Cold Damage Can Cause
Loss Of Camellia Buds
Any signs of unusual
ly heavy loss of camellia
buds are, more
than likely, evidence of
cold damage, suggest
North Carolina State
University agricultural
extension specialists.
When buds fall from
the plant just before
opening, cold damage is
probably the reason.
Sudden bursts of cold
weather often cause the
plant damage.
A bud can be killed in
November or December
and hold to the plant un
til March before
swelling and trying to
open into a full bloom
before dropping off.
To determine if a bud
has been damaged by
cold, cut through it so as
to split the stem to
which it is attached. If
the cone-shaped base
the petals are on is
brown or black, the bud
will fail to open
properly. If the base is
white or cream colored,
the bud was not
damaged and would
have opened into a full
flower.
The NCSU specialists
suggest that, where
camellias seem to drop
their flower buds very
often — three out of four
years or so — you might
consider planting pines
to shade them or moving
them to a semi-shady
location. Consider
moving them to a spot
where the morning sun
won't hit them and
where they will be pro
tected from cold winds.
You may also select a
variety that has
resistance to cold. A
combination of this
selection and the above
described location
shoud keep your plant
out of trouble.

Ramey told the board
that "there is no way
possible that you could
bring someone from
outside to head the
school system who feels
the way we do." He said
Williams "knows our
people and our condi
tions." Under the
present administration,
Ramey noted, "our
children are receiving
quality education."
Mrs. Mary Hunter,
director of the Com
munity Schools
Program, related for
the board's considera
tion a recent conversa
tion she had had with an
Owens-Illinois em
ployee moved to this
area when the new
Ridgeway plant was an
nounced. The employee,
Mrs. Hunter said, is a
former educator and
"could not be more
pleased than he is with
his experience with the
public schools" in
Warren County.
A. W. Ward, director
of vocational training,
said he would like "to
endorse what has been
said." He said he was
"grateful for the type of
leadership which Mr.
Williams has given. He
is deeply interested in
children."
Ward told the board
that "we have a good
team" and that they
should keep up the good
work. "Sometimes we
change, and its not
always for the best," he
said.
