Gardens Don’t Have To Black-Out At
Sunset, Says Mrs. Jane H, Struthers
Your lovingly planted gardens gardeners to run the show. Now,
don’t have to black out at sunset
if you give them the ‘light’ touch,”
says Jane H. Struthers, home
service representative for the Car
olina Power and Light Company.
Mrs. Struthers calls attention to
the safety that outdoor lighting
provides against both accidents
and prowlers, and gives the fol
lowing tips for carrying out a
lighting plan for a garden either
large or small:
Avoid “whitewashing” the en
tire garden in imitation of day
light. The result is likely to be
flat and monotonous. The fasci
nation of a lighted garden lies in
contrasts of light and shadows, in
highlights and silhouette effects.
Scatter the lighting units. Place
them so they illuminate a flower
bed, a well ^aped tree, a path, a
pool, a rock garden.
Conceal the light sources. Re
spect yoiu- neighbor’s right of pri
vacy arid place light bulbs and
fixtures so that light is confined
to your own premises. In your
own garden, the prime rule should
be: keep the light source out of
viewer’s eyes. Hide bulbs in
shrubbery. Or use a shielding re
flector.
Use white light on flowers. Col
ored light may be used sparingly
on white statuary, walls and trel
lises, and is most effective in pools
and fountains. Blue lights are
disappointing for they are likely
to create an eerie and unearthly
look in the night.
A little light goes a long way, if
directly on light-colored walls,
and concrete and gravel patch.
They all serve as reflectors of
light.
Time was when a flood-lighted
garden was foxmd only on a tre
mendous estate with a crew of
with the growth in the number of
home owners, with the growth of
picture windows and an interest
in gardening, after-dark illumina
tion has become an every-night
reality in modest gardens.
For not only can garden light
ing be installed simply these days,
without a major landscaping up
heaval, but it also can be done
without a major upheaval in the
budget. There are numerous por
table lighting fixtures available
that can be pushed into the soil
and connected to a portable outlet
device.
Simple and beautiful effects can
be achieved by the hghting of a
well shaped tree, or a piece of
garden statuary, or a flower bed.
Place the light at an angle off to
one side, or place two lights com
ing from different angles, con
verging on the subject. The re
sult is another whole personality
for your lawn or garden, when
normally it is engulfed in black
“nothing-ness.”
On the safety score, remember
to experiment with placing fix
tures only in a dry garden, for
dew or any other moisture must
be guarded against in handling
electrical equipment. Install
equipment first, then connect
electricity.
Weatherproof cords and mois
ture-proof connections are a
“must” for temporary and perma
nent installations alike. The fix
tures themselves can be • every
thing from commercially rhade
“lily pads” and telescoping lights
that poke into the ground, to
homemade devices that are • as
simple as an old watering can
with a hole cut in one side, and
another drilled in the bottom for
the cord. They look natural by
day, yet become a lamp at night!

Kitchin Active In
Moore, Says Farms
Need More Credit
A. Paul Kitchin, Wadesboro at
torney who is seeking the Demo
cratic nomination for Eighth Dis
trict Congressman, is waging an
active campaign in Moore County.
Mr. Kitchin’s campaign in
Moore County is being directed
by a committee of which M. B.
Pleasants of Aberdeen is chair-
main.
The former FBI lawyer and spe
cial agent, who is opposing Rep.
C. B. Deane of Rockingham for
the nomination in the May 26 pri
mary, has been in the county on
several recent occasions, calling
on Democrats over the county.
Mr. Kitchin’s most recent cam
paign statements have dealt with
the farm problem and textile im
ports.
The candidate sees grave dan
ger of another depression and says
that it has already started on
farms—especially small farms. He
notes that when farm income
drops, the profits of business and
industry and the wages of indus
trial workers will follow, if there
is not a solution to the farm prob
lem.
Mr. Kitchin has gone on record
as favoring both parity price sup
port and the soil bank plan, but he
thinks that the farmer also needs
“an extension of credit which the
Federal government alone can in
sure him.” The Federal Land
Bank, he says, should adopt “a
more realistic policy” in evaluat
ing farm lands and Proddction
Credit Associations “should ex
tend farm credit up to five years,
at reasonable interest.”
Other points the candidate has
made on farm matters are that the
Federal Land Bank should expand
its intermediate loans and the
Farmers Home Administration
should be given adequate funds
to help qualified farmers with lit
tle capital.
Textile Teiriff, Quotas
The candidate has designated as
one of the major planks in his
platform “an effective tariff on
textiles coupled with a strict quo
ta on Japanese imports.”
These measures are necessary,
he believes, to increase the per
capita income of North Carolina-
textile workers and rejuvenate
the textile industry.
Farmers, also, have been harm
ed by the drastic reduction in the
tariff on textiles which went into
effect last year, Mr. Kitchin said.
He noted that, according to gov
ernment reports, most of the cot
ton used in these textiles is grown
outside this country.
Mr. Kitchin opened his cam
paign several weeks ago with the
statement that he was “absolute
ly and without reservation” in
favor of the so-called manifesto,
signed by Southern senators and
Congressmen, that called for a re
versal of the Supreme Court’s de
cision against racial segregation in
the public schools.
Twin City Grabs
Early Lead In
Tar Heel League
The Twin City entry in the Tar
Heel semi-pro baseball league got
off to an early lead in the stand
ings by winning two games last
.week, the first week of play.
Twin City, composed of players
from Southern Pines, Aberdeen
and surrounding area, defeated
Hillcrest 19-8 Saturday, and again
Sunday, 14-0.
A game between Fayetteville
and Southern Pines was postpon
ed last Saturday because of the
game played between Southern
Pines High School and Mt. Gilead.
But on Sunday the Fayetteville
entry defeated the locals 5-4.

Cold Weather Did
Not Hurt Crops,
Observers Report
A low temperature reading of
37 was recorded in Southern Pines
Tuesday night. The reading was
one of the lowest ever recorded
during May at the station here.
The cold weather, which reach
ed a low of 26 at Clingman’s Dome
in the Great Smokies—the lowest

Durham station was the lowest
ever recorded there during May.

Armory Contract Postponed So That
New, Improved Plans Can Be Used
According to information re
ceived this week from the office
of Major General John Manning,
the State adjutant general, the
date for opening bids on the
Southern Pines armory project
has been postponed for approx
imately three months.
Capt. Bill Wilson, local Guard
commander, ^id today that he
was informed by General Man
ning that the Armory Commission
had decided to postpone the local
project in order that new plans
now on the drawing board might
be used for the Southern Pines
armory. The new plans do not
change the outside appearance of
the building appreciably, accord
ing to Wilson, but there will be
some changes in the interior ar
rangements, and the overall sizg
of the building will be increased
by about 300 square feet.
Since construction on the origi
nal plans was tentatively sched
uled to start about the end of
July, the postponement will re
sult in an actual delay of about
one month. Plans now call for bid
opening in the latter part of July,
and construction to start shortiyf
thereafter.
Site Cleared
Clearing and grading of the site
has been accomplished locally,
and the proposed location can be
seen by those interested, between
the present storage gEeage build
ing and the old Pinehurst road.
The lumber cleared from the site
is being cut by local Guardsjnen,
and the proceeds applied to pay
ment of charges for bulldozer
work in grading the site.
\ Further' information concern
ing the armory construction will
be released as soon as it is re
ceived by the local unit. Captain
Wilson promised, saying that the
new plans would have to be ap
proved by the National Guard
Bureau in Washington before*
they could be sent out to pros
pective bidders.
Persons interested in bidding
on the project are invited to in-
qiEre'at the local uniL for infor
mation.

Col. Dean E. Hess, a foi'mer in
structor at the Air-Ground Oper

popular throughout the Sandhills,
is the subject of a film now being
made in Hollywood, entitled
“Battle Hymn.”
The film, based qn Col. Hess’
Korean war experiences, will star
Rock Hudson, one of Hollywood’s
outstanding actors.
Local people will remember
Col. Hess as one of the most pop
ular instructors ever to be sta
tioned at the Air-Ground School.
While here he spoke to numerous
civic clubs about his experiences
in Korea whre he helped set up
the ROK Air Force, and later an
orphanage.
Col. Hess, an ordained minis
ter in the Disciples of Christ,
flew 250 missions in an F-51 dur
ing the Korean Campaign and
earned the nickname, the “Flying
Parson.” Writing about him in the
Saturday Evening Post, Harold
H. Martin said that Col. Hess saw
World War 2 as a “battle between
good and evil.”
Author Martin, recounting the
reasons that Col. Hess sought
service in World War 2
wrote that the Colonel had felt
it would be .morally wrong to say
to others, “I believe in your cause
but you do the fighting for me.

training and later flew 65 mis
sions over Europ as a lighter

Distinguished Flying Cross.
All the money that Col. Hess
receives from the film, which the
producers think will be a big
moneymaker, will be used to help
maintain an orphanage in Cheju,
Korea, which Col. Hess set up.
At present the orphanage is
supported primarily through do
nations to “Hope, Inc.,” a non
