The disposition of light and
dark, black and white or the
clear and the obscure areas
within a picture is known by
the term chiaroscuro. Literally
translated this means light and
shade. Thanks to our planets
fixed assignment within our
galaxy, this phenomenon
permeates every phase of our
life and, to a degree, every
human being is aware of it
But, the most sensitive within
the human race, the artists
the poets, the dreamers and
philosophers find themselves
ruled by the degrees of the
clear and the obscure and theiI
communication Of this beauty
is what we call their works
Far be it from me to as
sumo any comparison of these
illustriouS with the humble
creative aspects of one who
gathers flowers and establishe;
them within a new environ
ment and in a different order
But, in a sense, the arranger
too may often feel like the poet
or the painter or a sculptor
dealing in a most fragile
medium. Some people cal
flower arrangement an art
others claim it is a craft. Tc

From Miss F. L. H, 314 Hill
moor drive, Silver Spring, Md.
Where may I purchase di-
methoate in quantities smaller
than pints? Can we move aza-
leas now? Also can small dog
woods and hollies be moved in
the fall? Answer: Try Gustin's
for smaller quantities of di-
methoate. The azaleas may be
safely moved now. Suggest you
root prune the dogwoods and
hollies this fall and move them
in March or early April. When
moving holly it is we'll to re-
move all of the leaves except
the smallest tip leaves. Mulch
we'll and plant them so that
moisture drains into the plant

worlds most beautiful gifts.
Take these dazzling light
yellow marigolds which are
here combined with a new
variety of saliva which is a
deep shade of red-violet. Were
it not for the essential and
lovely green foliage, we would
register it as a sharp COM
Elementary color combination.
Light tint of zone and dark
shade Of the other. Imagine for
a moment that the background
is light. The setting would be
changed but the dominance Of
the clear would still be evi-
dent. The arranger too can
become enthralled with chiaro-
scuro. He must discover how
much Of one is necessary to
bring the other to attention.
how little is ended and what
happens If one or the other
is omitted. This can also be
expressed through flowers so
that others may enjoy it.
The flowers are contained in
a dull-toned goblet of, tin
washed copper, and are loosely
grouped into a massive area.
Some of the bright globes as
well as some of the dark spikes
reach away from the area di-
rectly above the container. The
eye instinctively returns and
wanders into the shadows on
the table and up into the main
area of attraction. Artlessly m-
constructed, it's message is one
of light al.I dark, the clear and
the obscure the measure of the
intensity the transitions and
the values of color.
I am sure that Rembrandt
has made many eyes aware of
the power of light. His palette
contained such a small amount
of bright color, yet the power
and attraction Of these areas
is phenomenal. How much or
how little? This is for each to
answer in his own way and
those who wish to do so can
attempt to make others aware
of this particular form of
beauty.

BOSTON, Feb. 19 (AP).-
The police commissioner of
Boston charged through coun-
sci today that Massachusetts,
Gov. A. Volpe's proceedings to
fire him are based on malice.
A lawyer representing Com
missioner Leo j. Sullivan, Sc.
further charged, as a removal
hearing opened. that a national
television program which trig-
gered the proceedings was "a
deliberately rugged falsehood. ="
John v. Bonner, counsel for
Mr.. Sullivan. moved for imme-
diate dismissal Of the entire
proceedings on the ground that
Republican Gov. Volpe did not
solicit the advice Of his execu-
tive council and ask the eight
Democratic members to par
ticipate.
Sullivan a Democrat
At the invitation of Gov.
Volpe, the councillors are Sit
ting in as spectators. They
must pass later on the Gov
ernor'S recommendations. Mr..
Sullivan is a former Demo-
cratic legislator.
The Governor Immediately
denied the dismissal motion
and proceeded with the hear
ing. Included in the proceeding
are charges that Mr.. Sullivan
violated laws governing awards
of contracts and also acted as
a real estate and insurance
broker while commissioner.
Mr.. Bonner attacked the CHS
television documentary, "Biog-
raphy of a Bookie Joint" as a
hoax and said one uniformed
man who appeared on the pro-
gram did so with the deliber-
act purpose of doing malicious
harm"
The program, blacked out in
Southern New England because
Of impending court actions, de-
picted Boston policemen leav-
