Perennials tend to become too large and so overgrown that the larger plants spread over and smother the smaller ones, and some kinds such as iris and peonies become so crowded within themselves "in four or five years that the flowers be- come smaller and less abun- dant. Furthermore, with so many new and interesting varie- ties to add, and with the real- location of those in the wrong place, renovation soon becomes inevitable.

Halifax won praise for her "'gallant"' ef- fort Thursday night in the bal- let sequence of Ponchelli's grand opera La Gioconda, the second presentation of the Met- repolitan Opera at its new home in Lincoln Center. The opera was a colorful, long and lavish production complete with massive choruses, ballet and hit numbers for the prin- cipal singers, Renato Tebaldi and Franco Corelli. Miss Brayley danced the God- dess of Night and Death in the Dance of the Hours. Ballerina Sally Brayley In Halifax Clive Barnes of the New York |Times writes that Miss Brayley, now in her fifth season with the Met after a lengthy career with the National Ballet of Canada, was a victim of circumstance. The ornate ballet sequence wasn't well-rehearsed, presum- ably because of last week's or- chestra strike, and the costumes as well as the location of some of the scenery hampered the production. At one point in the ballet, Miss Brayley almost fell.

Not that the film industry is tossing morals to the winds. The new code still comes out for "the basic dignity and value of human life" and against vvil, sin, crime, wrong-doing; bru- tality, cruelty, physical vio- lence, torture, abuse; indecent and undue exposure of the hu- man body; illicit sex relations, sex aberrations; obscene speech, gestures and move- ments, undue profanity; de- meaning of religion; contempt of racial, religious or national - ana Awwalter ¢ gicurs; and srucity.te animale The effect of the truncated code will be to give beleaguered code administrator Geoffrey Shurlock more leeway in deal- you have probable made note of several plants you wish to Scrapped |include and have already dugijlawn.

For some plants you will need to dig a hole with a spade; others may be planted with a trowel. Here are a few essential to follow when planting: 1, Prevent roots from drying out by working quickly; avoid placing more the half a dozen plants on the soil at one time. 2. Spread out the roots of new plants when planting if the roois are bunched from pack- ing. 3. Make the holes large enough to take the roots with- out crowding. 4, Set the plants at the depth they had in their previous posi- tion. 5, Work the soil among and over the roots, then make it firm with the feet or hands. 6, Do the planting when the sol is in & good condiiion aid not too wet.

The most important feature of Valenti's announcement this week was the admission that the entertainment. SYSTEM DATED FILMS Hollywood long prided itself in could attend with their children. Such a system became no longer feasible when foreign film makers were showing life in the raw and American adults | were becoming more sophisti- | cated about matters of sex. The} junrealistic approach to drama, jas enforced by the code, gave| Hollywood films a dated, fairy- tale quality. Many industry spokesmen have advocated classification of films, marking some unsuitable for children as many foreign countries do. Valenti's predeces- | sor, Eric Johnston, fought such! ja move, arguing that Hollywoou |should still aim for the family. | Valenti, fearing eventual clas- jsification by the government, jreversed Johnston's stand. The |new code provides that certain films can be released with the tag "suggested for mature audi-/| ences'--to alert parents that such entertainment is not for| tender minds. Film makers reacted favor- |ably to the new rules. | "This is a code we can live) with," said one producer.
