Vacation Planning Week Will Start In Carolina On Sunday North Carolina residents were advised this week that thoughtful planning is the key to a success ful vacation. Noting that Governor Sanford proclaimed Sunday as the start of Vacation Planning Week, G. S. Will cox, Jr., chairman of the N. C. Pe troleum Committee, said: , "In designating May 21-27 as Vacation Planning Week, the Gov ernor called attention to the im portant role played by the tourist trade in the State's economy.

E. GARDNER Hardy chrysanthemum! probably give you more color than any other flowering plant you can from. Now is the time to prepare for the late summer and early fall color pa rade. You have three choicei: (1) buy rooted cuttings; (2) root your own cuttingi from the new growth on your plants; (3) divide the root clumps. Chrysanthemums will come back from the same location for aeveral years, but they are usually best the first year. Plant glad corms every two weeks for a succession of flowers during the summer. In the veg etable garden succession plantings of sweet corn and snap beans are in order for the lower Piedmont and Eastern Carolina. Stake and mulch tomato plants. Before mulching, cultivate to de stroy weeds. The mulch should be about four inches deep and can be made of clean grain straw or pine straw. Keep the tomatoes pruned by pinching out the tender ahoots as they form in the axils of the leaves (at the base of the leaf stem). Don't let them get too long before pinching. The iris may be considered as the constant companion of a well planned garden. They grow well in *11 (ectlons of the state and are little trouble. Rhizomes may be divided any time after the bloom ing period until about October in the lower Piedmont and Eastern Carolina and September In the mountains. Be on guard for laoe bugs on si alea, pyracantha, Wanhington haw thorns and rhododendron. Spray with Malathion, mixing with water according to instructions. Do a good Job of covering leaves, es pecially the undersides. This is the growing season and the tine to aee that vegetables, shade trees, flowering shnibe and all growing things are properly fed. Don't over-do the feeding schedule. It is better to feed light ly and often ? rather than infre quent heavy feedings. Fresh man ure is good if you have it De hydrated manure can be purriiased Most of use a complete fertilizer such as an 8-8-8. A special acid forming fertiliser is beet for az aleas and camelias. Plants must be fed with care and understanding. There is no rule of thumb. Frequency and amounts of plant food applied will depend upon the kind of plant and the soil type.

C Band Honors Seniors At Concert The Appalachian High School Band under the direction of Mr. Gaorfe W. Kir* ten presented its Commencement Concert on Tues day night. Kay 10th. This concert, the Band's tact formal one for this school year had a twofold purpose; to honor the entire senior class of Appala chian Hivh School and to serve as one of the band members efforts toward the parchase of new uni forms. which the band sadly needs. Each student was given at least two tickets to sell with the pro ceeds going into the (und for new uniforms, a project under the management of the Band Parents Organization. Some students sold considerably more than their quota; one selling as many as 12 tickets and the ma jorettes, acting as a group sold a total of >80 worth. Through these efforts of the band members from the sixth grade through high school the In itial start of the Uniform Fund now stands at $215. It is hoped that along with this fine effort and others of the band students that several of the in dustrious committees of band par ents and other organizations will soon result in the purchase of these new uniforms so sorely jieeded.
