Christmas season is a compara-
lively recent development, one
which many enjoy. The azalea,
however. needs cool situation for
best results. In a warm, dry room
the red spider mites are likely
to assist in the rapid defoliation
and short season of bloom. Kept
in a cool room and we'll supplied
with moisture the plants should
remain in bloom for several weeks.
Following the Towering period
the plants should be given the
coolest location available, where
they receive some sunlight Keep
the plant growing until the
weather moderates and then plant
in the garden. Several of the
varieties being forced, however,
are not hardy. and they should
be discarded unless the owner
wishes to lift them again in the
early fall for another tour of duty
in the house.
Start IN January.
For the warmer situation, the
kalanchoe is satisfactory
Christmas season plant although
few think of it as such. The ability
OF the kalanchoe to Withstand
warm, dry rooms should not be
taken to mean that such growing
conditions are ideal. The kalan-
choe, which resembles succulent,
should be started in January for
bloom the following December.
They may be grown in the garden
during the summer, provided they
are potted and brought indoors
by September. Shortening of the
days seems to help the plants get
the bloom period started on
schedule.
Other Christmas plants such as
the Otaheite orange, the Chinese
or Christmas peppers and Christ
mas cherries are not as widely
grown as formerly. Perhaps this
may be due to the GOODNESS re-
quired for the successful culture
of the latter two. The orange, in
contrast, requires less heat but
more protection from insects.
Moreover, it is a slow grower and
unless well-started plants (trees)
are obtained at the start, a re-
spectacle showing may not be OBJ
tanned for several years.
The African violet is becoming
popular as a gift plant at the holi-
day season. They will thrive in
the average room provided there is
not sharp variation in room tenn
perature. Also, for good bloom
they must have some indirect sun
light each day. Shade produces
foliage, while too much sunlight
usually results in abundant bloom
but sparse foliage.

Robinson 10 Referee
Bout at Benefit Show
To Aid Vests Family

Sugar Ray Robinson, world
Eelterweight boxing champion,
will referee one of the feature
bouts on the Sonny Boy West
Benefit show Thursday night at
Uline Arena.
Robinson recently completed
very successful tour of France
and is sailing back to New York.
He was reached by Al WE'LL,
Madison Square Garden match
maker. on the ship-to-shore tele-
phone and accepted the invitation
to participate in the show which
will provide funds for the family
of West. The Washington light
weight died after a bout with
Percy Bassett in New York last
week.
Boxed with West.
Sugar Ray recalled West as a
promising youngster he boxed in
the Liberty Athletic Club gym
here several years ago and offered
to cooperate in every way pos
sible to make the benefit a sue
cess.
BasSett and Ted Davis, prin-
cipals in the main event Thurs
day, are to open public drills for
their 10-rounder tomorrow at the
Liberty A.C. ....-
The two negro lightweights are
among the best in their division
Bassett, 81 years old, has won Al
out of 49 pro bouts and has
stopped such fighters as Bobby
Bell, who fights Washington,s
Eugene Smith in a supporting
bout Thursday, Luis Ramos, Wal
ter (Cabey) Lewis, Archie Will
son and Danny Webb.
Davis, % is managed by Willie
Pep, former world featherweight
titlist who will second his boy in
the benefit show. The red-haired
Negro fought Pep three times and
the champ was so impressed that
he purchased Davis contract.
This year Davis mas scored WINS
over Paddy DeMarco, Julie Hogan
and Dennis Pat.
Good Preliminary Promised.
The special supporting eight
rounder between nghtweightS
Smith and Bell stacks up as an
other good fight Bell, an ex-
ponent of his stablemate Beau
Jacks bolo punching style, fought
Pep here last summer and de-
feated Charlie Titone when the
latter was tops in Washington.
Smith, only 18, is undefeated
and is considered by many as a
promising newcomer both as a
boxer and puncher.
Julian Keene, Washington light
heavyweight, faces Johnny Pratt,
former All-Army middleweight
champion, in another eight
rounder while the opponents in
two scheduled four-rounders will
be announced later.

rather than to wait until next
spring. when delivery is likely to
be slow and uncertain. The usual
rush of spring purchases normally
bogs the transportation systems
and in the present emergency
slack-season buying is urged as
one way of reducing the expected
shipping difficulties.
Potted bulbs may be brought
indoors whenever the root growth
indicates they are ready for fore
ing. The transition from out-of-
doors to heat and moisture should
be gradual to insure stocky
growth. A few days in the garage
or porch to allow the pots to thaw
and then in cool basement room
where the temperature is below
so degrees until top growth ap-
pears. A sunny but cool window
is needed when the leaves appear.
After the recent strong winds
it is desirable to check the climb
ers, especially the climbing roses,
to see that they are securely fas-
tened. If allowed to blow about,
the bark will be torn, an injury
where disease may enter. Bruised
canes are the most common cause
of the spread of stem canker of
climbing roses.
Fill low spots in the lawn and
flower beds to prevent standing
watering from killing grass and
dormant perennials. Very few
dormant plants will survive for
long in water logged soil.
Now is good time to check
over the garden tools. Send those
in need of repair or sharpening to
the shop so that they will be
ready when needed.
The discarded Christmas trees
may be cut up and spread over
rose beds, perennial borders
wherever protection from sun and
wind is needed.

Chinese Feel Sorry for Oppressed Americans

Life in the village under the
Communists was a succession of
open forums and council meet
ings. Boiled down, the Reds drum
on two points in seeking to i'm
prove the villagers: % keep
clean: % study.
We were Quartered in one vii
lage within a month safter it
came under Red rule. Events were
still fresh in the minds of the
villagers, so we got a close look
at Communist techniques in
taking over.
Even before the Red troops
come in, the village probably has
Communist cell. Frequently
they are students, who became
Communists and went out to do
missionary work among the peas
ants.
Land Reform First Job.
When the troops come in, the
first order Of business is reap
portionment of the land. For CEN
turies. landless peasants have
been virtual slaves of the land
lords. Sun Yat-sen, in the first
Chinese revolution, promised land
reform. Chang Kai-shek prom
tsed to carry out Suns promises
after Suns death, but the years
went by and nothing happened.
except the landlords got tougher
and richer all the time.
Carrying out the land reforms.
and dividing the land among the
villagers, won the Chinese Reds
more support among the common
people Of China than any other
single policy.
While we were held, the Reds
bosses changed their policy of try
ing and executing landlords. At
first. landlords were brought be-
fore the peoples courts appointed
when a district was taken over.
The peasants were urged to bring
charges of crimes by the land
lords against the people. We
heard Of a number of ugly Incl
dents in which landlords were
almost literally torn to pieces by
mobs of peasants who carried old
grudgeS.
