Multiple Appeals

AS o member OF the COM
munity deeply concerned with
the welfare of the citizenry of
Metropolitan Washington, as
well as q patient limited by
one Of the neuromuscular
diseases. ! address this to the
thoughtful public.
At a time when the UGF is
once more pushing beyond
planned deadline to raise its
barcelona budget, several of
the national health agencies
even now are preparing to
launch their private fund
raising campaigns. To those
members of the medical pro-
fession who lend their good
names, also, in many in
stances, their valuable time to
several groups when parallel
agencies exist, because they
are under the impression the
patients welfare may best be
served; to overburdened COM
munity leaders land it is
amazing how often one finds
Implications of names, in this
city where there is so little
civic consciouSnessD and to
the grass-root workers who
ring door bells and sit on
telephones, I submit some
queries: Cd Have YOU ever
considered the costs of ad-
ministration involved in the
heavily organized campaigns?
Could it be that the large pro-
fessional stats are raising
primarily their own salaries?
90 OF those groups which are
affiliated with national organ
izations. do you ask what per-
centage is sent to national
headquarters? OF this por-
ton, do you know what goes
into actual research? The
national headquarters of one
group which I have studied
quite carefully. produces con-
siderable literature which, as
a patient, I was sent in
abundant duplication, with
no sense of discrimination.
Most gives the appearance of
having been issued via Madi-
son Avenue - coated paper,
plentiful pictures and other
costly uses of your dollars.
Have you ever asked precisely
how many local patients are
given help and the nature of
such services rendered? Did
you know that UGF requires
a rigid fiscal accounting of
each member agency's ex-
penditures, and that funds be
distributed according to DEM
onstrated needs? 90 Are you
aware Of the existence of the
National Information Bureau,
a non-prof1t reporting service
for the guidance of contribu-
tors - whose standards are
not always met by each of the
national foundations or asso-
Citations. The latter produce
literature replete with tear
jerking phrases to justify
their existence.
1t is therefore. my earnest
plea that donors, both large
and small, channel their gen.
crosby through UGF. And
as a citizen who has, in other
years, been both a collector
and a giver, I beseech each
housewife solicited for her
time to think seriously about
the multiplicity of appeals
which harrass the sensitive.

Critic toCritic

SHtBC 10 ~HtbC a
I read with amazement
the criticism by Day Thorpe
of the Turnau Opera Players
performance of Don Pas
quale" November IL. Mr..
Thorpe's short article re-
vealed that he spent but a
brief time at the perform
ance and gained most of his
knowledge Of the affair from
the program. For one thing,
he did not pause to identify
the pianist whom he likedD,
who was Melvin Strauss. the
musical director.
Most dismaying of all, the
critic seemed to miss the
point of the entire affair. The
Turnau production strives to
communicate the whole of
the opera experience. The
group presents an integrated
feeling of acting, story, set
ting, singing and accompani-
ment which is enhanced by
their work together for sew
eral years. The small scale
of the production seems more
of an asset than a liability
under these circumstances.
There are few opportuni-
ties afforded to do this in
America today and they will
remain few if critics give so
little attention when such
companies try to be heard.
The Turnau Players rep
resent a way the base for
opera can be broadened in
this country. Unless such
companies are encouraged
American opera will remain
bottled up in the Metropoli-
tan and in the music schools.
Members of the Ethical So
ciety. which presented the
opera, are particularly sensi-
tive to human relations and
try to act with responsibility
to others. We can only ask
that your critic should have
acted with similar spirit of
responsibility to his readers,
to the performers, and to
those whose hearts are with
them. Elliot L. Gutenberg.
No Divine Matter
With all due respect for
Thomas E. Murray's personal
views on resuming nuclear
tests, I think he could spare
us all the sanctimonious
erence to divine guidance"
ie regard to this complex
problem"
I have a feeling that If
God were consulted in the
matter. He would not be as
eager to resume the tests as
Mr.. Murray.

Planting Evergreens

The exception to this rule is
the evergreens bought for q
hedge. They should be cut
back severely to stimulate
branching. Several prunings
are necessary If a tight base
is to be obtained. The more
branching. the twiggier the
growth and the better hedge.
In placing the evergreens
is is well to give them ade-
quate space in which to grow
since If they come into con-
tact with one another or
some other kind of plant
they will stop growth and
soon there viii be an empty
space at the point of con-
tact. This is expected in a
hedge planting but it may be
distressing in the case Of
foundation plants.
Mulching of the ever
greens is recognized as an
important part of good cul-
ture. The shallow rooted ever
greens such as the lockwood,
azaleas, camelliaS. rhododen-
drons, ETC.. need this pro-
tective covering more during
the summer than during the
winter

having their roots covered
even an inch deeper than
they grew In the nursery.
After the soil has been
flrmed about the root-ban
and the hole filled approx
imately two-thirds, then the
burlap should be loosened
and tucked into the soil
where it viii soon rot cit is
neither necessary or desir-
able to remove the burlap).
Pour a pail or two of water
into the hole and when it
has seeped into the soil the
sole should be filled but do
not attempt to pack this
layer Of soil. It is desirable to
make a small ridge from the
remaining soil at the outer
edge of the planting hole to
facilitate watering.
Some Roots Pruned
Most balled and burlapped
evergreens were root pruned
in the nursery so that prun-
ing to compensate for loss Of
roots may be kept to a min
imum. Those bought in cans
seldom need any pruning.

Pokeweed Is Dangerous

purple in the late summer
and fall. These berries con-
tain a juice that stains the
hands and clothing. hence
the name inkberry.
The viruses which the
pokeweed may harbor are
dangerous to many kinds of
plants, and, unless this host
plant Is ruthlessly destroyed
it may make the culture Of
some kinds Of garden plants
difficult.
Digging the roots is prob
ably the easiest method Of
control, although 2.4-D is
effective If applied while the
plants are young and in active
growth. However. the birds
spread the seeds of the poke
weed in many situations where
the use of 2,4-D may be dam
gerous to surrounding plants.
Evening star., 1960-03-25

A rather common weed
that is not as ruthlessly
destroyed as it should be is
the 'pokeweed." Not only is
it noted for harboring virus
diseases that are a serious
threat to many garden plants,
but the crown of the plant
is poisonous. The tender
young shoots that grow from
the peony-like root are con-
sidered q desirable spring
green by some and are
cooked like asparagus. It is
the crown Of this thick fieshy
root that contains the poison.
The pokeweed has many
common names, such as ink
berry, poke, pokeberTy, etc.

Early April is the proper
season, and the least likely to
result in dif1iculties, for the
evergreens. This includes
both the conifers and the
broadleaved trees and shrubs
which are so important to the
. landscaping in the Washing
ton area.
They are available in such
a wide range Of form, color
and shape that few gardens
do not include several kinds.
All need careful planting
II they are to thrive and
produce the desired effects.
Most of the evergreens
need q soil in which a liberal
quantity Of compost or peat
moss. perhaps a mixture Of
the two is better, incor-
porated into the soil which
surrounds the ball Of earth
in which they should come.
Azaleas, especially want
generous quantities Of peat
moss mixed into the soil.
Bonemeal and fertilizer
should not be mixed with the
soil in the planting hole.
There is always the hkeli-
hood that it may come into
contact with the roots and
result in injury to the tender
feeding roots.
Preparing the Hole
The planting holes should
be both wider and deeper
than the root ball of the
evergreen so that q liberal
quantity Of the prepared soil
viii surround the ball. Care
should be used to firm the
soil mixture upon which the
rootball rests so that settling
may be kept to q minimum.
Even with this precaution the
top Of the root ball should be
at least one inch above the
level Of the ground.
Camellias should be placed
even higher, preferably 2
inches or so.
