Buds
AND
Blossoms
By
MAMIE MILLER
“In my dream, behold a vine was
before me; and in the vine were
three branches; and it was as
though it budded ,and her blos
soms shot forth; and the clusters
thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
and Pharach’s cup was in my hand:
and I took the grapes.’’—Genesis
40:9-11.
“And He shall judge among
many people, and rebuke strong
nations afar off; and they shall
beat their swords into plow shares,
and their spears into pruning
hooks: nations shall not lift up a
sword against nations, neither shall
they learn war any more. But they
shall sit every man under his vine
and under his fig tree: and none
shall make them afraid: for the
mouth of the Lord of hosts hath

spoken it.”—Micah 4: 3-4.
The vine -was planted before the
flood. This was a big business in
the Mediterranean world. Hill side
plantings were popular. Grape
vines are popular in gardens here.
They make nice arbors.
Fertilize rose bushes now. Plant
veronica, nepeta, mussini, astilbe,
dianthus, and tall summer phlox.
Prepare more seed beds for fall
planting.
When fall aproaches, we think
of short days and getting on the
inside of the home at night. When
we think of the grape we know it
was the most honored plant in the
Bible, as quoted at the Last Sup
per. “I am the true vine and My
Father is the husbandman.” —
John 15:1.
As night approaches, we are
reminded of the poem— “Dusk.”
‘These are the things men seek at
dusk:
Firelight across a room.
Green splashing against dim roofs.
Gardens where flowers bloom.
Lamplighted gold of a window
pane,
Trees with tall stars above.
Women who watch a darkening
street
For somebody they love.
Faith of a small child’s rhyming
prayer,
Candle shine. . . table spread
With a blossom or two in a gay
blue bowl.
Fragrance of crusted bread.
For men may dream of a clipper
ship,
A wharf or a gypsy camp.
But their footsteps pattern
homing way
To a woman, a child, a lamp.”

Good Highways
Lead To Safety

 YOU CAN HELP make high

The new Federal-Aid highway

insist that new
roads be constructed as safely as
possible.
Here are some safety measures
—■ proven effective in highway
construction —^^_that deserve your
support.
Wide lanes: Recently when
244 miles of Illinois highways
Were widened from 9 to 11 feet,
accidents decreased 39 percent.'
Broad shoulders: When shoul
ders are wide and firm, drivers
need not fear running off into
roa,dside ditches or'obstructions.
Safest roads have shoulders
eight feet wide or more.
Good sight distance: Because
cars travel at increa.sed speeds
these days, 475 to 600 feet see
ing distance is needed for safe
ty.
Grade separations: Under
passes and overpasses solve in
tersection accident problems.
Other safety features include
easy curves, adequate lighting,
proper channeling of traffic, skid
resistant surfaces, and uniform
signals and markings.
You can have “built-in” safety
in your new—highways if you
speak up in favor of it, and if
you support your state officials
in their plans for safer roads. It’s
up to you. .w
ing the selections are Mrs. Hugh
Mills, Mrs. Mark S. Dunn, Mrs.
Haywood Guion, Mrs. John Hay
wood Jones, Mrs. W.M. Bryan, Mrs.
R. E. Whitehurst, and the librarian,
Mrs. Howard Lancaster.

Many a failure can be attributed
to the fact that a man keeps too

Flea Picking
Tedious Task
At Midnight
Last Saturday night Mike Crary,
like a lot of New Bernians, sat
up to see the televised presenta
tion of the Miss America pageant
in Atlantic City.
Returning to his home, after en
joying the program with friends,
he discovered to his dismay that
his boxer, Apache, was all but
weighed down by fleas.
It seems that Apache had col
lected them in sand under the
house, while the Crarys were away.
He was too miserable to sleep, and
because the boxer is a house dog,
Mike couldn’t sleep either, with all
the commotion.
Search though he did, the local
watchmaker couldn’t find any flea
powder or insect spray. So, in self
defense, he got down on the floor
and proceeded to pick fleas off
Apache until 2 a.m.
After that, both Mike and the
dog got what was left of a good
night’s, or to be more exact, a
good morning's slumber.
