OF the abundant growth and
Jloom, Mrs. Riggs says, II
think it shows that this Is the
way the plants love to be-in a
natural setting"
Narrow Footpath
A narrow footpath marked
by stepping stones twists down
the hillside, through the trees
and wild azalea to the canal.
Those making the Country
House Tour are urged to wear
flat heeled shoes to avoid scar
ring floors as well as punching
holes in lawns and gardens. For
anyone who wants to try the
woodland path at Riggswood-
low heels are an absolute neces-
sity.
More formal paintings flank
the terraces and recesses
around the house. From a high
terrace outside the glass-walled
living room, steps wind down to
a small formal rose garden with
a statue of st. Francis In the
centre. There also are climbing
roses on the walls, a clematis
vine and a pyracantha, which
Mrs. Riggs grows especially for
the birds.
In addition to gardening, a
full.time hobby with Mrs.
Riggs, she has become a bird
watcher and was especially
delighted this past winter to OBJ
serve a loon on the Potomac.
A clipped yew hedge sur
rounds the rose garden and the
rose borders are relieved with
narcissus and blue and white
myrtle.
On the protected southeast
side of the house Mrs. Riggs
designed a series Of terraced
hotbeds. Here she grows camel
las and in warmer weather,
hangs pots of her large collec-
ton of exotic orchids.
Beds of strawberries, aspara.
gus, rhubarb, herbs, lettuce and
tomatoes line the terraces along
with annual plants Mr.. Riggs
grows from seed.
Mrs. Riggs is as skillful at
growing house plants as she Is
at outdoor gardening. The floor
to ceiling windows lining the
river side of her house are
massed with house plants, chief
ly tropical. A number of these,
birds of paradise and certain

Home Owners Are
Warned Against
De-IceY Chemicals

The Better Business Bureau of
Minneapolis has a word of caution
to home owners who buy de-icer
chemicals: The Portland Cement
Association advises that any de-
icer containing ammonium sulfate
or ammonium nitrate will have a
corrosive effect on concrete, caus-
ing it to disintegrate. De-icers con-
tanning sodium chloride Ordinary
salt) or calcium chloride will not
harm properly constructed side
walks and driveways. They des-
cribe properly constructed" as
air-entrained and adequately cured
concrete such as that specified for
modern streets and highways.
The laboratory director Of the
state department of agriculture
confirms this statement, and he
adds that when products contain
ing calcium or sodium chloride are
used, care should be taken to avoid
a concentration harmful to veget-
alton. Claims that such products
retard the rusting of automobiles,
machinery or cutters, are, accord
ing to the director, untrue.
The BIB has recommended to
dealers that the chemical contents
Of de-icers offered for sale be re-
vealed on the container, and that
directions for use to avoid damage
be given also on labels.
Consumers are advised that dam
age can be avoided If products
containing ammonium nitrate or
ammonium sulfate are never used
as de-icers and If calcium or
sodium chloride products are used
only on properly constructed con-
crete.

NEW HIGHWAYS DESIGNED FOR
ADULTS WITH 12-YEAR-oLD 10

NEW YORK - A study on
the projected use Of steel ON
the nations highway construc~
ton program produced this side
light - the road builders are
designing the highways for
adults whose intelligence quo
tient may be that Of 12-year"
old child.
Sideways, official publication
Of the American Iron and Steel
Institute, notes that interviews
with engineers responsible for
designing the 41,000 miles Of
the new National System Of
Interstate and Defense High
ways work on two assumptions:
y The driver doesn't rea-
lie how long it takes to stop
a car that is going at 80, 20
and 80 miles an hour.
p The driver doesn't believe
an accident can ever happen
to him.
AS for the study itself, the
steel industry expects that be-
tween now and 1872 when the
highway system is due for COM
pletion, the road builders will
consume:
-. 1872 million tons of struc-
tural steel, including structural
shapes, plates, bearing and sheet
piles, much of which would go
into bridge construction.
1876 million tons Of re-
inforcing steel, including REIN
forcing bars and welded wire
fabric to improve the physical
strength of concrete.
81 million tons Of steel
culvert pipe, including CORFU
gated metal and structural plate
pipe and arches.
SO million tons of mis-
cellaneous steels, including fenc-
ing, guardrail, lighting stand
ards direction signs and bridge
railing.
14.5 million tons Of steel
expected to go to indirect uses,
such requirements ard repair
parts for the machinery and
motor vehicles employed in the
construction effort.

Problems Of The
OVerweiohf Child

When you let your child become
a "Fatso" you change the whole
pattern of his personality and the
whole course of his life, warns the
Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton which says the psychological
damage of being fatty" in child
hood far outweighs the physical
damage.
Contrary to popular belief, the
overweight child is not healthier
or stronger than the slender one.
School absences are more common
among fat children, and strength
and endurance tests show that the
slender child ranks above the fat
one at every age.
Because most social contacts
among children center around
games and sports, the Association
says that the fat child early dis
covers that he cannot keep up
with his classmates. AS a result
he is left behind and misses all
the fun.
AS he reaches his teens, the
problems increase. The overweight
teen-ager is doomed to the role of
wallflower at parties, and often
find that their more attractive
classmates do not want to be seen
with them - so they make friends
among the other "fatties" and take
comfort in eating.
Parents often state that their
children have "'inherited" their
fat. Scientific evidence, however,
points out that fat children with
fat parents have not inherited"
the excess pounds - but have ac-
quired the fattening eating habits
of their parents.
What can parents do to help
fatty children? The Association
advises consulting a doctor about
a good diet; satisfying the child's
cravings for sweets by making
cakes and candies from sugar sub
stitutes; and setting a good ex-
ample by eating non-fattening
foods and refusing to eat certain
foods because they are too fat
tening".
Additionally parents should
avoid encouraging children to take
second helpings, remembering that
it is the quality, not the quantity,
of the foods a child eats that help
him grow strong and healthy.
1t is well to keep in mind, says
the Association, that a child does
not necessarily have to lose weight,
because if child keeps his weight
stationary for several months he
will be thinner because he will
have gained in height.

South's BoeICwurdness On Race Problem
Blamed On Sections Politicians

Chicago. - A Methodist min
lister who has served both Northern
and Southern pastorates says the
South probably will solve its race
problem before the North does.
The Rev. DR.. Dow Kirkpatrick
expressed this view in an article
written for the February issue of
Together, a Methodist magazine.
The Rev. DR.. Kirkpatrick is pas
tor of the First Methodist Church
in Evanston, a Chicago suburb.
Previously he was pastor of st.
Marks in Atlanta.
One of his convictions that he
said 'is sure to raise eyebrows" is:
Il think the race problem prob
ably will be solved in the South be-
fore it is in the North.
"Why? Primarily because South
ern people have a warm, person
to-person relationship with Ne
groes that / do not find in the
North"
He wrote, THE real agony for
the South Is to preserve this
warmth for Negroes while shifting
it out of the traditional master
servant context into a normal pat
tern of human relationships"
The Rev. DR.. Kirkpatrick said
the pattern is shifting. He said
action is on the wane, but pre-
judice is replaced by social insecur-
ity.
He praised efforts Of Southern
churchmen in fighting race hatred
and said, while he wished they
had provided stronger leadership
during the last decade. This is
difference Of opinion, not a matter
of courage or conviction"
He blamed Southern politicians
for much racial unrest.
The Southern public has been
deliberately deceived and grossly
misled and even now in many
places is suffering agony because
Of this" the Rev. DIR. Kirkpatrick
wrote.
I'm afraid I feel Southern pol
iticians are no different from
Northern ones in this score" he
continued. IF 1t took the kind of
talk to be elected Governor in
Illinois or New York that 1t does
in Mississippi or Alabama, that is
the kind of talk we'd be hearing.
The remedy comes when the pub
lie, aware Of this, uses the power
of the ballot to change leadership"
St. Paul recorder., 1963-01-17

loves chldren SAID, L do not see
too much difference in the young
people of today and those Of my
generation. Years ago young boys
and girls on their way to school
took off their coats as soon as
they turned the corner from their
homes. Today, they take them off
outside their door!
Years ago, when young ladies
wore "longies" to parties, they
rolled" them up as soon as they
got in the dressing room and
sometimes forgot to roll them
back down before they reached
home and parents!
Years ago, boys were told not to
smoke until they were allowed to
do so. wish I had a dime for
every boy who waited to smoke
until given permission! Today, not
only the young boy smokes, but
his sister also. It was an unheard
of thing to hear that a young girl
smoked-then, if she did, she was
really an exception, rather than
the rule. But it is still a wise
young person, boy or girl, who will
listen to their parents and not
smoke at all-or, if they feel they
must smoke, do wait until they are
old enough.
Alice started talking, "in my
time when a boy asked a girl to
go out with him he always paid
the bill. Today's young man is
just as apt to say, lets double
treat! There are exceptions to all
rules. Today's youth are busy try
ing to get an education and so
many of them cannot afford to pay
for two so there is a good fellow
ship between boys and girls of
their crowd to go fifty-fifty on
informal dates. Some parents have
finally accepted the idea but they
do not agree with this younger
generation that it is right and
proper.
Then they began speaking of the
