Woman 's Club Depot project
gives station growing accent
By Kay 1 nomas
On Saturday Harriet's dream
came true. Harriet McFadyen has
spent hours organizing, con
sulting, and praying as she provid
, ed leadership for the landscaping
of the depot. '1
The Woman's Club of Raeford
chose the landscaping project as a
way that the members might get in
volved in the Depot Restoration in
hands-on work. Initially, each
department of the Club was asked
to pledge a specific number of
hours of work. As planning pro
gressed, people with more
knowledge and skill got involved
and the Club decided to provide
money instead of time.
The restoration of Main Street's
Aberdeen & Rockfish Depot has
consumed many, many hours of
volunteer labor. Many will be able
to point with pride to their con
tributions. Others will know that
their thought and energy made
good things happen.
Iii llic landscaping work, several
knowledgable people were con
sulted. Several prepared plans and
gate suggestions on use of the
land. Some gave advice oij the
plans to be used and the care cer
tain plants would rteed.
When a plan was ready and fur
ther suggestions were made, the
plants came from Danny
McGougan's nursery and Hopkins
Nursery in Lumber Bridge. Under
the watchful eyes of Hilton
Villians and Danny and Joe
McGougan, Hoke High Future
Farmers planted.
"Planted" is a small word for
working the topsoil delivered by
the City of Raeford, placing the
timbers to make the beds, putting
in the plants, watering, and liberal
use of many green thumbs. Dan
McGougan and Hilton Villians
teach Vocational Agriculture at
Hoke High. Their students,
members of the Future Farmers of
America Club, signed up to work
during Saturday. McGougan said
around twenty gave-somc time and
hard work.
Foster holly,, andora juniper,
shore juniper, coral belle azaleas,
white azaleas, and other varieties
wefe chosen for their special
decorative and maintenance
qualities. Everyone knows that the
azaleas will bloom in the spring,
but do you know there will be
bronze growth on the junipers in
fall and winter? The shore junipers
will grow low to the ground and
spill over the corners in a few
years.
In October, the students will
come back to the Depot to plant
some dogwoods and crepe myrtle.
Two other beds are in the
"maybe" stage of planning. The
important idea for now is that the
Depot has a fine ruffle of healthy
shubs as Hoke County puts on its
best face for the N.C. Turkey
Festival.
Thanks and commendations are
due Mrs. McFadyen and the
Women's Club, those who planned
and advised, and those who
bought and directed the work.
Also to be praised are the Future
Farmers who did the strong-back
work. One of the students com
mented that in 50 years he could
point to the Depot and tell his
grandchildren "1 helped plant
those things right there".
There are many who can be as
proud as he.
Shower flow restrictions can
save up to 10 cents a shower in
electricity and water consumption
costs.
