down. Simple make your Christmas tree . . . from prunings! Almost anyone should be able to find the raw material for a prunings tree. Just about any I type of evergreen will do. We’ve used pyracantha, holly, juniper, and arborvitae as well as the more familiar (in this application, at least) spruce, pine, and fir. Rural homesteaders will probably be able to prune trees in the back forty... improving their woodlots while they do so. Folks in urban or suburban areas can trim branches from evergreen shrubs ... or even pick up — often free of charge — trimmings from Christmas tree lots. In order to construct a do-it-yourself tannenbaum, you’ll first need to gather (1) a supply of evergreen branches from two to six feet long, (2) a big waterproof “planter” such as a plastic wastebasket or trash can, glazed ceramic pot, or large stoneware crock (don’t use an ungalvanized steel container, because it might rust through after weeks of

snow, one inch of snow accumulation on roads generally requires sanding at intersections. The time the ptowing begins basically falls on the sheriff’s department. Forney remarked that his department works “hand and hand’’ with the sheriff’s department, basically because deputies are out on the road all hours. “If they call in and suggest we start, we start,” commented Forney. He explained the county officers will notify the dtopat-

PRESIDENTIAL GREETINGS - Elmer Haab of Milford recently celebrated his 82nd birthday and among other cards and wishes for a happy birthday, Haab received greetings from the president of the United States. Haab’s card read as follows: “Nancy and I are happy to send our congratulations for your birthday. We hope your special day is filled with warmth and celebration and that you enjoy much happiness in the year to come. The card had the presidential seal at the top and was personally signed by Ronald Reagan.”

contact with water), (3) wire for fastening branches in place, and (4) enough sand or pea gravel to fill your container three-quarters full. There are probably any number of ways to assemble a batch of limbs into an attractive tree. However, we’ve found it easiest to first center the tallest branch in the empty container, and then wire the smaller limbs to it — one by one — making sure the cut end of each branch extends down to the bottom of the container (where it can pick up moisture and stay fresh). It’s best to start with the limbs that will form the upper branches of your tree. Begin wiring them to the “trunk” at a point high enough to cause their tips to splay out prettily around the central branch (you might also want to wire these upper limbs tb the trunk at regular intervals below the top tie). Then just work your way downward, attaching each consecutive whorl of branches at a point a bit lower on the trunk than the previous — higher — limbs, and allowing their ends to drape out farther to give the festive fir its taper. Keep adding greenery, trimming it to size and shape as necessary, until your evergreen is full and symmetrical ... then

chers who in turn contact Forney or Richard Winebrenner, supervisor. “In the winter we don’t actually have a set time. It depends on the amount of snow that is blowing and drifting. “When we get a tot of drifting snow, we (the highway department) would like people to stay off the roads until such time we get them open or the snow stops blowing.” He added during this time of drifting snow there are a tot of sightseers. Forney advised everyone that

pour the sand or pea gravel into the contaner around the base of the newly created tree in order to provide ballast and anchor the branches. Finally, pour in enough fireproofing solution, or water, to saturate the sand or gravel thoroughly. More liquid should be added whenever the sand appears to be drying out on top. (A simple fire-retardant solution can be made by combining the following ingredients in a gallon of water: 1 cup of ammonium sulfate, 4 cup of boric acid, 2 tablespoons of borax, and .4 cup of 3 percent hydrogene peroxide. These are all available from any drugstore, if you don’t have them on hand already. When watered with this liquid, your tree should stay fresh, fragrant, and safe from ten days to two weeks, or about the same length of time as would a whole cut tree.) Large evergreens win usually have to be constructed indoors because the sand and the tree together makes them awkward to move ... but you’U find cleaning up relatively easy if you assemble your tinsel-hanger on a bare floor, or simply spread newspaper or old sheeting around to catch the debris. Table-sized models, of course, can be assembled outdoors — where you won’t have to worry’ about fallen needles, bark chips, and spiUed sand — and carried into the house when you are ready to decorate them. Your homemade holiday spruce won't be quite as sturdy as would a whole tree, so it's best to deck it out with lightweight ornaments and tiny energy-saving Christmas lights. Popcorn strings, paper snowflakes, silvered cellophane icicles, and decorations made of straw, cornhusks, or yam are just about perfect.

(hiring a major snow storm that if they know they can’t get through to wait until a snowplow does get through. BhnardTime Only during blizzards. blowing Groceries, drug stores to be open During a bad snow storm it is often hard to get to the grocery store or drug store, because the roads are closed or soon will be dosed by blowing and drifting snow. Most people try to stock up on food and medication during the winter months just in case they cannot make it into town. But there are some who keep putting It off until it’s too late and there are others who just run out of that stocked up supply. For those people, here is a list of services offered by local grocery and drug stores during a winter storm. Grocery Steres All grocery stores in the Lakeland area will be opened, when possible, regular store hours. Managers and owners of each store called stated they have always had the stores opened, for those people who could make it in and for the volunteers who need to get supplies to snowbound residents. None of the stores offered a delivery service during a winter storm. Several of the store owners managers remarked, “We’re here no matter what so we can be here when people can get out.” Drugstores Often it is hard to predict how long a prescription may last, and it is also hard to predict when a snow storm will hit. In case you are left tow on a prescription the area drug stores will see that you receive the medication needed. Thornburg Drugs in Syracuse and North Webster, will be doing what they can to help the community in an emergency situation, through the aide of snowmobiles, four-wheel drives and the fire, police and emergency medical service departments. John Kroh commented the main objective of a pharmacy is to make itself available and Thornburgs will begin doing this. If someone is not at the store, the local fire olice departments have the apFurther stated that someone will always be available to see that nobody does without his or her medication. Representatives at Hooks Drugs in Syracuse and North Webster and Walters Drug in Milford, stated their pharmacies would always be available and that the personnel would assist as much as they could by staying open longer hours in addition to any other help they can offer. At Walter Drugs it was noted that they will also deliver medication on an emergency basis only as they have done in the past. *

and drifting snow and when the roads can’t be kept open, does the county have trucks stationed at the various fire stations and emergency medical service stations. These trucks remain in those areas for about 12 hours and then return to opening up the county roads. Forney remarked in 1977-78 when the blizzard hit some communities had county trucks remain for two to three days before the winds subsided and the plowing could begin. Key Cub celebrates with dinner Wawasee High School Key Club celebrated its charter year with a carry-in dinner and Christmas party in the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Morgan, 612 Medusa Street, Syracuse. In accordance with the club’s service charter, members traveled to the Lakeland Loving Care Nursing Home, Milford, to visit with patients and sing carols. Judy Rassi is the school’s sponsoring teacher, and the president is Bill Dixon. The club operates through the cooperation and direction of the Kiwanis Club. Car egged Blanca Lozano, 119 W.
