"The breaking of close ties, both at the college and at Port Caddo Baptist Church are not easy," Mr. Thompson stated. He was music director at the church for nearly five years. His decision to move to Canada resulted from a campus mission a year ago last spring when he felt led to pray for God's will in his life.

Opportunity opened and he spent six weeks in Canadian missions. After returning to ETBC for the second summer session, he and his wife began corresponding with the Southern Baptist foreign mission board, asking for help in being located as missionary associates. In April of this year Mr. Thompson was asked to return to Canada to help in the work there and after finals in May he traveled to Canada for a busy six weeks. He attended a Canadian Southern Baptist Youth Retreat at Banff, Alberta, a pastor's retreat and Baptist study at Sarrento, B.C.; a Vacation Bible School Clinic in Saskatoon, taught Bible classes every night for four weeks and preached every Sunday.

"While there I felt God's leadership again as I was called to be assistant pastor," he related. Southern Baptist work is fairly new in Canada. No Southern Baptist missionaries are there.

A Garden Guide Yellowing Plants If ornamental plants around your home are yellowing between the leaf veins, iron deficiency in the soil is the likely problem. According to Dr.

William Welch, extension landscape horticulturist at Texas ASM University, iron deficiency causes leaves of ornamental plants to become light green, yellow or white between the veins. Iron chlorosis, as the condition is called, also causes the needles or scales of conifers to turn yellow. "The more severe the deficiency, the paler the color," notes Dr. Welch. "In extreme cases, the plant turns brown and eventually dies." Even though soil may contain sufficient iron, high pH or excess lime in the soil may prevent the iron from being available to plants, points out the agent.

Where iron is deficient, iron chelates or organic compounds containing a soluble form of iron may be applied to the soil or plants. Ferrous sulfate, also called copperas, is one such organic compound. These supplemental materials are available at most garden supply stores. The landscape horticulturist emphasizes to apply iron at the first sign of a deficiency. Iron-containing materials can either be worked into the soil around the base of the plant or be dissolved in water and sprayed onto the foliage.

Follow the manufacturer's directions and suggested rate of application. In severe cases, plant recovery will be slow following applications. Soil conditions which block the availability of iron may also have similar effects on other elements. Soil that delivers less than adequate zinc may promote weak terminal growth. This "witches-broom" type growth may be thin and short.

Zinc deficiency shows up often in pecan, peach, plum, flowering quince and apple trees as well as in pyracantha. Plants with zinc deficiency will also have light green to yellow leaves that are small, distorted or puckered. Small dead areas may appear on the leaf margins and fall out to give a Jagged appearance. Zinc sulfate or zinc chelate applied at the manufacturer's recommended rate will correct zinc deficiencies. Homeowners are reminded that other factors may bring on symptoms in plants similar to those of iron or zinc deficiency.

Either over-watering or drought may cause yellowing of a foliage of certain plant varieties. Heavy or compacted soils also cause yellowing, as do infestations of mites or leaf-hoppers. Insect infestations actually give a plant the appearance of iron chlorosis. For these reasons, examine the plant carefully for things that might be causing the discoloration before buying and applying either iron or zinc, he emphasizes. For further information about iron deficiency and soil pH problems with ornamentals, contact the county extension office.

Two pamphlets that are available are L-1M, "Soil Reaction (pH) Ranges," and L-435, Iron Chlorosis." BECKVILLE The home of Mrs. Bill Rains in Beckville was the setting, for a miscellaneous shower honoring Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hightower. She is the former Miss Betsy Johnson of Shreveport.

Co-hostesses were Mmes. Cynthia Thomas, Judy Leslie, Doris Rains, Dean Metcalf, Ailene Rogers and Ann Rains.
