Tha Warsaw Garden Club pre-
temi tne Tard of tha Month A-
ward to Mr. and Mas. Emmons Gar
ner tor the well unified plan of the
part of lot that Ilea behind the
house. Hare we have an excellent
eacample for a homeowner who
needs to combine vegetable garden,
play ground, service yard and pri
vate lawn, and flowers all in one
spot ; ;;'':": -!;'-::,!--.: ,(,
Emmons says that the credit be
longs to GhayneQe for aU he does
is mow the grass. Therefore the
committee commends her for this
plan Involving the following five
iactora. " 1
1. THE GARDEN IS SIMPLE
AND SATISFACTORY.
The vegetable garden at the back
of the property la screened from
the lawn by a hedge of spirea.
Flower borders are' kept to the
outside ' boundaries ' leaving 'the
lawn unbroken. , This arrangement
is satlafactorjr v because the grass
is easy to cut and the pretty green
carpet is framed by the colorful
flowers, , giving. an unobstructed
view. This is important to a moth
er working and watching children
at the same time.
2. THE GARDElf IS PLEASING
ANTA PRETTY. ,(
The beauty here is created by re
petition. Three mimosa trees have
been used and the flower border
have been made in 4 spots. But
the repetition of color Will be seen
more in the future as the garden
grows. Next year Ghaynelle plans
to plant her bulbs, annuals and
perrenlals in groups of one color,
rather than spot the colors' about
through the borders. To do this you
keep in mind the size relationship

use , enough to make a splash of co
lor in one spot Later repeat this
same grouping in the border. If
the plant grows , large possibly S
plants or even ene will do.
3. THE GARDEN IS WELZ. FRAM
ED AND. FUNCTIONAL. '
Ghaynelle used th existing wire
fence on the left aide of the yard
as a frame 0i which ivy may climb
to ' make a nice'' dark , green back
ground for the flowers in the bord
er.! This happens to be particularly
good because on this side of the
lawn a shrub border would have
been out of proportion.; Plans are
being made' for a background on
the right side of s the yard. The
yard is, functional, because a por
tion has been kept for play ground
for 'their small son. His sand pile
is by the back porch and near the
kitchen door (Which seminds me
that one reason Ghaynelle is so
often in the kitchen,; is because of
that wonderful talent she has in
making and decorating such deli
cious and beautiful cakes that the
town keeps her bcsy. Later he will
have the open expanse of the lawn
for fames. v
The entrance to the ' vegetable
garden has been subtly planned by
a curved flower border which be
gins on the right boundary and
turns into the yard. This leaves a
generous opening wide enough to
accommodate a wagon or tractor if
ever needed. ,
4r-THE GARDEN IS INTEREST
ING AND WELL INTEGRATED.

e Prior to adjournment the chap
ter chairman spoke of the valuable
work that had. been done in our
chapter' through the years by our
volunteer workers since 99 per cent
of the work here is done by volun
teer workers. He presented 29 cer
tificates of appreciation to the fol
lowing who have served in Various

borders are exactly alike although
they are well 'related," The mimosa
tree 'are planted asymetricallyi two
on one aide of the yard and one on
the other. ' '
Size and proportion in all things
have been considered to make, a.
unified whole. The plot is small, so
small trees were chosen. Crape
Myrtle, mimosa and pussy willow
are used. The flower borders are
not too wide or deep. The 'largest
flowers, ' such as dahlias, were
placed at ' a distance to minimize
their size.' '
5. THE GARDEN IS INEXPEN
SIVE. -
;Here we have an example of sim
ple, pleasing beauty that can belong
to any of us. All we need is the
iniative to plan' and willingness to
werk. The plants are easily avail
able from the overflow oi our fam
ilies and friends who would much
rather share than throw the ex
tras away. The plants 'from the
woods sould not be overlooked.
JUST REMEMBER TO USE RES
TRAINT IN YOUR PLANTING
WHEN ACCEPTING PLANTS
FROM GENEROUS FRIENDS.
There is so much available, that
one is tempted to accept it all. Real
beauty and harmony comes from
the repetition of fewer varieties of
a kinds and fewer kinds of plants.
This award concludes the Beau-
tif icatlon , Project of the Warsaw
Garden Club this year. We are hap
py to say it has been successful. It
has been much talked, about in
Warsaw and ideas have been ex
changed. .The Goldsboro News Ar
gus has mentioned this- project in
one of their: editorials. Our Garden
Club received an award at the
State convention tor promoting the
work of Home Beautifigation. The
Warsaw Garden Club is proud of
the result of this project and want

May, 1958 Is Tentatively Set For
Opening Of Tryon Palace To Public
BT PAUL BAR WICK
May 1958 has tentatively been set
as the date for opening to the pub
lic the restored Tryon Palace, at
New Born, first permanent capitol
t North Carolina.
Restoration of Tryon Palaae be
,an in August, 1952, after many
years of planning and research. The
'bringing to life of the State's first
permanent capitol is due primar
ily to Mrs. Maude Moore Latham,
of Greensboro, a native of New
Bean.

destroyed by fire on the night of
February 27, 1798. Ia this fare, the
mala building and East string were
destroyed.
The West wing survived th'e fire
and was used as an apartment house
until restoration began in 1982.
Actually, construction is almost
completed, but the grounds have
not: 'reen graded and flower gard
ens planted.
Tryon Palace was erected from
1767-70 by Royal Governor William
Tryon ;s the seat of British govern
ment in the colony of North Ca
rolina. There are many interesting facta
about the Palace. It was first used
in June, 1770. On December 5,
1770, the General Assembly met for
the first time in the new Council
Chamber. The fact that Tryon Pa
lace was used as the Governor's
residence as well as the General
Assembly Hall is unique.
The structure, with its two large
wings connected by curved colon
nades, was said by Governor Tryon
to stand as a 'public ornament' and
'a lasting monument of the liberal
ity ef the Country."
Designed like a London Town
House, in pure English Taste, the
capitol was regarded as 'the most
beautiful building in the Colonial
Americas."
Historical significance or Tryon
Palace is marked by the fact that
on August 25, 1774, the first pro
vincial convention of North Ca
rolina, the first anywhere In Am
erica to be called and held in de
fiance of British orders, was held
at the palace.
Governor Richard Caswell and
other 'first' State officials clrcted
under the first Constitution of the
Independent State of North Caro
lina were inaugurated in the Pa
lace on January 16, 1777. The first
State General Assembly met at
Tryon Palace on April T, 1777, and
met there until 1T84, when the State
Capitol was moved to Raleigh.
Every possible effert has been
made in the restoration to make the
Palace authentic and identical to
the original strueture.
The main building, William Muir-
head Construction Co., contractor.
Durham, is actually constructed on
the same fctandatlea as the original.
Until restoration begaa, George St.,
n New Bern, ran directly ever
where the main building was, aad
is probably the reasen for the foun
dation preservation. '

As a result, the original quarries
at St. Bees, England, from which
the red sandstone had been cut
were located. Thus, the steps in
he restored Palace are identical
to the original as well as the bases
for columns along the colonades.
Over a year was spent in England
looking for this stone and quarries.

Some of the furniture is com ins

When the public is allowed tn

the first time, they will see in the
West wing the old stalls for the
horses; the coach house, with the
doors opening on Eden St.; and the
upstairs which was the hay loft.
In The East wing are located the

The Wilmington social security
district office at the Custom House
will be open all day Saturday, June
29, In addition to its normal week
day schedule, Ernest F. Fitzpatrkk,
District Manager, said today. Fitx
patrick explained that this special
Saturday schedule of office hours,
from 8:00 am. to 6:00 pjn., will
enable the office to accept tot
minute applications from severely
disabled people who may be eligi
ble for social security disability
protection. This will be the only
Saturday that the social security
office which serves Duplin Coun
ty will be open for business. In
addition a representative will be
at the Court House in Kenans
ville, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on
Saturday, June 29 only, for the
same purpose.
Fitzpatrick pointed out that peo
ple who have been disabled and
unable to work for a long time
must apply before June 30 for dis
ability benefits or to have their
earnings records 'frozen.' Other
wise, they may, in some cases, lose
their rights to disability payments,
and also their own arid their fam
ily's rights to old-age and survivors
insurance payments.
Any severely disabled person who
has worked under social security for
at least 5 years and has been dis
abled for 6 months or more should
get in touch with the Wilmington
district office right away. If he is
between 50 and 65, he may be eli
gible for monthly disability pay
ments. If he is under 50, he may
be eligible to protect his future
right to disability payments as well
as the rights of himself and his
family to old-age and survivors
payments.
'To get social security disability
insurance benefits at age 50 or over,
or to have your social security rec
ord frozen,' said Fitzpatrick, yeu
must have social security credit
for at least 5 years of work in the
10 years before you became dis
abled. At least a year and a half of
that credit must be for work. during
the three years just before your
disability begaa.
'In addition, you must have a dis
ability which, in the words of the
law, makes you unable to engage
in any substantial gainful activity.
It must be the kind of physical or
mental condition which will show
up in a medical examination or
tests, and it must have lasted for at
least 6 months and be expected to
continue for a long and indefinite
time.'
Fitzpatrick emphasized that any
disabled person who feels that he
might qualify under these provis
ions of the Social Security Act
should get in touh with the social
security district office before June
30 bv letter, phone, or in person.
If he is not able to do himself,
someone else may make the contact
for him.
