Page Two THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, February 4, 1966 I It isn’t Just home town pride when we proclaim, with con siderable emphasis, that New Bern’s own Janet Latham is television’s most deUghtful en tertainer of children in this en tire viewing area. Generally speaking, each of the three tv staUons in our coastal secUon do a creditable Job with their staff produced Juvenile programs, but Janet’s portion of the WNBE Channel 12 Fun House is handled so well that she is in a class by her self. An excellent commercial ar tist, she wasn’thired to perform before the camera. Chiefly, her duties called for the creation of drawings to be used in con- irs Broddy's FOR DRY CLEANING A LAUNDRY Pick-Up and Delivery Service 320 First Str««t ME 7-2159 Junction with advertising and promotional sports. Fortunately, someone at WNBE came up with the bright idea of having Janet appear on a children’s show, where she could complete impromptu pic tures from a stral^t or curved line, or a lopsided circle that- moppets placed on a page of her drawing board. Adults as well as small tots marvel each afternoon at the way she converts these mean ingless scrawls into animals, trees, houses, automobiles, boats, and humans. Her imag ination seems to have no limits. Janet’s greatest charm as a television personality, aside from her remarkable talent as an artist, stems from the fact that she makes no attempt to project an Image that isn’t her true self. Parents who have never met her may have wondered what the real Janet Latham Is like. Speaking with the knowledge of an old and admiring friend, we hasten to say that a visit with her m Fun House, via your home television set is suf ficient to reveal her as she is and has always been. Her sweet smile, as pleasant as any you’ll ever see on your screen, is authentic. She wears it off camera too. And her gen tle, reassuring manner with children Isn’t fabricated. Janet Is Uke that with everybody. No doubt about It, she head’s our list.

GARDEN TIME By M. E. GARDNER N. C. State College The purning of ornamental shrubs is one garden opera tion which is most likely to be neglected, poorly done or over done. Many gardeners still think that they are not doing a good Job unless they do heavy cutting or, sometimes, de-hornlng. Such treatment results in de stroying the character of the plant and It may require two or three years to overcome such severe pruning. In the mean time, the plants look ugly and their growth processes are slowed down due to the heavy reduction of leaf area. Frequently, the wrong plant is selected for a particular location, when preparing the landscape plan for your home, and then an effort Is made to keep the plant in bounds by pruning. It is much the bet ter plan to select the right plant for the right location in the beginning, and thus your pruning problems are reduced to a minimum. If you have plants which need pruning, now is a good time to get the Job done. I like what 1 choose to call deep pruning. This type of pruning is em ployed to correct growth in such broadleaved evergreen plants as Bur ford’s Chinese holly, ligustrum, sasanqua camellia, photinla and other similar types. To me, it is a sensible treatment because if you had not seen the plant be fore pruning you probably could not recc^lze that it had been pruned at all. As an example we might con sider two Burfordl plants grow ing in good locations. They are about six foet tall and have a spread of about eight feet. They need some corrective pruning but no severe treatment. Remember that you are going deep by removing whole branches from the inside and some shorter laterals from the periphery or outside. This will require careful study before you do any pruning because you want to accomplish two things: main tain the general shape and char acter of the plant; and select only those branches which will not remove too much foliage in any one area of the plant. The idea is to open up the plant uniformly rather than PHONE US FOR YOUR FUEL OIL Tommy Davis Oil Co. 707 Chattowko Lon* Dial 63G5100 leaving gaping holes here and there. This will admit light penetration and promote the growth of foliage on the inner portions. Now is a good time, also, to check your shade trees. There are always some small limbs which have died due to shading. These are rather easily re- nfoved and, in many cases, you can remove them yourself with a pruning saw, if the trees are not too tall. Removal now will prevent wind breakage dur ing summer storms and clutter ing your lawn grasses.
