With the aid of the breathing apparatus the dog has remained submerged with his master for periods up to 20 minutes. (UPI Telephoto) Landscape Clinic Scheduled at OSC Starting Jan. 12 Corvallls - Trees form the backbone of most landscape scenes. And the best way to use trees in home, city, and community landscape projects will be explained at a special landscape design study course at Oregon State college Jan. 12 to 14. Trees can be used to indi cate the walls and ceilings of outdoor spaces where people carry on their outdoor-living activities, according to Donald J. Martel, head of the OSC de partment of landscape archi tecture and coordinator of the course. Trees can do this Job either as single specimens, or as part of a complex composition, he noted. Some trees are shaped so they are most useful In form ing walls, Martel said, while others have widely-branching tops that serve best to Indi cate ceilings. Size, structure, form, texture, and color of trees are the main factors In fluencing their use, he added. Way To Be Explained Ways to use trees will be explained in detail at the spec ial study course, being spon sored by the Oregon Feder ation of Garden clubs, In co operation with the OSC co operative extension serv i c a and department of landscape architecture. Persons attend ing the course will also learn how to prepare planting plans, clear and grade landscape sites, and used paved areas, buildings, and water In land scape designs. The course is open to all In terested persons, regardless of past training or experience in gardening o r landscaping, Martel emphasized. It Is aimed primarily at garden club mem bers, nurserymen, city plan ners, members of park boards, landscape architects, and oth ers who plan or design public or private landscapes, but any person who attends should be able to pick up a wealth of Ideas on ways to Improve landscaping of their own home or community. Fee for the course will be $10. Enrollment forms and more Information about the course can be obtained from county extension offices, gar den club chairmen, or the OSC cooperative extension service, Corvallis.

Med ford So Beautiful, So Deadly -The Water Hyacinth "So beautiful; so deadly" sounds like the title' of a mys tery thriller, yet it aptly ap plies to a flowering plant. One that grows in fresh water and is familiar to everyone who drives a car in the southeast ern U. S. This plant is actually a seri ous illness; a green sickness; a plague which is both beauti ful and dangerous. Man, with all his cleverness and poison chemicals has been "hard put to control or lessen its strength. It is the water hya cinth, the "million dollar weed." The water hyacinth needs only a body of fresh water, the sun, and it actually ex plodes. When climatic condi tions are favorable, the "pur ple flower from South Amer ica grows with reckless and senseless abandon. Like a green plague It spreads Itself across the surface of fresh water lakes and ponds. It car pels and chokes rivers and ponds. No Room for Boats Boat Owners foul the air with abuse as the propellers of their boats are clogged. Navigation on some rivers will come to a complete stop. The growth of the water hyacinth is a chain reaction. From the pretty little plant a runner branches out, another plant springs up from this shoot until what was a single plant becomes a cluster. Very soon the cluster becomes a small island, which rapidly grows until it is a floating mass, or even a continent of green leaves and lavender blossoms. With startling rapidity the blue waters of a lake disap pear under a smothering blan ket. Fish die for want of ox ygen and sunlight, Wild fowl can. find no place to ligni; no open water is left. Rafts of plants break away and float to new areas. Rivers carry in dividual plants to some shel tered cove. There the plant awaits the sun and the chance to grow. The bulbous alr-fllled leaves keep the plant afloat; the dark, dangling roots absorb nutriments from .the water, turn them into chlorophyll and food for t h a growing plant. Outward, Onward Here Is a plant that requires no fixed abode. Water borne it rides the currents, is pushed by the wind, or forced out ward and onward by the ac-j lual pressure of growth. As long as the temperature re mains right the dividing and re-dividing knows no limit. The wotcr hyacinth didn't sneak Into the U. S. like many plant tramps from other lands, it was brought by someone who thought the purple blos soms were beautiful. In its native South America It had nalural enemies that kept It under some semblance of con trol. Her those controls and checks are absent, Ksthotkally, the water hy acinth brings forth a beautiful bloom, bright lavender prlals, each flower delicately dolled with a brilliant yellow cen ter, but economically it is a "blooming terror," a malady of blossoms, a pestilence of planls, that actually has be come a "green sickness."

He would not say how much he paid for it, nor would he identify the seller. He would only say he "paid a good price." Baker sparked a nationwiri. penny hunt last August when he said he offered a bank clerk $10,000 for a 1943 copper penny minted in Denver. (UPI Telephoto) We are always happy to CASH YOUR PAY CHECK!

Mrs. Anna J. - My son and daughter-in-law forced me out of my home. Mrs. Helen J. - She insisted we move in with her. ... - Mrs. Anns J. - What hap pened to me should be a leS' son to other parents. I'm 71 and while I haven't been turned out into the street, I'm not much better off. I've just moved into a cold, frightening home for the aged. Five years ago my youngest son, upon his dis- ciiarge from tne Army, 101a 9C U.S.D.A. CHOICE ROUND STEAK Swiss Steak 79 lb. U.S.D.A. CHOICE RUMP ROAST Completely Boneless! SLAB BACON aVDaJ l&lfct.$3?7. O 0 I nored the word "temporarily" their mother's original olfer. There may be some solace tor Anna J. in the thought that her Initial response to her son and his bride was a motherly, humane one. It en abled her to enjoy, at closer range .than many grandpar ents, the launching of a new branch of her family. And, in view of her age debilities and finances, it may have postponed the day she would have entered the home any way. We advise tha mnhpr hnw. me he and his girl friend were Lv., , Btnn si.,nr,nri h getting married. They planned son and daughter-in-law. Tho lo live in a furnished room. As tw0.fami,y setup was just as niumur, i l-uuiuii t ko uiut- harrl nn tlipm nnrl sho man h So I said they could share my apartment temporarily, until something suitable turned up. But once they were in, they never budged lo seek a home of their own. Now that Helen is expecting her second baby and the home will be more un comfortable for me than ever, I had no choice but to seek admission to an institution. 'm still hoping they'll see they took unfair advantage of me and give me back my apartment. Mrs. Helen J .- At the time Mother J. invited us we would have been perfectly satisfied with a furnished room, but she insisted we move in with her. She didn't think It would look good" otherwise. Well, she couldn't expect lo have her cake and eat it too. Living together, she had our company and extra Income. We took over the rent and food expenses, helped with the housework and tried to add to her comfort. Never once did she mention our mov ing. When we spoke of throw ing out her old furniture and fixing the place up, she not only approved but encouraged us. With our second baby on the way, we cut down on our contribution and asked Moth er J. to chip In toward her own support. This, in addi tion to her annoyance at the crowding and discomforts, made her angry and she moved out. We didn't force her out. She'd be unable, financially and physically, to maintain the apartment her.ielf. But he goes around with her tale nf wo which is completely false. Th0 Cvacll: From lh r- (inning it was mistake fir Anh J. to nia th irKifl frtUire of taking the coup As the "Id Ari found (Hit when he let ths ('smsl's iw' Into his Irnt, tint Aid it!

J's conveniently Ig- appeanng particularly un grateful to her daughter-in-law, who look over as unpaid housekeeper for her. Time and sober second thoughts may remedy this rift. Its cause, after all, Isn't malice but plain human not-very-smart behavior. , West Agrees on Program in Laos Washington-flJPII-The West ern Allies have agreed on a se ries of political steps lo try to prevent a big war in Laos, diplomatic informants said Wednesday. Key features of Hie agreed policy are: -To promote and encourage cold war neutrality by the tiny Southeast Asia kingdom but not to bow to Red de mands to include Communisti in a coalition government. -To press King Savang Vat thana and right-wing provi sional leaders in Vientiane to form a broader government including neutralists and to legally install the new regime, Britain has dropped its insist ence that neutralist Prince Souvanna Phouma, who fled before the battle of Vientiane last month, must b restored to power.
