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.

The Millburn & Short Hilts ITEM
Is It
Deductible?
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.

\Nylon Shirts
Pro and Con
How satisfactory are nyiorv
^ s l *". the « any Ehortcomgs
that have developed in the
ictual use of the shirts? 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.
