Spring is the :eason of flump ing interests. One begins to look carefully, at the yard and premis es, at the home both exterior and interior at heme furnishings and at the family's wardrobe. Spring seems to be the time for evaluating, deciding what is worth salvaging, what the family income will allow for new purchases or re novation and how much family members are able to contribute to ward labor, thus, stretching the in come dollars. RIIGHT NOW is the time to take a "long look" ai the yard premises and the outside of the house. Get off far enough and look at it thrtugh the eyes of the passer-by the stranger, whose only opinion of the family living there is what he observes from the highway. If your home is located back away from the highway, the front entrance to the home literally be- : comes yottr front door. This en- ! trance will reflect your housekeep- ! ing habits, it should be neat, at tractive and inviiing. ? j Landscaping also plays a vital par! in this. Trees and shrubs add that touch out some knowledge of i landscaping needs to be applied. Suggested landscapping plans and : the maoy varieties of greenery adapted to North Carolina are list- ! ed. But how about a dogwood somewhere. someplace in the yard? Every body should have a dogwood tree. But whatever your preference, do something! It will give you a lift and have a good im pression on the travelling public. A part of this entrance view includ es the mail box. The mail box should be on a good post painted white and with the owners name in black letters at least an inch high or perhaps you would rather buy a name plate which can be attached to the top of llie mail box. A "good looking" mail box is an added attraction to your prop erty but it is also a nccessary convenience both to the postman and the travelling public. If you step back and appraise jour property you may sec a paint joj, guttering or chimney repair, steps in need of repair or many other obvious improvements. To you these may be major but do not overlook the improvements mention ed above or the other buildinas such ss barns, animal sheds or lots j where animals are kept. They can stand a "new look" too. These buildings should be screened off from the house and definitely in (he background. Trees not only serve this purpose but produce shade for the aninjals from the summer heat. As one travels along the highway have you ever noticd how entire communities look neat and orderly indicating personal pride of own ership? Someone has said that Farm and Home Improvements are just like the measles, they are contag ious! If you doubt this, lead out in this project and see how fast your neighbors catch on. It is the American way to w&nt to keep up with the Jones and in this project who cares if someone wants to set a pace for the Joneses? Farm Questions QUESTION: When do I start treatment {or gray mold rot on strawberries? ANSWER: Early. This disease occurs frequently In North Caro lina: under cold, wet renditions it becomes highly destructive. It af fects both green and ripe strawber ries and sometimes affects the en tire plant. It can be partially con trolled by using a 50 per cent cap tan spray? two pounds to 100 gal Ions of water. Or you can us? 7.F per cent captan dust at the rate of 30 to 40 pounds per acre. Apply either duM or spray at oue week intervals from the time plants start to grow actively in the spring until three days before harvest. Blueberries from Bladen County. N.

You don't have to make this aa laborate surprise: simple addi ions do the trick. Planning a supper around roast urkey? You may wish to offer weet potatoes in some form. You nay also want a green vegetable nd a salad. But if you also add, s we sometimes do, a platter of mushrooms stuffed with deviled am, you'll find your menu will gain eal interest and delight your SCHOOL AND f YOUR CHILD By JOHN COREY Dou you force your child (o cheat in schools? Many parents militarily demand 'heir "Juniors" to bring home top grades, yet permit them to engage in numerous side interests, such as school band, athletic teams, scout- 1 ing. clubs and TV. High marks require considerable I outside study. Most students -even I -Tighter ones find there's not i ercugh time for this and extra acti vities too. To relieve parental pressure and at the same time continue the highly valued activities. many "udents copy each others' home ork, ex-hspge information during tests ? in short, cheat for the marks Mamma and Papa require. " 'Cr jibing" is prevalent in schoois throughout the country and practic ally every child has been guilty at o.ie time or another." contends Dr. Roy R. Blan'on, principal of the Appalachian State Teachers College rjemonj/traticn high school at Boone,, N. C. Ironically most of the cheating is done not by slower pupils trying to pass but by the brighter ones gunning for "A's" and "B's," says D.-. Blanton. Facing up to the cribbing prog !em. the principal and his faculty have tried to determine reasons foi it and worked out partial reme dies. His teachers name these causes: Parents, especially those on high er social and economic, levels, pres sure theit- kids for high marks. Songsters indulge in excessive activities. For example, it's diffi cult for a football squad member to practice hard in the afternoon, get needed rest, make out-of-town trips, undergo game-time anxieties! ana at the same time keep "up-to- 1 snuff" in studies. The infamous West Point crib bing proved the point. The Army academy, well-known for emphasis on honor, discovered its star foot ballers fudging to keep up. Students realize college entrance and scholarship awards are based largely on high school grades. Sev eral "B's" rather than "A's" could mean the difference between a plum scholarship or a college of choice. Most schools require pupils to maintain certain marks to play sports and be eligible for coveted organizations. Many youngsters feel much sub ject matter outdated and not worth the effort of learning. Students' moral values are con fused by grown-ups' ambiguous standards. Cheating is generally considered not wrong but SOP 'standard operating procedure >, iust like businessmen say "business is business" when they fleece a green competitor, Dr. Blanton* teachers Imple mented these corrective measures: Guilty students stripped of honors Made cheating a serious offense, and dismissed from athletic teams ing to parents. Many schools try and clubs. Reported all instances of cheat ing to parents. Many school? try to solve these problems froftr wHh-? in and parents, who often can be more effective In correcting them, never know. Requested churches to take more Interest in seeing that church taught principles are applied. Encouraged parents to assume more responsibility in leaching off spring moral values and stressing "right" attitudes. Tightened control and supervision in classrooms, reducing situations affording opportunity for cheating. Presented subject matter more colorfully in class so that students secure information by learning it rather than stealing it. i Editors Note: SCHOOL AND ^ OUR CHILD Is a regular weekly column In this newspaper.
