The solution, however, is not in rebellion against all authority, which only leads to anarchy. Vocal or violent dissent most often only compounds the problem. Gary and his many young friends from the Weston area expect to be among the many hundreds of volunteer workers who will contribute to the successful organization of the four day Witness gathering. Among the many duties to be perâ€" formed, much of which will be cared for by youthful delegates, will be sweeping, cleaning, kitchen duties, guides and attendants. All agree that the gathering could not possibly function smoothly without willing workers guided by respected authority. _ Respect for properly constituted, deserving Gary will be one of 100 delegates from the Weston congregation who will attend the fourâ€"day Divine Rulership district assembly of Jehovah‘s Witnesses scheduled for the Fort Erie Race Track, July 13 to 16. It is expected that a very large portion of the ten thousand persons expected to attend will be made up of teenagers. He continued, ‘"Most of us were born into an atâ€" mosphere that just does not accept authority; in fact, authority has almost become a bad word. It just doesn‘t sit well. Rebellion is no longer the exclusive badge of the revolutionary. Authority is undermined in every conâ€" ceivable way and often this is just the silent, destructive defiance of authority by plain ordinary citizens." "Let‘s forget about each one doing his own thing and for a constructive change, let‘s each one help his neighâ€" bor do the right thing. That‘s what this assembly is all about."

Don‘t feed your plants a bread and water diet â€" feed them steak and salad. Then sit back and watch them grow. ‘"Most garden plants look terrible in poor soil. Many will die. The truth is, they were bred to be fed. Just as farmers fertilize their crops frequently, you should feed your garden. Because â€" it must be obvious â€" the food in the soil gets used up. This applies to vegetables, trees, shrubs, flowers and lawns. They all need feeding every year. ‘Now different plants need different types of food. Plants that flower heavily (like _ geraniums _ and petunias) need lots of phorphorus. Grass needs lots of nitrogen. "‘Your garden and lawn should get a good thorough soak once a week.
