. Each year Americans celebrate on the Fourth of July. It’s a day in the middle of the hot summer when one can go on a picnic, go to the lake, or just stay at home ami relax — it's a holiday.

Pig Talk Just about everyone has heart! of pig Latin. But probably few of us :■ alize Irow 'much “pig talk” there is in everyday language. ‘ . The American Meat Institute lias assembled a lengthy list of colorful words and phrases that pay tribute* in a manner <■*. speaking; to the hog. Here are some of • "Eating high, off the hog*’ —- an old expression stemming from the fact that the t!>*‘>t desirable cuts come from the upper section of the animals. "Bring home the bacon” -—. a saying that prolxtbly came fn»m the custom <>t awarding the pig to the winner of a greased-pig chase.

If these are in great numbers they can prevent jthe lea yes from receiving any food and it this Ls severe enough, the leaves will wither. If a tree looks ragged, inspect it for scale insects out on. the branches where is still smooth. The second confman problem is leaf scorch. This is an imbalance between the amount of moisture re-, moved by evaporation and the a»j mount carried up from the root system. If the tree cannot support all its leaf growth, then some limbs ought to come off. In any case a deep watering about ohce a week will be helpful. So far we have seen no major diseases and do not expect to find any serious ones. Thus far the troubles

US. Have you forgotten about our forefathers, who signed the Declaration of Independence on .July 1. 1776? Or the meaning of the word independent — free from the influence, control, or determination of another or .others: free from.the ride of another; controlling or governing oneself. „ If we want' to keep this freedom which we so often take for granted, let’s start celebrating Independence Day and not.the Fourth of July. ■ ■ ■

SUMMER HOUSE PLANT CARE LAFAYETTE — Don’t forget your house plants this summer. .

Normal indoor plant care is a| little different now than durtog the winter. Plant.- dry <Mt faster, so proper watering is more critical. I Add water when tiie sod has dried out down one fourth inch from tlw surface Then water the plant until the moisture drips out the bottom of the pot Keep African violets and foiiage plants such as the philodendriHi out of direct sunlight I In addition, your house plants I should be fertilized once a month lin spring and summer. Use a com-. ’ merci al water soluble fertilizer as | directed on the label. , i The horticulturists say that giving your house plants a breath of fresh j air now and then or putting them 1 out all summer is a good idea for I some v’ariet.es. African violets ‘ should be kept ndoors. ■ When you bring a plant outdoors 'for the summer, place the pot and * ail in the soil in a shady area of iyaur yard. It’s a good idea to surround tN* pot with peat-moss and to place , gravel underneath it. Water it during dry spells and feri tilize it monthly.

Foreign Aid Puts Senate Chamber In Darkness
The other day, in the middle of j debate on the Foreign Aid Bill, an : odd thing happened. The Senate chamber was suddemly plunged in- 1 to darkness as a fuse blew somewhere. A few small emergency lights far up in the ceiling left a ghostly twilight too dim for reading as the ornate chandeliers went dark The next few minutes provided some bits of humorous repartee. Senator Aiken of Vermont, for instance, referring to our problems in Southeast Asia, remarked that “Congress has been working in the I dark for so long that I do not think we should mind this irleruption of the lights going out at this time” Senator Allott of Colorado vias speaking when sudden darkness fell. Senator Miller of lowa pro-I mptly asked, “Will the Senator yield?”, but when the response was “No” he asked.“ Can he shed some light on the subject?” But it remained for Democratic Senator Randolph, when the Rep- . übbean Senator from Colorado did yeild the floor, to make the most of the situation. He told his colleagues about an occasion during his first campaign in West Virginia for the House of Representatives. .As he was speaking to a strongly Republican audience, the lights went out as they had just'done in the Senate. “I tried to relieve the unusual situation.” said Senator Randolph, “by paraphrasing an old hymn . . . j I said: ‘Let the lower lights be burning: Send a gleam across wave; Some poor fainting, strugReixiblican I must rescue, I I ■•most save.’ Just then the lights’ came on again.” But the Republican Senator Allot: was equat to the occasion. “I ■ can only say." he replied. “that I am hatxw to have that little story. [Obviously the Serxitor’s affinity with the- Lord must have been much, closer then than it is now, because I do not see the lights going on this time.” Here the official record says: Laughter ” | I ..Sbon the debate resumed on its serious level, and before long the lights came on again. But for a few 1 • darkness, a light banter in the Senate \"’d .-it ail .truth. I suppose one would have to admit that at least .for once.-the critics were right who say the Senate carries on debate in the dark. BEACH SHIFTS LAFAYETTE.
