Pag6 6 THE NEW BERN MtRROR, NEW BERN, N. C Friday, June 6, 1958 Buds AND Blossoms By MAMIE MUJ.ER “Let crown ourselves with rosebuds'’' before they be wither ed.”—Wisdom of Solomon 11-8, June is the month of roses. They are sentimental. We smell the odor of the rose from the old fashioned garden, the rose-petal path to the altar, the old-fashion ed arm bouquet of the bride, and the little twisted rosebud from the leaves of thfi Bible. Through the years the roses has been a favorite blossom to many people. There are many patented roses on the market.

The ones that are dearest to oiu: hearts are the odd fashioned ones such as French roses, Damasks, Sweetheart, Lady Hamilton, Mare- chal Niel, Captain Williams, and the Austrian copper. The oldest rose is the cabbage rose, a member of the moss rose family, known as rose centifolia. This rose was written about by Homer and Herodolus. It is a deep pink and very hairy on the stems. It was brought to this country from England in 1596. Since roses are so sentimental, we love to make rose bowls (pot pourri). It is a good time to gather petals to dry in a box, and let wither one half the size of the original in a dry place. Stir petals so air can circulate occasionally. Place in container with salt sprinkled between one- half inch layers, packed tightly for two weeks. Change to another con tainer and put alternate layers of petals and a mixture of the follow ing: One ounce of all-spice, (ground) and cloves and shredded cinnamon. Let stand for four weeks in a dark' place. Prepare a mixture of one- fourth ounce of mace; one-fourth pound of dried lavendar; one-half ounce of all-spice; one-half ounce of ground clove; one-half ounce erf grated nutmeg; one-half ounce of annis seed; one-half ounce of ground cinamon.

Hall, safety educa tion expert and winner of Miss Smith the 1967 American Museum of Safety award: 1. Conform to the speed of general traffic. This practice minimizes costly “stop and go” driving and eliminates the need for others to pass or cut in ahead of you. 2. If you’re going to stay on the same street for some distance, pick the least obstructed lane and stay in it. Always signal — and look — before changing lanes. When preparing to turn, move into the appropriate lane well in advance, and signal your turn. 3. Always slow down at inter sections; your view may be ob structed. And when you stop at an intersection, be sure not to block the pedestrian crosswalk. 4. Never double-park; you’ll block traffic, or worse, force other drivers to take danger ous chances. When leaving your parked car, always use the door on the curb side. And when you’re driving alongside a line of parked cars, watch for the telltale opening door on the street side — it may be the sign of an accident in the making. 6. Always be alert for pedestri ans — a special ;ity-driving haz ard. Don’t expect them to under stand your driving problems. £. Slow down and be especially alert whenever you see children afoot or on bicycle. > put a few drops of bitter glmond or rose-geranium oil, and place in a permanent jar. “Let Fate do her worst, there are relics of joy, Bright dreams of the past which she cannot destroy, Which come in the night time of sorrow and care And bring back the features that Joy used to wear. Long, long be my heart with such memories filled, Like the vase in which roses once distilled; You may break, you may shatter ithe vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.” —Thomas Moore.
