. ; t APRIL 27, 1950 1 Miss Hartshorn To Be Honored Miss Cora Hartshorn, will re. P cMve a medal from the Garden Club of New Jersey in recognition of the time, thought, and money she has expended over a period of many years on her Bird Reservation and Arboretum or. the corner of Chatham road and Forest drive ""near the Short Hills railroad sta- • tion. The award will be made dur- ' ing the annual meeting of the Club in Princeton on May nth. Herman Porter, tree expert, has. called the reservation a gem of , a naturalistic garden. He was particularly interested in the way Miss " Hartshorn laid out the paths so that they follow the contours of the land, making it as easy as possible for those who visit there • to enjoy the beauty that nature ! has provided. Mr. Porter was im- ; pressed also by the manner in ; which water is held on the land • through a plan devised by Miss i Hartshorn providing access to all : parts of the property and a prac- tical means of eoll and water con^ servation. Miss Hartshorn's artistic training is shown throughout the park in the selection of shrubs used as a planting around the Stone House and in the soft coloring ot the stones in the house walls and the detail of the building. The park will be opened to the public on May lath and 13th when the Short Hills Garden Club holds its Spring Flower Show in the Stone House. There will be bird walks through the woodland both afternoons. * ARTICLES FOR SKUJUMAN VILLAGE for Epileptics are still being accepted at the Item office, 391 Millburn avenue.

It seems that the gravity of Millhurn's "ice storm of '48," which occurred around New Year's lime of that year, is questioned by certain inhabitants of the "Windy City", Chicago. An urgent letter was received by the Item several weeks ago from a former resident of Short Hills now living in the midwestern city, asking for copies of the Item, January 1848. "At that time we owned a house in Short Hills which was damaged" it said. "But the Internal revenue seems to question that fact and has invited us to explain said damage ..." The letter continues: "However, if the investigator is a Chicogoan he'll never believe that any other locale could so insult Chicago by having worse weather et any time." • Letters to Editor Editor the Item I am writing to you* in hope you will be able to help me. You see while I was a student at school and a member of the Hi- Tri I helped make scrap booksjokes and. pictures for the sick at Lyons Hospital. Now that I am out of school I would like to continue doing this but have run up against a problem. I need the material such as jokes (picture ones) and movie star pictures. I know that there are many people in town who get such magazines as "The Saturday Evening Post" "Colliers" "The New Yorker" "The Journal" and any number of movie magazines, that after reading are piled in cellars till they are thrown out. If I could have these magazines, no matter how old or new, I would be able to make the scrap books. If the people could send them to me at my address or ! bring them in person, I would be ever 50. glad. I From the "Post", "New Yorker", 1 etc., I cut just the jokes out. From the movie books I cut color photos, pin-ups that will prove interesting. Then again, if the people would like, they may help by cutting the jokes out themselves and mailing them to me. Each one counts. I will do the scrap books in my spare time, nights, week ends. All I am asking: for is the jokes and magazines. I will get from my own pocket money, the scrap books, glue, etc. I would like to say that anything given is given free. I am not going to get paid anything for this, except paid in full from the joy the books will bring the men who fought for us and our country,-that we could live in peace. I thought that by printing this letter or a message from ydu in the paper, that someone may help me. Thank you.

These '•re some of the questions that myers are asking now that the modern design electric range shirts have been available for quite some time and the novelty of them has worn off to some extent, says Inez LaBosaier, extension clothing specialist at Rutgers University. Selling points of the nylon shirt were that it could be washed easily at home, hung to dry for no more than one hour, and worn without ironing. These factors put Page to use would change the laundering .arrangements of thousands who regularly sent shirts to commercial laundries. Tire traveling man would benefit, it was pointed out, because he could eliminate excess baggage. Here one nylon shirt might do the work of two or three cotton shirts because, of the ease of laundering and lack of ironing.
