spot, leaf spot, snow mold and
others. Care should be taken to kill
all insects. Ants, chinch bugs, sod
webworms and white grubs are us
ually in most lawns. Moles are
found when insects are there to
feed them.
Many weeds may be killed dur
ing winter and spring months. Crab
grass, chick weed, foxtail, knot-
weed, plaintain, clover and dande
lion can be very pesky. Wild on
ions make an ugly lawn.
Do not plant grass seed deep.
Put four pounds of seed to every
1,000 square feet of lawn. Top dress
with one-eighth inch of compost.
Don’t ever cut grass any closer
than one and one-half inches.
Fall is a good time to plant
Phlox Decunata. This as a hardy
summer phlox. that blooms from
June until October. Many colors
are available. Charles Curtis is a
sunset red, Jules Sandeau is a deep
rose pink, Lillian is a delicate pure
pink, Mary Louise is a large show
white and Miss Lingard is a white
one with faint pink shading.
Put out plenty of pansies. The
super Swiss Giants are excellent
ones in a great variety of colors.
The Jumbo Mixed is an extra large
variety with large foliage. The But
terfly Hybrids come in colors of
butterflies, such as apricot, terra
cotta, and rosy orchid shades. You
may purchase all of the above in
separate colors. You may buy them
in Blue Boy, Coronation gold, rasp
berry rose, Swiss Berna and Swiss
White.
Plant plenty of English daisies.
They come in Monstrosa, deep rose,
double red, double mixed and dou
ble white. They make a garden.
Plant your garden with great anti
cipation and wait—^tb see the reve
lation of creation. We love the
lines of Whittier:

MEDITATION
Over the years I’ve seen a lot of
sports—my favorite to watch is
football. It is an excellent builder
of youth, and I recommend it for
any young man.
It teaches him hundreds of les
sons that will follow him through
life.
There comes to mind: physical
fitness, preparedness, perspective,
perserverance, stamina and forti
tude. To lead, and give orders or to
take orders, and follow instruc
tions. It teaches him to think, to
memorize, to be mentally alert
and physically fit.
He learns to act quickly, think
accurately under pressure. It teach
es him to push and fight harder
when the going gets tough. It
teaches him to set a goal for him
self and others. He learns to call
on his best, and promote the best
in his fellows. To work together as
a team.
It teaches him to give everything
he has to a dedicated purpose.
It also teaches him to take defeat
as a stepping stone toward better
ing himself and his teammates for
their next game. It teaches-him to
give credit to the victor, yet causes
him to reach down and face a new
foe with renewed vigor. To take
the hard knocks and to try-r-try—
and try again. To play it f^ir, and
never lose heart.
Of course they make mistakes.
This happens in all endeavor.

Every New Bern parent knows
how stubborn a child can be about
giving up' his or her discarded play
things.
Toys and books are quickly out
grown, but seldom does your young
ster fail to hoard his once prized
possessions after they have lost all
appeal. In that respect, kids are
just like their Mom and Dad.
One of the best lessons we can
teach our moppets is the joy of
sharing what they have with oth
ers. Far be it from this column to
suggest that your little girl give up
the battered doll she is keeping for
sentimental reasons. However, such
keepsakes can be held to a mini
mum with proper guidance from
you.
And, in holding them to a mini
mum, you won’t be depriving your
child. Instead, by teaching your off
spring that giving tio someone else
less fortunate is important, you’ll
enrich his or her life.
A good place to begin is with the
many childhood books stored away
in closets or attics. There are thou
sands of these books stacked or
scattered in New Bern homes, and
the 'majority are in good condition.
Talk the matter over with your
child, and suggest that he or she
give them to an underprivileged
youngster of his acquaintance. In
lieu of that, they will be put to
good use if they are turned over
to the Salvation Army or some oth
er organization.
For example, members of the
Junior Woman’s club would be hap
py to get them for the fine'work
they are doing at Caswell Training
School. Call Mrs. Morton Lipman,
or any other member, and they will
pick the books up. Better still,
make arrangements to deliver the
books to them and this will save
them the trouble. The time you
save these young women will be de
voted to the project in other ways.
When you have done this, call
The Mirror and tell us how many
books your child has contributed. ,
We’ll give him a pat on the back in
Tot Talk. We can make a lot of
boys and gfrls happy if we try.

There are times when the home
town fans are discouraged because |
of a losing streak. They do a lot
of criticizing after the game is ov
er. Hindsight experts, after the an
swers are in their laps.
However, one of the most won
derful things to see that swells the
heart with pride and admiration, is
when you see those young stalwarts
at the beginning of a game, fall to
their knees at the sidelines,, before
thousands of people. A stilled hush
penetrates the immediate atmos
phere as they sincerely pray. And
win—or lose—the humble ritual is
repeated at the end of each game,
in the center of the field. Hundreds
of students move out quickly, to
take p^t.
Have courage, parents and fans.
For there being instilled, is the
most wonderful and rewarding
fruits of their effort. Down there
on that field is Character in the
making. This is the worth while
victory that tops them all.
In the years to come other scores
will long be forgottten—but, the
score of character, and integrity,
once chalked up, is hard to erase.
Be of good cheer—your kid is in
excellent hands, and we owe their
leaders a tremendous debt of gratir
tude.
