He mentioned that Russia Is a land of contrasts, saying that despite the fact the USSR put Sputnik into orbit, the women still sweep the streets with crude brooms and on their construction work, boxes with handles nailed on are used instead of wheelbarrows. Dr. Mayfield spoke of col lective homes, in use of iden tification cards and of the edu cation of the small children in kindergartens and camps. He said the Americans moved around freely except in military installations and pri vate homes; the people were frank and friendly and were open in discussions. Censorship is strict, he said, and there are no American newspapers or magazines available. The educator also talked of working conditions, the ab sence of Juvenile delinquency, the fact that women travel everywhere in complete safety and that petting is never per mitted In public places. There is a stricter moral code in Rus sia than in this country,. Dr. Mayfield said.

Garden Expert Discusses Seedlings and Weedlings By EDNA KING MANDEVILLE As most gardeners know, distinguishing flower seed lings from weeds is a matter of great importance. One seedsman has solved the prob lem by putting pictures of the seedlings on the back of each packet Here are a few tips to help you grow the seed lings and kill the weedlings. When you plant in rows, make certain they are well defined and straight, with stakes at each end. Or, if you'd prefer to do without stakes, mix a small quantity of radish seeds with the flow er seeds. The radishes germi nate fast and mature quickly, showing exactly where the row is. It might be a good idea to mix a few extra at each end. In three or four weeks the radishes will have served their purpose and can be harvested - and tossed in the salad! Now, simply trace a straight line between the stakes (or down the line of radishes) with your eye and you'll at least know where the seed lings should be. Plants out side this line will almost cer tainly be weeds, with the ex ception of a few from flower seeds which may have been washed out of place by a heavy rain. Then turn your attention to the row itself. Study the plants near the end of a row until you find those that appear only in the row and not outside of it. They may be of a slightly different color or shape from the gen eral growth in that area. These will be the flower seed- lings. Remember, though, that if you're planting a multi colored variety like snap dragons, the flower seedlings themselves will vary some what in color. Watch Leaves Still another rule to remem ber is that most all flowers you plant are dicotyledonous, which means they will have two seed leaves. There are dicotyledonous weeds, too, but crab grass and members of the onion family are monocotyle donous or single-leafed when they sprout. Therefore, any single leafed seedling can safely be destroyed. By all means do not be overly alarmed if your first check reveals no flower seed lings. Unfortunately weed seeds often germinate before flower seeds. If no flower seedlings have appeared, cul tivate the earth between the rows but be careful not to dis turb the area where the seed lings should appear. Check again in a week's time for flower seedlings, and in the meantime don't worry about any weeds that may have ap peared in the rows them selves. These can be pulled from the moist earth quite easily when they are an inch or two high. Weeds are easiest to kill when they are small, and the sooner they are killed the less they will compete with your flowers. If you've planted your seeds in rows, it is rath er easy to use a hoe or a hand cultivator to eliminate the Camp Fire Gir For Mother-Da Rogue council of Camp Fire Girls held a mother-daughter tea Sunday at the Girls Com munity club with approxim ately 230 mothers and daugh ters attending.

If the seeds have been planted broadcast, weeding among the seedlings must be done by hand, at least the first time. Later you can use a hoe or cultivator, and two or three additional weedings should take care of things. It is especially import ant to destroy the weeds be A single weed allowed to grow can produce a lot of seeds to add to next year's gardening woes. Another hint: use garden shears to cut out the larger weeds, so as not to disturb the roots of your flow ers. Space Needed One thing to bear in mind always is that your flowers need a certain amount of garden space if they are to receive necessary moisture, food and sunlight. Without this space, the flowers must fight a battle for survival with weeds and other flowers, a battle that may leave them scarred for the remainder of their short lives. Perhaps the most difficult competition your flowers face is from the flowers them selves. Many gardeners are simply unwilling to thin out the seedlings in order to pro duce blossoms of maximum size, but it is something that must be done if you are to appreciate the full beauty of your flowers. Most seed pack ets give complete information about ideal spacing of the plants. While large masses of blossoms can be produced by close spacing, quite often the gardener prefers wider spac ing to produce specimen plants and flowers of maxi mum size. For example, a plant that will be 24 inches across at maturity should be thinned to 16 or 18 inches for masses of flowers, and 22 or 24 inches for specimen plants and maximum size. Thin In Stages Thinning should be done in stages. If the plants have come up fairly well spaced (one to three inches apart), the work can be delayed until they are two or three Inches tall. However, if the new seedlings come up looking like the hair of a dog, they should be thinned immediate ly by removing large numbers of them. At this first thin ning, plan to leave about twice as many plants as you will want to end up with. This is good insurance, and enables you to select the best plants at the final thinning, which should be at the time the plants begin to touch one another. During your first thinning, be careful to insure a well balanced mixture of colors when the plants bloom. For example, when thinning snap dragons do not destroy all seedlings with reddish stems and leaves or you will be re moving all your red, scarlet and purple plants, leaving Just the lighter colors. Remember, besides provid ing a garden that is a joy to you and everyone who sees it, weeding and thinning can Is Hostesses ughter Tea Camp Fire guardian, was com mentator.

Dislikes Scandal Mrs. Luce, the first up, found a lot she liked about the press-before she recited what she disliked including its "greater" interest in re porting "crime, sex and scan dal ., . amusement and tripe" than in printing the "truth about great national figures, policies and issues." Miss Mannes began by de scribing Mrs. Luce as a "dis tinguished Republican while I am a distinct Democrat." It was just one of the many barbs she worked in, as she compared the press to tele vision, which she pointed out, "I have been criticizing pret ty unsparingly for the past eight years." She charged the ews med a generally with "intense partisanship " and often "rabid bias." In answer to one question concerning television and its recent scandals, Mrs. Luce re minded Miss Mannes that the air waves were owned by the whole people, while newspa pers were private enterprise. Miss Mannes replied that newspapers owned another privilege-to "tell the truth." One of the editors asked Miss Mannes what she thought of the news weeklies-Mrs. Luce's husband owns Time, Life and Fortune. Miss Mannes answered to the effect that "often the longest dis tance between two points is from the field report" to the finished product. The editors proved to have a sturdy sense of humor. Tak en neatly apart by the ladies, they laughed at the barbs, applauded often. Felix R. McKnight of the Dallas Times-Herald sent a note up to the speaker's table, addressed to Miss Mannes.
