I f' ~'W- % I ” I HeVEM VASKO (Jn) Determined that they would rather »ee their child dead than go through life minus one of her eyes, the parents of 2-year-old Helen Vasko, of Hastings-on-Hudson, N. Y., plan to fight the ruling of the Westchester Children’s Court, which ordered the operation, without which, medical authorities say, the child will die a painful death. The little girl is afflicted with a malignant growth on her left eye, which if not removed will transmit the disease to the brain and cause death. But the mother and father of the child, Czecho-Slovakians, who came to America in 1923, refuse to permit the operation. The mother takes the stand that if “God wants to take Helen, he will do so, but there will be no operation,” while the father frankly scoffs at medical opinion, asserting that all “doctors are crazy.” Meanwhile the case has aroused tremendous interest. While the Appellate Division in Brooklyn is speeding up its legal machinery in order to render a decision with regard to the proposed operation, thousands of letters from parents are pouring in from all over the country, commenting on the case. One parallel brought to .he notice of the authorities is that of Bobby Schneider, of Babylon, L. I. When he was nineteen months old, Bobby was afflicted with the disease now affecting Helen Vasko. His parents were informed that an immediate removal of the eye was necessary. They consented, and Bobby, now three and a half, is a healthy, normal child

Wtth ihe HOE WTO <ygy«r -f j|| // j I Those fin roses which experienced gardeners grow are not the result of chance, but are produced by supplying the plants with plenty of food and moisture, if you would have blossoms 4s fine, you must copy their methods. Roses of the hybrid tea, or everblooming type do not like company They should be grown in a bed which is free from the roots of trees and shrubs, and apart from other plants. Prepare the soil of the rose (bed to a depth of two feet if possible, never less than twelve inches Unless the soil contains good quanties of organic material us evidenced by its friable condition, decomposed organic material matter such as compost, or leaf mould should be incorporated in it. The rose bed must be well drained. A heavy’ soil is preferable because it holds moisture well. Since •a heavy soil drains slowly, unless the rose bed is on 1a slope or in an elevated position artificia.ll drainage should be provided. (At the time rose plcnts are set out a complete plant food should be mixed with the soil which is pl-aced about them at the rate of one heap ing tablespoonful per gallon of soil For established rose plants an application of plant food should be made in the spring at the rate of four pounds per hundred square feet, or one rounded tablespoontul per square foot. Co/er the ground around each plant as far out as the top growth extends. This measures approximately the spread of the roots. Six to eight weeks later a two pound application should be made. Do not apply plant food after August 1. As an aid in retaining soil moisture a mulch of rotted leaves or peat moss should be maintained.
