like the one described in this
recent letter.
Dear DR.. Mason:
My son is II and will entel
senior high school next fall. He
is tall and good looking, but hi
is embarrassed because he il
entering senior high at thi'
age.
His interest in school has
become affected by the social
situation in which he finds
himself. Is there any help for
him?
Mrs. r. c., Johnson City, Tenn
In California when q boy
becomes 18 he can register in
a junior college and complete
his high school work there.
This not only makes it posi-
BILE for him to be with stu
dents his own age but it short
ems the time he needs to COM
plete his work and graduate.
Many students turn over a new
leaf when given this opportun-
ity.
You might inquire about sim
liar junior colleges in your vi
cinity.
Dear DR.. Mason:
Our son is returning to COL
lege for his sophomore year
His freshman grades were not
good. We are not happy about
the habits he has formed. The
snapshots he brought home in
June showed him solvenly in
appearance and dress.
Should we allow him to re-
turn to this environment?
r. F., Tulsa, Okla.
This is one situation in
which appearances may not be
deceiving. I have seen many
students take the same solvenly
attitude toward school work
that they do in their appear
ance.
I recall a case similar to that

Rainbow colors in the gar
den next spring depend to a
considerable extent upon the
care given to the hardy iris
now. In other words, iris should
not be neglected, or their care
put off until next season, il
top quality bloom is desired
It is time to dig and reset if
the plants have not been reset
for four years or more. And,
if new varieties are to be add
ed to the border, now is the
time to buy and plant them
The hardy garden iris, US
ually referred to as tall-beard-
ed iris, are gross feeders and
because of their strong growth
soon exhaust the soil within
root range and need to be lift
ed and divided. In this way q
fresh supply Of plant food car
be worked into the soil and al
the same time the plants
thinned so that there are moi
too many roots trying to gel
nourishment from q limited
area.
1t is possible to avoid this
chore and still obtain fairlN
acceptable results, but mos
gardeners prefer to dig and re.
set.
j Another reason for this rou,
tine is to remove the iris Dor.
ers. a universal pest, and II
dig out all diseased tissue be,
fore it ruins a clump.
Procedure Is Simple
There is no problem in dig.
ging iris at this season. Tht
clumps may be lifted with {
spading fork or shovel and tht
dirt removed from the roots.
The next step is to cut thu
rhizomes apart in fairly size
able sections.
Examine the cut ends To-
signs of the borers, usually ,
tunnel down the center of tht
rhizome. If present the rhizom,
should be whitfield off until tn,
borer is killed. Sometimes thC
borer's presence is shown b.
the dark water-soaked edges o
the leaves where they overlap
Oftentimes healthy division
free from borers can be founC
in the clump and the diseased
and borer infested sections dis
carded.
Usually in dividing the gar
dener will have many more sec
tions than will be needed TO
replanting.

WHAT AMERICA THINKS
Balanced Budget Gets
Backing Of Majority

NEW YORK, July 28.-More
Americans favor a balanced
Federal budget over a reduc-
ton in income taxes. When
asked to make a choice in a
What America Thinks" policy,
a little over so per cent IA
vored a. balanced budget and a
third wanted a tax reduction.
A croSs-section was asked
this question: "The Kennedy
administration is working on
a plan for a possible reduction
of income taxes. If a choice
must finally be made between
balancing the Federal budget
or reducing income taxes, which
alternative would you favor"
Here are the results.

West Point

WEST POINT, TODAY one of the worlds
most renowned officer training schools,
was the site Of key military fortress
during the American Revolution. The
defenses erected in l778 under the
direction Of the Polish commander,
Thaddeus Kosciuszko, included huge
chain stretched across the Hudson
River to block the British feet and
thereby prevent their cutting the col
onies in two. Two years later when
Benedict Arnold commanded the post,
he attempted to betray it to the British.
Visitors here are reminded of
Americas revolutionary past, and wit
ness the training of our future military
leaders. The setting - high above the
river is colorful, and the pageantry
and precision Of the corps is impress
sive. l like to tell my diplomat friends
of the peacetime activities of our West
POintgraduates who study both sciences
and humanities here.
The Army Engineers, for example,
surveyed our early railroad routes, and
West Pointer, Major General George
W. Coethals, supervised the construc-
ton Of the Panama Canal.

ACOOD TIME TO SEE DETROIT, / think,
is in the fall, when the air is crisp and
the auto industry unveils its latest
models in the huge new Cobo Hall and
Convention Arena. American cars are
famed abroad as symbols of this coun,
try's industrial genius. A tour of any
one of the many auto plants in and
around Detroit is memorable expert
ence. But what most impresses foreign
visitors are the sprawling parking lots
outside the plants. There sit thousands

workers share the fruit of their labor.
The General Motors Technical
Center is an arresting complex of beau

tunity to see Americas scientists at
work. ! recommend, too, that my
diplomat friends stop at the Henry
Ford Museum and Greenfield Village,
in Dearborn, whose curators have re-
created or restored much of Americas
past. In Greenfield Village you can see
Edison's laboratory from Menlo Park,
N. j., and the Wright brothers cycle
shop from Dayton, Ohio.

rial one Of the most important. This
edi6ce is so familiar to Americans that
fear we tend to merely glance at it in

few minutes there will help you under
stand why foreign diplomats consider a
visit to the Lincoln Memorial a high
spot in any tour through the United
States.
The great brooding statue of Abra-
ham Lincoln, seated under the soaring
ceiling Of the white granite memorial
building, speaks for itself. Here is the
most impressive evidence of this coun-
try's esteem for the man who believed
no nation could remain half slave and
half free. This monument has the most
marvellous effect on visitors, especially
those from Africa. We walk in, and

Fair-goers will reach the grounds in a
6O-mph elevated monorail from down.
town Seattle. A minute and a half
after leaving today's city, they will see
the realization of dreams for tomorrow,
ranging from disposable houses and
cOrdless appliances to simulated ride
through space. There too will be per-
forming artists from all over the world,
including the Old Vic company from
London, dancers from Mexico, and
puPPeteers from Japan.
And Seattle, set deep in the Pacific
Northwest, offers more than the Fair.
1t is surrounded by some of the best
fishing, hunting and skiing in the coun-
try. And it seems that almost every
family has boat. You can see snow
capped Mt. Rainier in the distance.
Here you get feeling for Amer
ica's love of the outdoors, for the great
forests and fisheries of the Northwest.
We can show our friends from abroad
how much we respect and care for our
natural resources.
