CULTURE GAP WDENs
Varied Views Flow Sans Resolution

DR.. Paz raised the objection
that "in all our talks it's been
science as physics and math.
But science is psychology, an
thropology it is a lot of
things. You cannot read
Eliot's "Wasteland" without
some knowledge of anthro-
pology."
The use of "undigestive
Jumps and scientific words"
as a chic thing to do in
present day conversations was
slammed by all.
Lady Snow (Novelist Pamela
Hansford Johnson) said, 1--WE
never heard so many uses OF
the word polarization in my
life, for example. However, I
think we should try to under
stand the world we live in, not
duck out of it,"
Some thought was given to
the prestige of the artist in
this chronological world.

Hungarian Poet Thor Tollas
said, II have always the feel

bull session.
Afterwards, Mexican poet
and Minister to France Octavio
Paz said there was not only a
gap between science and the
arts but a division within the
specialization of arts.
And among the scientist
there was disagreement: Scien-

ible way to peace.
DR.. Urey, who offered the
gloomy statistic that there would
be at least so per cent casualty

about the arts in his lecture.
With some discomfort to a
few poets, there was general
agreement that there should
be more of a merger of sciences
and humanities in educational

Watermelon Season
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

BY GEORGE KENNEDY
Going home the other
night, The Rambler saw flags
playing in the breeze at a
little take-it- t h m e curb
stand.
And why not?
A sign announced that ice
cold watermelon was again
on sale.
Just think of that! Water
melon in April. And iced.
1t wasn't like that in the
old days. The watermelon
season started in July and
was over by September.
The melons, for the most
part, came up river on the
small steamers.
There was always a glut.
When the melons ripened
there were too many for the
transportation system. Every
steamboat landing along the
lower Potomac would be
crowded with drayS loaded
with watermelonS and drawn
by yokeS of oxen.
Those that got there first
were the lucky ones. The
others plodded back home.
They had large families, but
not large enough to eat all
those watermelons.
The curbStand was we'll in
the rear when The Rambler
said, I'VE must buy some
watermelonS when we stop at
the supermarket."
The response was, very
well. But you buy it. The
price will be beyond the
budget"
She was right. The price
was 10 cents a pound. At that
rate it doesn't take a big
watermelon to tip the scales
into the dollars.
But couldn't it be worth It?

Ben leaves Fort Worth the

shortly after that for Augusta

visit with Hogan last week
while in Fort Worth on o Golf
Writers Association matter. He

he will remain In practice
through the $4,000 Colonial
