Backgrounds and Hedges
You Can Grow from Seed
Great interest in ornamental
plants is being shown by Victory
gardeners this year. Many are
planting borders and backgrounds
of flowers to set off their attrac
tive rows of garden vegetables.
Where screen and background
planting is desired quickly and at
small expense, there are annual
plants which can produce both.
Largest of all is the castor bean.
From one small bean can be grown
a beautiful plant eight feet tall and
as much in diameter. The leaves
are large, and of a bronze or ma
roon tone. The Zanzibar strain will
produce plants twelve feet tall, in
suitable locations with plenty of
water and rich soil.
Great bushes four to six feet tall
are grown by the Tithonia, some
times called the Golden Flower of
the Incas, and this is a flowering
plant, bearing 2-inch orange flowers
resembling a single zinnia.
The fine leaved fire plant Kochia
tricophylla, makes a miniature tree
of bright yellow green leaves which
in late summer turn to crimson.
It is even handsomer in its green
than in its red form and can be
pruned to make a low hedge. The
coleus, the old-fashioned plant our
grandmothers delighted to grow in
the house, can be raised from seed
easily outdoors in a variety of bril
liant coloring.
In hot, sunny locations, Amaran
thus tricolor, often called Joseph’s
coat after the biblical story of the
cOat of many colors, will attain its
finest coloring. The inner foliage
is of blackest bronze, tipped with
green, the outer bright scarlet and
gold.
Heavy-leaved plants should be
relieved by those of finer character
in the border. Some of the orna
mental grasses easily raised from
seed are useful for this purpose and
are often seen associated with can
nas, castor beans, or the elephant
ear caladium.
The ornamental grasses, both an
nual and perennial, give excellent
decorative effects. The pennise
tums, pampas grass (erianthus)
and eulalia with green and white
leaves are all attractive.

Average GI
Dreads Move
To Pacific
By HAL BOYLE
WITH AMERICAN TROOPS IN
GERMANY, May 3— (Delayed)— (JP)
—The victory over Germany finds
the average American soldier cu
riously unexcited.
There is little exuberance, little I
enthusiasm and almost none of I
the whoop-it-up spirit with which j
hundreds of thousands of men |
looked forward to this event a |
year ago.
It has been a long and bloody
trail—this 800-mile march from the
beaches of Normandy in less than
11 months. It has drained much
from the men who made it—much
from their bodies and much from
their spirit. They are physically
and emotionally tired.
The destruction of the German
armies came more slowly in this
war than in 1918 when the armis
tice burst with climatic sudden
ness, stunning the world with joy.
This time there has been a series
of capitulations and surrenders.
GRADUAL CRACK-UP
For most units there was a
gradual cessation of combat as
German lines melted into nothing
before them or dissolved in chaos.
That has prevented any mass
feeling of exhiliration such as
swept through the American army
and the American nation at the
close of the last war.
It also has given many soldiers
days or weeks in which to think
—to ponder over problems that
victory in the west brings. And
preeminently they are talking over
one thing:
“Will I be sent to the Pacific?”
They have written the European
war off the books in the army
ranks and the chief topic is what
outfits will be sent around the
world to finish cleaning up the
Japs. You can drop into any front
line mess for chow now and you'll
hear comparatively little talk of
Germany, the Russians, or the de
cline and fall of Adolf Hitler. The
interest centers almost completely
on which outfits will pack up and
leave for the Far East, which will
stay put and occupy Germany, and
which lucky ones will hit the hap
py road that leads to home.
HOMESICK.
It is only truthful to report that
1 a very small percentage of these
! veteran troops have any desire to
i go and fight Japanese. There is
| a great and spreading nostalgia
j for home and peace among the
j battle-weary soldiers who have
I walked and fought painful miles
| from Cherbourg to the Elbe.
Particularly this is true among
older men. Newcomers already are
pretty well resigned to another
year of fighting in another clime.
They feel it's in the cards and
there isn't much they can do but
pick up their tommy guns and
move on to meet the next enemy,
waiting for them hidden behind
the next hill or dug in deep in
the next jungle.
But some older men—those above
30 with wives and children to
come back to — have developed
homesickness in the hour of vic
tory here, a homesickness that is
almost an illness. Many of them
have been in the army more than
four years and have served two to
three or more years overseas.
Some fought in Tunisia and Siciiy
or Italy before coming to western
Europe. They feel they’ve sacrificed
enough for their country—consider
ing that the biggest peril i# over—
j and they’d like a chance to go
j home, pack away their medals and
go back to punching the old time
clock for their families.
FEAR DISEASES
All aren't combat troops, but
you can get almost as tired haul
ing gasoline or patching up the
wounded as you do lying in lox
lloles. At least if you are doing it,
you feel you can.
But they’ll go if they are called.
They are afraid chiefly of new
diseases — elephantitis and bone
break fever and Pacific malaria—
rather than meeting a new ene

my, because they feel sure the
Japs are no tougher fighters than
the trained German SS troops they
have already beaten. <
As one veteran of North Afri
ca, Sicily, Prance, Belgium, Lux
embourg and Germany said with
a wry grin:
“Sure I’ll go to the Pacific. I’ll
go anywhere my old Uncle needs
me, if he needs me that bad. But
they’ll have to cut out all that
saluting. You can’t salute when
you're in a strait-jacket.”

and love, a resting-place for inno
