‘Can the rush grow up without
ire? Can the flag grow without
iter?”—Job 8:11.
“And they shall turn the rivers
/ay; and the brooks of defense
[all be emptied and dried up;
[e reeds and flags shall wither,
le paper reeds by the brooks, by
le mouth of- the brooks, and
[erything sown by the brooks
jail wither, be driven away and
no more.”—Isaiah 19:6-7.
‘And the parched ground shall
jcome a pool, and the thirsty land
[rings of water: in the habitations
dragons, where each lay, shall
grass with reeds and rushes,”—
liah 35:7.
‘In such a fast that I have
losen? A day for a man to afflict
|s soul? It is to bow down his
(ad as a bulrush, and to spread
[ckcloth and ashes under him.”—
liah 58:5.

and to help make our city clean
and beautiful”. Their slogan is
“Don’t Be A Litter-Bug.” Their
Conservation Pledge reads—“I give
my pledge as an American to
save and faithfully to defend from
waste the natural resources of my
‘country—its soil and minerals, its
foi-ests, waters and, wildlife.”
For their theme they have “To
gether we will be keepers of God’s
earth” and their year’s objective is
“To mold within . the member’s
heart and mind the love of the
beautiful; the knowledge and care
of earth’s treasure.”
Here is their club song; entitled
“All Things Bright and Beauti
ful”;
All things bright and bautiful.
All creature great and small;
All things wise and wonderful.
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Elach little bird that sings;
He made the glowing colors.
He made the tiny wings.
The purple headed inountains.
The rivers flowing by,
The sunset and the morning
That brighten up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter.
The pleasant summer sun;
The ripe fruits in the garden.
He made them everyone.
The tall trees in, the greenwood.
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water
We gather every day.
He gave us eyes to see them, j
And lips thst we mil^t ' teH
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
Children can be taught to love
Nature. They are familiar with the
plants to be protected, and the
ones to destroy. They know the
harmful and harml^s insects—the
harmful and protective birds of
the air.
The Wild Flower Society sug
gests that we neveir pick or dig
wild flowers in quantity, unless
they are abundant or weedy. Our
state has more than 6,000 native
plants and species, 128 families of
drug plants, and 166 different
trees.
Hang bird houses out for the
birds. Be sure to place them as
high as eight feet off the ground.
We salute this month the young
nature lovers who desire to seek,
to learn more of our Good Earth,
that their years- to come may prove
as Jean Louis Agassing has said:
“The study of nature is intercourse
with the Highest Mind.”
We close todaiy’s column with
this thought from the pbn of Ro
bert Browning:
“This year’s at the spring.
The day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven.
The hillside’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing.
The snail’s oq the thorn;
God’s in His Heaven—
All’s right with the world.”

Italians eat with gusto because
they truly enjoy their fine dishes.
Perhaps you’d like to learn the se
cret of the Italian dish that prob
ably appeals to Americans more
than any other—the pizza, which
combines many of the wonderful
flavors that have long made Italian
cusine famous. The true pizza, of
course, is a crisp tender yeast-raised
crust filled with toniatoes, two
kinds of cheese and seasoned with
garlic and oregano, plus a choice of
mushrooms, sausage, salami or an
chovies
Crust
3/4 cup Warm water (not hot,
105 degrees to 115 degrees F.)
1 package active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups prepared biscuit mix
Filling
2 6-oz. packages sliced Mozzarel
la cheese
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 cloy6 garlic chopped “
2 cups tonl'dtb'sauce' ' “ .
About 1 cup chopped salami
or cooked Italian sausage
or 2 can anchovies, chopped
or 2 3-1/4-oz. cans sliced toma
toes
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Dissolve yeast in warm, not hot,
water. Add biscuit mix; beat vigor
ously. Turn dough onto surface well
dusted with biscuit mix. Knead un
til smooth, about 20 times. Divide
dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece
paper-thin into a circle, about 10”
in diameter. Place on ungreased
baking sheets or in shallow pie
pans. If you use baking sheets
make a standing rim by pinching
the edge of the dough with your
fingers. To make filling: Arrange
slices of Mozzarella cheese in
crusts. Mix together onion, garlic,
tomato sauce, meat, anchovies, or
mushrooms, salt, pepper and.spread

Someone discovered several years
ago, quite by accident, that having
a chihuahua dog around is benefi
cial to those of us who suffer from
asthma.
It may sound pretty ridiculous,
but the Henry Boyds of 1105 North
Pasteur street are thoroughly con
vinced. Under the circum*itances,
we can’t imagine anyone who
wouldn’t be.
Their three-year-old daughter,
Janice, is a victim of asthma, and
as a result both the tot and her
parents have lost quite a bit of
sleep.
Things have changed for the bet
ter in recent weeks, however, since
Dutchess, a miniature chihuahua,
became a member of the family.
So tiny that a pair of fleas could
tote her off, the 10-week-old puppy
has helped Janice tremendously.
“We can put Dutchess in the bed
with her,” Mrs. Boyd told us, “when
she is having difficulty breathing,
and it not only helps, it knocks
the asthma right out.” Even if Jan
ice is asleep, and has no way of
knowing that Dutchess is with her,
the results are the same.
The Boyds don’t profess to know
how or why having a chihuahua in
close proximity does the trick. They
only know that their little girl has
been helped. Aside from that,
Dutchess makes a very nice pet.
Such dogs, as everyone knows,
were developed in Mexico, and
quite a few New Bernians own one.
They are the smallest breed of
dogs, and weigh from one to six

pounds. Slender and quick of move
ment, they don’t care for cold
weather and are easily chilled.
In fact, they used to be called
“pillow dogs” because some of the
folks who acquired them for pets
let them sleep inside of a pillow to
keep warm. No one is quite sure,
but it is believed that they originat
ed about 500 years ago.
Dutchess is black, but they come
in various colors. .There are two
varieties, the long hair and the
short Jjair chihuahua.
It has long been said that a dog
is man’s best friend. In view of
what Dutchess has done for Janice,
it should be added that a dog can
be a little girl’s best friend too.
