them has much to do with
the intellectual and emotional
response we hope to get out
OF art itself. Transposed
from cutlery and pharmaceu-
tlcalS, and into art, design
strikes us as the imposition
OF a pattern on the raw ma
terials Of life and paint. Par
ticularly in American paint
ing OF the l950s. design seems
a chill intruder in the mad
der music and the stronger
wine Of semi-conscious paint
ing.
The Indian work at How
ard provides a reminder that
design is not something i'm
posed upon something else,
not the work of the calcu-
lating intelligence creating a
framework for the surging
life of the raw emotions. On
the contrary, these modest
works instruct us, art is the
product of the unified &C
ton Of hand, eye, brain and
feelings all operating as one.
The work on view is
focused on the ancient In
dian customs that still sur
vive in the Southwest United
States. Hence, there are ac-
curate presentations of cos
tunes and especially of
dances for the several pur-
poses of thanksgiving, in
vocation and petition. The
typical picture in the show
poses group of Indians en-
gagged in dance ritual. The
student could learn from the
works in the fields of
ethnology, dance, costume
design and folklore. In all
the works. however, there is
an overall sense of visual
design more compelling and
of more ultimate value than
all the scholarship.
The paintings are almost
all in Watercolor and it is
not Watercolor used as Amer
lean tradition has developed
the medium. There is little
concern for the "act of paint
ing"-which was a staple in
water color for decades be-
fore it became the be-all and
end-all of New York type art.
The act of painting is ruth
lessly suppressed in favor of
accurate presentation, but
accurate presentation itself
is suppressed in favor of
clear, strong, design. T he
figures in a dance group are
rearranged in a flat order so
that the viewer receives some
feeling of the movement of
the dance as we'll as of the
look of it.
For example, in one dance
scene, the figures are circling
round a fire in the night.
The eye naturally reads"
the painting from left to
right; as it does so, an i'm
preston comes through that
you are watching both the
whole group and the sue
cessive movements of an in
dividual participant.
Again, a painter named
Solomon McCombs has a
drawing of a Greek Stick
Ball Came" a sport ap-
parently combining the fea-
lures of football, field hockey
and free-Style head-smash-
ing. The figures are as ar
tificially arranged as those
on a Greek vase, coming in
from both sides to a climax
in the center and conveying,
through this arrangement,
not only the different stages
Of action in the game, but
the distinct feeling of the
rhythm of the sport.
The Indian artists SEEM
ingly adopt the strong
rhythms of their tribal life
into art as a matter of
course. Painting on paper
goes back to the early years
Of this century. when it was
substituted for the former
painting on buffalo hides.
The American realist, John
Sloan, was one of the first
American artists to recognize
the value of Indian art, ex-
hibiting it in New York in
1920. On the basis of the
show at Howard. the present
state of Indian art is
flouriShing.

Big Trees From
Little Acorns'
Requires Care

big trees from little acorns
grow" but not without loving
care, according to George Va
paa, Kent county agent. Trees
and shrubs require a certain
amount of care and considera-
tion if they're to thrive. 1t all
starts with proper planting tech
niques, he says, and involves
pruning, stalking, mulching, fer
tilizing, and a few more good
practices.
Mr.. Vapaa lists these steps
to insure the success of your
little acorns."
Plant when the soil isn't
frozen or too wet-any time
between now and next April is
all right. Container plants can
go out any time-even in the
summer.
Dig holes six inches deeper
and IL inches wider than nee
essary to accommodate the ball
of soil or roots of the plant.
Set the plant the same depth
that it grew originally. Shallow
rooted plants are exceptions.
Plant them slightly more shall
low to allow for settling.
| Water thoroughly. Shape
the soil to make a saucer-shap-
ed area around the plant. Wat
er thoroughly once week five
to ten gallons), during dry
weather for at least the first
two growing seasons.
-Prune back the plant often,
as much as one-third to one
half. Roots are lost in digging
and the plant should be balanc-
ed by removing some of the
top. Chinese holly and pyra-
cantha particularly should be
cut back rather heavily since
they are difficult to transplant.
Boxwood and azaIeas, on the
other hand, need little pruning
because of their compact root
system.
Mulch to conserve moisture,
to prevent soil from packing
and to help keep down grass
and weeds. Three to four inch
es of pine, straw or other coarse
materials makes an ideal mulch.
Stake trees that are more
than about five feet high. Use
a wire threaded through a gar
den hose or soft cord to tie the
| tree to the stake.
Wrap the trunk if trees are
more than about six feet high.
This will give some protection
from the sun and borers. Use
burlap strips or special water
proof paper.

VFW Encampment
To Be Held at
RehobOth Beach

Officers of the states largest
veterans organization, the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, appar-
emily have confidence in the
ability of the merchants and
other citizens of Delaware's
storm devastated coastal resort
area to bounce back" and be
ready for business by mid-June.
Anyhow, the Council of Admin
istration of the Department of
Delaware, meeting at Dover on
March twelfth, re-affirmed an
earlier decision to hold the 1862
encampment of the overseas
veterans organization at Reho-
both Beach.
In announcing that the De-
partment will stand by its desi-
sion to hold its 32d annual en-
campment at Rehoboth Beach,
June 1916, State Commander
Allen ]. Wentz pointed out that
his organization is fully aware
that as a result of the havoc
wreaked by the storm of March
Sc, Rehoboth Beach will not be
able to offer all of the excellent
facilities that up until then were
part of the Rehoboth scene. The
veterans leader then went on to
advise that his organization, felt
that the least damaged facilities
of the resort area would un-
doubtedly be quickly repaired
and that these would be ade-
quate to the housing needs of
the veterans.
Commander Wentz also point
ed out that having the VIEW.
convention at Rehoboth Beach
in the early part of the 1862
season would help the economy
of the area by making addition
al dollars available to help Off
set some of those lost as a re-
suit of storm damage.
Up until recent years the Del
aware VIEW. rotated its an
nual convention among various
communities. Beginning in 1859,
the annual conventions-or en-
campments-have been held in
Rehoboth Beach, annually bring
ing to the Atlantic Coast resort
its largest convention gathering.

spears. It's loa d ed With
vitamin A, high in thiamine,
riboflavin and vitamin c, and
rich in calcium and iron.
And, in addition, has a de-
lightful flavor.
Asparagus is believed native
to the Mediterranean and
Asia Minor but it has been
found growing wild in so
many places that it's queS-
tionable as to where it actu-
ally did originate.
Before it was used as a
food, it was highly regarded
as a medicine for almost any
thing from the prevention Of
bee stings to heart trouble,
dropsy and toothache.
It was popular among the
Romans as far back as 200
B. c. when Cato gave detailed
instructions for growing the
vegetable. 1t was not only
eaten "in season" but the
Romans dried the shoots for
use "out of season" Prepa-
alton was considered so sim
pie that Emperor Augustus is
supposed to have originated a
saying quicker than you can
cook asparagus"
When buying asparagus
look for the tender, firm
stalks with closed tips. The
whole stalk with the excep-
ton Of an inch or two at the
base should be tender. The
small amount of white at the
base helps to preserve mois-
ture in the green part. Once
you get it home it should
be refrigerated as soon as
possible.
To prepare asparagus for
cooking, cut or break off each
stalk as far down as it snaps
easily. Remove scales with a
knife, then wash thoroughly.
To cook whole stalks in
upright position, tie bundles
of 5 or 6 stalks with a string.
Stand upright in the bottom
part Of a double boiler.
Pour in l to u inches boiling
water. Cover with top part
Of the double boiler, inverted.
Boil Is to 20 minutes or until
just crisp-tender. Lift out

To cook in skillet, place
asparagus in two layers in a
large skillet or saucepan.
Sprinkle with salt; pour on
boiling water to a depth Of
l inch. Cover. Boil IL to Is

Woman Doctor
 Blocks Marketing Of Defective Drug

WASHINGTON R A skeptical woman doctor kept off the Ameri- can market drug ultimately blamed for thousands of birth mal- formations in Europe.
 How and why Dr. Frances Old ham Kelsey, Food and Drug Ad- ministration officer blocked a mar keting license here for Thalio- domide were detailed Sunday by the Washington Post.
 Here is the Posts account.
 In September 1860, Dr. Kelsey received from the William S. Nor rell Go. of Cincinnati request for permission to market the sedative in the United States under the name Kevadon.
 The drug was being sold in Can ada, pr. Kelsey's native country, and in Europe with no harmful side effects involved. Still, the 47- year-old medical officer regarded it's safety as improved.
 For the next year she kept de- clining to license the drug.
 In November 1961,Z the firm heard from Europe that Thalido- mide had been linked with mal- formations in babies born to women who had used it when pregnant. The Merrell Company reported this promptly to Dr. Kel- sey and withdrew it's application
 Subsequent investigations, parti- cularly in West Germany, estab- lished a link between the drug and phocomelia, malformation that usually deprives its victims of one arm, leaving rudimentary fingers arising from stub be- low the shoulder.
 It is estimated that by the end of next month the total of de formed children born in West Ger many will be $500 to 5000.
 halidomide-under it's various trade names-noW has been gen. erally withdrawn from the market.
 Dr. Kelsey was quoted as say ing she thought it was "a peculiar drug" and turned down repeated requests to license it.

MONKEYS AND HAMSTERS DIE IN CAPSULES DURING COSMIC RAY TESTS

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. R = Two monkeys and four hamsters exposed to cosmic rays were re- ported found dead after their cap sule was parachuted into dense bush country from high-fying US. research balloon Sunday.
 The report came from a heli- copter crew that visited the site a few hours after the cluster of three capsules was released. There was no immedite word on the cause of death of the animals.
 The experiment was to test the effects of 50 per cent exposure to the radiation that man is expected to encounter in future journeys into space.
 Flower beetles, which are ex- tremely sensitive to cosmic radi- ation, also went in a separate cap- sule on the 1,800-mile ride at alti- tudes of up to 131 ,O0O feet across the North American continent that began Saturday.
 First reports from the wilder ness area where the capsules fell did not mention the insects fate. A third capsule carried instru- ments.

TROUBLE ON THE RED FRONTIER

TOKYO tR = Red China today accused India of most fanatic az gressive activities and charged a string of three new Indian outposts has been set up in the disputed frontier area of Ladakh.
 'The Indian side will make a fatal mistake if it should think that China is flabby and can be bullied," said Peiping broadcast of a new note handed to the h. dian embassy today.
 New Delhi military sources said the Chinese withdrew to distance of a little more than 200 yards from the post late last week after having approached to within 15 yards at places. India claims the post is 10 miles west of even the boundary claimed by Red China. Peiping claimed it was 10 miles inside Red China.

 The local attorney went on to propose that the attorney general be elected by the people and fur ther that the justices of the sup reme court and judges of the sup erior court be elected on non- partisan basis, thus providing a safeguard for the individual rights of our people, and also an effec- tive check and balance system, pro. viding for an adequate separation of our law enforcement and judi ciary from the administrative branch of government.

WIDOW OF AIR #SECTY TALBOTT SUICIDES

NEW YORK R-Margaret Tal- bolt. socialite widow of Harold E.. Talbott, Secretary of the Air Force in the Eisenhower administration, plunged 12 stories to her death Sunday from a bedroom window of her Manhattan apartment
 Mrs. Talbott, 62, left five notes, police said. Four were addressed to servants. The fifth, apparently to her family, told them of her continuing depression over the death of her husband five years ago.
 Talbott, 68, died March 2, 1857, in Palm Beach, Fla, of a cerebral hemorrhage. He served as A r Force Secretary under President Eisenhower from 1853 to 1855, when he resigned following a Sen ate probe into his private business affairs.
 Mrs. Talbott's body, clad in neg ligee and a house coat, was found in a rear courtyard shortly after dawn. A maid in an adjoining building had heard the impact and called police.

X15 TESTS SKIP-GLIDE RETURN TO EARTH

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calf tR-X15 pilot Joe Walker streaked aloft today at more than five times the speed of sound, then skip glided back to earth in a series of roller-coaster dips return ing spacecraft someday may copy.
 The powerful little rocket plane ordinarily comes in from space in a long shallow glide, but Walker was experimenting with methods of braking descent speeds.
 After streaking to an estimated altitude of 1O5,OOO feet at speeds up to about 3,7000 mph, the vet eran Space Agency pilot nosed over for series of seven down the-stairs hops
 In the final two of these man euvers, Walker slowed his speed from 2,200 mph to HOO mph ir 51 seconds. The upcoming Dyna. soar space glider is expected te use similar maneuvers in return ing from orbit.
