will hold hearings beginning on the
announced date, February 9, on the
recommendation of the Miami Area
Rent Advisory Board to decontrol
Miami Beach and five other tour
ist" communities. The hearings will
be held in Federal Court before three
Federal JUDGES. The result of this
hearing can be very far reaching
to this community. in so far as con-
tinued rent controls are concerned.
| 1t is of vital Importance that all of
Miami and vicinity pay strict and
undivided attention to the hearings
at the Emergency Court of Appeals.
The findings of this court can have
some very serious elects upon this
community.
The National Housing Expediter
has already turned down the recon-
mendations of the Miami Area Rent
Advisory Board to decontrol the
communities in question - it is
now left to the Emergency Court of
Appeals to make the final move. So
remember, the hearings will begin

advisable to consult a veterinarian
If you notice any skin disorder.
Let's look at what causes skin

a human can contract any skin

Life in the Country:
Corn Shocks Take Heavy Toll
By jones BirchfieId

I agree with those farmers who
have discontinued raising corn.
They say it isn't economical-that
you can buy it cheaper than you
can raise it, what with the cost
Of spraying and labor.
I wouldn't know about that. but
I do know what corn does to my
back. And I'm all for conserving
my back. I might need 1t again
one of these days.
These observations all come
about by the fact that my back
field has dried up enough now to
bring in my corn that has been
standing shocked since last fall.
1t is the first time I've been able
to get to it since the rains began
and I can't find any more excuses
for leaving it alone.
My corn isn't the best that has
ever been raised in Loudoun
County. and I thought maybe I
could forget about it. But you
can't do that on a farm. Things
have to be disposed Of some way
or other. The best way to get rid
Of it is to feed it to the COW.
So the spring of the year, when
I ought to be thinking of sprout-
ing seeds, finds me doing the Job
that should have been finished
last fall.
First. I have to haul it to the
barn. then shuck it out so the
stover can 60 to the COW. I stay
about two jumps behind the COW,
for the faster I shuck, the bigger
her appetite grows.
And then, I have to do some
thing with the grain. When
get wheelbarroWful, I have to
go shell it-another back-break-
ing job-and then find sacks and
storage space for the shelled grain.
The chickens and geese just can't
keep pace with the COW when it
comes to eating corn.
Every day there is one shock
less. Now there are 13 left. and
I am wondering if I'll last out the
spring.
I am late this spring, as usual,
with my grass-Seed sowing. But
the wind just won't cooperate
with me. When it is calm I'm

cellent results. While the devel-
opment of pelleted seeds is still
new it is easy to understand how
covering each seed with coating
of a fungicide and plant food will
help to insure good results. The
coating makes the seed large
enough to be properly spaced at
planting time. which is next to
impossible with the very small un-
coated seeds.
X +&*
Streaking in daffodil foliage Is
likely to be due to a disease (com-
monty called mosaic, and the best
practice is to lift and burn all
infected plants before the disease
is spread by aphids.
AS soon as chrysanthemum ana
hardy aster shoots are large
enough to be handled they should
be separated and set in a we'll
prepared bed. This early spring
gardening task is one that is too
frequently passed by in the rush
of spring work, and when the fall
Towering season arrives we Won
der why the flowers are small and
the foliage dies. The best prevent
ative is to divide in the spring.
Shasta daisy beds should be dug
and reWorked every two years.
otherwise the plants soon become
weak and produce poor flowers.
They are strong growing peren-
malls and soon exhaust the soil
if left undivided too long. Good
garden practice dictates the lift
ing. dividing and reworking the
soil every other year. Many gar
deners spread the work out by
taking half of the bed one year
and the other the next. This
method insureS earlier bloom
since the unworked plants bloom
earlier than those which were
reset.
In the rush of spring work do
not overlook the stored bulbs,
corms and tubers. There Is danger
of dry rot if they are not kept
moist enough. Overwhelming can
cause trouble. too. An occasional
light moistening Is safest.

Whether Ex-Nozi Should Play
Christ Is Passion Drama Issue

Passion Play have been frequent.
Village rumor says that in old
days, the villagers engaged in fist
fights when rivalry for the honor
grew too hot.
Alois Lang, a wood-carver and
hotel proprietor. played the role
OF Christ IN 1884. Then he was
described as the "austere Christ. +"
But he joined the Nazi Party, and
in 1948 went before a denazffica-
ton court where he was classified
as the least-dangerous class of
Nazi and paid the costs of the
trial. G a..
Three Young Men Are Rivals.
His rivals for the role are three
young men, Hans Lang, Hugo Rutz
and Benedikt Stueckl. The Virgin
Mary is likely to be played by 49,
year-old Annemie Mayer, daugh-
ter of a builder.
At his trial Lang said he joined
the Nazi Party to avoid persecu-
tion and financial ruin because a
woman reported him for a minor
violation of regulations in the sale
of cup of coffee.
He said then he felt he was not
robust enough again to portray
Christ.
The passion play is expected to
open on May 81. Two or three
performances each week are
scheduled throughout the summer
until the end Of September.

Argentina Removes
Ban on Imports
By the Assoeiotsd Prsss

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 5.-Ar-
gentina announced today it would
permit imports again for first time
since Sept. II.
No import permits have been
issued since Britain devalued the
pound. After a study of almost
three weeks Argentina devalued
the peso 46 per cent. The Gen.
trail Bank experts have been
studying since then a method of
permitting new imports. During
the past 81 days the only imports
were those approved before mid
September.
The first set Of rules, published
late today. were designed to in
sure that Argentines would buy
from countries which buy from
Argentina.
Fourteen closely-typed pages
listed so-called essentials which
can be bought from Britain and
elsewhere In the sterling area.
A much briefer list, covering
only five pages, gave essentials
which can be imported from Bull
garia. Hungary. italy, Sweden,
Yugoslavia and the French franc
area.
The new rules limited purchases
from the United States and other
countries In the dollar area.
These included needles for tex
tile looms. rayon cord for making
auto tires, lampblack. firebricks
and q few chemicals. ~
