Weeds are probably the num-
Der one problem in vegetable gar
dens during the summer season.
They choke out small plants and
compete with them for the nut
rients and moisture in the soil.
The old control method of cult
vator, sweep and hoe is still a
good one but means a lot of hard
work and the modern gardener
is looking for an easier way out.
Everyone is looking for a
chemical that can be sprayed on
the garden and which will kill
all the weeds and grass without
harming the vegetables. That is
big order. The trouble lies in
the fact that we grow so many
different kinds of vegetables and
they belong to so many different
botanical species and families
some of which are closely related
to our common weeds-that the
chemicals used to control weeds
will also kill the vegetables.
For several years commercial
carrot growers have been Success
fully using solvents and certain
oils as sprays to kill,weeds in car
rot fields. Onion growers have
also had some success with the
use of chemicals. In recent years
a material known as 2,4-d has
been used extensively to kill
broadleaved weeds in corn, glad
iolus and in lawns. Used at the

IN MEMORIAM

I'm MLMOh1AM q
In loving memory of our father,
Tucker Daniels, who died May 26th.
one year ago.
Faithful and honest in all his ways,
Devoted and true till the end of
his days,
Loving and gentle, patient and
kind,
What beautiful memory he left
behind.
God knew your load was heavy,
Though you never did complain,
So He took you home to heaven,
where there
Is no grief or pain.
The memory of those happy days
When we were all together,
Your loving smile and cheerful
ways,
Will live in our hearts forever.
We cannot say, nor do we say, that
He is dead, he is just away.
The dearest father the world could
hold,
The cherished smile and heart
of gold,
Those who knew him all will know,
How much we lost one year ago.
A smiling face, a heart of gold,
Always gentle, loving and kind;
What beautiful memory
To leave behind.

me. The history of mankind is
all tied up with food and the
development of cooking; for one
thing is certain-wars have come

shaken the earth, but mankind
has always had one prime in
terest, his stomach.
And now we are going to have

GLIM p S ES
T HI E p A S T
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

In this fast moving world to-
days luxury is tomorrow's nee
essity, but at least one new item
is likely to remain in the luxury
class for some time to come.
A recent newspaper article told
of an atomic powered cooking
range, now being used in the
experimental stage, that sells
for around $4,000. In a year or
so, the article said, it may be ON
the market for $1,000. 1t seems
to me that anyone with that kind
of money to spend on kitchen
stove doesn't need to be both
cred about cooking, anyhow, so
it isn't likely that there will be
grand rush to the nearest
dealer in these parts. If men,
DRY serves me correctly, this
wonder range is supposed to
bake a cake in three minutes
and cook almost anything else
in five minutes. Such speed
should be confusing. 1t takes
considerably longer than that to
mix cake, and before the cook
could get the icing started, the
cake could be burned to a crisp.
AS for other foods, the Southern
cook probably wouldn't be
happy with a pot of collards,
for instance cooked in five min
utes. The speed of the operation
just wouldn't make up for the
lack of flavor impaired only by
piece of seasoning meat SIM
mering at low temperature for
an hour. Of course, health ex-
perts have been saying for a
long time that such long cook
ing time destroys the vitamins
in food, so perhaps we would all
be healthier for eating greens
just waved over the burner, but
eating wouldn't be half as much
fun.
AS for me, 1 have just reached
the point of being able to cook
on gas range without burning
everything to a cinder, and I
don't want to cope with anything
that cooks any faster. There is,
too, that little matter of $1,000
that cools my interest even more.
Some remote ancestress of mine
was probably made to feel like
a queen by graduating from
cooking over an open fire to the
luxury of a wood range. No one
knows who first discovered that
food was more palatable cooked
than raw, though there are
plenty of theories. Charles
Lamb wrote facetiously of the
idiot Chinese boy who tried to
save his little pigs from a burn
ing hut, licked his burned fin
gers, and discovered the delici-
Gus taste of cracking. It prob
ably did happen in just some
such manner after man had dis
covered that fire could be kind
led instead of just being left to
chance. The question of who

of about $500 in jewelry and

O In Houston, police arrested a

left a truck containing 90 gal

outside the city and that a slight
jolt or failure Of the cooling

hours later after jittery police,

Job prospects are a lot bright
er these days in two Of the ma
TONS major industries-automo-
biles and steel.
Blast furnaces, long idle, are
being restarted; auto assembly
lines are gradually moving into
high gear. Steel and auto work
ers-laid off by the thousands
during the summer-are being
called back. And the outlook is
for increased hiring in Novem-
Der.
Biggest factor, of course, is
the auto industry's changeover
to production of 1855 models

/ Assembly lines should be run

New Model Orders
Increased ordering by auto
manufacturers is the main rea-
Ison behind the recent upturn in
steel production. Output this
week is scheduled at I,755, ,0OC
met tons Of ingots and castings
equal to 1875 per cent of the
nations steel-making capacity
That's the highest scheduled
operating rate since February.
The tipoff on increased buy
ing by the automakers is the
current backlog of orders for
cold rolled steel sheets used in
making car bodies. Some cold
rolled sheet mills are booked
solid for the rest Of 1854; many
are sold out through November

Cancer & Heredity
If any Of your relatives had
cancer and you're worried that
it may run in the family-relax.
Research shows little evidence
you inherit much chance of get
ting it.
This analysis was reported to
the American Cancer Society by
DR.. Douglas P. Murphy of the
University of Pennsylvania
School Of Medicine on the basis
Iof a study of nearly 10000 fe-
male relatives of women who
had cancer and others who did
not. The cancer patients had
either cancer of the breast or
uterus, the two most common
sites Of female cancer.
DR.. Murphy said, "If heredity
plays any role in Influencing the
frequency Of cancer in blood
relatives it would seem to be a
very small one"
BIG Tests
Another report to the society
told Of progress in a simple, in
expensive test to detect whether
young women may have or may
be developing cancer of the
cervix, the neck Of the uterus or
womb.
The test analyses fluids from
the vagina to measure the con-
tent Of an engine, beta-glucu-
Ironidase or BIG. An engine is
Ia chemical which accelerates
body reactions.
Eighty per cent Of younger
women who have cancer of the
.cerviX, even in an early stage,
are found to have a higher
amount Of BG, said Drs. Freddy
Homburger and S. c. Kasdon of
Tufts Medical School
The BG test offers a simple
way of identifying young wom-
en- who have significant hkeli-
hood Of having cervical cancer,
they said. It is not infallible but
.if applied to great numbers Of
younger women, it offers a
chance to save many lives by
detecting cervical cancer when
It is still II an early, durable
