One of the most appalling
and depressing things is the
absolutely idiotic taste of the
average teenager today who
spends astronomical sums of
hard-earned money ON junk
records ---.- rock-and-roll and
rockabilly stuff some people
have the nerve to call music.
However, the junk records
pay well, and as long as they
do record companies are going
to keep producing them by
"discovering' more Fabians,
Gene Vincents, Paul Ankas,
and the sensational overnight
quartets that spring up mostly
in the New York and Chicago
neighborhoods. It's just a mat
ter of time before the kids
dump the monotony Of the big
and heavy beat, the childish
lyrics, and weird person
alities," and yield to the cry
for some good new popular
music from the vast adult mar
ket that will not settle for pap
and garbage.
The record business is bigger
than ever, with over $410
million in sales last year.
Happily enough, rock-and-roll
counted for only about 25 per-
cent of all record sales.
Despite the fact that the
Modern Jazz Quartet is almost
ten years old, it has never be-
fore permitted the release of
a recording made at a concert
appearance. Now, Atlantic Re
cords has released a recording
classic: The Modern Jazz
Quartet 49, European Tour
set of two records available in
stereo for $11.95 and monau-
raj for $9.98. The Is selec-
tions on these two lp's were
taped in Europe at a concert
that was so nearly perfect that
it would have been crime
not to release them.
RECOMMENDED: Good jazz
flows aplenty and record buy
ers will have practically no
difficulty finding what they
like. But good blues, though
not rare, is not SO available
Here then are a few lp's that
might be enjoyed: Blues and
Ballads by Lonnie Johnson,
Prestige; Blind Gary Davis.
Harlem Street Singer, on Pres
tige; Otis Spann is the Blues,
on Candid; and the Blues Mes
sage by Curtis Amy and Paul

We could have pink ones in our

they will get lots of moisture.

However, the bulbs should be
lifted from the garden and dried

it to turn yellow. Hyacinths

Usually we take the average
size of most objects for
granted. We know that there
are variations in the size of
the fruit we buy at the grocery
store and, if the price is equal,
we choose the slightly bigger
one. Most of out flower con-
tainers are of average size, to
fit the average table in an
average house. We are SO used
to this conformity to the aver
age that we hardly notice how
too perfect the fit is. Only if
we encounter a cozy chair
which is much too big for the
area do we suddenly realize
that the big brute gives the
whole room atmosphere.
The same is true when we
see a very small edition of an
object. Its very size brings it
to our attention, because it
skaters the monotony of the
average.
Here is a little sedum cape
blanco with it's neatly sculp-
tured roSettes. Clearly defined,
fleShy leaves gradate into a

The very fact that these ro-
settes are so little and so
densely packed into m a S
makes everyone stop and take
a second look. Their soft gray
green color make me look for
an old bronze container, the
patina of which would repeat
this color in another medium.
I am not an expert. but this
old vase with its thin walls
and renaissance flair makes
me think it must be quite
genuinely old. What luck that
it is only five inches tall and
relates in perfect scale to the
plant material.
The other elements are also
chosen for small size. The

In many sections where
heavy SHOWS prevailed last
winter, the home gardener will
experience even greater prob
lens than usual with chick
weed. This winter annual,
known as common chickweed
CStellaria medal has smooth
pointed leaves and can grow
under the snow. With the onset
of warmer temperatures, chick
weed may spread more this
year than in an open winter.
Once the grass starts grow

rid of this competitive weed
without delay. You waste valu-

instead of killing them. Chick

Where chickweed has spread

1t is surprising how many
bulbs and shrubs that come as
potted Easter plants stay to
give new pleasure each season.
Of course, they do not flower at
Easter time but they do blossom
in the spring and remind the
gardener of the giver's kind
ness.
Most of the potted Easter
plants should be kept growing
vigorously until it is warm
enough to plant them in the
garden. This means watering
and keeping them growing in a
sunny situation. The cooler
the situation, however, the
sooner they may be ready for
the garden.
Only the potted tulips are of
doubtful value, because the
bulbs do not rebuild as quickly
and easily as do the daffodils.
Cinerarias, calceolarias. and
similar potted ANIMALS are of no
further value. The azaleas. in
most cases, are hardy enough
for garden use. but there are
some forced varieties that are
too tender-there is no general
rule by which they may be diff
ferentiated. The potted Easter
lilies might we'll be slipped out
of the pot and planted as soon
as the blossoms fade. The daft
fodils, also should be removed
from the pot and planted, US
ually 3 or 4 inches deeper than
they grew in the pot.
The potted chrysanthemums
are seldom of permanent value
in the garden because too many
of the varieties flower so late
in the fall that they are hurt
by freezes. However, it is pos
sible to grow them in the garden
and repot in the fall for duty
on the porch. Usually they
should be divided when planting
in the garden.
The hydrangeas are familiar
to all. They are the commonly
grown blue. The difference ir

A few branches of forced

for a few precautionary measures
to safeguard your home while you

Here is a checklist of tips for
vacationing homeowners:
Lock all doors and windows.

Protect furniture against light

a good time to send carpets out
for cleaning; furniture out for re-
upholstery.
Stop deliveries of anything you
received on a regular basis; milk,
etc.
If you will be gone for any
length of time, empty, defrost and
clean refrigerator and freezer and
leave doors ajar.
Remove accumulations of cid

to ask the post office to hold all

1t is wise when possible to leave
house key and a copy of your itin-

a relative, neighbor or profes.
sional 'house watcher" available
in most areas of the country.
This person should inspect the
house regularly, take care Of
chores such as watering house
plants, taking in mail and forward
ing it if desired, running auto en-
gines to keep battery charged, and
keep an eye on things in general.
Finally, notify police in the
neighborhood that you will be away
so that they will be on the alert
for anything unusual about the
house. If someone will be dropping
in to look after things. be sure to
give his name to police to avoid
possible embarrassment.

Dear AL:
On a front page story of q is
sues ago. you mentioned that
the Youth Council in Okla. City
was organized in 1857. This is in
error. In the late forties and early
fifties while still a student was
assistant director under Miss Lu-
la Mae Carter, now of California
and finally director of the Youth
Council and member of the Board.
It was through this membership
that many of us were inspired to
force travel integratiOn in the
Southwest and to subsequently fol-
low Miss Sipuel's lead in the in
tegration of the University of Okla
hOma.
