Gods irniE MACON THEATRE AT GIRLS' STATE - Local Deligates Report Activities {Editor's Note: The following it by Misses Dwmin Horslty and J?n Franklin, who recently at tended Girls' State under the sponsorship of the local Amer ican Legion Auxiliary.) Throughout the ages, man has fought for his right of freedom. In our country we have the good fortune of living in a democracy based upon freedom, we have won the right to govern. Our responsi bility now is to bring ourselves into an active and participating role in our government. Experi ence has proved that a sound democracy depends upon an en lightened citizenship. For this purpose the North Carolina Amer ican Legion Auxiliary has estab lished Tar Heel Girls' State. Here, in a miniature state government, we, tomorrow's leaders, may study the structure of state government, take over the duties of state of ficials, and learn how to vote. In making an evaluation of Girls' State it is necessary to re late some of the invaluable infor mation and Instruction that is re ceived there. Has Parties Just as any state has political | parties, so does Girls' State. Im aginary names, Federalist and Na tionalist, are given to the parties and the citizens receive badges designating to which party they belong. In these parties it is pos sible to learn how to perform reg ular party duties, according to the laws of the State of North Caro lina. These parties also illustrate the American citizen's right to dis agree on governmental policies ind their right to express their ideas and opinions. The party sys tem is emphasized because it is R & W t*?i? SERVICE John Wiggins * J. W. Rankin Across from the Indian Mound OPEN: 4:30 - 7:30 Every Afternoon All Day Saturday one of the major differences be tween democracy and dictatorship Two Purposes Political parties function for two purposes: (1) They give us a means of selecting candidates by furnishing a device for nominat ing procedure, and (2> They frame the policies which determ ine what platform the party stands on. Let us break down these func tions now and look at them in re lation to Girls' State. In our elec tions we choose' our governor, lieutenant-governor, and other state officials. Of course, the offi cers benefit by actually perform ing specific duties, but on the other hand, the other girls also gain. As we have already pointed out it Is essential to have a well informed citizenry and by partici pating in the campaign and acuta) voting everyone is given a first hand view of our government's operation. . Determined Policies The second function of the party system Is to determine the polic ies for which the people stand. At Qirls' State, ideas are complied | and discussed and the girls are given the task of choosing the most profitable policies. Our mot to is, "The best way to go higher is to stay on the level", and In writing the platform the girls con centrate on every day matters which are not hard to see through, but which are strictly "on the level". Mock sessions of legisla ture are held. also. We divide in to both a house and senate and pass mock bills. Lectures, Too Lectures also play a large part in the Girls' State program. Out standing political leaders, teach ers, and citizens pass on to us their knowledge, which is very en lightening. Lecture topics cover items such as parliamentary pro cedure. upon which much emph asis is placed, city and county governments, the history and or ganization of political parties, the organization and duties of legisla ture, the status of women and wel fare and citizenship. Since we were all girls,- natur ally, we were quite interested in the lecture about the status of women. The life cycle of our fe male generation was explained as follows: We will more than like ly complete our education, take a job and marry soon aft^r. We will continue to work until the family begins to grow, at which time we will retire. After raising our fam ilies and seeing our youngest child safely in school we will again ent er the working world and remain there until retirement age. To Capitol As the week draws to a close at Girls' State we take our long awaited journey to Raleigh, where our first stop is the state capitol In a mock session of the legisla ture, we sit in chairs occupied by our senators and representatives We pass bills which were intro duced at a previous session. Here we also meet our Governor and see the Girls' State governor in augurated by the secretary of state. Following our session at the cap itol, we have lunch at North Car olina State College. This is truly an experience for three hundred girls who haven't seen a boy in six days. Other events of the day include a visit to the State Art Museum, the Governor's Mansion,, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina. The climax of the week comcs with the luncheon on Saturday where we assemble for our for mal farewell. It is here t,hat you' realize that you have learned not only politics but also how to make new friends, to learn to love \hem Food Sense ? Not Nonsense Why Pretend about Protection? You would not dream of setting out for work or schoc! without shccs on your feet, a dime in your pocket. Yet, many people neglect to fortify themselves with another essential . . . a good breakfast. Without this protection, one is no more ready for the day ahead than W33 tre legendary emperor who was sold a bill of goods by two scoundrel weavers. The weavers promised the emperor the most beaut i.ul robes in the world. Ey passing the word along that stupid men and those unfit fcr cfiice could not see the robes, the rpscals were able to collect their fa without delivering the goods. Whe.i the emperor ap peared in the royal procession, only one small boy had the cour age to say, "Why, he doesn't have any clothes on!" Although the protection offered by breakfast may be no more visible than were the emperor's royal robes, it is real. Its value is plain to see at that taxing time . . . late morning. Studies at State University of Iowa have shown Garden Time . . . By M. E. GARDNER A friend brought in a shoot from his sasanqua camellia which was infested with leaf and bud gall disease. This disease is caused by mold-like airborne fungi and is quite prevalent on both azaleas and camellias this year. The leaves become thickened, curled, fleshy, and pale green to white, or pink in color. Frequently a white powdery surface will de velop on the leaves. The disease is usually worse on the lower leaves but may also appear on any part of the plant, especially under humid conditions and in shady locations. Flower parts may be affected on some species of rhodendron. The trouble seems to be more prevalent on sasanqua than on the japonica camellia. The disease is more alarming from the standpoint of disfigure ment than from actual damage to the plant. However, it may be come severe if weather conditions are favorable for the development of the organism. Around the home, the galls should be removed from the plants and burned just as soon as they are detected. Bordeaux mixture may be used effectively if removal of the galls by hand is not feasi ble. Prepared Bordeaux may be purchased from your local seeds and then leave them behind. Your feet are sore; your mind dull: and your body weary, but your heart overflows with gratitude for the opportunities which are yours and as the voices of three hundred fellow Girls' State sing, "We are the future builders Builders in a band And we come from Girls' State The best state in the land We are up and coming Progressive, kind and strong And to our old Girls' State We gladly raise our song." You wish it would never end. But as our governor, Kate Black well, quoted from Sara Teasdale: ? ? " " "For better than the minting Of a gold crowned king Is the safe kept memory Of a lovely thing." this. When men and women, girls and boys ate a good breakfast, all were quicker in their reac tions ? both physical and mental ? turned out more work, were better at games, and were actual ly stronger during the morning "sag" hours than when they skipped breakfast or settled for a cup of coffee. The C and C breakfast ? coffee and a cigarette ? unless it's teamed with food, exposes one to the temptation of high-calorie snacks. To play it safe, eat break fast and stay slim. A breakfast, liked by most people, that will help to protect us from ourselves includes: Fruit or juice; egg, or cereal with milk; and enriched or whole grain toast. man or harware store and mixed according to instructions on the package. If you only require a small quantity of spray, use one and one-half level teaspoons of powdered copper sulfate and one and one-half teaspoons of fresh hydra ted (builders) lime to one gallon of water. To this solution add about one-half cup of skimm ed milk which will serve as a spreader and sticker. Side dress your leafy vegetables with nitrate of soda. Keep all vegetable and ornamental plants i/.gs free of weeds. A good mulch twill help control moisture, soil temperature and weeds. Stake and mulch will help control moisture, soil temperature and weeds. Stake and mulch tomatoes. Plan Before You Plant 1'Plan before you plant." That's a basic rule for successful garden ing, says H. M. Covington, horti cultural specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service. Mr. Covington says that many veetables grown in the home gar den are wasted because an over abundance of one vegetable ma tures at the same time. With few exceptions, vegetables remain edi ble for only a short period after they reach maturity. Top quality is often even more transient. One way to avoid having too large a crop at once, then nothing, is to make successive plantings of the same vegetable, Mr. Coving ton advises. Plant only enough seed of crops like corn, beans, lettuce, and radish to provide the amount that can be used within a short period. Then, after a few weeks, plant another lot to ma ture after the first harvest has been exhausted. Or, if the variety used will not do well later in the season, plant other varieties that mature later. 1 his kinc ol planning calls for ? careful stuoy of seed varieties and must be aone well ahead 01 planting time. It may also require the purchase of more seed, there to re a somewhat larger invest ment. But tnese things pay oil in greater satisfaction at harvest time. Another thing to look for in See the Beautiful Display of Blankets, as Shown Above, in Belk's Dept. Store. Adv. studying the seed varieties Is the height to which they will grow. Tall-growing crops should be planted together and low-growing ones together (preferably to the south of the taller onesi to avoid shading the lower plants. Vege tables need about eight hours of full sunlight to produce well. DEATH TOWNS RALEIOH ? Ten Tar Heel com munities suffered five or more traffic fatalities in 1957.
