Leibell to be sworn in at ceremony in Carmel Carmel Attorney Vincent Leibell will be sworn into office as a member of the State Assembly in public ceremonies Jan. 1 at 12 noon in the main courtroom in the Putnam County Courthouse in Carmel. Supreme Court Justice Fred Dickinson will administer the oath of office to Assemblyman Leibell. Members of the State Legislature usually are sworn into office at ceremonies in Albany. However, Assemblyman Leibell decided to depart from that political tradition and take his oath in his district in the present of the people he will represent in Albany. Leibell was elected in November to the Assembly seat held for the past 30 years by Willis H. Stephens of Brewster, who is retiring. Leibell won the Republican nomination for the Assembly in a primary race with Chairman Raymond Maguire of the Putnam County Legislature. He than ran as a Republican-Conservative candidate and won election over Democrat Anthony Maccarini of Carmel. The new assemblyman will have a local office in a building owned by Attorney Edward Sumber off Fair St., Carmel, beside Carmel High School. Assemblyman Leibell said he had hoped to have an office at ground level for the convenience of his constituents, however the office space has to be approved by officials of the State Assembly, who selected second-floor space in Sumber's building.

SUBSCRIPTION TO THE BREWSTER STANDARD WILL BE $7.00 PER YEAR AND FIFTEEN CENTS PER COPY A general immunization clinic for children of Putnam County residents will take place on Friday, Jan. 7, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church Hall on Gleneida Ave., Carmel. Such free immunization clinics are usually held once each month and are sponsored by the Putnam County Department of Health. Parents are requested to bring current immunization records of those youngsters who attend the clinic. Mrs. Elaine Krueger, Director of Nursing Services, stated that immunizations for children will include the triple vaccine pro- viding protection against whoop- ing cough, diphtheria and tetanus (D.P.T.) regular measles vaccine, oral polio vaccine, mumps vaccine and rubella vaccine. Dr. John Simmons, Deputy Commissioner of Health, pointed out that those children who re- ceived measles vaccine before their first birthday do not have the best level of protection against regular measles. These children should receive a second dose of measles vaccine. Parents are urged to have all their children protected against the above indicated diseases either at the clinic or at their family physician's office and to maintain good protection levels through booster immunizations. Parents must accompany the children to the clinic and sign the consent card to immunize their children. HOME AND GARDEN TIPS BY WALTER J, G. CARPENTER Cooperative Extension Agent TREE DISPOSAL: How do you dispose of your Christmas tree? Many people place their tree at the curbside for the community pickup service to haul away. Some chop their tree up and burn it in the fireplace or stove. A few stand the tree in the yard as an attractive and practical bird- feeding station. If you select this alternative, be sure to anchor the tree in an upright fashion in a location where it is somewhat protected from prevailing winds. Locating it near existing plants will also provide the birds with the protection from their natural predators. Once the birds become accustomed to finding food in the tree, they will be regular visitors. Thus, the feed- ing must be continued until spring. Or use the branches to cover perennial beds or newlv planted beds of spring bulbs - they are excellent as winter mulching materials. TREE PROTECTION: Many plants may need protection from snow and ice. The weight of the ice or snow may break or injure the limbs of many evergreens and broad-leaf materials in your home landscape. These plants can be protected to some degree by tying the branches with strong cord or wrapping the sides of the plants with burlap. A word of caution: do not, and I repeat, do not use plastic for this wrapping. Snow damage is generally most severe ion loosely branched, multiple stemmed plants. Chicken netting may also be used for wrapping. Sometimes just the establishment of a structure of snow fetice or other sash type material will divert the snow from accumulat- ing on the plants. Wood struc- tures over the plant may be required if plants are located directly under the eaves of the home. PLANT CARE: You don't need a magic green thumb to prolong the life of poinsettias, cyclamens, begonias, Jerusalem cherries or ornamental peppers. Just follow these four simple rules: Give them full sun; cool temperatures ranging from 55 to 70 degrees; keep them out of drafts; and maintain a moist atmosphere and soil. It is best to place the plants in a bright but cool, draft free window. If the plants are located in a hot, dry area, the foliage will soon turn yellow. Drafts may cause wilting of flowers and foliage. Water the plants cau- tiously and avoid over watering,
