Milwaukee, present, The plant sale is set for May 5. ' "Astrological Garden Plan ning" was the topic of the day presented by Mrs. Frank Osmin. She quoted Bible verses which showed that at least 2500 years ago people believed that the moon as well as the sun affected the growth of vegetation. These beliefs have been passed down not only from one generation to another but also from one civilization to another as the Greeks to the Romans. Al though some people call this "planting by the moon" su perstitious, many others ag ree that it is practical and even advantageous. Besides the sun and the moon one must also consider the signs of the Zodiac in planting, cultivating and harvesting. Some general rules one must consider are: planing must be done in the fruitful sign of Scorpio, Pisces. Tau rus or Cancer; one should never plant anything in one of the barren signs because they are good only for trimming, deadening or destroying; al ways set plants out in a water or earth sign: plant flowers in Libra which is the airy sign and while the moon is the first quarter; crops planted in Taurus and Cancer will stand drought ; and plant all things which yield above the ground during the increase or grow ing of the moon and all things that yield below the ground when the moon is decreasing or darkening There are suggestions and rules for gar dening in this manner in books such as "The Moon Sign Book for 1976 published by "Jewel- Tire Pot Belly Stove By Julie Nelson lyn Co. and gardening calen dars which give day by day instructions for planting, cul tivating and harvesting. Larry Graham played "Wipe Out" on the drums to conclude the 48 hour mara thon. There was a good turn out for Friday nights dance and Sunday evenings potluck dinner. Larry was allowed a five minute break every two hours or the breaks could be saved up and used later, such as he did. Saturday night was a test of his endurance as he had difficulty remaining awake. However after 15 minutes of sound sleep and later on a thirty minute break for a shower and short rest he managed to pull through. Several other unique ways were used to stay awake such as drumming with his left hand and playing ping pong with his right hand. For exer cise he put the drum on a cart and wheeled it around. Also while drumming he was put into the back seal of a car and taken for a ride through town. Congratulations Larry and the crew who helped keep you awake and everyone else who helped with this successful event. Those who pledged can make their checks payable to the lone High School Band and mail them to the high school. SAFARI TO AFRICA IN 21 BKDS After arriving home from a rural and wildlife tour- of Africa did Mr. and Mrs. Fred Martin realize how many beds they slept in which did not include the two nights sleeping in flight. Fred and Helen left Jan. 24 on a 25 day trip for South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania via Buenos Aires, Argentina, covering 24.000 flight miles which took 50 hours flying time. They spent two days in Buenos Aires and visited a cattle ranch. At Cape Town they were Joined for the weeks lour of South Africa by Esther and Nels Anderson, former Morrow County agent for many years. Nels is now serving in Botswana as an agricultural aid for the Mini stry of Agriculture. In South Africa, the group of 22 OregiMiians visited a semi precious stone factory, vine yards, a winery, a hog farm and an Ostrich farm-all operated by white people, laborers were black. The south coast was very rugged with lush vegetation. Encoun tering warm weather 1105 degrees at the ostrich farmi they appreciated the air conditioned bus and made use of the hotel swimming pool. Towns visited in South Africa were Cape Town. Paarl. Wor cester. Audtshoorn. Wilder ncss (a beach resort I. Port Elizabeth. Durban. Johannes burg and Pretoria. As an extra for the Martins, they took a 30 minute taxi ride to lnanda Seminary, outside of Durban, through the black villages. The driver was a w hite woman refugee from the Belgium Congo.

They tad tea with the faculty representing white, colored, Indian and African races. The school of 300 girls was to go into session after the summer recess, the day following their visit. The nine day, 1700 mile, wildlife tour via Volkswagen bus with black drivers and a British guide took them to six lodges, several national parks and reserves in a tourist cir cuit of Kenya and Tanzania of East Africa. Places visited were Amboseli, Lake Man yara, Ngorongoro Crater, Se rengeti, Olduvoi Gorge, Lobo Lodge, Masai Mara Game Reserve and Keekorok Lodge, Lake Nakuru, Mt. Kenya Sa fari Club and the famous Treetops. Riding in four-wheel drive Landrovers into the Ngorongoro Crater over un improved roads proved to be as much of an experience as seeing the numerous wild ani mals, both grazing and carni vora type. They felt very lucky to see a pride of lions at close range feasting on a fresh buffalo kill. The vultures and jackets were waiting their turn. Kenya is also an agricul tural country-growing tea. coffee and pyrethrum (an insecticide) which was of special interest to them. Visits to two open public markets in Arusha. Tanzania and Kara tina. Kenya were fascinating experiences. They passed over the equa tor twice at an altitude of 7400 feet and it was much more pleasant than in South Africa where it had been so hot and muggy. A visit to a Zulu village near Durban and a Masai village near Nairobi were highlights of the trip where they witnes sed four different tribal dan- ' ces. On their final night in Nairobi they visited with Dr. George Muniu. a graduate of the University of Oregon getting his PhD in Political Science. He is now serving his Kenyan government as their Asian expert. Fred and Helen brought back many souveniers as well as plenty of slides which they hope lo share with those interested. And now Helen while you're making your own bed you will have something to remember.
