ver since they came with $24
of trinkets and purchased New
York, the Dutch have played a
part of American history. So much so
that they have left
permanent marks
on the language.
Believe me, you
do not want to
be in Dutch, in
trouble or disfavor.
You could try to
go unnoticed by
changing your look

Of course, such a new "look" may not be
your thing and it might send you to seek
Dutch courage, what you feel as a result
of drinking alcoholic beverages.
If you are "feeling no pain," you may
have a problem entering your home if it
should be sporting a Dutch door. Since
this opens either on the top or the bot-
tom, you could be in for a nasty fall.
Your actions could provoke a friend
to treat you as if he were a Dutch uncle;
and the rebuke you receive, both blunt
and stern, would be for your own good.
The next time you go out with a new
acquaintance, you may consider going

Quotable
"It is the duty of the Jewish leadership around the world to speak out
against racism in any form, even when it emanates from Israel. There
can be no tolerance for elected officials who incite against minorities and
propagate racism anywhere and under any circumstance. Out of a sense
of moral responsibility and credibility, Jewish leaders across the globe
must take a strong and consistent stand against racist policies and values
promoted by the far right in Israel. The disturbing trends that we are
witnessing in Israel threaten to undermine Israel's democratic founda-
tions and are contrary to universal human rights values and basic Jewish
principles."
— Gila Orkin, director of international relations, Association for Civil Rights in
Israel. Quoted by JTA in "Jews should confront racism in Israel, too," June 23.

high and are lowered in increments until
a buyer is found; but how well are you
tuned to waiting for a good price?
May I suggest that you make a nice
dinner. You could prepare something suc-
culent in a Dutch oven. End the repast
with a Dutch apple pie, and you're all
set. To decorate the table, give some
consideration to Dutchman's breeches
(a spring bloom that has pink, double-
spurred flowers) or Dutchman's pipe (a
hardy, woody vine with U-shaped flowers
and a pouch-like base).
Well, the next time you are in the Big
Apple, be sure to pay homage to Peter
Stuyvesant and his ilk both for their great
purchase and the additions to our lan-
guage. El

Conservation Tips
Spring And Summer
• For larger gardens, consider drip irriga-
tion or gray water systems.
• Limit use of power mowers.
• Refuel power equipment in cooler
weather or during the cooler part of the
day.
• Grass roots grow to the same depth
as the height of the grass blades. For
a healthier, weed-free lawn, keep the
blade height to at least three inches.
This shades the grass, preventing weed
growth.
• Once cut, leave grass clippings on lawn
for nutrients. Or add lawn clippings to
compost.
• Plant trees to absorb CO2 and to pro-
vide shade.
• Plant fruit trees and organic gardens.
