ollege Students Teach Children

- By MARGUERITE SMITH

NEXT SATURDAY is “planting aay” at Bloomington. It's plant-

ing day for a youngster's garden project that’s planting more than carrots and cucumbers. In the words of Dr. Barbara 8Shalucha of. the Indiana University faculty, whose story it is, it's “a garden project to plant the seeds of fine living, not a party and refreshments sort. of thing but to teach the philosophy ‘that lies behind gardens and nature.” The story really began three years ago when Dr. Shalucha came from Brooklyn Botanic Garden to the I. U. School of Recreation.” She brought with . her plenty of enthusiasm and knowhow for setting up garden projects for the young fry.

William Barrett .

One gardener who doesn’t care if north winds do | blow all. summer is William Barrett, 6471 Central Ave. For he mixes his interest in flowers with cement and stones until he's about to have to choose which it will be from now on. In a garden well supplied with gayly decked cement pools,

bird houses,

bridges and even a stone garden house, one of his choice items is his raised flower box, now filled with spring bulbs.

Later it will hold summer flowers. His travels to Mexico, South America and Europe supply ideas he then adapts to his own inventive imagination. But his work isn’t always appreciated, he says. Not long ago he decided to give his martin house a sturdier support,—cement, naturally. Shortly

after he'd finished a specially gay “totem pole” effect, a junk
