Grounds Make Home
More Attractive
By M. E. GARDNER
What makes a home attractive?
The house might be considered
and will depend upon the com
bined efforts of the owner, ach
itect and builder. Then we would
have a look at the general sur
roundings in relation to the site.
Trees, shrubs, flowers and bor
ders would come into the picture
and finally, the lawn.
1 expect that if we observe
closely and try to selcct a com
mon denominator tor evaluating
the attractiveness of a home, we
would settle on the lawn. It might
be a small plot in front of a
small and simple cottage, or an
expensive "welcome mat" lead
ing to a large estate. If it is
rough, patchy or has brown spots,
it very materially detracts from
the landscape picture no matter
how much attention has been
given to trees, flowers and shurbs.
The best time to establish a
lawn is in the early tall ? about
September in the mountains and
October and the early part of
November in eastern Carolina.
There are several reasons for
this. The days are getting cooler
and shortening. Rainfall is more
likely to be better distributed. The
chances are good for having the
lawn established before real bad
weather comes. Even then such
grasses as fescue and bluegrass
will sprout and grow when the
ground is not frozen.
Perhaps the greatest advantage
of fall planting is getting ahead
of the annual weeds, which will
not sprout until spring. The com
petition of young grass seedlings
with annual weeds in spring seed
ed lawns is frequently the deter
mining factor. Tlie weeds usually
win.
You may be wondering by now
why I am recommending fall .seed
ing and giving suggestions at
this time of the year. The reason
is that I have a hunch that more
than 50 per cent of the lawns are
spring - seeded. I am referring
to permanent lawns and not to
winter lawns seeded, or over -
seeded, with Italian rye grass. I
will continue next time with seed
bed preparation.
In the meantime, if you are
planning to seed this spring, clear
your proposed lawn area of all
roots, stumps, rocks and other
debris.
Egg Raisers
Should Order
Chicks Early
If the early bird gets the worm.l
it means one thing: there's noi
worm for the late bird.
And what is true about birds!
and worms is also true about]
egg producers and profits, says1
C. F. Parrish. who is in charge
of poultry work for the N. C.
Agricultural Extension Service.
The egg producer who gets his,
pullet chicks early will get the'
I fall and early winter profits
| from high-priced eggs.
"There are apparently fewer
; layers on the farm," Parrish
said. "And everyone is expecting
! egg prices to go up in the near
i future. In fact, we believe eggs
j will average three cents mor?
per dozen than they did in 1959."
To get in on the higher prices,
Parrish urges producers to place
orders for pullet chicks at an
early date for these reasons:
il' Breeders can give you the
quality of chicks when you wanij
| them:
<2 1 You will make more money
with the early hatched chicks:
and
<3' You will not be caught by,
a chick shortage caused by pro
ducers who waited until the
market looks like a sure thing
betore placing their older.
North Carolina exported about
1.500 truck loads of market eggs
to northern markets in 1959.
"Let's make it 2.000 truck
loadsjthis year." Parrish urged.

CATHOLIC INFORMATION
Separation of Church and State
By Rev. Joseph Dean
"Look" Magazine carried a feature article in the recent
February 16th issue, giving the Catholic position against
union of church and stale.
Catholics are opposed to such an arrangement after the
sad experiences of history in centuries past. The article
goes on to show that a majority of Catholics in an area does
not mean a union of church and state. Most countries today
with a Catholic majority do have separation of church and
state.
In Spain, a dictatorship Is running the government, and
Catholics are finding their religious freedom limited more
and more. But in general, countries with Catholic majorities
are following the pattern of separation of church and state.
Pope Pius XII clarified the situation in 1954 when he
spoke about non-Catholics living in areas with Catholic
majorities. He stated that repression of opposition or error
must be subordinated to higher norms, such as the free
exercise of belief and religious practice in the whole com
munity of states. He goes on to quote our Lord in Matthew
13. 24-30. In actual practice, he condemned the pressure put
on a group of non-Catholics by the Croation government, to
become Catholics as a unifying force for the country. The
late, persecuted. Cardinal Stepinac also condemned that
particular government for exercising undue influence on
these people in his diocese. Cardinal Stepinac opposed both
Communist deceit and Nazi force. He championed separa
tion of church and state even when it was his church that
was supposed to benefit from such union.
On the other hand, there are some people in the United
States who have such an exaggerated notion of separation of
church and state that they want to get the chaplains out of
the armed forces and out of the state prisons. They want
to take the religious motto off our coins, "In God we trust."
Catholics, of course, are against such an extreme version
of separation of church and state.
Thll article has for its purpose one goal, to provide in
formation that will make for better understanding among all
rellflous groups. For Instance, two views on a stained glass
window can be so different. From within the church, the
figures are clearly seen. The ray* of the sun come shining
through the stained glass picture. But. for one. outside the
church, who has ever see the other side, the figures are
blurred, ugly, and indistinguishable.
Once we can understand each other, and see each other's
viewpoint "from the inside", then we can devote ourselves
wholeheartedly to the service to mankind, especially the
poor, the ill, the Invalids, and those who are leas fortunate.
Pray for each other that St. Paul's words come true,
that we "have Christ dwelling through faith in our hearts,
so that being rooted and grounded in love we may be able
to comprehend the breadth and length and height and depth
and to know Christ's love whfch surpasses all knowledge."
