O . tlio i ? ■4| , f * . v ? j. i,. « :* v- 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 I iffflE ntiMmm? ARNOLD STANG: One of TV’s ‘ truly, natural comedians. Son of a Boston lawyer, Arnold, after ‘ practicing a serio'osyvole iii “The ,( Raven,” ran off to New York at r tfteßge of 11. On a children's hour, ] fee; ‘-serious” ] Arnold Stang . 0/ cats £ copi voice of “Top Cat” (Wed.-nites, ABC TV), click cartoon creation by Bill Hanna and Joe Barbara, parents of “The Flintstones.” “Top Cat” is head of a Runyonesque mob of New York alley cats who think they’re members of the human rate. Maurice Gosfield and Leo Re Lyon speak for other cats, Allen Jenkins for “Office Dribble,” the cartoon’s harried cop. NEW WORLD FOR MOLLY GERTRUDE BERG: After 30 years as “Molly,” bff to a bright new TV role. She is “Sarah Green,” a widowed grandmother enrolled as a freshman, in “Mrs. G. goes to College” (Wed. nites, CBS-TV).

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 third year as star of the same TV show (“Hennesey," Mon. nites, CBS-TV), an accomplish ment these days in TV circles.

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 ‘ NOTICE OF SALE « IN-Tip, SUPERIOR COURT < NORT* CAROLINA 1 YANCEY COUNTY 1 YANCEY COUNTY, Plaintiff ] ' f- > VB. > t HERMAN PENLAND and wife, s MRS.
