town or city by the appearance
df the homes and Industrial
plants. A well -landscaped fac
tory, warehouse or place of busi
ness denotes officers and em
ployes as congenial and efficient
their pleasant surroundings
ith pleasant surroundings you
find, too, good neighbors, sub
stantial citizens and community
pride.
Real estate dealers are al
ways attrafted to well landscap
ed homes because they can get
'from 10 to 25 per cent more for
a well planted home than from
one that has been neglected.
‘Plants becom** more Attractive
as they grow and provide sliade
and color, or whatever they were
selected to accomplish in the
landscape scheme. If the neigh
bors match your efforts, the
whole neighborhood will 'become
la desirble place to live and your
hhome or business beoames a
good Investment should you wish
tor sen. .
IColottful flower borders, edging
piants along walks and drives,
well selected .foundation plants,
and trees for shade, color and
framitiig your home all add up to
enjoyment and pleasure for you
and everyone in your community.
North Carolina is one of the
most garden-minded stales in the
nation. With more individual en-
thliisdasm and responsibility, it
could also be the most beautiful.
Improving the environment is the
favorite conversation piece in
these days of haste and waste.
Improvement will only come
when eeich citizen assumes his or
.her proper place in the ever
changing scheme of things.
.Plant the flowers, shrubs, trees,
fruits and vegetables that you
like best suited to your locality.
Taking pride In whatever you do
will be e rewarding experience
and a fine conrtlbution to com
munity spirit and beauty.
You may be surprised to learn
that the avocation or hobby of
gardening amounts to a whop
ping 4 billion dollars annually in
the United States. I think the
reason for this stems from the
fact tita-t it is something in which
th^ entire family can participate.
Aside from the family groups, we
have the specialists who can
create many art forms with liv
ing plants.
Religious Cards
Take The Lead
In Popularity
“Sorry, we don’t have any
more Christmas cards, only some
religious ones.”
These words, supposedly spok
en by a saleswoman to a lasi-
mlnute shopper for greeting card.*,
a good many years ago, wouldn’t
he meaningful now.
During recent Yule seasons,
greetin;gs with a religious mes
sage have led the way in popu
larity. The wryly-h'umorous idea
that anyone looking for cards
wants some that show only the
odnvlvial side of Christmas was
never very funny, and now it def
initely isn’t true.
Early cards pictured dancing
and skaters, holly and mistletoe,
robins and other birds, beautiful
women and charming children
and flowers by the score.
Such themes still appear, but
they take second place to relig
ious messages—especially, “Peace
on earth, good will toward men.”
Manger Scene
i Awe-Inspiring
j Creche, ChristmEis crib, man
ger scene, crib of Bethany, prae-
I sepe in many oountrles, the rep-
! resenlat’on of t h e Nativity
, thro'Hzb figures from miniature
; to lifesize goes by many names.
Under any name the re-crea
tion of the manger springs from
one guiding, and abiding, pur-
. piise—'bringing people closer to
Christmas. The highest wonder
of the Christmas story is its sheer
simplicity and reality.
I A Child, the Son of God, born
in a manner on a starry, silent
night is a concept al] can com-
1 prebend because of its closeness
I to human experience.
Anyone who watches a child
before a manger scene this
Christmas will readily see, in the
child’s awe and enthusiasm, tliat
re-creeting llie Miracle of Christ’s
birth is an exalting experience.
BEGINS IN ITALY
Christmas belongs to the peo
ple. So thought St. Francis of
Assisi.
.His way of helping his Italian
parishioners grow closer t o
Christma swas to create the very
, first praesepe, or Chrisimas crib.
I His carol, • The Song of the
.Creatures," made the Nativity
still moi'c real to them since it
told of the lowly animals which
were pari of their lives and live
lihood.
, All this happened early in the
13th century. From that ti.-ne, the
! idea of tiie creche of crib has
'spread to virtually every coun-
; try on the globe.
I 'foday, especially in Latin
. America and Europe, the man
ger scene sets the theme for a
etan srdlums cmfwyp slirdl ww
, holy and happy .Shristmastide.
I TOLD IN RHYME
: The story of the Nativity and
its meaning for m'ankind is a rav-
ored poetic theme, as is the holi-,
i day cheer of hearth and home. 1
I 'Poets as diverse as William
' Shakespeare, Samuel Taylor Col-
jeridge, John Grcenleaf Whittier
j and T. S. Elliott have made their
'contributions.
I .N"meroii.s i-arnis firsl were'
poem—witness Wadsworth I»ng-
I fellow’s “I Heard the Bells on
' Christmas day.”
j “I heard the bells on
1 Christmas Day
I Their old, familiar carols
play.
And wild and sweet the
wa;ds repeat,
'God is not dead, nor
doth He sleep'."
Probably the oveiwhelming
winner, among widely - known
secular Christmas prems is Cle
ment Clark Moore's "A Visit
From St. Nicholas.”
The poem, written for Ins own

INSPIRES MUSIC
In serious music as well as
pojtular carols, the .Nativity

iHandel's "Messiah,’
Bach’s
“Christmas Oratorio,” Bohlioz’
■L’Enfance du Christ” are note
worthy examples of music per
formed year after year at Christ

More recently, Britten's “Cere-
