Union officials hold out little

Just one is the question OF

Find Biblical
City Of Gideon

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8 up.
American psychologists have
discovered the Biblical Israelite
city Of Gideon near El-Jib, 8
miles north Of Jerusalem.
Gideon. mentioned AZ times in
the Bible, is described in the
!Old Testament as zone of the
royal cities" Archaeologists be-
sblieve the Jewish city was built
before 1900 BIC. and was at its
speak from 800 to 800 BIC.
The University of Pennsyl-
vania Museum announced the
discovery today. 1t said parts
of Gibeon's Notifications and its
water system had been excavated
during the summer by an expedi-
*tion sponsored by the museum
and the Church Divinity School
.of the Pacific, Berkeley, Calf.
Identification of El-Jib as the
ssite Of Gideon came with the
discovery Of three storage jars
inscribed in Hebrew script with
the address of their owner, the
announcement said.

The expedition was said to
have dug in the pool for seven
weeks without finding the bot
tom. They had followed stone,

which served, it was said, as an
access for the Gideon people to

Though I am not an "old

I have lived in this area all
of my life, and have been ac-

years.
Since the fall planting sea-
son is almost upon us. it would
be wise for you to order ever
greens. and bulbs as soon as
possible.
The various broad-leaved
evergreens are very useful for
foundation planting. includ-
ing Liqustrum, Lucidum, Chi
nese holly, camellias, azaleas,
and rhododendrons. Japanese
yeW and Mugho pine are also
good for contrast in texture,
and always and forever, roses
in sunny spot.
All the lovely forms of daft
fodils and tulips do very well
in this area, and if you plant
some daffodils in the sun and
others in the shade you will
have a long blooming period.
There are early, mid-season
and late blooming tulips.
Also, for spring bloom, don't
forget that iris are very
lovely.
In summer, we have gorge
Gus daylillies, dutch iris. can
mas, and numerous ANIMALS
which usually require sun, and
many lovely perennials that
are satisfied with light shade.
