AARS tags on rose bushes for
All-American rose selections. They
are tested two years in various
soils by an organization sponsored
by the leading nurseries. We real
ly love the last roses of the season
—they leave that fragrance in the
air. The following poem by Thomas
Moore is a very beautiful one:
The Last Rose of Summer
’Tis the last rose of summer
Left bioooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No flower or her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh.
To reflect back her blushes
Or give sigh for sigh.
I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping.
Go sleep there with them.
Thus kindly I scatter
'Thy leaves o’er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow.
When friendships decay.
And from Love’s shining circle
The gems drop away;
When true hearts lie withered
And fond ones are flown.
Oh! Who would inhabit
The bleak world alone?
It will be a shock to men when
they realize that though they were
fast enough for today are not fast
enough for tomorrow.
—Christopher Morley.

Tips on Purchase
Of a Winter Coat
For Your Daughter
Are you buying your daughter
a coat this fall? If so, buy with
care. A goat is a big item in your
daughter’s wardrobe because it
costs a lot of money, is worn many
places, and must l^st more than one
year.
Miss Julia Mclver, clothing spe
cialist for the N. C. Agricultural
Extension Service, advises mothers
to hdlp their daughters choose
coats wisely. She will want to be in
style and her choice should be
one to fit her needs. Many synthe
tic fabrics are lightweight and
warm.
Select a coat that will grow with
your daughter. Some growing fea
tures are raglan sleeves, no ^defi
nite waistline, and cuffs that can
be let down. Read labels attached
to garment to find fiber content
and how to care for the garment.
Color is the news in classic
tweeds. They are playing a strong
role in the coat market. You’ll see
a new range of colors—muted
greens, golden browns, and bluish
reds. Often these colors are com
bined in marvelous two-tone and
tapestry effects.
According to Miss Mclver, coats
have a simpler, classic air. The car
digan coat- with scarf tie is a nat
ural in a year when plaids are pop
ular. It can be ensembled with a
pleated skirt in the same plaid.
The double-breasted classic coat
emphasizes the incoming mannish
trend, but is kept from being se
vere by color choice. Deep collars,
multiple pockets, and interesting
buttons are important. Other styles
are becoming but you should al
ways keep in mind lasting qualities
of the coat.
INVASION
Gorizia, Italy — An invasion by
tens of thousands of bees forced
the closing of a local marmalade
factory. The insects, first attract
ed by piles of empty sugar sacks
outside, swarmed into the plant
Workers fought back with sprays
and swatters, but it was a losing
battle, what with stings and mar
malade ruined by poisonous sprays
The plant had to remain closed un
til the bees were driven out by ex
perts.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE
MEN FOR THEIR
CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Someone has said that the be
havior of smart children often in
dicates that they don’t smart in the
right places. In other words, a
child is like a canoe, it behaves
better if paddled from the rear.
New Bern parents—with their
full share of impudent and dis
obedient moppets—are very much
aware of their lack of discipline.
Yet, few of them resort to the use
of a switch, except on rare occa
sions.
Spare the rod and spoil the child
is an adage as old as the hills, and
itq true that youngsters who came
along in past generations appeared
to have more respect for—or per
haps more fear of their parents.
No_ local mother or father has
any desire to be pictured as a
boogey man or a cruel tyrant by
his or her offspring. And offhand,
we can’t think of anything more
distasteful than having your own
child look at you with apprehen
sion and terror every time you
come into view.
That’s probably 4n the mind of
New Bern mothers and fathers,
when they fail to administer pun
ishment that is due. That and the
undeniable fact that giving a child
a thrashing or even a vigorous
spanking is far more upsetting to
the parent than it is to the brat.
Long after your youngster’s post
erior has cooled off, and he has
gone out to play, you’ll be as nerv
ous as a long-tailed tomcat in' a
room full of rocking chairs. So it’s
true—though kids will never be
lieve it—that a whipping hurts you
far more than the misbehaving
juvenile who receives it.
Quite often your youngster picks
meal time to act up. Spanking him
then ruins dinner or supper for the
whole family, so you put it off un
til later. And who among us won’t
chicken out on our responsibility,
rather than grab a switch or a pad
dle and start banging away after-
the incident that provoked us is
an hour or so old?
All of which helps to explain
why spanking has gone out oi!
style, and parents are confronted
with problem children.
Humility is a virtue all preach,
none practice.—John Selden.
