Friday, April 26, 1963 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Page Three Buds AND Blossoms By MAMIE MILLER Somebody questioned the ulti mate cost; Somebody tangled the thread I was using; One day I found that my scis sors were lost. And somebody claimed the material faded; Somebody said I’d be tired ere 'twas worn; Somebody’s fingers, too pointed and spiteful, Snatched at the cloth, and I saw It was torn. Oh! Somebody tried to do all of the sewing, Wanting always to advise or condone. Here Is my life, the product of many; Where Is that gown I could fashion—along? "All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies,’’—Psalm 25:10. Soon as the spring blooming shrubs bloom, cut the branches back. Do not prune after this pruning. It Is making upbloom.s for another year. Snip the buds off chrysth mums every two weeks until July. The blO'Oms will be larger and the stems stronger. Iris may be transplanted as soon as they bloom. Dig them while you know the colors. Cut back the foliage. Put bone meal around them now for next year. It will take a year for It to do any good. Put shapdragons at least six Inches for larger bloom. Keep the old blooms cut off to Insure all summer blooming. Sweat Williams will bloom all sum mer If the seeds are kept off. Cut zinnias and marigolds each day to keep plants strong. Throw all vegetable matter fro.Tn the kitchen on the compost pile. Fish make good material— the water they are washed in will enrich It too. Grow plenty of potted plants to fill In the border when It becomes dull. This week, for our Buds and Blossoms poem, wa have se lected "Life" from the pen of Nan Terrell Reed. They told me that Life could be just what I made it— Life could be fashioned and worn like a gown; I, the designer; mine the de cision Whether to wear it with bon net or crown.

The patient in the next bed has a Major Med ical Expense Policy from your agency. She pays the first few hundred dollars, but the huge bill is paid by the company. Does this policy cost very much?” For the answer to this and all your insurance questions consult the John R. Taylor Agency. Phone ME 7-3866.

NEW BERN, N. C. WHAT KIND OF A YARDSTICK IS THIS? Rural electric co-ops call themselves yardsticks . . . yardsticks for measuring the fairness of rates charged by electric companies. At best they are only part of a yardstick . . . nearer 22 inches . . . hardly suitable for measuring businesses which operate under an entirely different set of rules. Remember, REA co-ops are subsidized with 2 per cent government loans, they pay no taxes, and they are free from regulation. Electric companies are regulated and taxed. Rules under which the two operate are so different that CP&L, for example, must use about 40 cents of every dollar it receives from customers to pay taxes and financing costs— normal utility costs which taxpayers bear for the co-ops. To become the yardsticks they claim to be, the electric co-ops would have to give up their subsidies, pay taxes and accept regulation as utility companies do.
