In answer to the much-asked question of what to do about wild onions and other weeds in die lawn, a treatment now of 2, 4-D applied as foliar spray is recommended. The amine form of 2, 4- D should be used to avoid excessive drifting to susceptible plants and a wet - ting agent such as the wife's detergent may be added to keep spray from bouncing off garlic leaves. A similar application for the next two consecutive yean: usually will give excel 1e n t control, in addition,this treatment will also serve to eradicate dandelion, plantain and many of the common report u.S. Senator FROM ■lunu. JESSE ★ ★ ■ HELMS WASHINGTON—The deaths of Senator B. Everett Jor dan and my father came within a few weeks of each other. In many ways, they were remarkably similar men, certainly in their ideas about the quality of life, and their enjoyment of it. Senator Jordan spent a few of his boyhood years in my home town of Monroe, where his father was a min ister. I'm not certain about the precise period, but I think it was about the time that my father was beginning his career as a law enforcement officer. It was in December, as I recall, that Senator Jordan paid his last visit to the Capitol. He attended the Senate Prayer Breakfast, and Senator Jim Allen of Alabama was our discussion leader that morning.'" His subject was, "Whatever Happened to Sin?" - SlN—Senator Alien raised the question of whether, in these turbulent times, America has not lost its sense of right and wrong. I recall that Senator Jordan commented, during the subsequent discussion period, that he thought the problem was the result of men and women failing to stand up for what they know is right. I was proud of the Senator's comments. He said that we are too proneToignore and condone sin because we don't want to rock the boat, and be called a "square." Violence and immorality are allowed to go unchecked because it has becdme fashionable to charge it off to "poverty," or to some strange social theory. Therefore, we are not only condoning such misconduct, the tax payers are actually being forced to subsidize it! As a result, nothing is sinful any more. STREAKERS—I, for one, don't think there's anything funny about the so-called "streaking" fad. It's something far more serious than youthful frivolity. In my judgment, college authorities ought to take all the naked students into custody and herd them into a football stadium, un der guard—and then require them to spend the night, naked, until their mothers come and request their release! It might be useful to hose down the "streakers" with cold water every fifteen t or twenty minutes. Similarly, I read in a North Carolina newspaper recently that one of the far-out radio disc jockeys had played vulgar music, containing the rawest four-letter words, in the background while the President of the United States was making a speech on radio. Listeners protested to the Fed eral Communications Commission. The FCC's response was that it "doubted seriously" that anything could be done about it. CONDONE—The point is, hardly anybody is even try ing to do anything about any of the things that we know to., be wrong. Thus, America is becoming a part of what we condone. Call me old-fashioned, or a "blue-nose," or whatever, but I believe there is cause for real concern about our nation's future. I was taught that every American had the right and the duty to reach for the stars. I am unable to under stand how we can reach for the stars when we're lying face-down in the gutter. LETTER—Someone sent me a copy of a letter written recently by a young Raleigh school teacher, Mrs. Janice C. Patterson. Mrs. Patterson was writing the parents of the children in her class, advising that she is resigning. I am resigning, she said, "because Ido not have the freedom to have one minute of silent prayer in our room each morning. I have felt that I needed to have a minute of quiet prayer each day because I knew that I needed God's help. I asked the children to pray in their silent prayer that God would help me to be loving towards them when I feel unloving. I asked them to pray that God would help them to be more loving to each other . "Objections have been made to my use of silent pray er. When I die, I will not face the United States Govern ment; I will face God. Yet I must obey the law, and my conscience leaves me no choice but to resign. I love your children," Mrs. Patterson'concluded, "and I shall never forget them. Always know that I shall prav every day for your child and for every child that I have taught here. May God richly bless you. Goodbye." tions rather than attempt to use complete listings. Mrs. Harry Dunham of Salt ville, Virginia, sent at least two dozen proverbs and "coun - try sayings, " including the fol lowing: "You can't tell by the looks broadleaf weeds. . Naturally, labels should be read and closely followed to avoid dan ger to self and d esirable plants. Recreation Meeting Set Mr. Robert Buckner, North Carolina Department of Natur al and Economic Re sources, will give a film and talk pre sentation relating to the subject of public recreation.

" "Every time a sheep bleats he will lost a mouth full. " 'He is sharp enough to stick in the ground and green enough to grow. " "You can't sow wild oats and expect to reap Sweet Wil liaru " Mr. Lloyd Snead, who sees "Folk-Ways" in the Bristol Herald Courier, adds several sayings plus a riddle: "Listen to a wood chunk burner in cold weather 'tromp the snow.'" "A pig with straw in his mouth is a sign of cold weather." "He feathered his bed (or nest). " "How many sticks of wood do twenty fore sticks and one back stick make?" (21) Mrs. Oma Williams, of Pound, Virginia, also shares from her sayings collection: "You can't expect a person to see eye to eye with youwlen you are looking down on him. " "A chip on the shoulder in dicates there is wood higher up." "A person who trims him - self to suit everybody else will soon whittle himself away. " Friend Edwin Judkins, oi Bristol, Virginia, continues to send folk material our way,mast recently a series of anecdotes which he entitles "Some Moun tain Humor. " P olitics were ever thus. A man living in an older age cane in and announced to his wife, "I have been nominated to run for sheriff and there is one thing about it, nothing can be breught up against me. lam as clean as a hound's tooth. " However in about 10 ..-vs he came *jn with another announcement: "Well, the opposition has ac cused me of stealing a horse and they have proved it too. " An old man had several sons. The sons had treated their fa ther rather badly in his old age. The old man became ill and he told his sons, '1 am on my death bed, and I want all of you to come in a., I have something important to tell you. " When all had arrived, the old man aid "Your mother was a mighty fine woman, but we were never mar ried, and I just wanted to tell you bastards good bye!" A man visited his sick friend and said, "You are mighty sick but I know you are ready to go This angered the sick man and he said, "am not any more ready to go than you are! " A country merchant said about his hired boy, 'He is slow but sure—slow to learn and sure to forget!" Uncle Ned was a mighty coon hunter in his day, but had grown old and so crippled tip with rheumatism he had to be confined in a wheel chair. Goite fall of the year and the hunting season the neighborhood boys felt so sorry for him they deci - ded to take him with them. They rolled him chair and all out in the woods a couple of miles-. At point the dogs treed in a hollow log what the boys thought was a coon, but a big black bear came out. The dogs ran, and the boys ran, forgetting Uncle Ned entirely. After running un til out of breath, the boys slow ed down, thought of Uncle Ned and began to moan, "Poor old Uncle Ned; that bear has eatei him up. " They continued on to Uncle Ned's cabin and there was Uncle Ned sitting on his p
