problem today, John P. Kennedy
of Charlotte told the Southern
Pines Rotary Club at the club’s
luncheon meeting Friday, in the
Country Club.
“We must keep our society
healthy and strong, to be in a pos
ition to lead the free world,” he
said.
Introduced by Tom Ruggles,
program chairman, Mr. Kennedy
—who is a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination as 8th Dis
trict Congressman in the May 26
primary—announced at the out
set that he would speak on gov
ernment, citing a regulation of the
Rotary Club and other civic
clubs, prohibiting partisan politi
cal speeches.
There are two risks in trying
to meet domestic and foreign
challenges, the speaker said—go
ing bankrupt and losing individ
ual freedom. “First things must

he stated, saying we need to have
the courage to cut out programs
that are no longer desi>erately
needed. He said he favors trying
to solve problems first by private
initiative, then by municipal and
county action, then by state ac- enough faith in the American

otherwise “build a diversified
economy” so that rural people
can find enaployment and still live
on farms. Good living conditions
and prosperity, urban or rural,
requires planning, he said.
In the field of education, he
said he does not favor “the kind
of federal aid that would lead to
a national school system” tout
noted that the U. S. “must pro

educational systems, are produc

out, making federal help neces
sary, so that money from wealth
ier states can be used to raise the
level of education of the nation
as a whole.
As to foreign aid, Mr. Kennedy
said that though there has been
tremendous waste in the Mutual
Security program, “we must have
some kind of program abroad be
cause we cannot afford to turn
our backs on the tremendous chal

Mr. Kennedy said he has

deal with a problem, by federal
action.
Three problems discussed by
the speaker were: 1—urban and

Prune the early flowering
shrubs, if tHey need attention, as
soon as they have finished bloom
ing; i. e., spireas and golden bell.
Hardy chrysanthemums provide
as much color and satisfaction as
any plants I know for enjoyment
around the home It is now time
to divide the clumps.
If you have a green thumb, and
the necessary equipment to do a
good job of rooting, you may wish
to root cuttings f#r later planting.
Plant gladiolus corms every two
weeks until July for continuous-
blooming during the summer.
Tuberoses and Rubrum lilies may
also be planted now.
I hop3 that you have already
planted your cool season vege
tables. For warm season crops
such as snap and lima beans and
sweet corn, wait until the soil
temperature rises to about 70 de
grees F. The warm season crops
will not tolerate cold, wet soils,
and, if planted in such, the ger
mination will be poor or the seed
may rot in the ground.
Fertilize daffodils, crocus and
other early-flowering bulbs. This
is important to store reserve food
in the bulbs for flowering in 1963.
E,3 careful when mowing so you
will not out the leaves from the
plants, because they are essential
for food manufacture.
If you are planning to lift and
divide any of your early bulbs,
be sure to wait until the leaves
have turned brown. It is desirable
to lift and divide daffodils and
others at least once in every three
years.
Bacterial wilt has always been
a problem in tomato production
Remember that we now have no
control of this soil-borne disease.
However, we do have a good sel
ection of varieties which are re
sistant to fusarium wilt: Home
stead, Rutgers, Marglobe, Mana-
pal and Marion.
Fertilize azaleas, camellias,
shrubs and shade trees if you
don’t already have this job behind
you.
Keep the roses protected
against black spot, aphids and
red spiders at all times. All-pur
pose sprays, or dusts, are satis

Keep after the weeds in the

About one-third of the flue-
cured tobacco produced in North
