Watkins Diagnosis Methods Included in Film A film produced for the American Medical association and the American Hospital as sociation will be featured on the Jackson County Tubercu lasis and Health association Cattails are Part of Rural Boys' Childhood Cattails have played an im portant part in the childhood of most rural Americans. These tall plants have been as much a part of childhood as stubbed toes or skinned knees. They are about the first plant that boys would identify positively. Its habits and sim ple beauty are evident in swampy areas. Those marshy spots that are homevto the cat tail are alien to most common flowers, for these live in a wet environment. Noise Makers We know the frogs, the noise makers of the marshy areas; we know the tall, green leaves, and brown fruit of the cattails, nodding stiffly on their long stems. Perhaps we have pulled some up, noticed that the nar row leaves wrap around one another, below and above the root. The . leaves are longer than the round, smooth stem that holds the cattail. Early in the spring, the green leaves begin to sprout among the old, dead cattail leaves of the summer before. In September when most oth er plants are gone, the big, brown cattails are seen, wav ing stiffly in the wind. Later they swell and burst, like slender ears of corn. Thus are the seeds scattered. Simple are the flowers, be ing made up of seed producing blossoms, while the light-colored part of the head, above, supplies the pollen. The pollen falls down on the spike to fer tilize it. The plant does not depend on bird or insect, but lets gravity do the polleniza tion. This arrangement is differ ent than in most plants, but it is effective, for the cattail clan continues to thrive. Even in areas, and at times when the roots are dug and used as hu man food, the plant keeps ahead of its tormenters. Cottony Fruit In early America, the cot tony fruit was stripped from the stem and used as stuffing for ticks and mattresses. Boys, as well as men, gathered the brown cylinders, dipped them in kerosene, and carried them, aflame, for torches. In political parades, the celebrants waved the flaming "tails" to cele brate a victory, or to cheer a candidate. Grown now to men, the boys who spotted the cattails can still dimly see this common dweller of the marshes, stand ing in the twilight, along the side of a nearly forgotten road; the old sandy road is now a concrete ribben over which motor cars rush toward the horizon; the night is stabbed with the blinding lights of those cars, yet by the road's edge, in silent dignity, the cattails still maintain their ceaseless vigil.
