Over a thousand Detroit gar
bage collectors quit work Tues
day TO converge on City Hall
in protest against the l3c pay
raise granted them by the city,
The collectors contend. through
the CTO public employees union,
that they should have received
the l6c raise other city employ
ceS got
Their plea for the additional
Sc was repulsed Monday by
Mayor Jcffrics. who said that
the raise brought laborers in the
garbage collection work into line
with the wages paid other city
laborers.
He said that there was time
when the only city employment
open to Negroes was in garbage
collection. and that raises were
additionally given to garbage
collectors Just before eIecuoHs
in order TO line up the Negro
vote. This practice had resulted
he claimed. in a slightly higher
rate for garbage collectors.
Jeffries claimed that in his
regime opportunities had been
opened in all departments, and
that the i3c raise brought gar
bage collectors into line with
workers doing similar work IN
other departments.
The CIo union contends that
the garbage collectors should get
the same increase as was award

Eastern High School.


Keeping a scrapbook of souvenirs
is the hobby of Faye Falter. a junior
at Eastern High School. Faye has
two books in which she keeps things
which remind her of junior high
school days and her first year at
Eastern.
Beginning with posters for talent
shows and plays in which she ap-
peared in the eighth grade, Faye
gradually added other keepsakes.
The scrapbooks also contain news
paper clippings, corsages, programs,
snapshots of friends and the Stuart
Junior High School graduation
photo.
Running a close second in Faye's
interests is singing. She sings in
her church choir and has par
ticipated in talent shows, radio pro-
grams, the operetta, "The Pirate of
Penzance," and a play produced in
junior high. Appearing in these
school shows gave her points toward
an IS" and five stars received while
at Stuart.
Faye also enjoys horseback riding,
swimming, shooting. rollerskating
and dancing. She is a member of
the Swimming Club and vice presi-
dent of the new Girls Rifle Club.

Lovely Red Bud
Disappearing
From Area

Old residents OF Washington often
ask with regret what has become of
the red bud-those beautiful little
trees that were so plentiful in the
surrounding woods, many years ago.
Often, too, they were seen lending
their glorious color to home grounds
and parks.
The red bud, cercis canadensis, is
found spread over large area in the
United States, but it is claimed that
those specimens native to the valley
OF the Potomac attained the greatest
beauty. Deforestation, vandalism
and neglect have caused them to
become almost extinct, however, and
the crimson of their flowers, flaming
in the woods before the whiteness of
the dogwood unfolds, has all but dis
appeared from the local scenes.
To combat this state of affairs, a
well-known Washington seed house
is giving away. free of charge, pack
cts Of red bud seeds, in the hope of
reviving an interest in planting the
trees on home grounds. The red bud
blooms while still very young, so
that one does not have to wait for
a large tree to enjoy its color. The
pendant seed pods, of pale green
take on a purple hue in autumn,
and, as they remain on the branches
long into the winter they attract
birds for the seeds.
The red bud is also known as the
Judas tree" stemming from the
legend that it was from its branches
that Judas hanged himself after the
betrayal of Christ. Before his death,
it is said, the flowers were white, but
turned crimson from the shame OF
bearing the traitors body.
To do your part in rehabilitating
this disappearing tree, plant some
seeds in good garden soil in a small
space. Then when the seedlings are
few inches tall, transplant them to
their permanent locations. II you
sow more than you need, give the
little plants to some one else to carry
on the good work.

Uncle Rays Corner

According to the calendar, spring
has been with us for few days
The weather is hardly springlike in
some sections Of the country, but
as the weeks pass the season will
show itself more and more.
When spring comes, my thoughts
often turn to the world of birds.
These feathered singers can give
joy to people who listen to them.
Among the excellent songsters are
the goldfinches, also known as
wild canaries." These birds live in
many parts of the United States,
and fly northward as warm weather
comes on. They are far from being
the earliest visitors of spring in
northern parts, but in due time they
will appear in their favorite haunts.
Speaking of them, one observer
said:
Few birds seem to enjoy life
more than these noisy rovers.
Every month brings them change
of fare, and in pursuit of fresh
dainties, the nesting time is de-
layed."
Thistled0wn Mattresses.
The male goldfinch wears a
bright -colored dress during the sum-
mer months. Most of his feathers
are yellow, but his wings and tail
are black, and he has "a little
black cap pulled down over his
nose" In winter, this coat is not
nearly so, bright-having changed
with the season. The winter coat
Is put on in October.
The female goldfinch is mostly
brownish-olive above and gray
white, with tinge Of yellow, below

scenes, modernistic designs, and
miscellaneous.
Bob's interest in this hobby be-
gan about five years ago, when his
family went to the Philippines. On
the ship, a number of people had
started collections as pastime, and
Bob decided to begin also. He
found an old deck of his mothers
cards and traded them with his
friends, occasionally asking for two
in exchange for an exceptionally
pretty one. Gradually, the collec-
tion grew, and it is still growing.
Asks for Jokers.
Whenever one of Bob's friends
buys or is given a new deck of cards,
he is promptly asked for the joker
Occasionally, people give him cards
from sets they are about to throw
away, and sometimes he buys or
trades them to increase his COL
lection.
Sometimes, there is little trouble
in obtaining cards he especially
wants. Once he saw a particularly
beautiful pair with horses heads
on the backs. The boy who had
them would not trade, so Bob, very
much disappointed, began trying to
get one elsewhere. He finally per-
suaded him to exchange one of the
two, and after three years he found
a duplicate Of the other. That was
real satisfaction, according to Bob.
OF his hobby, Bob says: "I have
had great fun collecting these cards,
and have made many friends in
the process. I would not trade my
collection for anything short of
permanent world peace"

One day I was rummaging around
in my grandfather's attic and found
some old postcards with queer-look-
ing stamps on them I became in
terested in these stamps and started
a collection.
To me, collecting stamps is both
interesting and educational. 1t is
fun to collect foreign stamps and
try to find out what king or queen
or important event they commemo-
rate. I also like to compare them
with our stamps.
I have several hobbies, but think
by far the most interesting one is
collecting stamps.

She has brownish- black wings and
tail
Perhaps the most interesting
thing about goldfincheS is the kind
of nest they provide for their young.
The frame of the nest is woven
from grass and shreds of bark. In
side the nest is one of the softest
beds in the world-a bed of thistle
down. This fluffy substance is
taken from plant, and forms a
mattress" more than an inch thick.
Goldfinch nests are most often
placed from four to six feet above
the ground, in bush or small ever
green tree. Now and then the birds
nest as high as 25 feet, but that is
not usual.
Smaller Than Sparrows.
Most birds rear a brood of young
in the spring, but goldfinches wait
until the middle of the summer.
Their mating takes place in late
July or August The parent birds
seem unwilling to have any sort of
home until thistledown can be OBJ
tanned.
In the meantime, the goldfinches
will be darting here and there amid
|orchards, fields and gardens. They
like lettuce and may pilfer bit
from the garden, but the harm will
be little They will do much good
by eating the seeds Of weeds, along
with caterpillars and grasshoppCrs rs.
Goldfinches are small birds
smaller than sparrows-but they
have pretty songs, and add beauty
to the thickets amid which they
live. The males sing while flying as
well as while at rest. Part of the
singing sounds like per -chickor-
ree."

sturdier plants and better bloom.
When 1t Is warm in May and there
is no danger of frost injury, trans
plant them to bed or window box.
At this time they should. be care
fully staked. Be very careful not
to injure the feeding roots which
lie very close to the surface. Better
not cultivate.
Water Sparingly.
After the begonias have become
established water them with a fine
spray about once week. As the
flowers appear you may use q weak
solution of liquid manure. If the
plants are kept too wet they may
drop their buds.
It is possible to grow very large
flowers If the grower prefers few
very large to many smaller ones.
Cut out the side shoots when the
plants are young, but do it very
carefully to avoid bruising the stem.
After good frost in the fall dig
up the tubers with a ball Of earth
attached. Leave all the foliage.
Then remove any dead or damaged
leaves by cutting them off and place
the plants carefully in a fiat or on
an old screen and keep them in a
cool dry spot until they are per-
fectly dry.
After the foliage and stems are
completely withered, carefully re-
move the tops and store them in
cool dry place temperature
around SO degrees) packed in dry
peat moss or sawdust.
II this sounds complicated to
beginner it will only seem so the
first season. After that he will feel
so we'll repaid that all Of the extra
precautions will not be too much
to pay for the wealth Of really
exquisite blooms.
Evening star., 1946-03-24

They come IN pure white, yellow,
salmon pink to dark crimson. The
blossoms are held well above the
foliage, remaining fresh for many
days.
/ There are different types Of bloom
from which to select. single crested,
double frilled, pendulous and the
most popular one, double camellia
flowered. Select the variety or form
YOU prefer carefully. If of good quail
ity small tubers will yield as fine a
flower as large tuber, but fewer of
them.
They grow excellently in window
boxes, under trees if the branches
are high enough to permit plenty of
light but not strong rays from the
sun, and in beds that are shady and
protected from strong winds. In
California they are usually grown
under slat houses which protect
them from the strong wind and al
low only the rays of the hot sun to
filter through. In this area they do
very well on the north side of a
building where few other Towering
lplants grow, If all the other condi-
tions are right.
Select Location Carefully.
In selecting the spot for them be
sure that good drainage is provided.
They like moisture but not wet feet.
Sometimes it is we'll to raise the bed
above the level of the lawn Or it
may be wise to put 6-to-8-inch
layer of cinders under the bed.
On top of the cinders add soil
which is very porous. A successful
grower recommends the following
mixture: Two-thirds coarse leaf
mold, one-third light loan plus
some peat moss and sand or we'll
rotted manure and sand. After dig
ging the tubers in the fall add a
generous dressing Of bone meal.
If you desire early bloom start the
tubers indoors now. Plant them in
pots or in fats containing peat moss
and leaf mold and a little sand. Put
the rounded part Of the tuber firmly
into the soil. The saucer side will
be on top. 1t may be already
sprouted. Do not cover. Keep them
slightly moist in a dark spot in the
basement. AS they begin to grow
add more water. They may be
moved into the cold frame later. Do
not try to get rapid growth. Slower
and steadier growth will produce
