The Seaforth News, 1959-04-02, Page 3They Get Well Paid For Doing This; Congress can get into debate over almost anything -- even a flower. A recent debate over the corn parative merits of a carnation, a rose, a corn tassel, and even e blade of grass as a national emblem took up two pages in that day's issue of the Congres- sional Record. At least half a dozen senators became involved in the flowery 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 an 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 Beating of New York (wearing one of the free carnations Senator Alloth 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 Ailott's own state of Colorado! Senator Douglas didn't see how anything could be odder than corn. He invited the Senate to come to his office 'where he had a photograph 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 bouglas, 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 might appropri- ately carry the 'rose in its bill, since ` the rose is the national symbol of a number of nations. "Of all things we are seeking to accomplish t. in this world,' said he, one of the foremost 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 torn tassel, "More roses," he ob- ' served grow in Oregon .than in any other state and, unlike -the corn tassel, the rose does not need price support to enable sit 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 this coun- try spend $10 billion a year - $10 billion every 12 months - for the liquid products of corn and some of the other grains." Senator Morton, lone ;promo- ter of grass as a national sym- bol, took a swipe at corn and carnations, impartially. The corn tassel, he said, is not a full, MR, CHEERFUL - Casey Stengel needs no rose-colored glasses to Induce a beatific expression under the combined effects of spring training and the warm sun of St. Petersburg, Fla. But when the Yankees hit the. road flower, but merely the male flower, the ear of corn being the female flower, writes Josephine, Ripley in the Christian Science Monitor, He advised against getting "into any' controversy that is going to lose us the women's vote because of our adopting a, male floweras 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," he continued,. "that our first important re- source is gress, and that our most important resource is the cow. Let us look at the cow, the , foster mother of mankind. Wherewould the cow be, and further, where would mankind b,e but for grass? We are a meat-eatingr 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 Corn." grass . and downgrade corn." , All of which explains -why the United States .has 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 elepected 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,&peaks 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."

How To Cook Those Bass You Catch Like'; the piscatorial poet at. Plainfield, Bob Cary says: Pori -the -grassy flavor Bass'- have in 'em, Never. scale 'ent, 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, who also edits Prairie Sportsman, when he isn't fishing, believes the distasteful part of some bass lies in the skin, others will snort•that it's the skin which gives a bass that "full- bodied" flavor. Truth o4 the matter is, accord- ing to some experts, it all de • pends upon the delicacy, or the individual fisherman's taste, • . What some call a disagreeable ' "mossy or' muddy"' tang, others' find it ah agreeable "wild sa- vor" not obtainable in store- bought 'fish.
