One Day This
Week In Oakland

I called upon Aunt Mollie. She
met me at the door and led me
toward her sun porch. / immedi-
ately asked her how her hearing
aid was working, the purchase of
which | described a few weeks ago
in this column. She shook her head
and said that she didn't under
stand how she ever got along with
out it, and she again assured me,
in all seriousness, that she had
only a very minor hearing loss.
She wondered why people didn't
give hearing aids as Christmas
presents to people with minor
hearing losses. You know, like
the announcer on radio says, give
The Gift of Hearing"
We had gotten to the sun porch
by now and she beckoned me to
sit in one of the two chairs nestled
back among all of the flowers and
plants that filled the room. Aunt
Mollie has the grecnest thumb of
anyone | ever knew. Whenever
come by l always bring her some
small gift, usually a plant, and to-
day l had a Rex BegOnia | had

ing She beamed when she saw my
gift, and then her eyes had far
off look as she remarked Wistfully
that this was how it all had begun.
Many years ago four Begonias
and two ivy plants were brought
i'm to brighten the bleak east win
doWs in her sewing room With
that beginning, over the years she
added more plants, and each plant
presenting a challenge to her to
make it grow From the success
with the plants came pride and
confidence and added knowledge
of the world of nature.
Eventually, as her family grew
and her sewing chores became
less demanding, the sewing room
changed over to a sun porch filled
with hundreds of different plants
and flowers. There were so many
different kinds of African Violets
that | remarked about them once.
She told me that they weren't
really violets at all, but hybrids
of nine different species of the
plant Saint Paula from various
parts of Africa All of our hundreds
of different African VioletS today
are descendants of these original
nine kinds of plant. She also of
fered a bit of lore concerning the
rubber plants we buy for our
homes. They are members of the
fig family. Now you know what
type of leaf is referred to when
fig leaf is mentioned. She told me
that the tree from which rubber
is produced commercially is really
one of the castor-bean family.
Aunt Mollie used to go to great
lengths to prepare soil properly
for her house plants. She would
gather humus and leaf mold from
the woods and add rich loan from
the garden, and mix in little
rotted manure. She learned very
early that the greatest threat to
house plants was the insect grubS
and various disease-causing bac-
terra present in the mixtures she
brought in from outdoors Some
times she would treat the potting
mixture with formaldehyde, not
unlike the treatment farmers used
pans of potting soil in her oven,
roasting it for two hours at 200
degrees and thus getting rid of
all pathogens, insect grubs, and
even weed seeds. After using these
methods all those years she is so
happy for the sterilized potting
soil she can now buy at the drug
store, balanced and labeled as to
its exact composition and COM
pletely free of noXious substan-
ceS.
Philodendrons are, apparently,
about one of the easiest of plants
to cultivate. You can't over-water
a Philodendron because, like ivy,
and the Chinese Evergreen, its
roots are able to breath air dis
solved in water. Most other plants
roots grow above the water table,
or water level. The water must fall

Square Dance Time

Recently there was an interest,"
ing study made by a leading adj
vertising agency for a Pharma-
ceutical Company to discover
which of all the activities In this
country most fitted the American
scene, was the most typical and
friendly recreation, and in the
eyes of the researchers, was
destined for a growing and con-
tfnuing success. The results
pointed overwhelmingly to square
dancing. AS a result, we may ex-
pect to see quite bit of square
dancing advertising representing
this company and featuring at
tractive square dancers In nat
ural action poses. It will be nice
to get away from beer and liquor
commercials as these are not
all compatible with square dane
ing. It takes a clear head and
quick flexes to dance to today'S
challenging calls and alcoholic
drinks are VERBOTEN!
More and more classes are
being organized to learn this
fascinating type of dancing. Five
or six classes are not in pro-
gress In lower Delaware. AS
new classes graduate and join the
main stream Of dancing, friend
ships grow in ever widening cir
cles.
At last Saturday nights dance
in Seaford, the twenty or more
couples from the Diamond State
Twirlers met many new dancers
from several parts Of lower Del
aware. Altogether it was a most
enjoyable evening.
A really big night is expected
this Saturday night at the regular
club dance of the Diamond State
Twirlers. Jim Cargi1l will be
the caller for this dance. Jtm's
popularity has been growing by
leaps andbounds as more dancers
hear his rhythmic yet interesting
calls. Jim has just completed a
tour In Florida and other south
ern points. And don't forget :
Herb Keyes says Jim gives green
stamps so ask for yours! Be
