Nature offers many opportuni ties for creative outlets. The woods, fields, air and water are filled with interesting things to create beautiful effects. The bird feathers, the butterflies and other interesting Insects of the air are very attractive articles to work with art. We find all growing ma terials from 4he woods and fields; such as grasses, reeds, pods and flowers. The water offers us the drift-wood, lily pods, sea shells and sea oates. Be sure to collect all of these on your vacation. In our local school we are in terested in helping retarded chil dren by aiding them to find them selves by being interested in a hobby. Encourage youth to enjoy the wonders of nature and use the ability that God gives us to enlight en their minds, to entertain them and make a living from a hobby. It would help our youth to be more useful citizens. Plant pansy seed irf July. Trans plant in a cold frame to keep over winter. Prune gardenia early in spring only.

Time to Buy Peaches Whether you are interested in getting a pound or a bushel-^ peaches should look and be good to eat. Miss Virginia Wilson, nutritionist for the N. C. Agricultural Exten sion Service, says peaches satisfy the appetite, add color and flavor to a meal and are high in food val ue. When buying peaches, get them big enough to be meaty, plump enough to be juicy. Color should be creamy white or yellow without a greenish, tinge and should have blush-red appetizing overtone. Skin should be smooth and firm without soft red or brown spots which indi cate over-ripeness. Over-ripe fruit may be sweet and juicy but waste ful to buy in quantities that cannot be used immediately. There are white and yellow peaches in both the Clingstone (peach flesh clings to stone) or Freestone (stone pulls away from flesh). Both are delicious.

There’s a wide difference of opinion among learned indivi duals, but for What we consider an expert’s viewpoint we’ve turn ed to Lottie Pugh, who teaches first grade at Brinson Memorial school. Lottie—wife of Craven’s superin tendent of schools—is not only in telligent enough to give a sound evaluation, but compassionate enough to regard each youngster as a challenge and a responsibility rather than a statistic. “I consider environment more important,” she says, “although heredity is important too. A child in bad circumstances or surround ings certamly has a better op portunity to find a worthy place in society, if he or she is given a more favorable- environment. As Lottie sees it, the exceptions only p^oVe the rule. “Children from bad environments sometimes turn out well,” she adnyts, “and children from good environments •turn out poorly. Yet, I’m convinc ed that the highest percentage of good citizens will always come from a good environment.” Speaking of exceptions, she knows full well that children in the same family—^with the same heredity and' environment—^will turn out differently. This is one of the complex aspects of human personality. In the final analysis, each of us is a distinct individual. Lottie, as a sincere and dedi cated teacher, approaches her first graders on that basis. 'There have been many changes in the world since she started out 34 years ago at Brinson Memorial, but no one need tell her that childhood itself is as changeless as dawn and .sun set, and the miracle of Spring. She taught the second grade in, the early years of her career, not only at Brinson Memorial but at Fort Barnwell, Dover and in the New Bern schools. When Bob be came County Superintendent she returned to Brinson Memorial as a first grade teacher. “I realized I had found my place,” she says. “Giving a child the right start is important, so to me the first grade will always be closest to my heart.” Lottie, when we asked for an opinion, didn’t consider herself an authority on this matter of here dity and environment. However, she qualifies as far as we’re con cerned, so we’re passing along her views. We’re inclined to agree that the worst kind of shindigs are those you get under the bridge table.
