Pink Almond

From Mrs. C. j. s.. 1924
Ruskin street. Springfield. Va
The branches of my pink al
mond are dying, one by one
although we sprayed with
Maneb? When and how should
and old-fashioned hydrangea
be pruned so that the heavy
blossoms would not bend the
stems to the ground? Answer -
The leaves of the almond show
little insect injury and there
are no signs Of disease. Sug-
gest you check the drainage

Brittle Leaves

From Mrs. j. G., l708 Ar
cola avenue. Silver Spring, Md
What is wrong with the
leaves on my azalea, they are
brown and brittle? Answer -
They are badly injured by the
lacefly and red spider mites.
1t is quite likely the plant is
so badly weakened that it can
not survive the winter. You
might try, however. spraying
with malathion Il teaspoonful
to the quart of water rs per
cent emulsion) Wet the under
sides of the leaves three times
at weekly intervals.

Blue Hydruneeus

From Mrs. A. E. G.. 427 N.
Granada street. Arlington, Va.
I have two healthy looking
hydrangea plants that do not
bloom, although the soil is
acid. Can you suggest some
thing which will make them
bloom? Answer 1t is assumed
that you refer to the blue
hydrangeas which do best in
shade, which delays the flower
: ing until much of the danger
of a late frost killing the
flower buds. Also. in sade
Evening star., 1961-10-06

after q shower? Also, examine
the base of the bush for signs
Of injury that might affect the
sap flow? Usually the more such
a hydrangea is pruned the
larger the flowers and the more
they hang down. This pruning
is usually done in the spring
Just before the new shoots ap-
pear. You might try using wood
ashes "a source of potash) to
stiffen the wood. but doubt if
this will be of much help. Tying
the Towering shoots to a CEN
tral stake might help.

AzuIeos

From A. B., 803 Malcolm
drive, Silver Spring. Md.-Our
azaleaS have been dying, one
after another. The leaves turn
down 90 and become brown,
then the plants die. Answer
1t would appear from the turn
ing down, that the leaves are
whiting which would indicate
something wrong in the soil
or stoppage of the sap. This
checks with the leaves en-
cloSed-they show no signs of
insect injury or disease. Sug-
geSt you check the drainage
making certain that the plants
do not have wet feet following
a heavy rain. Also. examine
the stems near the ground to
to see if there are signs of
bark splitting where disease
might enter. If these are mega
tive, suggest you try soaking
the soil about each plant with
a quart of a bichloride of
mercury solution l to 1000.

Self Diagnosis Is Risky!

At last I went to get the

I don't have coronary disease.
My trouble was caused by

Since I have been watching

sleeping with two pillows

not had any chest pain at all.

Dear DIR. Steincrohn: l had
an ulcer operation three years
ago. About 10 per cent of my
stomach was removed. But
l haven't been at all COM
Portable. My doctor tells me
I have what is called the
dumping syndrome." The
way he explains it, food emp
ties from my stomach too fast.
Is there anything I can do
about it? Sincerely Mr.. T.
TOO MANY ulcer patients
are not careful with their
medical treatment because
they think, We'll, if this
doesn't work. I can always
rely on operation to cure the
darn things"
l keep telling them to give
medical treatment a good
chance because even opera
ton isn't always a cure-all.
It's true that many ulcer pa
tients are helped by operation.
But bear in mind that there
are some who suffer such dis.
tressing after-effects as the
dumping syndrome.
Treatment consists of fire.
quent small feelings high in
protein. eaten when lying
down or semirecumbent. Sed-
atives, tranquilizers and an
tacids play a part. If these
don't help. it is sometimes
necessary to operate again.

Morrie Edwards and Byron
Flynn were spending a quiet
evening fishing near the Ed

they suddenly became aware of
the wild beast stalking through
the rocks and brush on the
shore above them, screaming
his characteristic and awful
howl.
The boys sat back-to-back on
the rock, hunting knives at the
ready, and called for help at
the top of their lungs. After a
dark and eternal 45 minutes,
neighbor Tom Small arrived,
scared away the cat with a shot,
and the boys scampered home.

more than one? There have

be distributed under the form

THE FRENCH theologian,
author and Scripture scholar,
stressed that religion must not
be separated from ordinary
life"
He told an audience at
Granville Community College
here:
ut is essential for us to
see no separation between re-
ligious and ordinary life, be-
cause all life is related to
the designs of God"
Father Danielou added: ct
is precisely the proper task of
the laity to introduce into or.
binary life the values of faith,
Of worship, Of grace -. to in
troduce these into married
life, into social and economic
life, into political and inter-
national life"
Separating ones religious
life from ones ordinary life is
"a great mistake" he said,
and results in the failure of
religion to influence the Sec
ular world.
MANKIND is ONE in the
design of Cod" he said. ut
is the same man who is en-
gagged simultaneously in secu-
lar history and in religious
