JUVENILE STARS
 FEATURE PARADE
WATR Saturday Program Proves Exceptionally
 Popular

The children's program over WATR this morning at 10:S0 took the form of another unusual broadcast for which WATR is rapidly becoming noted. The pro- gram consisted in part of baby parade, featuring several little boys and girls five years old and young CT, many of whom have never be- fore been on the air. The parade wa9 presented to the radio audi. enoN in much the same manner that Ray Fitzpatrick and George Duffy handled the St. Patrick's day celebration. Of course the baby parade took place only in tho studios of WATR but there were two announcers describing an imaginary parade in the street. Norman Boucher, one of the boys who has zeen on the Engelman program since it's beginning almost a year ago, worked with the reg ular studio announcer, and be- tween the two of them they had word picture so vivid that lis- teners could imagine regular street parade.
 The youngsters participating on the program were: Edith Rossi, Pauline Verrastro, May Goodall, Kenneth Byrnes, Elaine Demers, Mark Marucci, Ann Daniels, Jo- sephine Alpisi, Della Menillo, Bill lie Demers, Gloria Passerrelli, Godfrey Lebon, Anthony Tirendi. Norman Boucher, Beatrice Smith, Marguerite Cooke and Bernice Baker.

 Every garden should have ifs quota of those perrenial flowers which come up with so little trouble year after year. The gar- dener will make his selection ac- cording to the section of the coua- try in which he lives, of course, but peonies, iris, day-lilies and hardy chrysanthemums are among the old, familiar favorites that are able over a wide range of climate.
 Since these plants are to remain in one spot for a period of years, it is essential that the soil be es- pecially well prepared prior to planting and that fertilizer be ap- piled every year. N
 The aster Mauve Cushion, at right above, is one of the newer hybrid hardy asters. The name is descriptive of the color, and since the plant is dwarf in growth 1t is particularly we'll suited to the rock garden or the perrenial bor- der.
 Most asters should be divided every year or two for best re- suits, but this one will go for three or four years without any need for division.
 Annual Towering plants provide the gardener with some of the most desirable of cut flowers, and may be grown either in beds by themselves or as filler for the perrenial border when its bloom has past.
 The fresh, crisp color of the nas- turtium, shown below, makes this sturdy little plant general favor ite with gardeners everywhere. It is very satisfactory as an annual if it is kept free of plant lice, The double variety, Golden Clean, created a sensation when 1t first and double lowered vart- cities can now be obtained in many colors.
 Similarly other annuals are con- stantly being improved. Snap dragons, for example, may now be

 A very fine, yellow cosmos is on the market, and the feathery dain- tiness of this plant in the white, crimson and pink varieties makes it excellent cutting material. Inn provements in the old-fashioned zinnia and marigold also are note worthy.
 Success with annuals is assured only when the best is purchased. and when it is sown at the proper time in carefully prepared soil. Thinning or transplanting to pre- vent the plants from growing too close together, frequent cultivation and prompt removal of withercd flowers are other essential prac- tices.

 Jack Benny and Don Bestor have patched up their "feud". From now on the comedian and the bandmaster will be the best of friends, although Don will still be in for considerable kidding during the Sunday night programs over an NBC.WJZ network at 7:O0 p. m., EST, because he insists on wearing spats.
 The "feud" has been one of the phenomena of the current radio season. What started as a joke soon was taken seriously by lis- teners throughout the country. The climax was reached two Sundays ago when Bestor and his band walked off' the program. Many radio editors received queries from their readers wanting to know If Don and Jack had permanently severed\relations and if so, whether something could not be done about bringing them together again.
 It all started back at Christmas time when Jack gave every mem- Der of the cast with the excep- ton of Bestor present. For months listeners heard him wor- ryling about what to buy the band leader. Bestor took the position that Benny was stalling-that he really had no intention of getting him anything. Jack considered this an unfriendly attitude and started criticizing the musicianship of Don and his boys. Feeling that he had been insulted, Don decided to leave the program-all in fun, of course.

 But now a new tune introduces and closes the news program. It's the famous Connecticut March" and was selected because of its appropriate title and it's swinging tempo.

P.-T.A. APPEALS
FOR CLOTHING
FOR NEEDY
BY MARY PADGETT

Mrs. E. j. Bowling, who is in
charge of the student aid work
Of the District Congress of Par
ents and Teachers, today issued
an appeal for clothing for boys
and girls of high school age.
During the past few weeks calls
for such clothing have been many,
Mrs. Bowling states, and the sup
plies on hand are low.
This work is carried on from
headquarters at 1854 Columbia
Rd. N. w, and on every Wednes-
~day women gather there to re-
habilitate garments.
Dozens of women have helped
in the work and thousands Of
garments have been distributed to
needy children since the begin
ming of school in September.
Any kind of discarded garment
IS used, but only clean garments
are accepted. Many times new
outfits are made from several gar
ments which are past their use
fitness in their original state.
Although at the present time
any clean garment will be &C
cepted, the special need is for
clothing to fit older children.
Mrs. Bowling suggests that
those donating clothing bring
them to headquarters on WedneS-
days to see for themselves the
work that is being done. However,
provision will be made to have
the clothing collected if persons
will telephone Columbia 1864.
