Hedges serve many purposes
In the yard and garden. Those
around the perimeter are to
give privacy. In addition, they
may also serve to reduce the
force of wind, to deaden traffic
noises and to some extent les

greens, primarily Of the needle
kinds (cOnifers) although there
are several good ad-leaved
evergreens which may be used
for this purpose.
The choice between the many
kinds available should be based
upon the height desired and the
width to which the hedge may
be allowed to grow. For exam
pie, a hemlock hedge will need
approximately 6 feet. The pyr-
amidal abordyitae or an Amer
lean holly hedge, can be kept to
three or four feet. The slender
growing column Chinese juniper
will need about the same
amount Of space. California
privet can be kept to 2 or 8 feet.
Advice on Trimming
The trimming needed to keep
a hedge compact and within
bounds varies greatly between
the different kinds of plants. The
California privet, for example,
needs six to eight clippings a
year, the hemlOck-two, and the
column Chinese juniper one. 1t
should be noted here that the
top Of the hedge should be at
least six inches narrower than
the base If the foliage is to be
retained from the ground up.
Once the top is allowed to ex-
coed the bottom in width the
lower foliage declines.
Hedges that are used to di-
vide the back yard into various
"uSe" areas are quite often low
er than those around the yard.
Also they tend to be more infor-
NAL i.e., not kept clipped to a
compact form. This may be
wasteful space and the owner
should consider this In selecting
his plant material. For example

Wide Choice Possible
In Choosing Hedges

lzontal wires need not occupy
more than q foot or two Of
space and can be kept at any
height desired. BoxwoOd, on the
other hand, are best allowed to
grow In billowing masses which
in time may exceed six feet in
width. The so-called American
lockwood is often clipped to for
NAL outline and requires only a
couple feet Of space.
The soil for the hedge should
be carefully prepared before
planting through the addition Of
compost or peatmoSs. This is
best done by excavating a
trench and then mixing the ma.
terials into the soil in the bot
tom of the trench to a depth Of
another six or eight inches. The
plants are then placed and the
top soil returned for filling the
area about the root balls. The
whole trench and root balls
should be thoroughly watered to
settle the soil about them.
When to Plant
Since evergreenS are normal
ly used for this purpose, plant
ing is best done in late March
or early April. If weather per-
mits it may be done in August
or early September.
Suggestions for low hedges
8 feet or less includes: Box
wood, the convex-leave Japa-
neSe holly, the Hetzi japanese
holly, the upright growing eu-
onymus &c. japOnicus), dwarf
Japanese yew and barberry. A
hedge three to six feet tall: Ev-
ergreen barberry (Berberis juli-
anae), American lockwood, up
right growing Japanese yew,
firethorn (pyracantha), devils
walking stick (aralia spinoSa).
Hedges six to 10 feet: Ameri-
can holly, hemlOck, ware arbor-
vitae IT. wareana), firethorn,
California privet, etc. Ten or
more: Column Chinese juniper,
columner American arborvitae,
Only a few Of the above will
thrive equally well in sun or
shade. The hemlock, lockwood,
Euonymus, American holly and
the Japanese hollies. The juni-
per arborvitae, firethorn, Cryp-
tomeria and clim b in 6 roses
need full sun. The hemlock likes
a moist situation and preferably
one protected from strong driv'
ing winds.-W. H. Y.

in the single generations from
say, Ghirlandaio to Mcclellan
gelo, or Boucher to David, or
Cezanne to Picasso, than the
japanese manage In centu-
ries.
So, from our Western point
of view, you don't move Wig
OrouSly forward from one
thing to another. You simply
exist, in communion with an
art which also isn't going any
place but is simply existing.
It's a restful and purifying
experience.
One change corresponds to
our Western history. The ear
ier work, that Of the 14th CEN
try and earlier, is almost en-
tirely religious, depicting var
ious manifestations Of Buddha
and saints, monks and foun-
deEs of religious institutions.
Later, nature b g ON e s the
subject. As in French art, the
18th century invents the art of
refined eroticism. But in the
japanese m aterial these
changes seem nothing like as
great as with us. The attitude
of the artist, the effect of the
art, seem little changed as he
moves, so slowly, from con-
temptation of the Buddha to
contemplation of mountains
and streams to contemplation
of gay ladies and their COM
paniOns.
Rhapsody In Moonlight
In erOtica, for example, we
rightly consider Fragonard
fairly refined and reticent
compared to the exertions Of
Boucher, but Frago himself
seems earthly, even rather
vulgar, compared to the large
Utamaro painting decorously
translated as Moonlight Ru-
elry."
Contemporary scenes of the
Kabuh h e alter strike the
mind, upon examination, as
Mack Sennett disguised as
Nanki-Poo; yet, though the
slapstick falls, though the
pratfaIl is taken, you realize
there is no noise in these buff
lettings and tumblings. All is
silence, or a e d and main
tanned by the dominant pat
terning of the pictures.
Come at the problem from
another direction, from the
m curtains and streams.
These are, often enough, wild,
rugged landscapes, but they
never have the utter wilder
ness effect that comparable
Western work has specialized
in. Two things prevent it.
One is the hand of the ar
fist, always visible in the fin
iShed work, which is not only
mountain crag but also ink
line every inch of the way.
The other is the simple fact
that the ! a Id scapes are
domesticated. The most tow
ering mountains reveal a cou-
pie of tiny travellers on the
shoulder, a diminutive tea
house in the shadow, with a
party of tea-buffs looking out
at the boats upon the water.
1t is, always, a civilized will
derneSS.
With Floating Blossoms
Another clue to the floating
world of Japanese art may be
found in the rich section of
the show devoted to the Rim
pa School of Decorative Paint
ing, a family enterprise that
went on for generations and
that covered the surfaces of
fans and screens as well as
formal scrolls and hangings.
A very choice item in the
Freer show is a pair of sliding
doors adorned with blossoms
afloat on the grain.
There was no hard diStinc-
ton between art and craft or
any comparable distinction. 1t
was all part of life and life
itself was art and contempla-
ton.

POINT OF VIEW

The Senate has been the
liberal" half Of Congress sc
long now it seems almost a law
of politics that it remain so
But, as the National Committee
for an Effective Congress points
out in a report released today
"it amt necessarily So"
NCEC is a nominally non-
.p PARTISAN organization that
raises campaign funds for lib
eral-or as it prefers to call
them, "world-minded" - con-
gressional candidates.
In its memo issued today
it reminds its supporters that
the progressive character Of
the Senate is almost entirely
due to the freakish election OF
1858.
In that year, with the Re-
publicans plagued by q recess
sion and the Sherman Adams
case, the Democrats won 13
seats from the opposition and
than soon after claimed three
Of the four from the new
States Of Alaska and Hawaii.

No Results
John r. wilkins

The taxpayers in this area
have tried, through their vari-
Gus citizens associations, to ex-
press their disapproval of re-
coming the area at 70-S and Old
Georgetown Road for high-rise
apartments. So far their efforts
have had no results, and per-
haps your newspaper could be
more effective in suggesting to
the County Council members
that they re-examine their rea-
sons for voting for this pro-
posal in disregard of the tax
payers expressed wishes, Plan
ming Board recommendations,
and their own campaign prom
ises of frugality.
Naturally, we taxpayers and
voters would like to feel that
the elected County Council rep

as to prominent members of

I wish to set forth publicly
the objections / have previously
made to the Montgomery Coun-
ty Planning Commission with
reference to the proposed recon-
ing of the Wildwood Manor
area to permit the erection by
Alvin Aubinoe of a so-called
high-rise apartment building.
AS i stated in my letter to
the Commission that when we
purchased our residence at 5941
Avon Drive, one of the strong
factors in our decision was the
implication by the sales repre-.
sentative of MIR. Aubinoe that
Wildwood Manor would be ex-
clusively single-residence type
of development as 1t was at that
time. 1t would thus give us
the type of environment that we
desired.
II is obvious that no high-rise
of the proposed type was con.
templated at the time the inter-
change between Route 240 and
Old Georgetown Road was con-
structed.
This brings me to my second
objection which / brought to

vesfed Interest

AS a veteran of a previous
conflict with Aubinoe power 1
look to our elected officials for
protection from this organiza-
ton which once again threatens
the security of homeowners in
the Wildwood and surrounding
area. 1t is inconceivable in a
democracy that the self-interest
Of an individual can weigh more
in the minds of the majority of
the Montgomery County Coun-
ell than the larger interest Of
the community which win be
grievously affected by rezoning
for apartment construction. If
the council wishes to regain the
trust, confidence, and respect of
the electorate then 1t will re-
verse its decision in Case C-1133.
Failing this 1t can only be con-
sidered an instrument of vested
interest and its lackey.

Letters On AubinOe

and we were treasured by the
coming plan which was passed
by the Montgomery County
Council in the spring of 1868,
according to which only one
family houses would be permit
ted in the area.
Now a preliminary action by
the County Council, by a four
to three vote, in opposition to
the expressed concern of more
than 1000 residents in Wild
wood Manor, threatens that an
essential promise made over a
period of eight years to all who
purchased houses in the area
will be broken, and that a petit
ton to build a high-rise apart
ment will be supported, the pres
ence of which would destroy
those values of independent Hv-
ing which have attracted the
present residents to the commu.
nifty.
In a preliminary action of the
Council, four of the members,
Mr.. Floyd, Miss Diggs, Mrs.
Hepburn and Mr.. Hiser, have
supported the financial objec-
tive of Mr.. Aubinoe in opposi-
ton to the desire for maintain
ing their present community
standards on the part of nearly
all the residents of the Wild
wood-Luxmanor- Fernwood area.
We trust that the expressed
need of a large number of their
constituents will prevail upon
these four members to recon-
slider, and that the final action
by the County Council will for
bid a rezoning plan for the
Wildwood area which, as the
legal representative of the in
volved Citizens Associations
has demonstrated, would consti-
tute a ruthless disregard of
community welfare in support
OF an opportunity for financial
benefit to a single family.
