One of my students received a'
letter from hss mother in New
Jersey this week and asked him
to find out whether or not there
Ss such a plant as “dump plant."
Yes, there is—Dieffenbachia.
This genus of tropical American
plants is a very popular hoLse
plant because of the ease of cul
ture and durability in the home.
Dieffenbachia species are very
similar except in size of plant
and leaf coloration.
Dumb cane (“dumb plant”) is
a very common name for these
plants in their native lands be
cause a person eating a portion
gs the plant will have his vocal
chords paralyzed for several
weeks. In severe cases, all throat
passages inay be . blocked and
serious conditions result.
Everyone who has this very .de
sirable house plant should know
about this hidden danger and
keep the youngsters away from
the plants.
The potting medium should
be high in organic matter but
well drained. One part peat and
one part composted soil is good.
One part peat and one part per
lite (by volume) is also good

new TV role. She is “Sarah

but the peat and soil is probably ,
best. j
Watering is important. Water ■
thoroughly and then not again
until the surface of the medium
is dry to the touch. Over-watering
may cause the plant to rot at the
base. 1 j
_ Dieffenbachias will tolerate a
wide range-, of light conditions in
the house, another reason far
their popularity as house plants.
The best growth of these tropi
cal pladts occurs in a temperature
range of 65-70 degrees. As long
as the temperature does not drop
below 50 degrees, good growth
may be expected.
A parent called me at home the
other nipht all shook-up about
one of the little toddlers eating
pyracantha berries. Obviously, he
wanted to know whether or not
a lethal potion had been consum
ed. The answer was no.
Pyracantha belongs to the rose
family, a large one, and is classed
as a pome fruit, as are also ap
ples and pears.
I would not , recommend that
the toddler be put on a diet of
pyracantha berries unless the
family is holed up in a fallhout
shelter and rations are shorty
“CHICK’S” CLICK *
JACKIE COOPER: Navy medic
“Chick Hennesey,” beginning his

York (1947) after a 3% year
Navy hitch, to learn to act. He

MAN BEHIND THE CAMERA l
ALLEN FUNT: Man respon
sible for TV’s intriguing “Candid
Camera,” back again (Sun. nites,
CBS-TV) with new host, Dur
ward Kirby. After 14 years be
hind hidden cameras, Funt says
most people be
fore the lens
are either 1)
ham actors or
2) “scared to
death.” That is
if they find out
he is filming
them. His job
is not to letl
them know. Al-1
len’s Alibis: If I
a subject be
comes suspi-'
cious of the
lights, Allen
will explain that he is "drying
out new paint”— or will flood an |
adjacent area with even more
light to detract attention. More
often people hear the faint whirr
of the hidden camera. Then he’ll
remark, “Oh, that’s just the air
conditioner. You know,” saya.
Funt, “They’ll usually settle for
that, even when there is no air'
conditioner.’* i
