Jim Miller Keeps Plants in Bloom and Trees Leafed
By TIM TIPPETT Did vou ever wonder why trees leafed and flowers bloomed for the Home Show while outside the Manufacturers Building all that can be seen are frail shoots and the be-
was aroused. too, so early this morning before we thought anyone would be at the Home Show, we went out there on the chance we might catch a tree or flower in a talkative mood. However, the daisies wouldn't talk and the roses were content to just be quiet and look beautiful. But we did meet city nursery head Andy Miller's son, Jim Jim is the man responsible for the freshness of the Home Show lawns, trees and shrubs. In his 20-year-old hands rests the responsibility of seeing that the landscaping remains perfect throughout the 10-day show.
Sod Is Replaced
It is a relatively simple thing. If the sod begins to gray under the strain of an indoor life it is replaced. | The shrubs and trees seem quite satisfied in their surroundings, requiring only & drink of water at night. | The flowers atk but little more and are cared for each morning by volunteer workers of the Indianapolis Garden Clubs Jim begins his watering pruning along about 11 p. m. and by 8 the next morning all his charges have been pruned, watered and ready for another day of beauving the Indianapolis Home Show
Our curiosity
and
only luxury permitted the plants is peat moss, It's placed] around the plants to keey the soil] moist. So far more than a ton of the moss has been used. | It has been the custom ever since man can remember for flowers to] fold their petals and, after flower fashion, sleep during the nights | However, the Home Show flowers do very little sleeping and some of | them foregoe it altogether. Perhaps it is the lack of rest, or| because they resent being forced into bloom in hothouses before the show, but some of the shrubs and trees will need two years of rest in the Home Show greenhouse at Tist St., before they will be equal to being moved again.
Actually Blossom
Under the care of young Jim some of the bushes have even been encouraged to the extent of boasting new blossoms. Among these forward are lilacs and flowering currants All of the larger shrubs and trees are moved into the home show with large balls of earth surrounding
WAR FEAR AFFECTS AMERICAN CHILDREN

RICHMOND, Va. Avoril 24 American children are showing more | fright and worry over war than Brit{ish children who have stood war's jactual dangers, Dr. Harvie D. Cog-
, their roots which aid in maintaining
their health. Some of the growing decorations such as the laurel and honeysuckle were shipped here from
places as far as North Carolina and Florida The brightness of the foliage at the Home Show mayv be from just downright good care but it's our hunch that there's a little of the Miller luck mixed up in it some place Andy got a few ducks for Lake Sullivan and now he can’t even keep the wild birds away. Now his son started out just to keep the trees looking fresh, and theyre taking matters in their own branches and are increasing the number of their blossoms.

| Americans may be surprised to learn that WRUL, as an Allied propaganda instrument, is topped only by the British Broadcasting Com- | pany and even may hit some spots] on the globe not reached by BBS. {There is this difference between these media: BBC is operated by the British Government; WRUL, a radio anomaly because it is noncommercial, is completely free within the restrictions of the Federal Com-| munications Commission. | | As the mouthpiece of the World-| | Wide Radio Foundation WRUL attempts to play its propaganda ball down the middle, with translated spot news and news interpretations rather than up some personal or private alley. Thus, its fair-haired boys are the commentators Raymond Gram Swing and Hendrik van Loon. | WRUL was dedicated five years ago as “a world-wide radio station devoted to culture and education fostering international goodwill"—a world university. | Walter S. Lemmon, founder of the station, got the idea for a radio uni-| versity just after the World War, | when, as a voung naval lieutenant, he went with President Wilson to the Vercailles Peace Conference as special radio officer. His dream of 21 vears now is reaching maturity.
