We are all urged to plant enough for fresh use, and additional pro- iuce for canning storing and freezing. ^ The tentative date for our Garden Festival has been set for September 6th. This should be ear ly enough for a large number of entries in the fresh fruit and ''egetablie departments and late enough for our harvest crops and canned products. Entries may be niade in the name of an employee. jointly in the name of the em ployee and wife (or husband.) It emphasized that all entries must “e personally grown and packed “y the entrant, and all produce exhibited must be from the 1946 crop. A column on gardening will con- Ijnue to be a regular feature of the Echo. This column will be for your information, so don’t hesi tate to send in your questions and ^iiggestions. Every good garden grows in someone’s head first — carefully planned and thought out. Figure °ut how much space you have for and that, balancing your plans against the needs and likes of your family. Then plan your Sarden so that no space will be ®®led or idle all season. The best home garden crops in this section are tomatoes, beans, arrots, beets, lettuce, potatoes nd squash, include also some ^•■eens. if you don’t like spinach, try some others—Swiss chard. j '*?^ard greens, turnips or col- ^ros. The new leaf vegetable, ampala, is rapidly becoming a avorite with many. Make several antings of sweet corn, and use veral varieties, so that it will ready for use all along; Golden OSS Bantam and Stowell’s Ever- ^ een are good varieties.

The above picture was made' during the recent visit to Ecusta by Dr. Frank Graham, president of the University of North Carolina. Dr. Graham was accompanied by Mrs. Graham and Mr. and Mrs. D.

Word. me $50 to resign from the Club.” “Hold out for a hundred,” coun selled Mr. Herford. “You’ll get it.” Consider the earthworm: The streamlined little animals are busy practically all year around and there are about 50,000 of them per acre of arable ground. They move three tons of soil per acre every year and they bring three inches of highly productive earth to the surface every fifteen years. They keep the ground circulating, and allow the air and rain to enter, be sides allowing probing roots to continue on their way. Fishermen, beware! Don’t imagine that they are too particular now, but before the war, most waiters, barbers, por ters and similar public servants in Japan liked to receive tips en closed in small envelopes made for the purpose. The presentation of “naked” money offended them as being a lack of consideration for their feelings. See if it isn’t true: If you hear an unusual word or name for the first time, you meet with it again in the course of 24 hours. Fathers send their sons to col lege, either because they them selves went to college, or because they didn’t. A romantic nation, the United States. If you don’t think so, note these names of cities: Admire, Kansas; Caress, W. Va.; Romance, Ark.; Lo^e, Miss.; Lovely, Ky.; Lovelock, Nev.; Devotion, N. C.; Bliss, Mo. The secret of being tiresome is to tell everything. Any girl can handle the beast in a man if she’s cagey enough. Young thing: “Not only has he broken my heart and ruined my life, but he’s messed up my entire evening!” There is in Utah an eating place called the Grabeteria, where sand wich materials of all kinds, breads, fruits and sweets are displayed, and the business men who throng the place at noon prepare their own lunches. The most honest man in New York, we believe, is the executive in the R C A building, who steps two feet out of his office every time his secretary follows his in structions and tells a caller that he is not in. After 150 years, the truth is out about Benjamin Franklin. “The name ‘Poor Richard’ might easily have been derived from his bank account, rather than from hi' almanac,” said William Fultor Kurtz, after reading early records of the Bank of North America, where Franklin and many of his illustrious compatriots kept their money. “He was overdrawn at least three days out of every week.” Advertisement in London Times: “A young man on the point of be ing married is desirous of meeting a man of experience, who will dis suade him from such a step.” Daffynitions: CHIROPRACTOR —a guy who gets paid for what an ordinary guy would get slapped for. VIRTUE — according to my gal, is the thing that may be its own reward,—but she doesn’t want to be overpaid. SAILBOAT —a nautical craft called “she” be cause it makes a better showing in a breeze. LECTURE—the pro cess by which the notes of the pro fessor became the notes of the students, without passing through the minds of either. FRIEND— on Broadway, it is a guy who has the same enemies you have. BATHING SUIT—like a barbed wire fence, it’s designed to pro tect the property without obstruc ting the view. On the back of the saJary checks received by the faculty at Uni versity of Illinois appear the fol lowing directions: “If endorse ment is made by mark (X) it must be witnessed by two persons who can write, giving their place of residence.” One day, one of the greatest bores of the Players’ Club said to Oliver Herford, “Oliver, I have been grossly insulted. Just as I passed that group over there, I heard someone say he would give A lad once asked Mozart how to write a symphony. Mozart said,- “You’re a very young man. Why not begin with ballads?” The aspirant urged, “You com posed symphonies when you were 10 years old.” “Yes,” replied Moxart, “but I didn’t ask ’how?’ ” When R. E. Lee Marshall was: at school in Virginia, it was the custom of the headmaster to call on one of the boys each morning to read a passage from the Scrip ture. One day a boy began the 25th chapter of St. Matthew: “Then shall the kingdom of Heaven be likened unto ten Vir ginians, whith took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride groom. And five of them were wise and five were foolish.” The headmaster stopped the boy, and told him to repeat the passage. The boy read it exactly as before. Again the headmaster stopped him, and remained a few moments in deep thought. At last he said sadly, “Well, if the Bible says so it must be true. But I never would have believed there were five foolish Virgini- ans.” Oscar Wilde arrived at his club one evening, after witnessing a first production of a play that was a complete failure. “Oscar, how did your play go to-night?” asked a friend. “Oh,” was the lofty response, “the play was a great success, but the audience was a failure.” Near the end of the Civil War, when the Confederate forces were falling back on Richmond, an old darky, asked by his mistress for encouraging news, replied, “Well, missy, due to the lie of de land where dey’s fightin’, dem Yankees is retreatin’ forward, while we is advancin’ backwards.” Robert Donat, English screen star, was a guest of honor at an —Turn To Page Thirteea
