THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES z. TRACEWELL

Templeton Jones, you may
or may not know, is a Meth
odist. born.
No doubt he has somehow
failed to work at it. over the
years, but in his heart and
mind "the old time religion"
Is good enough for him.
Yet he has an abiding
respect for all faiths. so that
recently when his favorite cat,
a white one named Creamo.
came up missing, Jones did
not hesitate.
AS he walked home. he
came to the parish house of
the Church Of the Blessed
Sacrament.
Two stone benches are on
the sidewalk there, facing
toward the church.
Back in the yard, there Is
a beautiful statue Of the
Blessed Virgin. on a pedestal
with banked layers of flowers
growing in it.
The statue had been facing
the parish house, but recently
the figure had been turned
around. facing the church
across Western avenue.
Templeton Jones approved
of this change. and was par
ticularly struck by the green
growing condition of the
flowers around the base.
Somebody with the pro-
verbal green thumb had been
at work there, he thought.
and so it proved.
He asked about 1t, and
found that a member Of a
church in another parish had
made it his contribution to
keep the flowers fresh and
growing and the leaves shiny
and green.
Surely. st. Fiacre, patron
of gardener must have
helped here. too.
Templeton Jones sat down
on the bench, bowed his head,
and said:
Blessed Mary, help us to
find again our little white
friend, he of the green eyes
and the pinkie ears. We ask
it in the name Of Thy Son.
and our Saviour. Jesus Christ.
who said. Suffer the little
ones to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of heaven
Amen"
Jones lifted his eyes. The
sun was shining brightly over
the street. and small white
clouds shone high in the
heavens.
Somehow. Templeton Jones
felt better.
He walked UP Brookeville
road (some people prefer to
spell 1t without the "e")
looking from right to left
up side streets for the sight

made?
Perhaps It would be better
called man-wrecked, after q
look at it.
The man who keeps the
flowers growing fresh around
the Virgin must get a great
satisfaction out of his work.
Gardening is man-made for
the better of mankind and
the invisible world, and there
fore may be believed to have
Heaven on its side.
Without our gardens, what
would the world be but stones
and muddy places, except for
the forests and jungles, where
there are mosquitoes and
snakes and all sorts Of shady
things.
Gardening, whether at
home or church or wherever.
brings blessed release from
tensions.
We hear a great deal to-
day about tensions Of one
sort or another, about tran
quilizerS. gifts of pharma-
ceutical science to mankind.
and about release from ten
SionS.
Well. gardening has been
doing it for many for CEN
turtles.
Confronted by the slow
growth of plants. the hurry
worry of man makes us
slightly ashamed Of ourselves.
The head must be bowed
down. in gardening, toward
the good earth and all it
means. Centuries are bridged
py the same slow motions
OF hand and trowel. One can
not get a plant to grow and
flower any quicker today
than centuries ago. Even
prayer won't do it.
A word of advice to parents:
Actively teach the little
ones to garden, because If
they do not receive this train
ing, in later years they will
not be gardeners, no matter
how hard they try to be.
AS with proper nutrition, it
is something that cannot be
made up later.

Animation Decision

Inc Arlington CIR c ulJ
Court has interpreted the
Moncure bill so as to allow
the 1857 AIM County Board
to make the two school board
appointments beginning jan
uary l, 1858. The decision was
based, according to Judge
Walter Mccarthy. on the ''in-
tent Of the legislature" when
the Moncure bill was passed
last year. Judicial interpreta-
ton of legislation is tradi-
tionally based either on the
legislative words as they
stand, or on the intent be-
hind the legislation. The
burden on the courts Of in
terpreting ambiguous legis-
lation has generally led the
judiciary to utilize that
method which will provide
the firmest ground on which
to stand.
Max Rubin, in the Harvard
Law Review, some years ago
offered a theory that the in
tention Of the legislature was
undiscoverable in any real
sense. Little should be in
ferred. he said. from the am
biguous act of acquiescence.
among a hundred people.
motivated in hundreds of
ways. to a proposal which
may have meant one thing
to them at that time, an
other thing at some other
time.
The problem here. how
ever. was not confusion as to
what the General Assembly
meant to do. Their twofold
purpose was obvious: To pun
ish Arlington for the past,
and to dominate the future
so that Arlington's school
board members would more
nearly conform to their
idea OF a typical Virginia
public official. So the prob
lem here was to discover il
it was possible for the Mon
cure bill to insure the will
of the legislature. or
whether the only method Of
adjudication open to the
court was to construe the bill
on the legislative words only.
That the intent OF the
legislators-to insure APP
pointments acceptable to
them-is impossible OF ac-
complishment, is apparent
from the first appointment
made under the Moncure bill.
This AIM appointment must
have surprised downstate
Virginians just as 1t did local
Virginians. because it went to
a Northerner. a supporter OF
T. Coleman Andrews, an ex-
tremist in the eyes of many.
Where was that perfect and
acceptable appointee. that
Southerner, that Byrd Demo-
crat. that moderate conser-
vative OF which the General
Assembly dreamed when it
passed the Moncure bill?
The other method OF adj
Indication open to the court.
uniquely appropriate to this
controversy. was to place on
the words OF the act a con-
struction consistent with ex-
listing law and practice. In
Virginia. as elsewhere, the
will Of the electorate as ex-
pressed in the most recent
election is held to be Of i'm
portance. Appointm e nts
made by lame-duck sessions

sidered unfortunate. in spite

ASTRONOMY NOTES By OLAF HALVORSON

It was my privilege little over year ago to visit the Lick Ob- servatory on Mount Hamilton, a short distance out of San Jose, California.
 I will long remember the three hour taxi ride up that long, steep winding road It was a beautiful ride, passing by numerous fruit orchards and irrigated ranches.
 About half way up in a little valley we saw a ranger station. It took a skilled driver to maneuver the car in a zigzag manner and he made all the turns very success fully.
 Finally the summit was reached but to our disappointment the ob- servatory was closed that eve ming. I could not give up the de- sire to look thru the big telescope so the following evening, at an additional cost of $25 taxi fare, I made another attempt which proved successful.
 The astronomer, learning that 1 was from far distant Nome, per mitted me to observe the planets  Saturn and also binary star close to Vega.
