' "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

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.

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

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

As an extra for the Martins,
they took a 30 minute taxi ride

The nine day, 1700 mile,

British guide took them to six
lodges, several national parks

Lake Nakuru, Mt. Kenya Sa

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

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

insecticide) which was of
special interest to them. Visits
to two open public markets in
Arusha. Tanzania and Kara

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- '

Nairobi they visited with Dr.
George Muniu. a graduate of
the University of Oregon
getting his PhD in Political

Fred and Helen brought
back many souveniers as well
as plenty of slides which they
hope lo share with those
interested.

making your own bed you will
have something to remember.
