C. r “THE MISSUS THINKS SHE’S SMART!" SAYS MR. PODSNAP “She's been telling the neighbors how she tricked me into promising her an all electric kitchen —just as soon as they are available. But here's the pay-off: she doesn't know that changing to electricity will save me about six bucks a month in operating costs. Pretty soon the all-electric kitchen will pay for itself, and I'll be saving the difference! “Say, come to think of it, the Missus is smart!" (CAROLINA POWER S LIGHT COMPANY) NATURE STUDY GOD’S GIFTS THE DOGWOOD Mrs. Thos. S. Sharp In olden days the dogwood tree was the size of the average forest tree —as stately as the oak and as graceful as the willow, so legend tells us. Its timber was chosen for the cross on account of its strength and firmness. This greatly dis tresesd the tree. Jesus sensed this pity and pain, so comforted the tree by making this promise to it: “Because of your pity and regret for my suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a cross. It shall be slender and bent and twisted. Its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross—two long and two short petals. In the center of the outer edge of each petal there shall be nail prints, rust stained with red- A blood stained crown of thorns shall be in the center of the flower. All this that those who see it will remember your pity and suffer ing for Me and My agony for the souls of men.” (Copyright 1946 for The Black Mountain News) NOTE:—The wild cardinal-pink may be seen in all of its glowing beauty on the rocky heights on the left hand side of the highway as one drives to Old Fort. Dog-tooth violets and the pink honey-suckle bushes are in abund ance. Try to see them now. Seedlings To e Planted By Forestry Unit o A project to plant approximate ly 100,000 spruce seedlings in a burned-over area of about 150 acres on' the Pigeon river south and west of the road leading to Beech Gap has been undertaken by the U. S. Forest service, Carl G. Krueger, Pisgah-Croatan na tional forest supervisor, lias an nounced- It is the first planting project of any size undertaken by the ser vice in four years, he said, and if it can be completed in time and seedlings are available the plant ing areas may be extended. The seedlings are being ob tained from the federal forest service nursery at Parsons, W. Va., and a crew of eight to ten men which the service hopes to double in the near future is now working on the project. The area being planted was logged in the early 1920’s and lat er burned. District Ranger W. W. Huber is supervising the proj ect, with Cecil Coin in immediate charge.

And that Thy love we weighing worthily, May likewise love Thee for the same againe; And for Thy sake, that all lyke deare didst buy, With love may one another en tertayne! So let us love, deare Love, lyke as we ought, Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught. —Edmund Spenser (1552-1599) (Submitted by Mrs. Thos. S. Sharp) The Price He Paid I said I would have my fling, And do what a young man may: And I didn’t believe a thing That the parsons had to say. I did not believe in God That gives us blood like fire, Then flings us into hell because We answer the call of desire. And I said, Religion is rot, And the laws of the world are nil: For the bad man is he who is caught And cannot foot the hill. So I had my joy of life; I went the pace of the town; And then I took me a wife, And started to settle down. I had gold enough and to spare For all the simple joys That belong with a house and home And a brood, of girls and boys. I married a girl with health And virtue and spotless fame.

EASTER Easter with happiness and glad ness, Easter with sacredness and sad ness, O the day seems peaceful every where, Light seems to shine from the Heavenly stair. Green covers are o’er the earth’s great breast, Whereon many fragrant flowers rest. Red roses large, pink carnations tall, But the white lily is queen of all High above the sweet, tender ers Amid th« great, blossoming bow ers, Dear little birds are sweetly sing ing While the sacred church bells are ringing. Great sun, send your gentle, gold en beams Upon the dark forests and clear streams, Upon the lonely, little pathway, For this is our blessed Easter Day.
