ATLANTA (PRN) - Bob
Aspromonte spent only a
short time as a player for the
Braves, and his contributions
to the team as a player would
probably be considered minor
by most baseball fans. But
Aspro’s presence on the
Braves’ roster may pay
dividends for years to come
since he is credited by Mike
Lum as the man who turned
Lum into a top Major League
hitter.
“ Aspro used to sit by me on
the bench last season and
discuss hitting with me,” Lum
said about the current New
York Met. “We’d discuss
pitchers and methods of
hitting. But most important,
he studied my hitting style
real close when I got to play.
“Aspro told me that I
wasn’t being selective enough
in picking the pitches to swing
at,” Lum continued. “And he
said I was giving myself up too
much and not covering the
entire plate. I’ve tried to
correct the things he talked
about. I pick my pitches
better now and hang right in
there. 1 study who’s throwing
and what he’s throwing; and it
all seems to be working.”
Lum, at age 25, has proven
to be the answer to the Braves'
need for a good centerfielder
this season. Since becoming a
regular in the lineup over a
month ago, he has raised his
batting average over a hundred
points and is now approaching
the .300 mark.
“With luck I think I can be
a .300 hitter,” Lum added. “It
would mean I’d have to be
safe on some close plays, beat
out some infield hits and the
ball would have to take a few
bad bounces now and then.
But I think I’m capable of
being a .300 hitter.
“But I don’t think I can
keep up what I’ve been doing
the last three weeks,” he said
about the streak when he was
hitting nearly .500 for a
three-week period. “I had
three three-hit games in five

Mike is currently the only
Hawaiian-born player in the
big leagues, and that status has
made him somewhat of a folk
hero in his native state.
“Yeah, it’s something when
1 go home,” he said. “They
really know me there. In fact,
a stewardess who lives in the
same apartments that we do in
Atlanta visited Hawaii last
summer. She said she got off
the plane there and got in a
cab, and the first thing the cab
driver asked her when she said
she was from Atlanta was, ‘Do
you know Mike Lum?”
“She answered, T sure do; I
live next door to him.’ ”

ATLANTA (PRN) - Over 6,000 Home Economists converged
on Denver, Colorado last week for the 62nd Annual Meeting ot
the American Home Economics Association. In addition to the
usual array of exhibits, meetings, and banquets the Colorado
Home Economics Association hostesses planned a vast array ot
activities - historically fascinating and hysterically funny.
One tour led us high in the Rocky Mountains to Central City.
Excitement and people filled the streets, preserving much of the
town’s atmosphere from the gold rush days in the 1850 s.
However, in 1971 the gold was mined from the hands of the
tourists.
In the early days, each miner carried a leather pouch and
actually used his gold dust for money. One pinch of dust, as
measured by the bartender, bought a drink. Needless to say,
saloon owners hired their help by the size of their thumb and
first finger.
Paper money was frowned upon even into this decade.
Women’s pocketbooks were discarded not because of fashion
changes, but because the silver dollars had actually worn holes
in the fabric and the weight had loosened the handles.
In the 1850’s a man HAL) to strike it rich in order to afford
to stay out West. Eggs were a dollar a piece! The shacks of those
who did not are long gone, but the Victorian mansions remain.
As we toured a mansion, to my amazement there were many
mortem conveniences - even a vacuum sweeper! It was designed
just like our 1971 “electric brooms” except elbow grease
instead of electricity powered the vacuum crank.
We Georgians were pleased to note that “our own Mr.
Russell” was responsible for the gold wealth in Golorado. Gold
was first discovered in Dahlonega and Auroria. Georgia in 1829.
When those veins ran low, he took his methods and madness to
the Rockies. Thus the lust for riches opened the impassable
mountains to the West.
Those miners and often we home economists have been noted
for our determination, but it was just too much when the singer
dedicated the final song on the evening program, “I Did It My
Way.” “She must know us pretty well,” someone remarked.

The Environment
By David H. Williams
As everyone knows, there is
considerable concern — in
some instances alarm —about
environmental problems. Air
and water pollution, solid waste
disposal, noise abatement and
visual pollution are serious
caicems that affect the quality
of life for all people.
These problems cannot be
solved by government alone but
must be the concern of every
citizen. What can an individual
do to contribute a healthier,
cleaner and more pleasing en
vironment?
T. G. Williams and Neal
Weatherly of our Extension Ser
vice landscape department offer
these suggestions:
First, take a personal in
terest in what’s happening to
the landscape. Practice con
servation and good landscape
design in your own personal
property. Be informed about
community standards as to
cleanliness, visual appearance
and land use. Do not be content
to “let someone else worry
about that.”
Second, join citizen groups
dedicated to good conservation
practices, historical preser
vation, litter control and com
munity improvement. And sup
port youth groups such as 4-H
Clubs and Boy Scouts in their
environmental projects.
Third, support local and re
gional planning commissions in
planning for more effective land
use. Urban sprawl and mixed
land uses are due to a lack of
proper planning.
Fourth, accept the fact that
cleaning up, building and main
taining a more healthful and
acceptable environment will
cost money.
Williams and Weatherly point
out that Georgia is blessed with
ample natural resources and
beautiful scenery. They add,
however that changing agri
cultural and industrial develop
ments, along with changes in
population density, are creating
environmental problems. They
believe that land-use planning,
through the accepted planning
zoning process, is a logical
approach to coping with the
changing patterns in the state —

Azaleas Dying
The first growing season is
critical for survival of azalea
plants. Gerald E. Smith, one of
our Extension horticulturists,
points out that azaleas will
soon die if the soil becomes
too dry. He says gardeners
often assume they are doing a
good job of watering recently
planted azaleas, while in reality
they are only watering the soil
surface.
Smith explains that azaleas
are produced in a loose, porous
soil mixture. This mixture, in
which all of the roots are lo
cated in the beginning, dries out
very fast. So it is important to
water plants individually during
the first year in order to direct
the water where it is needed.
Mounding a ring of soil 12
inches out from the stem of the
plant will also allow you to
keep the water where it is need
ed. That is, directly below the
plant.
The use of a mulch will help
too. It will reduce the amount
of moisture lost from the soil.
Azaleas seem to be one of
the most sensitive plants to dry'
soil. However, wliat I’ve said
about azaleas also holds true
for all recently planted con
tainer grown shrubs.

Gov. Carter met with the

The regional advisors then met

The outer ear, capable of

Oh, the ear! None but God
could plan it and build it.
And the sacred historian
wrote of Him in Psalm 94:9,
“He that planted the ear,
shall He not hear?”
Jupiter of Crete was al
ways shown in statuary and
painting as without ears, sug
gesting that He did not want
to be bothered with the
troubles of this world. But
our God has ears, and He
hears.
How terrifying it is to
know that God hears all our
wicked words. But how com
forting it is to know that
He hears the cries of the
needy. And in hearing, He
helps. No one ever cried to
Him in vain.
