of the record.

penter also had some criti.
cismS Of her profession to
offer her colleagues.
From her 1irst-hand expe-
rience, she learned: 1--WE don't
just cover a story. We tell the
newsmakers how to run it.
And the press agents how to
set 1t up. Then, we sit back
and tell the world what was
wrong with the way it was
done-or worse than that. we
flnd an excuse not to write
about it after ALL"
At one point. she admitted,
she found herself saying: II
just hate newspaper report
ers"-a statement that Sena-
tor johnson kept quoting
back to me with great glee-
and to my horror!"
She also predicted that
women who have been shying
away from covering a worn-
ans story are going to lose
out if they aren't careful.
Believe me, our male COL
leagues are waking up to it
(the woman's, story)," she
said. I'VE met them all along
the way-and they landed us

Mrs. Lyndon Johnson was
hailed last night as the
greatest invention for
newspaperwomen since the
typewriter" because Of her
willingness to cooperate
under all kinds Of hectic
circumstances"
The tribute came from
Elizabeth Carpenter, the
newswoman who acted as
Mrs. Johnson's campaign
press secretary, in q report
on her campaign experiences
before the Women's National
Press Club.
The wife Of the Vice
President elect was inter-
viewed everywhere from mo-
torcades to the bathroom
mirror, according to Mrs.
Carpenter, who said that the
latter interview took place In
Kansas City when Mrs.
johnson had only Is min
utes from arrival time to get
ready for dinner with the
TrumanS.
A girl from the Kansas City
Star was trying to make a
deadline, Mrs. Carpenter re-
called, $50 Lady Bird had me

I love garnets.

l love garnetS.
Maybe that is the reason why
I like the heavy seedheads of
viburnum dilatatum for ar
ranging in tall. These glowing
garnet red seeds range from
bright red to deeply saturated
shades, depending on their
state of maturity. Since they
remain ON the bushes for a
long time. I can take SOME of
this splendor after the frosts
have tinted the coarse toothed
foliage to orange and red.
Even though a bush produces
abundantly, we need only very
few clusters for an arrange
ment which will fill our eyes
with beauty.
Most decidious leaves are by
now brushed off by the swirling
winds and many bushes show
their strong basic structures
ornamented only by the deli
cate penwork of their
branches and twigs. I look
for a container which captures
m its airy, fIligreed structure
the essence of this particular
trait of autumn.
A blackened old wire basket,
once used for washing brittle
lettuce leaves. serves as an en-

chanting container for the
clustered, glowing garnets.
Since we need water to main
tain cut plant material, We
must provide it without dis
turbing our transparent struc-
ture. A so-called cup holder" :"
painted fiat black, is put into
the bottom of the basket. where
it offers both a cupful of water
and anchorage.
The tallest branch of
viburnum goes almost vertically
into this basket, but strictly to
the left side. where the well
formed handle emerges from
the rim. A large cluster of
berries terminates this branch,
arches slightly and in pleasing
rhythm with this handle. A
piece of twlstum is a good
mechanical device to hold this
high cluster securely in place.
Tie it low on the handle so that
it cannot show. .
Once again to the left. but
freely swinging into open space
we fasten secondary branch
with a cluster of deeper red
viburnum.
With an additional branch
we can do something which we
cannot do with other contain
ers. It will be sheer pleasure to
choose a beautiful rich cluster
of berries and place it directly
through the wall of the con-
tainer onto the holder. This
last placement establishes an
interesting foreground, but IL
also becomes an airy and in
tegrated part Of the container.
Our eyes can enjoysthiS love-
ly, garnet red cluster of seeds
and at the same instant en-
compass the delicate wiry struc-
ture of the container.
Now we look at it, into it and
through it and we have the
aesthetic pleasure of encoun-
tering form and color as well as
rich texture and precise pat
tern in a truly three dimension
al unit. AS our eyes wander
from group to interesting group.
we become aware of the con-
sistent recurrence OF curvllinear
patterns.
Grass clippings, scattered by
the power mower into a shell
tered corner, had blanketed two
dark red, soiidly round da ahllas.
These lucky survivors OF cold
and early snow lend their light
green leaves and stems for a
spicy contrast.
AS warm and lovely as an
autumn fire, l will bet this ar
rangement can make you feel
brimful with peaceful happi-
ness.

How to Protect Plants
By Building Shelters
By w. H. (BILL) YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

Star Garden Editor
We have discussed the prob
lens incident to carrying our
shrubs and plants through the
winter without undue injury.
the importance of sanitation,
mulching and other chores that
might well be taken care Of
now,
There Is still one major ac-
tivity for some-erecting shell
ters and screens to protect the
plants from winter winds and
sun.
Undoubtedly this seems to be
more concrete than the others
and will appeal to those who
want to do something. Here
again, we must caution against
putting up any shelters before
/ the plants are dormant. Wheth-
er it be a fence to cut of winter
winds or a screen to shut out
the suns rays. we should not be
in too big a hurry to put them
in place. Even the use Of the
latex sprays might well be de-
layed until cold weather is
closer at hand.
Heavier Wood Frames
Mention has been made of a
simple burlap screen - three
stakes driven solidly into the
ground on the south side of
, the shrub to which is tackled a
piece of burlap. There should
be an air space between the
burlap and the tips of the
branches. For taller plants this
same type Of screen may be
built of fence posts or poles.
They should be firmly driven
into the ground if they are to
withstand winter winds.
For beds and hedges burlap
Is not as practical as is the
snow fence. The snow fence is
a woven wire. slat arrangement
that breaks the wind and also
is rather effective in cutting of
the suns warmth. However, it
must be supported by stout
posts or stakes well set into
the ground The advantage Of
the snow fence is that 1t may
be put up late in the fall and
taken down. rolled up and
stored for the summer much
easier than most kinds Of
screens. A snow fence is most
helpful where beds and borders
are exposed to strong winds and
that includes rose beds.
Slat Frames
Slat frames are frequently !
employed 10 protecC DoXWooo,
rhododendrons. and other fine |
broad-leaved evergreens. They
are particularly useful where
such plants are in the founda-
tion planting and should be |
protected from snowslides.
