Donates Estimated Cost Of Fallout Shelter,
 $1,OOO, to United Nations

PAIO ALTO, Calif. R - Mrs. Wayne Elwood ST., wife of a business executive, has dossated $1 ,O00 to the United Nations. This is the amount she estimates it would have cost her to build a fallout shelter, she explained yes terday.
 Mrs. Elwood wrote a letter to JUN. acting Secretary General U Thant saying: "The family shelter plan contributes to the idea that nuclear war is inevitable, fosters the illusion that post-nuclear world would be worth living in and encourages in man the animal instinct for survival at the cost of the human principle of the brotherhood of man"

Bunny Mistaken for Bruin

Bunny Mistaken for Bruln
 RICHMOND, Va. lH = A big bear hunt within sight of this city's skyline has turned up noth- ing more than five rabbits, a few field mice and a turkey hen and gobbler and their brood of IA.
 After reliable reports indicated the sighting of 2 black bear near DeepAsater terminal within the city limits, bear hunt was quick 1y formed yesterday that included hunters and dogs from as far as 100 miles away.
 All day the men talked excited ly of guns, good and bad hounds and what it was like to hunt bear in Alaska And all day the hounds sniffed and waded. padded and paved around the terminal area.
 But at sundown the talk turned to warm rooms, dry feet and hot baths. The fact of the matter was that the bear just wasn't there.
 Richnond's big bear hunt came to an end. And nobody said much about a second one.

glossy foliage, and usefulness
in the foundation planting. The
species, I. crenata, is the taller
growing, to 8 or 10 feet, but
it may be pruned to fit almost
any situation.
The Japanese hollies seldom
produce their black fruits
which are not very conspicuous.
It is the foliage and all round
usefulness as well as freedom
from insects and disease that
make them so valuable as land
scape plants.

The Long -stalked holly little
resembles any of the above
named hollieS. The thin, apple
green leaves are without spines
and the red fruits are borne
on long stems similar to the
cherry, hence the common
name. This holly is harder anC

Hollies are associated more
with holiday decoration than
with the landScaping. Perhaps
because few people realize the
year-round landscape values of
these versatile plants.
Not only do they rate high in
landscape qualities, but they
also are available In various
sizes at maturity.
They have a considerable
range in texture; and are
adaptable to most soils. They
are easily pruned and are rel
atively free from insect and
disease problems. They do sur
priSingly well in all parts Of
the Washington area.
Because of the wide variation
n height and texture, it is quite
feasible to landscape the entire
home grounds with hoIlies ex-
cept for shade. The tough
adaptable japanese holly will
