Many garden plants make
excellent borders for the more
conventional ornamentals.
Asparagus spears may be used
for the table in early spring
and the remaining ferns make
an excellent summer back-
ground for flowering petunias,
zinnias and annuals.
In addition to its beautiful
purple-blue flower, the large
artistically designed leaves of
the globe artichoke make it a
beautiful foundation plant.
The delicate foliage of the
carrot make an excellent bord-
er tx> place in front of taller,
flowering annuals. Beets,
swisschard and curly leaf mus-
tard could also be used in this
way.
Garden plants make good
cover for those nongrass areas
of the yeard. Melons, cucum-
.....*DI
bers, pumpkins and waterme-
lons can all be used to do some-
thing different with those hard
to cover spots. These plants all
require lots of sunlight. Acorn
and butternut squash make
good temporary ground cuv&u
in these areas also.
So be different. Dress up
your yard as well as your table.
And besides, what would taste
better than vegetables grown
in you own flowerbed?

The weekend in Chihuahua City was up to expectations,
despite the long haul to Presidio to catch toe train anu Uio
longer drive home when Kathryn Millwee and I were so
sleepy and tired.
As usual on a tour, other than sightseeing and business, we
had the diversity of personalities as one source of enjoyment
and we had the scare? thrill? of Mexican bus drivers who told
us they had to watch out for these crazy Mexican drivers.
Enroute to La Estancio Ranch about 85 miles from Chihua-
hua City which took us through the Mennonite Settlement I
wondered briefly about Kathryn's generosity in offering me f
the seat by die window. After the first decline, going a hundred
miles an hour, and wondering if we'd make the sharp curve
in the descent, I knew. She’d done more traveling in Mexico
than yours truly.
To divert the attention of apprehensive passengers, (the lew
observant ones riding in front) Roberto, our Big Bend Travel
guide, told the story of how two priests were waiting in line
to be admitted inside the pearly gates. Saint Peter reached
around them, cordially invited a Mexican bus driver to come
The priests protested, saying they were next in line. Saint
Peter told them, "This bus driver is welcomed! He’s scared
the hell out of more people than you two priests combined I
We all felt better when on the return trip two or three pas-
sengers from the second bus rode with us, assuring us our dri-
ver was much more careful than theirs.
Graciousness and a leisurely pace for the tourist is the key-
note of visiting in Mexico. It's such a switch that one should
have at least two weeks to get the full benefit of a vacation
there.

Everybody wants to do something big
once in nie life.
It’s just that most people don’t have to

and swap her for a gun to do it

At the bottom of the ballot you receive for voting in the
Democratic Primary Saturday there is a For and Against block
for the following Statement:
No public school student shall, because of his race, creed
or color, be assigned to, or required to, attend a particular
school.
The sentence isn't punctuated on the ballot as I did It.
Mine may be incorrect, but it reads a heck of a lot clearer.
The second sentence is the explanantion for bringing the
- hole subject up in the first place.
I'm voting For—because that's the wishes of this particular
ter. Not that the decision affects me or my grandchildren
w. but the impractibility of busing, overcrowding scnoois,
ridiculous.
One has to vote For to be Against as usual, because of the
bbly-gook translation. If you are Against busing, vote For
id vice versa.
The vote is merely an opinion of the voter, a referendum
ught by representatives of the Democratic Party.In this way
ur Demo representatives will know how the people they re
esent stand on this particular issue, vote accordingly if and
hen needed .Anyway, that is in the book method.

And the news related about Brent Barry’s fall where he broke
s arm reads much clearer than this.
Some souls can't read, then called Mike Barry anyway to
■e if he had broken Brent’s arm while punishing him.To
lose who think negatively from their own experience, appar-
itly.we report that Brent broke his arm in a fall from a pick-
3, a normal accident that happens quite often to children.
And on the bright side, Lucian McCoy heard from a buddy
e’d served with in World War II in the South Pacific, assign-
d to 232nd Anti-aircraft, USAF. He'd seen Albert Cannon in
Duth Carolina two years ago for the first time in 23 years
hen the group held their first reunion, and now Cannon’s son
; stationed here with Remote 33, USAF.
