Piece of Fabric Goes Long Way in Home
McKana and St. Brigial Double
Anemone. They are perennials
that will grow from two to three
feet high. They will make an
impressive contribution to your
family of flowers.
Cannas play an important
part in giving a garden a good
background. The foliage is
always beautiful, and very
healthy. They bloom from July
to heavy frost. Cannas come in
all colors. They may be used in
borders, as accent plants, and
make good screening.
Plant plenty of coleus seed
indoors, to use in borders when
the danger of frost is over.
Coleus Oriental Splendor,
Coleus Rainbow Fringed
Leaved, and Coleus Brilliant
will give you beautiful colors.
You may also have plenty of
plants to give to friends and
family.
Share with us this week’s
Buds and Blossoms poem from
the pen of Sara Teasdale. She
titled it Solitary.
My heart has grown rich with
the passing of years,
I have less ne^ now than
when I was young
To share mys^ with every
comer
Or shape my thoughts into
words with my tongue.
*• -r-
It is one to me that they come or
go
If I have myself and the drive
of my will.
And strength to climb on a
summer’s night
And watch the stars swarm
over the hill.
Let them think I love them more
than I do.
Let them think I care, though
I go alone;
If it lifts their pride, what is it to
me
Who am self-complete as a
flower or a stone.

This is the age of
evolution and revolution
for everything, including
house furnishings.
So a Davidson County
homemaker decided to.
use the same fabric for
three quite different
purposes.
First, Mrs. Paul
Huffman, Winston-Salem,
Rt. 9, selected a beautiful
heavy fabric for dra
peries. Then she decided
she needed a long skirt
for evening wear, so she
artistically designed a
skirt from fabric
remnants.
Later on Mrs. Huff
man refashioned the skirt
into two accent pillows
and a footstool covering.
Textiles are exciting
to any homemaker who
is creative enough to use
one piece of fabric three
ways, believes Mrs. Jane
Ebert, home economics
extension agent.
RIGHT SMART
A Columbus County
homemaker, who had
sewn for 40 years,
decided to attend noon
hour clothing construc
tion classes for working
girls.
During the classes the
lady asked a lot of ques
tions and was often
advised to check her
pattern guide sheet, for
the answers to her
specific problem.
At the end of the last
mini-class the home
maker told everyone that
the people who wrote the
pattern guides really did
know what they were
doing and were right
smart after all, espe
cially when her methods
failed and theirs worked.
She’s decided that the
safest way to make a
garment is to follow the
pattern sheet, confirms
Ann Bobo, assistant home
economics extension
agent and mini-class
instructor.
GREASY SINK
If your kitchen sink
becomes very greasy,
pour a little household
ammonia into it and rub
with a cloth.
This will remove all
