ministers."

For Flower Arrangements '
By GERALDINE R. PEYTON
"Gfve your flower arrangements
the same thought and care that
you would use in selecting your
wardrobe". This bit of advice
comes from Mrs. A. W. Bottoms of
Canton.
Mrs. Bottoms, a nationally ac
credited flower show judge, has
the distinction of having been the
first president of the Canton Gar
den Club, first president of the
Mountain Flower Show Judges
club, and also the first president
of the Canton Council of Garden
clubs. The latter office she now
holds.
Although an expert In the art
of arranging flowers, Mrs. Bottoms
is sympathetic to the beginner who
hasn't yet learned the tricks of
the trade. She suggests that the
novice take advantage of the many
good books that have been written
on the subject. Much time should
be spent in learning the four basic
principles which apply to all forms
of art?design, scale, balance, and
harmony. t
"With the aid of a few simple i
rules, a pleasing arrangement may (
be made with little expenditure of
time and money", Mrs. Bottoms (
says. She suggests the following: (
(1) Select a container that blends s
with the flowers in texture and ^
color. (2) Be aware of color combi- r
nations and place of display. <3>
Cut stems of varied lengths. <4i
Keep ^ small blossom; high and ,
large ones low. (9) Place light {
colored flowers high and dark j.
flowers low. (6i Make bouquets ap- |
proximately lift to 2 times the!,
height of a tall container, or 1 lit .
to 2 times the width of a low con- ]
tainer. (
The hobby of collecting contain- J
cr.s quite naturally goes along with ]
Mrs. Bottoms' love of growing and
arranging flowers. She finds that (
simple vases of soft greyed colors |
are easy to use. i ;
Generous with her knowledge, <
Mrs. Bottoms derives much pleas- <
ure from conducting workshops
in her home. There she teaches J
tier friends to make planters from i,
biass and copper, as well as un- <
isual pine cone wreaths.
Evidence of the success of her
green thumb" may be seen in
ler garden. She grows around 120
.arieties of iris (her favorites', and
?lso many other types of flowers.
VIrs. Bottoms finds her herb gar
fen quite useful buth in her
dtchen and in her flower arrange
ments.
The study of floral paintings by
jur famous artists is recommended
jy Mrs. Bottoms. Masterpieces may
t)?? rrpatpH hv flnuw Indoi*
jay, substituting living plant ma
t-rial for the canvas and oils.
With the use of the suggestions
iiven by Mrs. Bottoms and one's
>wn good taste, a home can be
made more attractive and a sense
>f accomplishment can be gained.

to require a valuation of $667.25. a

1955. The county raised $26.95.
j compared with the state average
of $23.40.

shown that its average school in

third highest at 5.3. Haywood's
ninth ranking was gained by an
indebtedness of $226.70. compared

Other figures brought out in the

air hours spent in search missions
for. downed military and civil air
craft in the United States.
Lieutenant McDarris said the
maneuvers wilf be directed from
the Asheville - Hendersonville Air
port. CAP members participating
will be quartered there, and search
aircraft will be based at the same
I location.
The problem, which will be set
up and graded by USAF Air Res
cue Service personnel from Eglin
Air Force Base. Fla., will involve
aerial search for a simiulated
downed aircraft, pin-pointing its lo
cation, and the dispatch of ground
rescue units to aid "survivors".
CAP's North Carolina Wing will be
graded on accuracy and efficiency
of the search, efficiency of com
mand operations and effectiveness
of integrated communications for
the operation.
Local members of the Haywood
County Squadron who plan to at
tend are J. C. McDarris, Kendrick
