An Editorial
Thank You, Garden

Il 1A0llA OAAS O or sHCH
ON A CLEAR chilly night very
soon the frost sprite will arrive.
Your lovely co1ors will no longer
greet me. Your sweet perfume will
be a memory. Your life cycle will
be over and you will go to sleep
with a white blanket over you.
I cannot let you go without a part
ing word. Your whole existence has
been in the cause of making the
world beautiful. You have also
shown me the laws of the universe
in your unobtrusive way.
First came your brave little cro-
cuses pushing their bright faces
through the short green blades of
grass; then the delicate lilies of the
valley. The colorful iris came along
with the pansies, violas and the tiny
''heartsease" as they were called by
the little old lady who gave them
to me years ago. Shakespeare often
mentions them, you know" said she.
Certainly last January no one
would ever have believed that such
a glorious lot of little people were
under the white blanket waiting for
the warm sunshine and the soft
spring rains to tickle their feet and
tell them it was time to be up MAX
ing the gray world beautiful.
You all came trooping along one
after another or in great crowds
the sweet perfume of ilacs, the
delicately lavender pyrethrum. Then
all the poppy family began to arrive,
first the Oriental, looking bit like
an over-dressed dowager, but lend
ing class to any garden. She did not
stay long but her poor relations (no
doubt regarded so by her), the ice
land and the common variety have
stayed the entire summer, making
everyone happy with their brilliant
reds and yellows.
Along the walls and the borders
have been the white sweet alyssun
with its delicate little partner blue
lobelia. Their beauty is really
breath-taking. Such dependable lit
tie folks, too.
Summer is over and it is autumn
and you have all been here-zinnias
snapdragons, calendulas, cosmo
clarkia, petunias, phlox, sweet will
liam, bachelor buttons, dahlias
liatris, gladioli, sweet peas, asters.
You have all been love1y-you
beauty, your fragrance, your reasol
for being. And again before yo
leave, may say, ''Thank you, beau
tiful garden" AMY MARTIN.

was on wire-drag surveys in New
England, where special apparatus
was used to locate submerged
pinnacle rocks which are hazards
to navigation. He also used this
equipment to sweep inland pas

Admiral Colbert was director of
coast surveys at Manila from
1928 to 1880. During an earlier
assignment in the Philippines he
surveyed the coasts and waters Of
Mindanao, Negros and Palawan

WeIfareFund Trustees
Prepare 10 Resume
Payments 10 Miners

Trustees of the United Mine
Workers welfare and pension
fund have paved the way for early
resumption of benefit payments to
the miners after a suspension of
more than six months.
John L. Lewis met yesterday
with Senator Bridges. Republican.
of New Hampshire. who is retir-
ing as neutral trustee Of the big
fund. They turned over an esti-
mated 100000 residue from
the old fund to the new trustees
named in the contract which was
signed last month to end the soft
coal strike.
The new Trustee Board in
cludes Mr.. Lewis, Charles A. Owen
of New York. representing the
mine operators, and Miss jose
phine Roche, longtime friend of
Mr.. Lewis, who succeeds Sena-
ator Bridges as the neutral
trustee.
The money merged with the new
fund was collected after the 1948
mine contract expired last June
80. First operator payments OF 80
cents per ton on all coal produced
are due April 10. The new fund
will bring in about $3.50 million a
year.
Welfare and pension payments
were suspended last September
when funds ran low. Later, court
suits and disagreement among the
trustees prevented resumption of
payments.
Senator Bridges, who has served
on the board the last two years,
said the trustees would file an &C
counting of expenditures in the
District Court. The Senator took
over as neutral trustee during the
miners pension strike of 1948 and
took the lead in working out the
500 a month pension plan.

Lodge valley, it was found that the
average loss of water on bitches
studied was about 80 percent per
mile of ditch. With a ditch loss of
this kind, real saving of water can
be realized by planning combinations
that will cut down the length of
ditch.
Fall is also good time to get the
willow trees and brush off the ditch
bank. Once this is done, spraying,
moving or pasturing will keep the
banks clean. Weed and brush growth
on the ditch bank raise the water
level in the ditch, increase evapora-
ton and seepage in addition to pre-
venting regular maintenance work.
A lot of irrigation can be done on
a dry field in the fall by leveling.
A land plane job to knock off the
small humps and fill in some old
dead burrows will be of great help
in spreading water next year. Even
the small leveler with the adjustable
blade will do a lot of good in this
respect.
Build Fixtures This Winter
If measuring devices, turnouts and
headgates are needed, they can be
made in the shop this fall or winter
and installed very quickly next
spring. Plans can be found for con-
struction of the Parshall flume in
Extension Service circular M-220 en-
titled Measuring Devices for Irriga-
ton Water" This is new bulletin
which can be obtained at your coun-
ty agents office.
1t is important to get the water
off the land as well as on it. Surface
drains may be needed for this pur-.
pose. Fall is good time to locate
these drain bitches and install them.
They prevent impounding of water
at the lower end of the field. A good
ditch through the low part of a
Doggy area will increase forage pro-
duction and improve the land. When
the soil is too wet to ditch with ma
chinery, dynamite can be used.
Yes, lot of irrigation can be done

q normal schedule. Last nights
opening was rather like old times,
finding its essence in what was
happening on the stage.
What was happening there is
an amusing play about a pretty
Congresswoman. There probably
never has been pretty Congress-
woman just like Faye Emerson
who plays the role. There might
never be one unless there is a
revolutionary change in the Ma
tion's sense of the correct Office
for blonds. This is of no impor-
tance. The important thing is
that this make-believe ornament
to the legislative branch shall be
interesting in her own right.
On a satisfying scale she meas
ures up to this recruitment as any
woman very well might measure
up when her political liberalism
becomes entangled in her emo
tional attachment for a hand
some reactionary college presi-
dent.
This is the story OF Goodbye,
My Fancy" as imagined by Faye
Kanin and as highly approved by
everybody during the two seasons
before the play could find shelter
In Washington.
It is directed in this version by
Sam Wannamaker who performed
the same function on Broadway.
Mr.. Wannamaker. who also plays
one of the key roles, knew exactly
what Miss Kanin was driving at
when she. herself, might have left
things fuzzy. What points the
play has to make are brought off
amusingly and if it does not
shame political reaction to ex-
tinction. well, what play ever
really did?
AS a Broadway triumph a cou-
pie of years ago. Goodbye. My
Fancy" was notable chiefly as
the play which caused everyone
to fall in love with Madeleine
Carroll all over again. Miss Car
roll was making her first Broad

career in the movies, later as a
war zone Red Cross worker. She
was a heroine Of irresistible charm,
a Mata Hari of liberalism who
might have menaced the poise
of the Coolidge administration
had not history already swallowed
up the silent man.
The notion was that Goodbye,
My Fancy was unequivocally
Miss Carroll's play.
1t is no act of disloyalty to
her to aver that the production at
the Gayety casts doubt upon this
assumption. Haila Stoddard. Mr..
Wannamker and Miss Emerson
with host of lesser colleagues
make an agreeably gay evening

They even give it a quality of
timeliness with the help of the
headlines growing out to the
spirit of inquiry which prevails
locally. Congressional inquiry, of
course.
AS member of the play writing
Kanins determined to set things
in Washington on a more even
keel, the author of Goodbye, My
Fancy" is earnestly humorous
about her work.
She has created a captivating
heroine for Miss Emerson to
work on. She has had to be a

college at 18 and becoming al
most instantly a renowned foreign
correspondent, but who cares?
From this experience, she went
on to Congress and from Congress
she has come back to her no
longer quizzical alma mater for
an honorary degree.
Who is president now but the
adored young history professor
who was the cause of her expul-
sion, but since it was love then, it
still is love. This time the balance
is to be squared by marriage, if
the girl can reconcile herself to
the new academic stuffiness of
her old beau and, at the same
time, escape the male animal who
is stalking her in his guise as a
Life photographer.
It is situation into which an
artful playwright can inject any
number of tried and true f1avors.
Among these are airy recalls of
campus days, sentimental insights
into college girls on the threshold
OF life, and intense sequences in
which liberalism and reaction
come to grips.
Miss Kanin has handled them
all with a clever workman's touch
and Mr.. Wannamaker is perhaps
even more competent as her di-
rector.
In the key role, which she deco
rates nicely, Miss Emerson sug-
gests that Congress would be a
more pleasantly lively place If
voters had the wisdom to con-
slider blond types more carefully
She is brightly supported by a
number of her colleagues, most
notably Miss Stoddard as the
weary. disillusioned secretary

as the predatory cameraman from
Life. Helen HARRISON cuts a win
ming figure as the daughter of the
