CHURCHILL Halls ROLE
OF TECHNION IN
DEVELOPING MIDDLE EAST

LONDON, (JTA) - The role of
the Israel Institute of Technology
in training technicians for de-
velopment of the resources of the
Middle East region was praised
here in a cable from Sir Winston
Churchill who is currently vaca-
tioning on the Riviera. The mes
sage was sent to dinner in honor
of Sir Winston rendered by the
British Technion Society.
The cable read: 'The peaceful
development of the resources of
the Middle East is essential for all
who live there, and projects for
training technicians for this pur-
pose are most highly to be COM
mended." Sir Winston was repre-
sented at the dinner by his son,
Randolph Churchill, who will also
attend ceremonies at Technion
City, on the slopes of Mt. Carmel
outside Haifa, to lay the corner
stone for the Churchill Auditor
ium honoring Britain's elder
statesman.

HOLLYWOOD. Oct. . tR).-,
Marion Brando is q changed
man nowadays. He has become
Q producer.
The last person this reporter
ever expected to see supervis-
ing story conferences. casting
and all the thousand odd de-
tails of picture-making, was
freedom flowing Brando. But
it's true. Marion is as intense
about production as he is
about acting - and that's
pretty intense.
His first producing chore win
also be his first Western. He'll
both make and star In ITO

of "Hondo." Brando has some
fixed ideas on how hen make

permeated the usual Holly

Western heroes were not brave
100 per cent Of the time nor
were they good 100 per cent
Of the time. I think Stanley
Kramer started good trend
toward authentic realism in
Westerns with High Noon"
That doesn't mean that
Brando's Western viii be all
art. It win be Q combination
Of intense character delinea-
ton, as have all Brando pic
lures, plus good action.
There are certain conces-
sions to commercial entertain-
ment that must be made. |"
Brando declares. After all.
It Is q business. Even Shake
speare had to insert bawdy
hunaor in some Of his plays
to cater to the commercial
taste Of his audience. How
ever, the last thing I'll ever
be is q strictly commercial
producer interested only In
money.

particular gift unless 1t be to
realize that plants must have
certain. requirements as to
moisture, light, food and pro-
lection. These requirements are
not difficult to supply to seeds or
plants.
Bulbs come in a somewhat
different category since they
have already stored up food for
their seasons activity as well as
developed a flower bud that will
pop out of the ground and bloom
as soon as the temperatures are
favorable.
The green thumb myth can
be exploded by anyone-young
or old-who will place seeds or
plants in a well-prepared soil,
assuming that the seeds are
viable (not dead) and the plants
still have life in their roots. No
amount of magic will make dead
seed come to life.
Know Your Sources
Vegetable seeds according to
law cannot beshipped in inter-
state commerce unless they meet
certain minimums of germina-
ton and purity. There are no
such regulations for flower seeds.
The only insurance for the home
gardner is either through home
test, or better still to buy from
a reliable firm.
Woody shrubs and trees may
be tested by scratching the bark
with thumbnail or knife. The
underbark of live woody plants
is green, that of dead plants
brown.
1t is rather difficult to tell the
condition of perennial plants
except by unwrapping and exam
lining them. Shriveled, dried out
crowns and roots should be
viewed with suspicion because
even though alive, the chances
are they are lacking in vitality
and will not give satisfactory
performance.
The above is Of help only to
the bargain hunter. Reputable
merchants go to considerable ef-
fort to supply strong, healthy
plants to their customers, the
cheapest kinds to buy.

any harm.
I figured that once a day was
enough to milk any COW. so I

Seems to me there is just as
much, or more milk than ever.

ture to take care of both the trees
and the garden. This may not
be economical for some, but at
least it shows that the job can
be done.
The green thumber usually
keeps a close watch on his or her
plants and whenever insects be-
gin to bother, provides the neces-
sary protection. The main point
of difference here is that the
protection is given at the first
sign of injury, not after the
plants have been destroyed. Pro-
lection is easier today because
of the excellent mixtures avail
able. However, for the most part,
plant protection is prevention
and to be a preventative the
materials must be applied before
the damage occurs. Keeping q
daily check on the plants and
spotting the first injury is the
sign of a green thumb" ANY,
one can do that if he is interested
in gardening.
You undoubtedly have guessed
that we do not put much stock
in the green thumb myth. Live,
healthy plants, put in we'll
prepared bed or garden, will live
and grow with the minimum of
daily care which includes atten-
tion to the amount of sunlight.
fertilizer and water that they
need and protection from insects
and diseases. These are not diff
ficult to give.
Many men devote only a few
minutes of a morning and yet
have splendid gardens. And,
they don't claim to have green
thumbs.
