“He hath made everything beau
tiful in its time: also He hath set
eternity in their hearts.”—Ecclesi
astes 3:11.
“For everything there is an ap
pointed time: And there is a time
for every purpose under the heav
ens.” Ecclesiastes 3:1.
Many flowers bloom during the
night and close when the sun comes
up. Some flowers tell the time of
day. Morning glories and moon
vines open early in the morning
and close up with the rising of the
sun. The four or five o’clocks open
at that particular time of day.
Water lilies bloom only when
the sun does not strike them. Day
lilies bloom only in daylight. The
bright sunny primrose blooms only
in the morning. Althea and hibis-
fcus last only one day. We call such
plants and trees such as Mimosa,
sleeping ones. ,
Lots of these types of plants
have a sweet odor. Portulaca makes
a beautiful display in the morn
ing—but colorless in the afternoon.
Cypress vines are more improved
than they were many years ago.
The colors are more beautiful and
the blooms are larger but they
still go to sleep.
Transplant chrysanthemums dur
ing this month. Divide your hardy
asters. Add lime to your lawn. Add
compost to all plants now.
Notice the cherry-laurels bloom
ing now. We have our own Caro
lina cherry-laurel and the Euro
pean ones. Both of them have
sweet blooms and black berries
and a dependable broad leaf ever
green. More Carolinians should use
them in their plantings. 4*

Consider your garden accesso
ries, These things put personality
in your garden. Select your acces
sories to match your surroundings.
An old mossy log bench in one spot
might be just right but an attrac
tive old-fashioned wrought iron set
tee and chair might add. the dig
nity in another garden that is nec
essary for a look of distinction.
Stoneware, a bottle that shines,
a strawberry jar, bird baths, sun
dials, and lawn furniture add to
your garden.
The birds appreciate your con
sideration in their housing units,
too. Make them desirable as ten
ants by making their home a safe
distance from the earth and away
from prey. They will pay you with
their sweet little notes.
Have you been seeing the card
inals and blue birds around? Look
in your bird bath!
James Buchham has beautifully
described our world in this lovely
poem—
The Heart's Proof
Do you ask- me how I prove
That our Father, God, is love?
By this world which He hath made.
By the songs of grove and blade.
By the brooks that singing run.
By the shining of the sun.
By the breeze that cools my brow.
By fresh odors by the plow.
By the daisy’s golden head.
Shining in the fields I tread.
By the chorus of the bees.
In the flowering willow trees,
By the gentle dews and rains.
By the farmer’s springing grain.
By the- light of golden, eyes,
;Byj;he,. sheen ctf'-lereid jeives,
®y/^e siV^tS ^twiwdlSiid 's;frings.
By the joy right-doing brings—
By a thousand, thousand things!
—James Buchham
Second thoughts are all right,
but don’t spend too much time on
the job.

1 Want to Live!' Stirring,
Unforgettable Picture
There is no one who can see “I
Want to Live!”, the United Artists
release which opens Sunday at the
Kehoe Theater, and remain unmov
ed by the drama that unfolds.
Whether it be that the picture is
based on a true-to-life story, or
that the performance of its star,
Susan Haward, represents one of
the screen’s greatest interpreta
tions, or the script and direction
was top notch, or a little of all
those things, “I Want to Live!” is
a picture that will never die.
Tl^e story is that of Barbara
Graham, her wild, unconformist
way of life, her alleged crime
(murder of a woman as an accom
plice of two hardened criminals)
her controversial trial and her sub
sequent harrowing execution in
California’s gas chamber. Susan
Hayward plays Barbara, a most de
manding role, with singular depth
and understanding. She performs
a masterful portrayal of a woman
who could switch from arch cyni
cism and sarcasm one moment to
a sentimental, loving, understand
ing mother, the next. As a matter
of fact, all the characters, which
are based upon real-life counter
parts, come through with stark,
graphic and powerful portrayals.
As jazz, the progressive jazz of
the fifties, was part and parcel of
Barbara’s life. Producer Walter
Wanger and Director Robert Wise
incorporated jazz as it has never
been used in a film before—it is
an integral part of the picture. The
original score was written by John
Mandel and played by a combo con
sisting of Gerry Mulligan, Shelly
Manne, Art Farmer, Bud Shank,
Red Mitchell and Frank Rosolino.
The drama-packed script, based
on the authentic records of the
Barbara Graham case, was written
by Nelson Gidding and Don Man-
kiewicz.
Every man has his price—and
most of them sell out to the highest
bidder.

MEDITATION
There is, in the invisible uni
verse, that which takes up what
we initiate and fulfills it according
to its kind. The seed of desire or
faith or action sets forth on its
processes under the care of uni
versal law, and arrives at its des
tined development. Men are plant
ing those seeds all the time. The
man who is diligent in the plant
ing of good seed will find after
awhile that he always has some
thing coming to fulfillment, to
fruition. And as the period of wait
ing is filled with labor, there is
no fruitless waiting. Learning, la
boring, and waiting are the ingredi
ents, of achievement.
“Still achieving, still pursuing.
Learn to labor and to wait.”
—^Henry Ford
Wherever thirsty
people are...
NO END
The thing some men don’t seem
to realize is that they can learn a
little every day and still not know
it all.
