Garden club work has begun all
over the state. Garden clubbers
fell real proud to help grow and
maintain beauty in our state. The
theme for our garden club is “To
gether We Grow.” The theme for
the New Bern Garden club is New
Bern, Our Hometown—^To con
serve, to reverence, to beautify.
The official collect of garden clubs
of North Carolina is:
Our Heavenly Father, who dost
feed the birds and clothe the flow
ers, and who knoweth and careth
for every need of us. Thy children,
so enlighten our minds to use. wise
ly all the gifts of Thy Mighty Hand
that we, imbued with Thy Holy
^irit, may so work Thy will that
those who came after mark their
path by our footsteps.
For all our families, our friends,
our free and beautiful country.
Father in Heaven we thank Thee.

Song
Now sleeps the crimson, now the
white;
Nor waves the cypress in the
palace walks;
Nor winks the gold fin in the
porphyry font:
Now droops the milk white
peacock like a ghost.
And like a ghost she glimpiers on
to me.
Now lies the earth all Danae to
the stars.
And all thy heart lies open unto
me.
Now slides the silent meteor on,
and leaves
A shining furrow, as thy thoughts
in me.
Now folds the lily all her-sweet-
ness up.
And slips into the bosom of the
lake:
So fold thyself, my dearest, thou
and slip
Into my bosom and be lost in me.
—Alfred Tennyson.

Katina Leris, who lives at 811
Clark Avenue, was only three when
she moved to New Bern from
Athens, Greece, eight ye«ra ago.
Naturally, this dark' eyed young
lady recalls very little about her
native land.
Hwever, like most of our
foreign bom, she knows a great
deal about America and appreciates
its many blessings. In our limited
acquaintance with her, we’ve
found her to be a most delightful
youngster.
Her playmates find her a delight
ful friend too, and particularly en
joy belonging to the very exclu
sive club that meets in the garage
in back of her home. It’s an all-girl
organization, ■ and no boy is al
lowed to know its secrets or ven
ture within its restricted portals.
Despite this deep secrecy, a little
bird has passed along some flatter
ing information to us. According
to the little bird, members of the
club make it a point to read 'The
Mirror at their meetings each
week.
As part of the regular order of
business, one member gets up in
front of the group and reads it to
the rest. Much of the interest cen
ters around our list of the top ten •
tunes in New Bern.
Each member is furnished a pen
cil and a piece of paper before the
list of tunes is read out. Then they
write down their guesses as to
which are the top tunes, and the
order in which they appear in 'Die
Mirror. The winner gets a free
serving of ice cream, at club ex
pense, when the ice cream man
comes by with his truck.
We would like for Katina and
the other members of the club to,
know that such interest on their
part is deeply appreciated. One. of
the satisfying things about publish
ing our paper is the way it has
been received by New Bern’s young
people.
What we didn’t anticipate was
the fact that they would not only
read columns like Tot Talk, Teen
Topics and the Top Ten Tunes,
but other material slanted at
adults. In short, they have exhibit
ed a general,interest.
