Star stan Writer

Patricia Stephens. a Negro
coed who spent 40 days in
Jail for sitting an hour and a
half at a dime store lunch
counter in Tallahassee, Fla, is
ready to do it all over again,
In fact, she plans to do 1t
again in August in Miami.
Not even the memory of
those horrible" days in jail
and the fact that she has
been asked to withdraw as a
student at Florida A. & M.
University will stop her, Miss
Stephens said.
She Is in Washington this
week to give six speeches to
church and civic groups, spon-
sored by The Congress of Ra-
cial Equality (CORE).
IF it means jail again, well,
I'll go to JAIL" said Miss Ste
phens, 20.
1T is just something that ]
feel that I must do. When you
live in a democracy and are
denied your rights, then you
must take steps to gain them. .
Miami, she said, is her next
target because "the merchants
| in Miami promised to integrate
their lunch counters and then
backed out"
Eight Got so Days
Miss Stephens. her sister,
Priscilla, 81, and six other stu
dents were sentenced to so
days in Jail in March for
disturbing the peace, melting
to riot and disrupting the
peaceful tranquility Of the
community"
They were given an alterna'
tive of paying $500 fines each
but they chose to serve the
time. They got IL days of for
good behavior.
Miss Stephens said she anc
the other students are mem.
bers of CORE but that the sit
ins she took part in were
strictly the work of the
students.

The continuing rains have
been both a blessing and a
hindrance. Undoubtedly they
have had much to do with
Washington's green lawns, the
lush growth of flowers and
vegetables, and the heavy foli-
age of trees. They have also
contributed to the prevalence
of downy mildew on many gar
den plants; to the lush growth
of weeds and weedy grasses in
our gardens; and to the prev
alence of disease in rose gar
dens and flower borders. Un-
doubtedly most gardeners will
vote in favor of the rains, prin-
cipally because Of the green
lawns.
The rains have undoubtedly
leached out much Of the plant
food and feeding should be
repeated. Heavy dosages are
seldom advisable because of loss
from teaching, but more es-
pecially in our acid soils phos-
phate locks up quickly, and so

This condition can be

You Can Create
Beauty
With Flowers
GIudioIus Affords Rhythm
BY MRS. HERBERT H. GREGER-

is the stiffness Of erect flower
spikes plus the additional
staffness of the leaves which
troubles the arranger. Our
alternate foliage repeats in
essence the erectness, but it is
tempered by grace.
Compatible Companions
Last, but not least, we must
try to bring container and
flowers together into a unit.
The gladioluses are are too un-
wieldy to descend over the rim
of a container in a friendly
foreground grouping. 1t is
alien to their growth charac-
teristic. We find compatible
companions here and there.
The very statueSque strength
of the gladiolus allows for a
few combinations.
Among the contemporaries
the hydrangeas are most will
ing. 1t takes only a few of the
large flower clusters to bring
contrast of form. texture and
color into a design. Their
voluminous form and large
crisp leaves easily occupy the
foreground of this arrange
ment. These flowers combine
beautifully with the gladiolus
into one happy, harmonious
unit.
Satisfaction and COM
manding arrangement with two
plentiful and easily available
flowers is yours. With little
care you may enjoy it till the
last buds of the glads are
spent.
Evening star., 1960-08-21

Energetic. 1.-the and tall. in
glowing colors which tend to
strong chroma, the gladiolus
are by far the most popular
summer flowers.
Most people have a hard
time arranging them to salts
fartion. On the average. in a
container, they look like the
feathered headdress of some
ancient African warrior.
The wondersome fact is that
the wild gladiolus, the great
grand parents of our present
garden flowers are natives of
that continent. So we are not
too far amiss if we spin a web
of Imagination and ramble
about bit. perhaps on a sa-
fari.
Years ago, I watched a movie
the location of which was in
Africa and the search for King
Solomon's tabled mines was the
theme. am snre it was a con-
cocted plot but one thing was
real and I shall never forget
it. An ancient ritual war dance,
a performance of breathleSs
beauty. -. j..
Erect. organized motions,
rythmic timing combined with
the grace of fine, tall and slen-
der bodies made an unforget-
able impression. 1t was a show
of controlled vitality, SENSITIVE
ity to form and above all of
strength and dignity.
Dignified Motion
Coming back to the gladiolus,
it happens to all arrangers,
that when we combine several
of the tall stalks they group
spontaneously into stiff forma-
tions. If we are lucky, they
may produce some dignified
motion. the rythm of which
flows from their graceful tip
ends. Therein lies the key to
arranging these flowers.
Deep in a tall, dark metal
cOntainer sits nailhOlder
The strongest and the tallest
stemmed glads are firmly
anchored on it. When we group
these first three or four spikes,
let us be sure that each of the
groups of clear cut, vibrantly
beautiful flowers show to its
advantage. Organize them so
that they overlap only slightly
and in a continuous rhythm.
To much of a good thing is
hard to endure and as a change
of pace, some minor value has
been inserted. These are dark
bronzy leaves of the purple leaf
plum which serve to arrest the
strength of the vivid, coral
colored flower spikes.
The tip ends begin a clock
wise rhythm which continues
as each gladiolus is added. In
easy stages, the eyes slide grad
ually downward.
Graceful leaves of a species
Iris were used instead of the
stiff sWordlike leaves of the
gladiolus. This was done on
purpose. I always feel that it

AnSDer
Many strains of the maiden
hair fern are hardy here, but
there are others that are
too tender for out-of-door
culture. Since you have sew
eral suggest trying one in a
shady situation. Plant in a soil

IN YOUR GARDEN

College Park reports her wiste-
ria has a much better display
Of blooms now than 1t had last
spring. In many gardens the
camellias are putting on a new
burst of growth. Undoubtedly
there will be other reports of
unusual plant activity because
of the moisture and the cool
ness Of the season. We hope
the season will not delay the
departure Of the Japanese
beetles, even though it does
mean they will soon start to
work on the roots of the turf
grasses.
