PAGE TWO-A 1 There's contentment in the evening sky As I sit and reflect on the day Then the stars appear as if by magic, And my dreams like the day, fade away. There'* so much peace and quiet at twilight time, the nicest time of the day. As you sit quietly these summer evenings, you can listen to the song of the locust and the contented chirp of the cricket Now and then you can hear the last notes of a cardinal or the wren, bringing joy to your heart How many at us taka time out for these little things in our busy lives? It was our privilege this past week to be invited to Athol, the lovely did home out on the former Marine base. Since I am particu larly interested in beauti ful old homes, it was a memorable evening to me. Mrs. Elizabeth Gragg now owns this old home, and she Is attempting to restore jt, although it will be a long, tedious task. Already she has don# much work, especially pa the inside which shows much hard work, but a love for hi** toric and beautiful homes. Several colonies of honey bees have invaded the high columns on the front of the house end Mrs. Gregg tells me that they recently got three gallons of honey from just one of these columns. While standing at one of the windows, I noticed a fox strolling non chalantly down the lane and I'm told that they of- Often Thumb Tlpfl It's essier to cultivste be tween rows of vegetables than it is to weed. What's the differ tnct? When weeding you remove en offending plant, roots and all. When cultivating you just cut off the top* with the hoe or cultivator and the roots ere left in the soil. When weeds are tiny, cultiva tion is sufficient to kill them. If they're large, it's best to weed. • * • Calendulas can be sown twice during the garden season —in spring for flowers during sum mer and in summer for fall bloom. Where climate is mild, calendulas are considered win ter flowers. » • • Growing Swiss chard? Har vest the outer leaves when they are from 10 inches to a foot tall —no taller. Then let the inner leaves grow until they reach that same size. In this way you'll have young, crisp greens to eat instead of old, tough ones. • * • Striped end mottled colors are intereeting when they're thoee in zinnias. Peppermint Stick is mtrked with pink, red or purple over e white ground, Ortho Polka also has red or orange markings over yellow ground, and larger blooms. , Persian Carpet has foot-high plants and the inch-and-a-half wide flowers are combinations of yellow and mahogany in many different shades, with the petal tips lighter than their centers. • • * If you have a small family and like pumpkin pie, you may prefer a small size pumpkin to a large one. Spookie is the name of a little one with fruits only 6 to 7 inches in diameter. G^eCkTykr EDENTON BRING US YOUR FILM FOR PROMPT PROCESSING BROAD STREET BULLETIN -by • Kate e ten see deer in their yard. !, But one thing most of all . I loved was the opportun* e ity one has of standing on i either side of the second i floor of the home and be -1 ing able to see the sound r from the windows or the i porches. Many of us can r not live in such beautiful > homes, but how I would l like to live along the i water! r 1 Os course, summertime is my favorite time of the i year, for many reasons— i the main one being that it’s i nice and warm. Another > reason is because of all the bountiful supply of fruits and vegetables. For instance, just today I made a big kettle of vegetable soup, made with all fresh 1 vegetables and it was de i licious. Then, too, we have been enjoying delicious watermelons and canta , loupes given to us by i friends and it seems to me 1 that they’re better this year than ever before. I , was given some apples re > csntly also and I made i some very good apple -1 sauce, the easy way. Just ! wash and quarter the ap ples, remove bruised places ' and cook with Just a small i amount of water until ; mushy. Press through a sieve, add sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg—and I know you'll enjoy it, A FEW HINTS To cut butter In clean slices, place a piece of wax paper over the knife. To cut fresh bread, pais the knife blade through a flame until it gets hot. Douse g sudden set fire with salt—never water. To stop an oven spill from smoking, sprinkle with baking soda. This also keeps the spill from baking and makes the cleaning easier. If a plunger doesn’t get good suction, coat the rim with petroleum jelly. To remove a scorch mark from linen, place it be tween two dampened terry towels and press with hot iron. Use a pail of dry clean sand as a storing place for tools. This will retard rust. To loosen old paint on hinges, screws, etc., soak them in household ammonia for about an hour. Weekend Traffic NEW YORK —Weekends are the most dangerous driving periods. In 1965, more than 40 per cent of all traffic accidents occur red on weekends, according ; to the Insurance Informa i tion Institute.
