The Unknown
Lafayette Story

livery student Of history has
read about General Lafayette
and his fight for mans freedom
in our country and his own.
This year, the 2O0th anniver-
sary Of his birth, his two home
lands" are salutine his memory.
But few know the full story
Of Lafayette's remarkable wife
Adrienne, whose loyalty and
devotion made one of the
worlds tenderest love stories.
Next week, thanks to a great
historical find. Adrienne'S story
will be told - by her great
great-great-grandson. Count
Rene de Chambrun.
Last year de Chambrun
found a fantastic cache Of let
tiers and documents in the dusty
attics Of La Grange, Lafayette's
chateau near Paris.
The Unknown Lafayette
Story" IS partly based on these
papers. II tells about the inti-
mate correspondence between
the General and his wife; about
the American flag that has
always flown at the head Of
Lafayette's grave, even during
the German occupation; about
the amazing message Of for
giveness written by Nine. Lafa-
yette. Its still recited each day
in perpetual prayer by nuns
in the Picpus cemetery. which
Adrienne created for victims Of
the French Revolution.

Small Space for Fruit?
Try Dwarf Varieties

II you have only a small space
for fruit trees you can still plant
dwarf trees to supply the family
with a wide selection. Dwarfs
need to be set only 10 to IL
feet apart. A space 80 feet
square thus would contain nine
dwarf trees. a fruit harvest suf-
ficient for 4 or 5 people.
Apples, pears, peaches, plums
and cherries provide an across
the-board selection. If they are
kept cultivated, strawberries can
be planted between the trees,
with bush fruits at one side.
In the case Of all fruit trees
two varieties Of each type OF
fruit are desirable, and actually
necessary in planting plum and
cherry trees. Most dwarf trees
usually bear the second year
so one does not have to wait
8 to 10 years to get fruit. II
plenty of space is available the
standard trees provide higher
yields and they also provide
shade. if needed.
Dwarf fruit trees are ideal for
the average family on the aver
age size lot. Their care including
spraying, is simple enough. since
three sprays annually is usually
sufiicient-once in early spring
when dormant. just before the
