Louis Kates, prominent manufac turer and member of the Union of American Hebrew Congrega tions Executive Board, will speak on the Union and will present a citation to Mrs. De Vera Kaplan in appreciation of her untiring ef forts in behalf of Reform Judaism. Possibly the best-known mem ber of the congregation of Temple Beth El and considered one of its hardest workers, Mrs. Kaplan is the mother of the congregation's •rabbi. There is no phase of temple activity in which she has not par ticipated. Numberless times she has stepped into the breach to help at Oneg Shabbat, to give val uable advice to temple commit tees, and to brighten the lives of hospitalized congregants with flow ers and cards. From the inception of the temple, Mrs. Kaplan has taught the youngsters of the kin dergarten, and visitors to the re ligious school have been impressed by her tenderness as she started the youngsters off on the road to Jewish learning. Mr. Kates will present a special plaque of appreciation to Mrs. Kaplan, and he will tell of tfie many services performed by the Union an behalf of Reform Con gregations throughout the country. 9TH GRADE PROBLEM PORT CHESTER—State author ization for a 9th grade at the Ridge Street School in the Town of Rye starting next Fall may be re quested by the Board of Education of Union Free School District 5.

Garden Club Hears Speaker On Spray Program Results Daniel M. McKeon of Ridgefield, formerly of Chappaqua, spoke on \The Dangers of the Spray Pro gram\ before members of the Chappaqua Garden Club and .their guests at a joint meeting of the Conservation and Civic Improve ment Groups last Tuesday morn ing at the First Congregational Church Parish Hall. Mr. McKeon, long an exponent of organic gardening, told of his personal experience w i t'h the D.D.T. spraying of his farm last spring. Although the U.S.D.A. Pure Food and Drug directives issued as long ago as 1949 stated that the tolerance of D.D.T. in milk is zero and none can be permitted in milk sold by the farmer, Mr. McKeon found that a bottle of milk procured from his herd the day before spraying had no D.D.T. in it, but all milk tested subse quently showed D.D.T. traces even up to that tested Jan. 1, 1958. His cows fortunately were in the barn at the actual time' of spraying but were later turned out to pasture and absorbed the D.D.T. from res idue left on pasture grass, he said. Mr. McKeon was permitted to testify, as were Mrs. Richard Langfelder and Mrs. Marcel F. Fornerod of Chappaqua, at the trial now being concluded on Long Island, where local residents are attempting to secure an injunction against further forced spray pro grams. He had visited the Dan- bury Airport, where planes were based, on the day his farm was sprayed and found considerable evidence of carelessness on the part of the men, who were em ployed by a Lebanon, Pa., firm. Mr. McKeon stated that D.D.T. does not leave the body, once in it, but is cumulative and shows an affinity to fatty tissues, being particularly damaging to the liver. He stated that the gypsy moth is not new to this country and that the state of Connecticut has leg islative to insure spraying of spe cific woodlands where infestation is heavy, as a local control to prevent spreading. He believes that New York and New Jersey should adopt similar legislation which pre vents federal intrusion into the spray program. Natural predators are starlings, field mice and shrews, which help control the gyp sy moth. Mrs. Murray J. MacDonald, Roadside chairman for the Ninth District of the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State, told the group that the Ninth District is organizing an Organic Gardeners club. Mr. McKeon explained that the theory of Organic Gardening can be stated simply as an effort to do everything possible to assist the helpful organisms which are present by the millions in every square inch of soil. It is possible to feed these organisms with nat ural material such as compost that they are healthy enough to throw off most plant diseases. When it is necessary to spray, he advises the use of rotenone products. Mrs. Walter Hutchinson, chair man of the Conservation Group, and Mrs. MacDonald reported on information presented by Mr. Mc Keon at the March meeting of the executive board of the club held last Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Ralph Stowell.
