In the Russian tradition, the
little Leningrad boy pressed to
the front of the hall to honor
the artist he admired.
He was about 10 years old,'
recalls Byron Janis. the sec
ond American pianist to make
a hit in Russia since World
War II. Van Cliburn was the
first.
He brought me something
wrapped in silver paper and
handed it up over the apron Of
the stage.
1T turned out to be a choco-
late"
Many Gifts Received
. The boys gift, one Of many
offered to the artist as concerts
ended in Russia, symbolizes for
Mr.. Janis the thing that i'm
pressed him most about his
tour:
The tremendous warmth
and sincerity of audiences be-
fore which I played"

:. Asks About
The Three Wise Men
By GEORGE KENNEDY


The Christmas tree came
down yesterday.
That was always sad max
ing when we were children.
And it isn't too cheerful a
moment today.
It meant and it means that
the incredible period of holi-
4, days is over.
Then school loomed; now
work.
Both can be enjoyable, but
they can't compare with
Christmas holidays.
When The Rambler was a
child, we never took the tree
down until after Epiphany
or Twelfth night.
In fact, we never added the
figures of the Three Kings to
the shepherds standing or
kneeling about the manger
until the date of that neg
lected feast, January 6.
BY that time the space
under the tree, which had
been swept every day, was
covered with needles.
This years tree is alumni
mum leaf. Each frond is re-
moved separately from the
hole in the trunk into which
it was inserted Christmas
eve. Then each frond is care
fully slipped, stem first, into
a long paper container. They
are now all IN a box in a
closet.
No needles.
Things are kaleideoscoped
today. The Magi arrive with
the shepherds and one week
is enough for a tree even If it
doesn't shed needles.
In Italy and some other
European countries to this
day the children don't get
their presents until January
sixth. They have to wait
until the Christ child gets his
presents, gold, frankinsence
and myrrh, from the three
Wise Men.

THE STORY IS TOLD by
st.. Matthew in his second
chapter and not elsewhere in
the Synoptic Gospels: How
IN the days of Herod the
king, three wise men from
the East came to Jerusalem
and asked, Where is He that
is born King of the Jews?"
And Herod was troubled.
How the star guided them
to Bethlehem. where they
saw the child, worshipped
him and presented their
gifts. How the angels warm
ing led to the flight to Egypt
just before the slaughter Of
the innocents, two favorite
subjects of medieval artists.
How did the three Wise
Men get their names? st.
Matthew doesn't mention
them by name. But every
quiz kid knows their names
are Gaspar, Balthazar and
Melchior.
The Rambler consulted the
Encyclopedia Britannica and
was enlightened in another
erection. Epiphany was one
r: the two great feasts of the
-iy church. The other was
Christmas; it was Easter.

Discarded Crop
Sproy Cans Pose
Poison Huzurd

Empty pesticide containers pose
a health hazard, particularly to
children, in agricultural areas, ac-
cording to publication of the A
merican Medical association.
An article in the current Now
ANA Archives of Environmental
Health points out the danger of
empty sacks, drums or glass con-
tainers, which actually may con-
tain sufficient chemical residue to
kill a child or adult, and suggests
ways to reduce this hazard.
The article was written by Ho-
mer R. Wolfe, B.S.; William F..
Durham, Ph.D.; Kenneth c. Walk
er, BS., and John F. Armstrong,
BIS, Technology Branch, Com
municable Disease Center, Public
Health Service, WenatcIhee, Wash,
who conducted a study of orchards
in north-central Washington state
The major health hazards of dis
carded pesticide containers appear
ed to be associated with exposure
of workers to the smoke from
burning paper bag containers and
with exposure of children to resi-
ual pesticide left in discarded con-
tainers, the authors said.
The most hazardous containers
are those which have held one of
the more toxic organic phosphorus
compounds such as parathion, they
said This chemical is commonly
sold in the Pacific Northwest as a
powder in paper bags or as a
liquid in five-gallon metal drums,
they said.
Observations indicate that paper
bag containers, being easy to burn,
are destroyed at regular intervals
during crop spraying and busting
operations or Immediately after
the operation is completed, the
authors said However, they said,
very few of the persons who burn
the sacks make any special effort
to avoid breathing the m o e,
which contains a significantly
higher amount of parathiOn than
is found in the air during spraying.
On the other hand, metal and
glass containers, being more diff
cult to destroy, usually yaccumu-
late until there is time to dispose
of them, they said.
If glass containers are left un-
broken in the orchard or on the
farm, the authors warned, they
may become particularly hazard
GUS, especially if the poison warn
ing label has been lost.
Orchard laborers often collect
One-gallon glass jugs for use as
containers for drinking water"
they said.

In one instance, they said, a
jug was found containing a chem
ioal solution which probably could
have killed an average adult if ta-
ken orally.
Farmers and itinerant workers
also may reuse empty five-gallon
drums, they said, and if the labels
have been lost, they may be un-
aware that the drums have con-
tanned poisons.
The researchers also found that
the spray machine operators who
rinse empty pesticide drums do SO
only once and then only with a
small amount of water.
If spray operators are not able
to destroy metal containers soon
after use, the authors urged that
they rinse the containers more
thoroughly as soon as they are
emptied.
Tests showed that two thorough
rinSings of the drums removed al
most 80 per cent of the total re-
movable parathion. they said, add
ing:
Educating operators to tn is
practice may not be particularly
difficult if they are led to realize
that the mere use of an adequate
amount. of rinse water and the
completion of two rinsings would
mean the difference between leav-
ing a hazardous container and
leaving one in which it would be
difficult for children to find e.
nough residual toxic pesticide to
cause much harm"
In addition, the drums should
eventually be made unusable and
destroyed by crushing and bury
ing them, they said.

Cameron without food. Many
may have drowned.
Officials said the rains were
running sugar cane and corn
crops. They said growers may
be able to rescue some damaged
crops, but only at the heavier
expense of hand labor.
The rains Slackened by
nightfall yesterday, and tides
were expected to continue
dropping throughout the day.
Water ruin was everywhere,
but the only damage to build
ings by the direct winds and
rains of Carla we're at Holly

Cameron. At least half the
buildings were reporte d

broken open. with furnishings
floating in the street.
Ten TOrnadOes Counted
However, tornado winds
spawning from Carla's frontal
squall lines lashed out at
Southwestern Louisiana.
In two days at least 10 tor
nadoes were confirmed, seven
touching down and causing
minor damage in some towns
and running more than $50
homes at Kaplan. Others we're
reported hop-scotching around
the countryside.
Tidal waters, which rose to
nearly 10 feet above normal in
spots but were mostly recorded
near 6 feet above normal,
brought threats of disease and
unsanitary conditions for the
next few days.
All roads into Cameron and
the Southwest Louisiana low
lands are impossible. The refu-
gees heading home today must
travel by boat.
DR.. Guillemo Vasquez, Cam

director, said only water
brought in from outside the
area was safe to use. The drill

town.
DR.. Vasquez said that until
all wells covered with flood
waters are checked, typhoid,
infectious hepatitis and sal

danger.
Sanitarians prepared to
check the water supplies as
soon as possible. Federal Food
