17557  Feet  of Total  of 24,645  Feet of Sewer   Line   in   No.  1   Project  Com¬ pleted—C9  of  the  103   Manholes  Ara Constructed—Other   Work The   Sewer   Comimittee    of   A.ni,''>ler r.orouHh   Council   in   session   Tuesday cA'cninff   decided    to    recommend    pro- ccedinpr   with   the   application   for     a, Si'ant   of   l.WI-   funds   on   the   second unit. ,   '
The .locond unit includes 7200 feet of sanitary soAver.'* and lattVals in the ixrea bounded by Uutler avonuo, Kcadin.q: I'ailwaj-, Church stroet ami the horoush line and outfall scAver to ficwaKo treatment AVorks. The on.i^'ino- er.s' estimated cost of the second unit A\-VW $00,505.36, of which the federal Koverniincnt shtrro is estimtited at $44,- 417.20, leaving .'iilG,178.16 to bo financed iiy  tho  borough.
Progress has been made in con¬ struction of sCAA'cr unit No. 1. 17.557 linear feet of seAA^er lines out of a total ot 24,045 feet has been coninijeted (19 manhoic.i o,f the 103 are complet¬ ed, and 2.'il0 linear feet of lateral lines out of 3020 h,ave been finished. Tho 'sowers in thi.'! unit aro 71 percent completed.
¦On the sew.'tfX dis])osal plant tho floors of tho primary tanks are pour¬ ed, proijfess is recorded for two center i! orator bottoms and dit;estor Avails. Tho sludpre bed superstructure is virtually   complete.
A rcvicAV of Avork on the trcalmcnt jil.ant shoAVK'-that the excavation Avork is 90 percent complete. The concrete AA-ork is 40 percent flnishcd. The yard ]upin.?r is l.s percent complete. The Rradin.^-, roadway and clean-up is 47 percent finished. Tho sludge bed supcrslrueturo is completely plazed, and tliis phase of thc AVork is !'5 per¬ cent  complete.

Tent caterpillars are hatchinK-. The little felloAVS—they're less than one- elKhth of tin inch long—^are leavln':? tho cylindrical ckr- clusters that cn- cii-cled the twlRs all Avinter and are seeking their Ilrst meal on tho buds of the Avild cherry, apple trees and Japanese  flowering  cherries.
Already the sm.ali "tents" arc bciin^ spun in tho crotches of thc trees. Be- Kin at once measures of eradication. The infestation is in the "spark" stage and may be suppressed Avith the min¬ imum .amount of time and effort. It they are left alone now, a tew Avecks hence Avill find many trees denuded AVith largo ugly tents in them that are  dillicult  to  destroy.
r.oy Scout troops can get in good Avork by destroying these tents or, Avith poles .shears, clipping oft the af¬ fected terminal tAvlgs AVith thc tents and  egg  clusters  and burning thoim.
In addition to these measures, tree oAvners AvlIl Iind spraying the young groAvth Avlth arsenate of lead solution effective in destroying tlie yioung caterpillars.
lAnother pha.ie of tho catcrpjllar nuisance, for Avhich control measures may bo pursued at this time, is the Tussock moth. These rather henutiful —If a caterpillar can be beautiful— enemies of shade trees, have pref¬ erence for the city. Their eg^g clus¬ ters, Avhlch are not confined to the trees but are found on house fronts OA'er the doorways and under windoAV sills, should be removed before hatch¬ ing begins.
The same applies to the removal of the drub colored sacs of bag worms Avhich later avIU play havoc, particu¬ larly with evergreens like cedars. Junipers .and arbor A-itaes, though .also infesting deciduous trees and shrubs.

Unusual Expenditures Necessary
During Past Four Months—Assist¬ ance Given in Schools—The Sal¬ vage   Shop
The growing interest of thc com¬ munity in the activities and progress of the North Penn Community Centre Avas shown in tho large attendance at tho tri-yearly Uoard ot Directors' meeting  on   .May  5.
Mrs. C. Jared Ingersoll, treasurer, reported that the Centre's bank bal¬ ance Avaa api'i-oxlmately .?700 more on Jan. 1st, 193,5, than it ia now, due to   unusual   expenditures.
Miss Liddle reported that four clinics Avcro held, with 20 babies at¬ tendin.g besides the usual i monthly tuberculosis clinic. The nurse.s enier- lain great hopes for tho result ol the ncAvly begun campaign for the prevention ot tuberculosis. Thc kind co-operation of ^1:0 superintendents and licads of departments in the schools has helped this movement enormously. Preventive and curative education is being .given the children by means of an interestir^f untcchni- cal moving picture which shows the simple sanitarj-j rules to be followed to avoid contraction ot the disease. A phamphlet, also, is available at the Centre aad in the schools, Aviiich should be read by all those AVho aro eiliier interested in the prevention of, or   thc   dLseaae   itself.
Intormation regarding the preven¬ tion and spread of impetigo has been printed in all the local p. pers. Thou,o.h not dangerous to life, im¬ petigo is exceedingly uncomfortable and unsightly, and warrants every jiossiblo precaution buth for pre¬ vention and treatment. The preven¬ tive measures are uuito simple, and all neees.sary instructions aro avail¬ able through the family p'.ryslclan or tlie Community Centre nurses. Chil¬ dren suffering from tliis disease are excluded Irom school by law unless they  are  recoiA'ing   daily   troatment.
The Board Avas glad to near ot the gratifying? results of thc Salvage Shop Committee's efforts to collect more saU'ago and cover more terri¬ tory. There are 13 nevv ci^ntributors, and the reorganization of tho Avork is proving thoroughly satislactory. Tho quantity and choice of articles for sale arc Improving each month, and it is hoped that iliis interest in aud support of the Avork will con¬ tinue and grow, as the Salvaive Shop supplies a considerablo source of revenue   to   tlie   Community   Centre

Gorgeoits Bloom in Color and Variety at Anthony Waterer's "Home Bush Farm," Near West Chester—Motoi- ;Run   from   Am,bler
Thoso citizens of our Horough, who still recall the great Centennial Kx- positlon of 1S76, Avlil no doubt clearly remember the marvelous display ot rhododendrons staged by the well knoAvn bulb importer, who specialized .also in the importation of botli azaleas, und rhododenilrons, partieultirly ot the Itosea, Album, and other hardy and semi-hardy viirietles from the Himalaya Mountains of India, more especially as India produces mimy varieties of native hybrids that are extravagantly beautiful in their diver¬ sification, and which, Avith some Avinter protection, havo been groAvn in the vicinity of I'hiladelphia, and may be enjoyed today in the many old flower gardens along thc Main Line. Chestnut liill, Penn's Manor and other old-time gardens in  this vicinity.
A beautiful display was always pre¬ sented by the late llosca Waterer, (tho father of Ilarry M. Waterer, of Am¬ bler) at his store apd Avarehouse on Seventh Street, below Chestnut, I'hila¬ delphia, and this exhibit, wias annually admired by thousands of lloAver lovers, AVho supported, hy thijir purchases, the growing importation of these liorifer- ou»  shrubs.
liMr. Waterer had exceptional facili¬ ties for the importation of these shruhs- .as his brother, Mr. Anthony AVaterer, owned and conducted an altogether exceptional nursei'y IcnoAvn as Knap Hill Nursery, near thc famous Kcav Cardens, just outside of London, .Eng¬ land, in Avhieh rhododendrons Averc particularly propogated, hydridizcd and sUmdardizcd. Mr. Anthony AV"ati'i-er was Avell known in horticultural cii-clei throughout the world, that the stand¬ ard spiraea, thc "Anthony AVaterer," (which spreads its lovely Avhite spikes along Avith its congener, the S. A'an Houttei), AA'as named after him. This is more or less the botanical Viack- ground, so to speak, upon AVhieh the house of Hose.a AV^aterer .at No. 714 Chostnut Street, Phlladeliihia, is con¬ tinued, by our cnteriirisin.g felloAV tow-nsman, Harry M. AVaterer, Avho, in cooperation Avith his elder brother, Anthony, has just staged a marvelou-i dii^iplay of Holland tulip bulbs, (in AVhich the firm specializes), Avhich arc all in bloom at the same time, and which i.s shown at Mr. AVatcrer's "Hoime Hush Farm," located not far from AVest Chester, in Chester County, which is Avithin driving dist.ance of i'hiladelphia.
Here is a picturesnue setting is be¬ ing displayed 2X4 beds of the rarest, .and newest Holland tulop bulbs, each bed comprising a couple of dozen or more bulbs in bloom, each bed of a. different variety and often of color, the Avhole display comprising .somcl 15,000 bulbs of nearly 300 varieties trnd of many different colors, thc ex¬ hibit now in full bloom, lasting from May   Sth   to   ISth   Inclusive.
AVith this uninue exhibit is also a pansy bed of 1000 .separate plants, em¬ bracing all the colors of thc rainboAv^ Taking it all in all, it is an exhibit Avell worth miles of travel to see, for instead of an illustr.ated catalogue of (he (lowering tulip bulbs In colors, as may be best presented by the printer, here are shown each type of bulb in actual life, bein.g presented in its color painted by the hand of Dame .N'ature, Avhlch  cannot  bo Improved  upon.
But tho ciuestion arises: "llow cin we get to see this marvelous dis¬ play'.'" To AVhich Ave an.sAver—that leaving Ambler, via liutlcr Avenue, in the direction of the county .seat, cross the Schuylkill Hiver at Norristown and drive west to thc King of I'rus."': Tavern, AVhere Itoutc No. 122 of the I'ennsAivania lliglnvay System, follows through Vs'est Chester on to Dilworth- toAvn, Avhei-e Avill be seen the yellow "arrow" signs, along the roadside, pi^'nting to Ilomo Bush Farm, Avlicrc, after bein,? received by .a maid in Holland cap tind costulmc, minus sabots, the visitor is most Aveleoine to enjoy a.
