Small vegetable gardens blend beauty and utility in urban layouts
A compact 6 by 10 foot garden can yield diverse produce without dominating a yard. County Agent Gilbert Heideman advises sunny well-drained plots, edging with treated wood for neatness and drainage, and using fences for vining crops. Heideman notes vegetables enhance landscape interest and can be integrated with existing plantings, offering quick screening and container options for porches. The piece also notes deaths in the community, including H.B. Hillyard, and a military funeral for Fred P. Gonzales, with details on survivors and arrangements.

Democrats Seek Unified Energy Plan To Counter Ford
Democrats in Congress move to craft a single energy proposal by week’s end. House and Senate task forces push a gasoline tax rise to 20 cents per gallon within two years, plus quotas and rebates to curb consumption. Senate plan ties tax to unemployment, with incentives for efficient autos and insulation. Both aim to conserve energy while addressing recession, and seek to override Ford’s veto on an oil tariff delay.
