Of What Are They Afraid?

Are they afraid of us because
We have learned all they taught us so well?
Are they afraid because they claim
In freedoms land we dwell?
Are they afraid because our rights
Draw nearer day by day?
Are they afraid because their claims
Are also dear to us?
Are they afraid because we have smiled
In the face of their fury-their ire?
Are they afraid of what they'll see
Upon their cross of fire?
Are they reading something in what they see
Hanging from tree after tree?
Are dead calling them to share
Their undead misery?
Are they afraid that their hollow claims
Have echoed around the world?
Are they afraid of their self-made shame
And the threats which they have hurled?
Are they afraid of a united Jus"
OF our polite but continuing persistence
That the promises they made be finally fulfilled!
Are they afraid Of our eager insistence?
Need they be? We are men, not beasts.
We love our American home
Why do they claim we will eventually destroy
Those things we have worked for so long7
No it is not we they fear much,
But our ally-a God who is just!
Having sovn their harvets they now are to reap
II is inevitabe-God said so! They must!

they did not join the small band of
Senate liberals out to clip the
wings OF Democratic Leader Lyn-

lated that both were already run

nomination.

something more immediate invol-

side While blocking of the Suez

eminent has decided to double her
domestic atomic power program.
Within the next nine years she
will be producing at least 1000

II we are able 10 avoid a World
War in 1857, there will also be
some improvement in the living
standards of the impoverished
people Of the Middle East and In

ties apparently will prevail over
the conservatives (for which read

foreign future.

If you are having outside
clotheslines in your yard. we
just completed last year what
we believe is our best feature:
a cement block walk to and
under the clotheslines. And
our flower garden is from the
walk to the fence. With the
exception of a row of flowers
along the other side and back
fence. the yard is open to
grass for play place. do not
like flower islands in the
center. as the children are apt
not to see them while play
ing. And stone borders invite
bumps and bruises.
We settled for a few tomato
plants at the back of the lot
after trying strawberries and
vegetable gardens. They take
up too much space and leave
none for living.
For the first year I would
suggest planting marigolds and
zinnias. They give so much
color and so many blooms for
very little work. Look at other
gardens nearby. See what
grows-folks are usually glad
to share a bit Of this or that
in the perennial line. Go
slowly. Some plants that you
think you would like turn out
to be pests and try to take
over-watch out for the cleome
or spider plaintiffs hard to
get rid Of when once started.

the foliage dies down the
marigolds can be planted over
them for summer bloom.
Where you want color and no
work, the day lilies practi-
cally care for themselves and
most are tolerant Of shade. so
look grand under a tree. The
other lilies like more sun, but
how fragrant are our madonna
lilies each year! The bulb iris
are nice also for cutting, but
I have lost interest In my
regular iris and am planning
on digging all my plants up
this year.
Take your time about roses;
buy good ones. And there are
so many new ones ! suggest
you get q catalogue. Keep
them together If possible as
they are jealous Of tree roots
and other plants. However.
while they need about six
hours Of sunshine each day.
some shade during the heat Of
the day seems to help them.
For some reason. white roses
do not seem so pretty In this
climate.
Give some thought to chrys-
anthemums-they give such
a grand finale to the summer.
Our yard Is only about rs BY
10 feet but we seem to have
something In bloom all the
summer.
And do get a baby sitter and
treat yourself to the flower
show--what ideas! Hope this
has been some help. ! guess
you can see that ! love
flowers too.

Collision Leaves
Many Americans
Stranded in ItuIy

ROME, July 26 (P.-The COL
liSion of the Andrea Doria and
the Swedish liner Stockholm left
hundreds of Americans in Italy
wondering today how and when
they can get home.
The Italian liner was sched-
Iuled to leave Genoa on its next
sailing for New York August IA.
More than LOO persons had
booked passage.
"It's the very height of the
IweStbound tourist season." said
AN official of large tourist
agency. Everything from Italy
lis booked up solid. But one way
Ior another, it will have to be
worked out"

another in those conditions. il
is not supposed to get within
Ione-half of the distance it is
visible.
Further, when ships are en-
|tering a crossing situation, u
the vessel with a ship to its
starboard or right side is re-
quired to keep clear.
On the question of stopping in
time, one official said a ship of
the size of the Andrea Doria
would require upward of a mile
to come to complete halt, de-
pending on its speed.
Radar Type Uncertain
Maritime experts here did not
know the precise type of radar
equipment on either of the ships.
Most of the big passenger YES
sells have two types, one for
scanning all around the ship
and the other for observing a
narrower section of, the horizon.
1t is usually possible to switch
the scanning instrument from
its 50-mile radius to a scale of
only a few miles to bring UP
objects in much greater detail.
Radar experts said what hap
pened to the ships electronic
instruments would unquestion-
ably loom large in any investi-
cation of the crash.
Because both were foreign
flag ships and the collision oc-
CURED in international rather
than American waters, it was
thought unlikely that the Coast
Guard would have authority to
conduct a formal inquiry.
No International Body
Coast Guard headquarters said
the Coast Guard probably would
make some inquiry for the in
formation and guidance of our
own merchant marine.
Beyond that, the Coast Guard
as a courtesy to a foreign
nation-would conduct an in
quiry if requested by one of the
lines or countries involved.
The Maritime Administration
said there is no international
inveStigative body which would
automatically take Jurisdiction.
If there is no formal inquiry, it
was pointed out, the results of
Investigations conducted by the
two lines probably would be aired
with the law suits.
