LAGOS, Nigeria (AP)-Tele-
vision technology has provided a
new magic relic for some of
Nigeria's juju medicine men.
Alan Guley, an Australian
news executive at the Nigerian
Television Service, noticed re-
Gently his supply Of plastic film
bobbins was sharply diminished.
Television film is wound on
these small spools.
Questioning employees, Guley
discovered local juju doctors
would purchase spools for use in
diagnosing illne sses. They would
toss a few Of the brightly colored
bobblns onto the ground and make
a diagnosis by interpreting print
ing stamped on the bobbin.
The type of sickness was de-
temined, Guley was told, by
whether the words Kodak" and
made in England" faced up or
down after the spools stopped
rolling.

Plant Bulbs Now
For Early Spring
Color

Hardy bulbs surpass all other
plants in producing color in the
early spring garden, and this is
the time of year to plant them
for spring blooming, according
to Robert F. Stevens, extension
horticulturist at the University
Of Delaware.
These are the first flowers to
bloom in quantity in the spring.
Starting in February or early
March are snowdrops and win
ter aconite, soon followed by
crocus, bluebells and snow
flakes. A week or two later,
the large, Snowy early tulips,
daffodils and hyacinths appear.
Spring Towering bulbs are a
versatile group of plants,
Stevens pointed out. They lend
themselves to mass planting,
naturalizing in wooded areas,
along walks, in formal gardens,
rock gardens, in the perennial
border and in front Of evergreen
foundation plants, Many are ex-
cellent as cut flowers, too, he
said.
Almost any location that is
well drained lends itself to
paintings of these spring flower
ing bulbs. They can be planted
now through November Is; and
some tulips can be planted even
later.
In the heavy soils Of northern
Delaware, bulbs should not be
planted as deeply as is usually
recommended, Stevens said. He
suggests planting tulips, hya-
cinths and narcissus four to
five inches deep to the tops Of
the bulbs, and smaller bulbs
such as crocus and snowdrops
two inches deep.
A small handful of limestone
and fertilizer such as 5-lO-lO
worked into the ground before
planting is usually worthwhile,
he said. However, winter mulch
ing recommended in northern
areas is not necessary in Della
ware.
"eWith the tremendous num-
ber of varieties of tulips, mar
cissus and hyacinths available,
to say nothing Of the small bulbs
like crocus, dog toothed violets,
grape hyacinths and m any
others, the home owner can
easily produce a riot Of spring
color from March to June" I"
Stevens said. "And the new home
owner has an opportunity to en-
hance the bare appearance of
his home and lot with these
colorful, easily grown plants. "

Drama entitled "Simon, Called
Peter" at the church on Sunday
evening, April IA, 1868, at 700

Peter who has been overcome

Of his denial of Christ, and ne
feels he no longer has a place
In the Masters service. His
wife, Rachel, and her mother,
Dorcas, try in vain to console
him, as do his friends. Dorcas,
remembering the Lords healing
Of her body, feels certain He
has power over life and death.
The intervening conversation Of
Jesus followers reveals facts
concerning His crucifixion.
Mary Magda1ene and other faith
full women found the tomb empty
and brought the news of His
resurrection to Peter and the
others. Peter rejoiced not only
