Olive
Barber's
Letter
What started out as a few
isolated cases of lily growing, in
our area, has developed into an
epidemic. It is a disease which
flouts the behaviour pattern of
other diseases. For instance, if
you have pneumonia, well, you
never worry about your feet get
ting congested just because your
lungs are. And you never gel a
stye on your ear; or have ap
pendicitis any where out in your
appendix.
But once you get Infected with
the lily bulb virus, it not on!y
unseats your reason, puts a crick
in your back and blisters on your
hands and spots before your
eyes, but it will -break out in
your window boxes, your lawn,
backyard and even take over
the corn patch. Trees are being
cut down to provide more terri
tory for the spread of the dis
ease. This last iff, to me, the
most ridiculous of all- Why a
man might, with as much sense,
shave his head so he'd have more
room for ingrown toe-nails-
Of course a psychiatrist could
place these bulb besotted right
where they belong in a class
with the psychopaths. Yet I
doubt if he would since, likely,
he too has a lily bulb neurosis.
No longer do people inquire
after each other s families when
they meet. Instead, it Is, "How
are your bulbs coming along?"
They do not even ask if the
other fellow is raising lillles.
They take that for granted. And
a matron meeting last year's
bride doesn t make delicate in
quiry as to her "expectations."
No, the stork business is of minor
Importance. They are less con
cerned over potential presidents
and butter-and-egg men than
they are over potential lillles.
So the conversation is of bulb
beds, not bassinettes; lily fer
tilizers, not baby formulas.
The lillies of the field which
"toil not, neither do they spin"
don't need to. With the masses
working in their behalf, what
call has a lily to sweat. Nor
need they fear their kind will
become extinct-. No lily bulblet
Is allowed to fall on barren or
stony ground- Each one is saved,
guarded, fed a balanced diet and
then urged to produce as many
little blessed events as it can
manage.
So far, I have escaped Illy
bulb infection. Yet take that
field to the north of the house
well drained, open to the sun.
CHILE LOOKS AHEAD
Portland, Ore., Aug. 17 U.R)

gram, which will include the
