experiences for which Betsy is
not yet ready. But there's no
doubt that by the end of the
summer she will have learned
that there are other kinds Of
people than the middle class ones
she knows now. And that they
are just as worthy of liking and
respect.
1t is this understanding and ac-
ceptance of human frailties that
the Shermans are really seeking
for their daughter. They feel
that no one can develop into q
fully mature person without it.
Protecting our young from the
facts of life can only be harmful.
In the average small town for
instance, Dean points out, chill
dren come by this knowledge
easily and naturally. They know
the life story behind the town

they are old enough to pass
judgment.
Tentative future plans for
Betsy call for a stay in a small
town in Arkansas, a college
town i'm Ohio, San Francisco,
southern California and the
southwest.

tage of several summers spent on
ranches in North Dakota, Deans
home state. She has watched
cattle branding, learned to take
the picturesque" vocabulary of
the cowhands in stride and seen
authentic Indian ceremonies In
their natural setting.
Through her grandparents, the
Murrays, she has learned a great
deal about her American herit-
age. Deans parents were home
steaders who successfully pio-
neered one of the rougher sec.
tons of our country.
The Shermans settled in Mont
gomery five years ago after a
decade of the usual army career
followed by pursuit of education
that many of our wartime
couples experienced.
John now is a scientist at NH
and Dean has been making the
papers as chairman of the com.
mittee fighting to get Foreign
Languages in Elem entary
Schools.

children in the FILES program al

studying French twice a week

Sits can be cut in the paper at
regular intervals and the plants
or seeds placed through the Sits
into the soil.
In all cases paper muIches must
be held down. Soil around the
edges or laths over the top will
do 1t.
In some gardens combination
of paper and woody mulch gives
best weed control and crop-plant
growth. One suggestion is to use
paper over the row and loose
woody mulch between the rows.
This keeps moist organic mater.

LOUe that Mulch!
1t Controls Weeds

(By U. of Md. Extension Service)
A garden mulch helps to con-
troll weeds, maintain more con.
slant soil temperature and mois-
ture and helps to keep the vege-
tables clean. 1t is especially help
full in dry weather and may tide
a crop over vacation.
Inexpensive mulching mater
ials available to home gardeners
include leaves, pine needles, grass
clippings, straw, peanut hulls,
ground corn cobs, peat moss, saw
dust, shavings, wood chips, news
paper, mulching paper, cardboard
and aluminium foil. Loose organ
ic materials such as straw, leaves.
and sawdust may best be applied
after the plants are established.
Use only the amount of loose
mulch needed to control weeds.
Too much water-holding mulch
Inlay De harmful.
Woody mulching materials
break down slowly, so extra nj.
trogen is needed in the early
stages of decomposition. Usually
" pound of nitrate of soda to a
bushel is enough. Or IL pounds
of a 5-10-5 fertilizer or u pound
of cyanamide may be substituted
Broadcast the loose mulching ma.
terial as evenly as possible, using
3 to 5 bushels per 100 square
feet. Scatter the fertilizer uni
formly on top Of the mulch.
If woody materials make your
soil too acid, correct il with a III
tie lime.
The paper materials such al
newspaper, aluminium foil, mulch
ing paper and black plastic may
be spread out before or after
planting. Squares may be USED
for each plant or an entire row
may be covered at once. Cross

Rule Priests
Letter Not
Violation

PERUGIA, Italy-The Court of
Appeals of Perugia has reversed
a lower court decision which
found a parish priest guilty Of
violating the election law by
sending a letter to his parishion-
ers during an election campaign
Father Mario Vannocchi, a par
ish priest at Montone, near Peru
gia, was brought to court by the
communist vice mayor of Perugia
because the priest sent a letter
out just before the 1856 admins
rative elections.
In May. 1857. the lower court
found Father vannocehi guilty
of violating the Article Of the
election laws which forbids Re.
ligioUs from exerting pressure
TO influence the outcome Of an
election.
The higher court reversed the
decision, ruling that Father Van
nocchi had not committed any
crime in writing the letter.
L'Osservatore Romano, Vatican
City daily, in commenting on the
reversal, said:
Therefore, it is not an abuse
Of (his) proper authority for a
Religious, in the exercise of his
proper ministry, to exert influ-
ence on forces and men to de-
feat those things which he judges
to be contrary to religion"

Church i'm Iceland

LOS ANGELES Nc) IceIand's first Bishop
since the Reformation visited here and described the
challenge the Church faces in that country.
Bishop Johannes Gunnarsson, Vicar Apostolic Of
Iceland, is in the United States to seek means Of assist
ing the Church in his native land. He administers an
area the size Of ireland, and has nine priests who care
sons.
Catholics are not hindered politically, economically
or socially, the Bishop stated. He said the Church flour
ished until 1900, when internal strife and Norwegian in
roads brought a decline Of faith.
Bishop GUnnarsson is IceIand's first bishop since
Jon Arason, who was beheaded in 1850.
