ment not only for Ellen but also
for myself and all others. I must
add it TO the brief scripture of the
main items of my religion:
"What doth the Lord require of
thee but to love mercy and to do
justly and to walk humbly with
thy God," from Micah.
Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as myself" from Leviticus.
The Golden Rule from the New
Testament.
And now: BE thou blessing
from Genesis.
In these is all my religion and,
it seems to me that "Be thou a
blessing" comprehends the good
ness of Micah, Leviticus and the
Golden Rule. If Ellen and I love
mercy and do justly and walk
humbly with God, if we have due
regard for our neighbors and do
unto others as we would be done
by we shall be a blessing.
l1t's an awful world because SC
many of the people are curses in
stead Of being blessings.l
1 thank Ellen ever so much fol
bringing me to all this at he1
teens. May I suggest it "Be
thou a blessing" as a text for the
sermons of all the rabbis next
Sabbath. A kind of spiritua,
birthday present for Ellen anc
all others in the teens.
In being a blessing is the sum
of being Jewish a n d Christian
too.

I was in her house that morning
and was an eyewitness to Ellen
walking three steps from here
all the way to- there.
AS one who likes to collect his
toric utterances. I remember her
first word. II was cookie. And her
first day in school: the triumph
ant first time she wrote her name;
her recitation of the Passover
story which she had brought from
Sabbath school: her story of
George Washington and the
cherry tree.
Ellen was growing into a big
girl, through elementary to jun
ior high. The Sabbath school had
her on its monthly honor roll;
she was ON the honor roll of jun
Tor high. I had witnessed her first
step in the world and now she
was dancing, too.
Now she had come to her teens.
On such occasions grandpas like
to make a show Of wisdom by
pious speeches 70 the kids
Now you've come TO a time Of
life. and from here on ..." ETC..
etc. Grandpas can be such boring
people.
The kids would rather hear
Uncle Nifty. I myself have only
seven words for Ellen at the gate
of her teens. These are the seven
words: ELLEN, just keep on being
a blessing"
I like that j.. BE thou a bless
ing" as a prime command

enough for Ellen TO be nationally
an American. though I hoped she
would take to her heart and keep
there the latter part of the COM
mandment that was given Abra-
ham: BE thou a blessing"
To be blessing was the main
end of Jewish and American
living: to be good, to be kind, to
know the neighbor as brothers, to
carry into the life of America the
noble idealism Of the Jewish
teaching. That was being both
American and Jewish-a blessing!
As I looked at infant Ellen

Ellen 10 be this blessing.
Well, the 10 years had passed.
I could remember Ellen's first step
in the world, on June 81, 1941. By
way of keeping track of history I
had made careful note of the date.

Quick-Paving Plan Used
On Some Virginia Roads
By the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, July 20.-The
State Highway Department says
it has started using a new meth
Cd of paving highways.
The system involves mixing
base material in a machine haul
ing the mixture to the location
and applying it from a spreader
and rolling it on in one speedy
operation.
The apartment thinks the pre-
mixing of the ingredients and
the single operation of spreading
and rolling will eliminate long
hours of slow work now involved
In the paving process.
At present, the department is
using the method on U. S. Route
So east of Danville, U. S. Route
$50 at Charlottesville and State
Route 100 south of Dublin. How
ever, department officials report
ed, the method will be used most
frequently in sections Of the
State where the proper type of
stone Is available.
The method has been used in
other States including North
Carolina.

He began to take an intellec-
tual interest in topiary, which
can be traced at least as far
back as Pliny, the Elder. Roman
naturalist and author, who had
topiary in the gardens of his
famous Tuscan villa. His neph-
ew, Pliny. the younger, de-
scribed them as adorned with
representations of divers ami
mails in box"
FavOrite of Louis XII.
There was much topiary in the
gardens of Versailles on which
Louis XI spent $40 million in
gold. It was popular in Dutch
gardens and it was when Will
liam III, Prince of Orange be-
came King of England Q689)
that it reached its height of
popularity there.
In the next century Addison
and Pope inveighed against it.
They were for the natural" gar
den. The popularity of Jean
Jacques Rousseau's philosophy
caused a switch in gardens. They
became rustic haunts for his
natural man, a trend carried
on in this country by the Frede-
rick Law Olmsteds. father and
son, in Central Park, New York,
the Capitol grounds and Rock
Creek Park. Armed with his
clippers, Mr.. Ladew is resolutely
battling this trend.
Mr.. Ladew also is interested in
deep sea fishing. He recently
fashioned a sailf1sh rising from a
hedge at his Florida place near
Palm Beach. His only concern
is that this particular hedge
grows so fast that the fish may
get away from the caretaker dur
ing the summer.

Montgomery Hearing
On zoning Shift Set
Tonight al Rockville

The Montgomery County
Council will hold a public hear
ing at 8 o'clock tonight on a
new zoning ordinance, the first
major change in zoning laws
since 1923.
The hearing will be held in
the Rockville Circuit Court room.
It will cover both the zoning
text and the new zoning map.
The new ordinance increases
from five to IA the number of
zoning claSsif1cations. The Or
dinance provides for eight resi-
Dental classifications ranging
from rural agricultural to high
density apartments.
Under the present ordinance
the council has only one zone

trial. The new ordinance pro-
vides for three commercial classi-
f1cations and both light and
heavy industrial zones.
Also included in the new
ordinance is zone for a
residential planned community
which will permit the zoning Of
a large tract to include single
family units. multiple family
units and shopping centers.
The Dlan was drawn nv the
Maryland-Na National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and
was submitted to the County
Council in November, 1851, after
more than two years of prepara-
ton. The planning commission
last year held a series of public
hearings on the plan, which is
similar to one in operation in
Prince Georges County since
November. 1949.

By George Kennedy

The ancient art of topiary has
a practitioner in Maryland -
Harvey S. Ladew, former master
of fox hounds of the Hartford
County Hunt.
Topiary is the trimming OF
hedge trees into stylized shapes
including birds and animals.
Mr.. Ladew has surrounded his
Pleasant Valley farm north OF
Baltimore with formal gardens
of perfect lawns bordered by
hedges. Swans cut from the live
growth swim along the top OF
one hedge. Along the walks
squirrels sit IN their haunches
and pheasants spread their tails
There are battlements of hem
lock and hedge walls with large
square openings cut in them so
the stroller can enjoy the view
down the valley.
1t was while hunting in Eng
land that he first became inter-
ested in topiary. Riding cross
country he saw a fascinating,
life-like pack of hounds chasing
a fox along the top of a hedge
all fashioned from the living
bushes.
He contrived to meet the peo-
pie who owned the place and
they put him in touch with the
country artisan who had fash
ioned the wire frames which
guide the trimming of the fig
ures. The wire frame is always
there. The growth of the hedge
conceals it.
Returns With Frames.
He brought back set of
frames to his Long Island home
AS a young man just back from
World War I, he had sold out
his hereditary interest in a
leather betting plant and de-
voted himself to the chase. He
was delighted to find that Jap
anese yew, a needle tree, grows
much faster than English yew.
The latter grows less than two
inches a year and a toparial
masterpiece becomes a lifetime
job.
He soon had the hounds chas-
ing the fox on a privet hedge
and a splendid chanticleer all
but Growing atop a yew tree.
That was just a start. Twenty
five years ago when he decided
Hartford County provided the
best American fox hunting, he
moved the fox hunting hedge
and the chanticleer to his new
home.
His only regret is that he
planted the hedge where it soon
became shaded. The fox is doing
all right. His brush is up and he
| is prancing along; he is escaping
