For Doing This!
Congress can get hate debate
over almost Anything even a
flOWer,
A recent debate over the cons,
parative merits of a carnation,
a rose, a corn tassel, and even a blade of grass as a national
emblem took up two pages in
that clay's issue of the Congress
atonal Record.
At least half a sloeen senators
became involved in the flower'
debate, It all began when Sena-
tor Allott of Colorado proposed
adoption of the carnation as the
national flower,
No rose man was going to
take that sitting down. The corn
tassel bloc was swinging wildly.
Grass had ap ardent Supporter
from the blue grass state.
The carnation, exulted Sena-
tor Allott, "grew wild on the
hills of Greece before the birth
of Christ." Senator Keating of
New York (wearing one of the
free carnations Senator Allott
distributed throughout the Sen-
ate, but true to the rose) could
not let that pass. .
The rose, said he, could be
traced back 33 million years on
this continent, through fossils
found in Senator Allott's own
state of Colorado!
Senator Douglas didn't see
how anything could be older
than corn. He invited the Senate
to come to his office where he
had , a pho_tograph of a Mexican
piece of sculpture "of approxi-
mately 1100 A.D. in which the
ears of corn • , . are almost as
large as the normal ears of corn
today."
Senator Morton of Kentucky
had the last `word, however, as
he triumphantly reminded his
colleagues that "it was grass
that was Mentioned first in the
story of creation."
As in all debates, it was not
long before ,verbal thrusts were
sharp. After all, suggested Sena-
tor Douglas, a rose may be beau-
tiful but it is at the same time
a symbol' of war. Well, at least
one war between the houses 'of
Lancaster and York.
On the -contrary, suggested
rose spokesman Keating, the
dove of peace mightt. apprepei
ately . carry the rose in its
since- the rose is the ,national'
syinleal of a number of nations,.
"Of "ells things; we are seeking
to accorraplieh in this . weed,"
said he, "one of the fbremost is
a closer relationship With' our
friends and allies. So, perhaps
the adoption Of the rose as the
national •flower would tend to
effect closer relationships."
Senator Neuberger of Port-
land, Oregon, the Rose City,
came up swinging wildly at the
corn tassels "More roses," he ob-
eerved grow in Oregon than in
ma', other state and, unlike the
corn tassel, the rose does not
need price support to enable it
to flourish."
Senator Byrd of Virginia,
singularly silent about the ap-
pleblossom (he is one of the
biggest applegrowers in the
state) also let the corn tassel ,
have-, it.
He said he had "no relatives
who are members of the anti
Saloon League, but the organi-,
zation might well have good
reason to become concerned
about the matter, since it is a
fact that the people of pislcoun-
trY spend110 billion a year —
$10 billion every' 12, Months
for the liquid products .of corn
and some Of the' Other graina."
Senator Morten, 'lone promo-
ter of grass as national sym-
bol, took a swipe at corn: and
carnations, impartialfy The corn
tassel, he taid, Is not a full
flower, but merely the male
flower, the ear of corn being the
female flower, writes Josephine
Ripley in the Christian Science
IVIonitor.
He advised against getting
"into any controversy that is
going to lose us the women's
vote because of our adopting a
male flower as the national
floral emblem."
As for the carnation, Senator
Morton said he bore it no ma-
lice. "It is a beautiful flower.
From the aesthetic standpoint,
it serves as a thing of beauty."
However, he observed that he
had "not been able to find that
it makes any great contribution
to the welfare of our nation, or
that it is essential to our eco-
nomic survival in this troubled
world."
Grass, on the other hand, said
the Kentucky *senator, waxing
lyrical "sustained' the buffalo
. . : feeds the lowing cattle, the
gentle sheep, the patient horse.
"I point out,,"continned,
"that our first iinPorthnt i re-
source is gresae and that, our
most important resource is the
cow. Let us look at the cow, the
fester mother of b mankind,
Where would the cow be,and
further, where' would ' Mankind'
b,e but• for grass? We are, a
meat-eating people. How could
we ,satisfy our national hunger
fOr meat if it were not for
grass?"
-Miffed, the senator from Illi-
nois rose to say that he felt, "It
ill behooves the senator from
Kentucky to try to upgrade
grass and downgrade corn."
All of which explains why the
United States alas never adop-
ted a national flower. But the
senators will have another go
at it in May when the Garden
Club of America are sponsoring
a •forum on the selection of a
„national floral emblem in the
Senate caucus room.
Petals may be expected to fly
as Senator Allott defends the
carnation, Senator Douglas the
'corn tassel, Senator Morton roots
for the blue grass, Senator Scott
of Pennsylvania lauds the rose,
and horticulturist Walter Bur • -
pee speaks up, for the marigold,
Two tramps were sitting at
the ,roadside when one remark-
ed:
"I'm a man who 'never took
advice from anybody."
"Shake," said his companion,
"I'm a man who took advice
from everybody,"
This Race Was
"One For The Book"
There was all the usual pre-
big race excitement as the run-
ners lined up for the start of the
1946 Thousand Guineas, They
were already under starter's or-
ders, and the. crowd was tensed,
waiting for the "off," when one
of the horses lurched forward
into the starting gate.
The onlookers gasped as they
saw the apparatus catch the
jockey under the arms and lift
him off, His riderless mount sped
away down the course.
For a second no one moved.
Then the cry 'went up: "It's the
King's horse!" And indeed it
was. Hypericum had done it
again and 'thrown her 'jockey,
Doug Smith.
Some horses are born with a
personality that gets them
known even to non-racing •folk.
Perhaps the, outstanding exam-
ple was. Brown ,Jack., Tielly , the
cartoonists,' delights Was another'
popular favoinife: Hypericum
may not 'lave in,g'itecirting; histOty
other ;than as the' first Classic
'winner bridlayei),threi" late `,'King'"
,George
,
VI; but she certainly fiad,
a way of her Owra ,
Her trainer, Capt. Boyd-Roch-
fortesaid of Sher: "She is as grand
filly, with plenty of pluck. But
'she is -also strong-willed."
It` was obvious that she liked ,
racing, but it was equally obvi-
oats that she had to be "in 'the
mood," for one of her. playful
habits was to throw whoever
happened to be riding her. It
was reported that everyone who
had ' put a leg across her had
been flung off at some time or
other,
She was by no means bad-
tempered and usually would al-
low the jockey to mount withotit '
fuss.• But there were odd occa-
sions when her sense of mischief
took control. One of them was
when she was lining up for the
Guineas, the most important race
of her career 'to date.
There had been no hint of
trouble and then, suddenly, she
dashed into, the, tapes, unseated'
her jockey, and was away.
The next few minutes produc-
ed one of the most fantastic',and
most hilarious scenes racing has
known.
• Immediately The crowd "came
to" there were cries of "Catch
her!" Boyd-Rochfort's assistant
and a stable lad commandeered a
near-by' car and set off in put-,
suits
now Hypericum had left
the course and, was going strong-
ly across the Heath' in the direc-
tion 'of her home stables, three
miles away, mane and tail flying.
Meanwhile, jockey Dou
Smith had • picked ,himself up,
a little bewildered, but unhurt.
With commendable speed, arn-
butane° attendants, reached him
and prepared to take him 'to the•
first-aid room. , •
But Smith was anxious to get
on with the race. "Alter hers"
he cried, and jumped into the
arnlettlahce.

ISSUE 13 — 1959
' • ',Tit'
mally, When she went hack to
the stables after exercise tJle
Heath was deserted. To-clay it
was crowded with people and
cars and her route lay through
the car park!
Almost before she realized it
She was in among tno ears, and
was trapped in the maze, Her
gallop slowed to a trot, and then
she pulled pp. $he accepted the
situation Meekly When a man
got out of a car parked• a few
yards away, came across,, , and
grasped her bridle, patfing her
neck soothingly,
A few seconds later the', com-
mandeered car arrived, .drying
the trainer's assistant and the
stable lad.
The lad mounted Hypericum,
who this time offered no resist-
ance at all, and set off hack to
the starting post,
They had not gone far when
the ambulance appeared, Bys
standers who had not seen the
events at the start and expected
the vehicle to contain a casualty
were surprised to see the unin-
jured jockey jump out and take
ever from the stable lad.
Hypericum had already gal-
loped a mile — the distance of
the race — and now Smith can-
tered her back to the start. Bet-
ting, which had practically come
to a standstill, was now getting
brisk again, and the price of-
fered for the King's filly length-
ened considerably. Nobody
thought she could possibly win
after her gruelling gallop.
At last everything was ready
once again, This time Hyperi-
cum behaved herself, the tapes
flew up, and the field was away.
So far as the crowd was con-
cerned, there was only one horse
in it, the odds-on favourite, Ne-
olight, ridden by Gordon Rich-
ards. For all their feelings of
loyalty to the King, they could
not support his horse after that
escapade, and Hypericum was
quoted at 100-6.
But this adventure of the
• King's ,filly would not qualify
for inclusion ainong the fantastic
stories, of sport if it were merely'
the story of horse that ran
away.
For the truth is that Hyperi-
cum, tor' all 'her, galloping, easily
.0 out-stayed the favourite and
won. It was a reversal of the
"form shown' "13Y same 'two
animals in •a race a fortnight
preVibilsif when Neolight had
pulled away in the closing
''stages.
This time Hyperictim, despite
swerving, in stile" dater stages of
the race, drew away in the last -
two hundredeyards to win com-
fortably by-1y lengths.
So that hectic dash by car and ,
aniblalatice had proved worth
while; for the prize amonnted
to over £7,000. Perhaps it is a
fitting epilogue to add that ,when
Hypericuin finally returned, to
the starting post she completed
s ,a field, of „thirteen runners!
How To Cook Those
BaSs •Yoa Catch
t .
Like the piscatorial poet ,at
Plainfield, Bob Cary says:
For the grassy flavor
Bass have in 'em,
Never scale 'em,
Always skin 'em!
And there you have the Start
of a first class hassle!
The hassle being: Just how do
YOU class hassle!
The hassle being: just how do
YOU like your 'bass?
While Cary, 'svho also edits
Prairie Sporraman, when he isn't
