Drive Carefully
Or You'll Hear
From The Ladies'
By Martha Johnson,
Dodge Safety Consultant

WOMEN are waging war on
reckless driving in many parts
of the country where the well
fare of their families or friends
is at stake.
In Los Angeles, a group of
neighbors have banded together
to battle careless motorists on
their street. Known as the Min
ute Women of Roscomare Road"
they record the license numbers
of automobiles driven in a hap
hazardous manner.
If repeated offenses are re-
corded for the same car, the
women send the owner a letter
urging him to drive more care
fully.
Heavy traffic on a school route
in Hollywood, Fla, alarmed
members of the Pilot Club there.
Their COMMUNICATIVE campaign
for a new road resulted in traf-
fic officials creating a safe route
for school children.
The Hammond, Ind, Junior
Women's Club recently COM
pleted a study of the relation
ship between vision deficiencies
and automobile accidents. Work.
ing only az night, they analysed
the accident histories of $500
Hammond drivers. Data devel.
oped has been turned over to
Purdue University for further
research.
And, in Colorado, members of
the General Federation of
Women's Clubs made 10000 tel
ephone calls prior to holiday
weekend urging motorists to
drive carefully.
Perhaps similar programs
would help save lives in your
home town.

Another letter is from cher
ished old friend. He says he has
been praying for the success of
myself and others. Now who is
there who can discount the worth
of someone's prayers. We have
had some measure of success, and
apparently there are many
changes of spirit. This letter is
from the Rev. Louis d. Hayman,
now pastor of the Methodist
Church of Yaupon Village near.
Southport, his retirement home.
Mr.. Hayman says:
Congratulations to you. Some
for the good paper you are put
ting out. Some for the good prom
ises you have made to the peo-
pie of Dare County near and far.

Over the Garden Wall
Edited by David E. Kidd
Asst County Agent

Our office is always ready to
send you some sample boxes to
take advantage of this free soil
testing lab at the University of
Maryland. There is no other
sure way of determining just
what is present in the soil.
Work lime and fertilizer into
the soil. Remove stones and
clumps. 1t won't hurt to leave
the old dead grass, if there isn't
too much-it'll make a good
mulch.
If some Of these areas to be
reseeded were lower than the
rest of the lawn, it will pay to
spread some topsoil to bring the
depression level with the rest of
the lawn. Maybe it's a high spot
that you've been scalping with
your mower. If this is so, take
out some soil. Remember, work
ing up the soil fluffs it up, so
it should be a little higher be-
fore you seed to allow for set.
ting.
Before and After Seeding
Before you scatter precious
lawn seed, maize sure the ground
is well broker up, smooth and
level, and well fed.
Last week we mentioned the
kinds of lawn seed that are best.
You can get more details by
writing our office County
Agents Office, Room 200, Old
Court House Bldg, Rockville,

Service Bulletin Ill, Lawn
Care"
If you've got good seeded,
and plant carefully, little bit of
seed will go a long way. One or
two pounds per 1000 square feet
is enough.
Scatter the seed by hand. Sow
half going in one direction and
the other half going crosswise
to the first. This way you'll be
surer of getting an even stand.
A light raking will help cover
the seeds. But don't bury them.
1t only takes a little dirt to
cover them. Rolling or tamping
will help firm the soil and speed
termination and growth.
Mulching and keeping the sur
face moist with light waterings
will help, too.

Last week we promised we'd
talk about planting lawns. But
before we get into that, maybe
it'd pay to discuss pros and
cons of sodding new lawns.
Seed or Sod?
A lot of people ask this ques'
ton. Lots of lawns are sodded
It's a quick way to get grass
around a new house. There are
three drawbacks, though: 1. It's
expensive. 2. Most sod is pas
ture grass, so you're apt to get
some weeds and undesirable
grasses that are hard to get rid
of. 3. And since pasture grasses
usually grow in sunit areas, sod
won't be adapted to shady areas
found in most lawns. If you're
in a hurry and can afford it,
maybe sodding is best for you,
But if you want to save money,
and are patient and willing to
work, you're more likely to get
a good lawn by seeding.
New Lawn or Old? 4
So far we've been talking
about starting a new lawn from
scratch. But suppose, like most
of us, you've already got a
lawn. The big question is: ais
it good enough?" or 'Could il
be better?" If it really is good,
you can quit reading right now.
But if it could be better, read on.
Reseeding bald, weedy or
scraggily spots is really no diff
ferent from seeding an entire
new lawn. So We'll talk about
spot-reseeding. But the same
steps are necessary for a new
lawn. Remember this: Don't try
too many shortcuts. There are
some things we've got to do, If
we're going to get good results,
If you don't do them, all your
time and money will be wasted,
How to Do 1t
Check over your lawn to see
if there are some areas that
Just aren't as good as the rest,
1t might be good idea to mark
these with a little lime, sprinkled
over the area to be reseeded
Chop up the ground to be re-
seeded with a hoe or rotary till.

 In referring to the Soviet tri- umph over the weekend in plant ing a rocket on the moon, Khrush- chev said:
 "Our earth has become some what lighter while the moon has gained some hundred pounds of weight"
 Polite applause greeted his rel marks.
 Biggest Civilian Airliner
 Khrushchev's huge turbo-prop plane, the worlds biggest civilian airliner, touched down at An drews Base at 12:21 a.m, about 50 minute late because of strong headwinds over the Atlantic.
 A crowd of men, women and children, which had grown stead fly since the morning, lined the waist high fence around { h e airfield decked wit h breeze whipped American and Red So- viet flags.
 As the enormous plane, white with red stripes, taxied down the concrete runway, guided by a yellow truck, the honor guard of soldiers, sailors and marines snap ped to stiff attention. Eisenhower had walked to the end of the taxing strip when the plane was spotted in the distance and was waiting there when it came to stop. A military brass band blared a martial air as the planes doors opened and the beaming Soviet leader emerged. The two most powerful leaders in the world shook hands.
 Smiling, Khrushchev waved his homburg hat as he and the Presi- dent walked toward the hard wood polished platform for the formal welcoming ceremonies.

Reds Want No Part Of Fact-Finding Mission In Laos

MOSCOW, R - Tn e Soviet Union says the only way to deal with the trouble in Laos is thru an international conference, with Red China taking part.
 The Sovfets in an official state ment issued Monday night by Tass new agency, again repudi- ated the JUN. fact-finding mission sent to investigate the tiny Asian kingdoms charges of aggression against the Communists.
 The Soviet statement warned the West that the Security Coun- cil's action might have far reaching consequences for peace and security in Indochina."
 The statement was timed with the arrival of the LIN. mission in southeast Asia and Premier Khrushchev's takeoff for talks with President Eisenhower in Washington.
 The Soviets demanded a con- ference to be "called without de- lay" by the countries that attend ed the 1854 Geneva conference which ended the French Com munist fighting in Indochina and states of South Viet Nam, Laos, They were the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, France, Red China, and the Indochinese states of South Viet Name, Laos, Cambodia and Communist North Viet Nam.
 The first U. s. reaction to the Soviet proposal was cool. A source close to the situation said:
 Apparently the Soviet leaders are not willing to let the JUN. fact finders have chance to make their report"

By WILLIAM L. RYAN

WASHINGTON, R - Soviet Premier Nikita s. KhrushcheV began his historic visit today with an appeal for good neighborly" relations between Communist and capitalist states and sharp re- minder that the Soviet Union had beaten the United States in the race to the moon.
 President Eisenhower, WelcOm- ing Khrushchev to American soil, told the chubby Communist lead CT the United States could never launch an aggressive war because the American people rule the country and are devoted to peace In the Presidents welcoming speech was the clear implication that Russia has no such built-in restraints against aggression.
 Curious But Unexcited Crowd
 While a curious but quietly un- excited crowd looked on at An drews Air Force Base, the serious faced Soviet leader heard the President express the hopes of the United States for ''just, uni Versal and enduring peace"
 The two men thus began in the very first moments of their exchange of visits a struggle for the support of world public opin- ion.
 KhruShchev's reference to his nations success in putting a cap sule on the moon, with the ham mer and sickle emblem, was a frank boast of Soviet prowess in science. Almost in so many words he told the President that Am erican science would get to the moon sooner or later, too.
 It was momentous scene in the gleaming sunlight of the air base in nearby Maryland. In sense two worlds were meeting for the first time-never before had a master of Soviet Commun- ism set foot in the United States.
 When the Presidents welcom- ing remarks were translated, the Soviet Premier applauded. Then, smiling, he approached the micro phone, donned his spectacles-and said there should be no obstacles

Castro Arrests Include Havana DiariO Editor

HAVANA, LR - Officials have arrested more than 35 persons, including the former director of the conservative newspaper Diario De La Marina, the newspaper Revolucion said yesterday.
 Revolucion, the newspaper of Prime Minister Fidel Castdo's revolutionary movement, asserted Eugenio De Sosa Chabau, 43, for mer director of Diario De La Marina and former owner of the Santa Regina sugar mill in Oriente Province, headed a group of 26 persons who plotted seizure of the naval arsenal at Casa Blanca across the bay from Havana. Cas- tro has often criticied Diar1o De La Marina as being counter revolutionary.
 Nine other persons, including one woman, were seized in a sec ond group which Revolucion said was plotting to acquire dynamite for terroristic uses. The report said the arrests were made after Castro agents penetrated the group which met on Honduran ship
