TODAY'S GARDEN-GRAPH ______ - .. ; \ SIL-HOU-ETT-E. OF \ PIN OAK TREE 3-27 LEAF OF THE PIN OAK Selecting A Shade Tree For Home Grounds BY DEAN HALLIDAY * 'j Distributed by Central Press Association A garden lends charm to one’s heme, trees give it dignity. They also e.nclrance the value of the property. Therefore, when selecting trees for planting on the home grounds, choose long-lived ones -which become more beautiful with age. Do not plant trees which are likeiy to break easily in storms. Also avoid untidy trees. Short-lived trees are the silver maples. Scotch pines, willows, poplars’ and cottonwood. Long lived trees are the oak, red pines, sugar maples and beeches. The pin oak, illustrated in the accompanying Garden-Graph, is one of the most attractive oaks native of North America. Known also as the Spanish oak and swamp oak, it makes an excellent shade tree for home grounds. The branches of the pin oak are thick Jy set with stiff pin-like twigs. from which it gets its name. Its bark is rather smooth and gray ish or dark brown in color. Also illustrated is its leaf. The pin oak can be planted in April just as the leaf buds are coming to life and before they are fully open. Small trees may be moved with bare roots. When planting this tree do not trim the leader or main branch. Other of its branches can be trimmed back if necessary to “shape” it. It grows rapidly and will make a beautiful, symmetrical lawn tree. When it is in foliage, its cut leaves give the tree a lacy ap pearance. In the autumn its bril liant red coloring and the acorns it bears make it still more attrac tive. Its acorns differ somewhat from those of other oaks in that they are wider than long. The pin oak is a hardy tree and can be planted with assurance that it will thrive even under “city conditions.” District Meet Of Auxiliary Held Friday Episcopal churches of Wilming 'ton and surrounding districts were well represented at a district meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary held at the Church of the Good Shepherd today.

Concert Association. The gifted artist made his first acquaintance with his instrument at a very early age. With his father Reyes Camejo, a well-known com poser, and his mother an accom plished harpist, there was always music in Angel Reyes' Havana home, but a child he gave evi dence that he was to be the bright r ' star in the family firmament. Angel Reyes began lessons with Professor Juan Torroella, and at twelve made his first public ap pearance. Shortly thereafter he won first prize against profession als of mature years, in a compe tition sponsored by the Havana Philharmonic Orchestra. His debut recital at the Salle de L’Ecole dc Musique prepared with Touche and Marcel Darrieux. con cert master of the Colonne Orches tra and L’Opera Comique, was a sensational success and the begin, ning of an ever climaxing artistic progress. His New York debut in 1941 at Carnegie Hall brought forth such critical comment as “Reyes is born to play the violin.” Subsequent performances, includ ing appearance with such major orchestras as the New York Phil harmonic-symphony under Artur Rodzinski and the Philadelphia or chestra under Eugene Ormandy, numerous network radio engage ments such as the Voice of Fire stone broadcast, have spread his fame throughout the United States.

It is the picture ma.riag, that the wives of successful m#i almost always paint. And yet the popular mod®., idea of a marriage partnership i| one in which the wife expects tht husband to come home from his work to share her duties a„js problems. Women have come to think that the man who doesn't want to listen to how hard tht little woman has worked ail div help her figure out what to do about this annoyance or that, ;r.; lend a hand with the housework, is a selfish sort who doesn't ap preciate his wife. The husband wno does all those things may be a eomlort around tile house. But the woman who wants her man to get ahead should take a tip from the wives of successful men and look on the meaning of marriage “partner ship'’ in a different light. A man and woman are just a> much partners if the woman it semes as her job all responsibility for running the house and taking care of the problems that tow up in connection with that job. Then home is a refuge to her husband. It’s a place wh°re he can rest and relax -and then go back to his job each day ready to meet it-s challenges. It is really a question of wheth er a woman wants her husband to succeed in his life’s work—oi whether she wants him to be a sort of mother's helper. She real ly shouldn’t expect both.
