UNDERWOOD FUEL CO. READING COAL — HEATING OILS River Ave. & L.I.R.R. Patchogue , N. Y. Tel. GRover 5-3600 March of Dimes Drive for 196 1 Is On In Bellport BELLPORT—The 1901 campaign for the New March of Dimes is now underway in Bellport and will continue through the month of January. Letters have beer mailed to each family in the community request- ing a contribution. As coin can ' s will not be distributed this year to the children in Central School Dis- trict 4 , it is hoped that the chil- dren will be encouraged to send their dimes when their parents mail their donations. Coin boxep will he placed in the business es- tablishments in the village by Mrs. Aaron Levine. Funds collected from the drive are used to support the National Foundation , a foundation which rig hts cripp ling diseases—arthri- tis , rheumatism , polio , and birth defects. Thirty-seven and one-half per cent of the money collected goes for local patient care , 37' 2 per cent goes for medical research , and 25 per cent goes for educa- tional purposes , such as scholar- ships and education of the public. For example , polio can still strike over 85 , 000 , 000 unvaccinated Americans. Patients who have been crippled by these diseases in previous years continue to receive benefits because of these contribu- tions. Success for this campaign for funds to fight crippling diseases can only come b y having the co- operation of each and every citi- zen in the community, states the Bellport chairman, Mrs. James P. Warner. \Invest in good health and in the prevention of disease b y giving now. It is one of the best invest ments one can make , \ Mrs. War- ner declared. NEW BELLPORT STREET MAPS I 960 edition.

What is now a young expanding business started four years ago when Miss Capen and Mrs. Mc- Chesney, who had been friends for many years , began comparing notes on the drying and arranging of flowers , which had been a hobby with them. Miss Capen was and is a land- scape architect and Mrs. McChes- ney, president of the local garden club and mother of three. Soon , they felt experienced enough to display their arrange- ments at the church fair. That was two years ago , and their color harmony schemes attracted so much attention at the fair that 22-page booklet which not onl y tells the beg inner how to arrange the colors , but g ives a tabulation of the different flowers and the method required in drying them. They emp hasize , however , that each person must create according to her individual tastes and based 011 her own ascetic values. Yet they hasten to point out that their booklet will save weeks of time for the beg inner. The drying process begins when the flowers are p laced in long, shallow boxes and are covered comp letel y with corn meal and borax (four parts corn meal to one part borax). And there are some flowers that just need to be hung in a dry area. But this is where the trial-and- error process can be frustrating because different flowers require different lengths of time to dry correctl y and they have to be un- der constant surveillance. It is at this point , the ladies say, where their booklet , which gives drying hints and shows com- mon pitfalls , would come in handy. Certainl y not claiming to be the originators of the process of dry- ing flowers (they say that it started during colonial times), Miss Capen and Mrs. McChesney look forward to expanding the art throug h their small business. Yet even more , the ladies point out , they look forward each year from Sep tember through March to having the job of working with flowers and of being surrounded , j as the snow flies , b y lovely as- semblages of those remembrances of season ' s past.

Other delicate flowers in arrangement are plony leaves at back , bells of Ireland , blue larkspur , clusters of yellow tansy flowers , copper straw flowers plus three large passion flowers in front. Through a special (and unpat- ^ they decided • to go into business ented) process , Miss Capen andTtogether. Mrs. McChesney dry flowers , pre- serving most of their original col- or , and then arrange these delicate remembrances of seasons past into colorful harmonies. Although this drying of flowers started as a pastime , the ladies have developed their hobb y into a science , an art and a business. Through the scientifi c process of experimentation , the ladies have developed the techni que of drying flowers so as to best preserve each flower in its natural state and have established tables , by color , that show the method for drying each type of flower. Artistically, Miss Capen and Mrs . McChesney take these dried flowers and arrange them into a symmetrical design of color har- mony intended to ca tch the eye and blend with interior decor. Their artistic abilities in arrange- ments have won them p laudits from not only their friends and neighbors but at flower shows as well. As a business , they have formed a legal partnership under the title of Flora l Fancies , Box 005 , Bell- port , and produce on a regular eight-hour or longer day (mostly longer , they say), selling to an Now it has gotten to the point where they ' re so successful that they say they will have to move their headquarters from a tiny workshop in the basement of Mrs. McChesney ' s home to larger quar- ters where they would have more room to dry the flowers and move around. They hesitate to move , however , because of the ideal con- ditions for drying that exist in the basement , where there is rela- tively little humidity and tempera- ture is a constant warm.
