Whether the sun shines or the
rain pours, the beaches continue
to serve as a magnet for the many
fans of bowling, bir.go, and water
sports. Seems as if Saturday night
can jump a wee bit ahead of the
rest of the date-occasions as far
as meeting the gang or seeing the
people we know getting about. As
we ventured to tr.e various spots
of entertainment last week-end,
we encountered a good many of
the crowt,
A step or *o in the bowling al
ley, a great big “why . . . howdy!”
f.om the direction of the fountain,
and there stood one of the great
est beachcombers that has yet
been! The greeting came from
that character working behind the
counter, Randy Oglesby. Randy
rode across the ole’ familiar
trestle late Saturday afternoon,
and began improving them thar’
muscles at one of his olt jobs of
soda-jerking.
After a bit of conversing, I dis
covered that Randy and Tinker
Brinkley had turned “cement-mix
ers”—catch that—as they hustled
bags of cement around down at
Jacksonville Beach in sunny Flori
da. The same ole' singing Randy,
with his mockings all, headed
south again after a two-day visit
cere, back to Tinker with an im
proved knowledge of the beach
combers association at Wrights
ville.
Incidentally, Randy has slipped
out the word on a big reunion of
that famous association, Wrights
ville members exclusive, when
Hershal Rogers geos nis Army dis
charge in about another year. For
Hershal must be there to com
plete the character crowd. Her
shal is now stationed on Okinawa.
About the others. . . .Elwood
Braatz is living the Army life on
the other side of the world. He is
stationed in Japan, while Jim
Braatz is living down In Charles
ton.
A little later I spotted Neal
Partrick and J. C. Price in the
bowling alley; and seated in one
of the booths I recognized Mary
Anne Jenkins end Hugh Evans,
Cooter Lewis and Carl Williams.
Carl was donned in that Army
uniform which has been his for
two weeks. At present Carl is sta
tioned at Fort Jackson, South Car
olina, and pulled a week-end pass.
He signed up with Ronnie Walker
a couple of weeks ago, traveling
first to Fort Bragg and then down
to Fort Jackson.
While there I also saw Frank
Bradley and Jimmy McCarl; and
as we were leaving, we saw Shir
lene Conrad and Ebe Godwin,
Betty Belcher and Decatur
Blanchard. Decatur came in over
the week-end to visit Ebe and it
was fine seeing him back this way
for a while.
As 1 was Heading down tne
Deach Sunday afternoon, I recog
nized Archie Walker about to go
oack to town. Archie is attending
cummer school ai Carolina and
Happened to be abie to get home
over the week-end.
Yes, it looks as if everybody
just head* towards the beach, es
pecially when the week-end gets
around. Sunday night as we pass
ed Station One, Chuuoy Paul hail
ed us and we stoppeu to talk to
mm. Chubby is stationed up at
Fort Bragg, as well as a great
gang of hometown fellas; and he
nad been in town over the week
end, leaving late Sunday night. He
ha* been getting nome quite fre
quently, and it nas been swell to
see him back over the week-ends.
All the ’Cats are due to bring
out their checkbooKs and get a
sharp pencil and start checking
oif tnat soldier of soldiers, Moolie
Ayash. For Moolie is with an M.
1'. outfit in Korea and has been
for the past six months, with six
more to go.
Not long ago two Wilmington
ooys stationed in Korea hopped on
a train for a short trip. As they
settled back, their eyes fell on the
M. P. striding down the aisle of
the coach, and they jumped up to
welcome Moolie!
Another hometown contact in
Korea has been Football Smith.
The great news has even reached
us ’way over here that “Foots”
and Moolie have gotten together!
By the way, rumors have it that
ol’ Football will be hitting the
States arouna the latter part of
July, so he should be home pretty
soon.
Also in Korea are Sverett Von
Oesen, who is stationed near
‘Smurfit” Ayash, George Von Oe
sen, and Lonnie Williams, who is
towing jeeps .a ever Kore*.

tion Chang Yu. Lonnie expects to
be home about December, receiv
ing his discharge in that month
or the first part of January.
It was Monday night; and as
the clock ticked on to 7:45 Cooter
Lewis began to get more and
more excited. She and Betty Anne
Simon had their bags packed; and
as the late afternoon sun sank,
they headed for the train station.
Amidst hearty good-bys, the two
jumped aboard, and Cooter was
off on her first trip to New York
city.
Betty Ann4, who Is now living
in New York, has been visiting
Cooter for about three weeks. So
when she started back, she took
Cooter with her for a ten days
to two weeks’ visit’ It was mighty
fine seeing Betty Anne back m
Wilmington; and we’re hoping
shell be back again soon.
Early Saturday morning groups
of young people set out for the
mountains, and Camp Kanuga.
Among those going for two weeks
or a month were Laura Harriss,
Norman George, and H. B. Glov
er. Counseling up tnere for about
another week or so is Sara Kay
Jordan.

Enroute they visited the Old Ed

Trilliums Easy to Grow in the Garden
By DEAN HAUIDAY
Distributed by Central Press Association
Trilliums are among the most
beautiful and showy of the wild
flowers and they are easy to grow
in a wild flower garden. There
are a number of handsome
species, and the large blooms last
for a considerable period.
If trilliums are desired in the
home garden, the bulbs should be
purchased in early fall from nur
series which specialize in them.
Even though these gorgeous flow
ers are a temptation when found
growing wild in the woods they
should not be picked in the inter
est of conservation. The blossom
stem of trillium grows from the
energy stored in the bulb from
the previous year. As the flower,
stem and foliage fade, the bulb
stores up plant food for the suc
ceeding year. If the flowers are
picked it will be many years be
fore they bloom again.
Contrary to general belief, tril
ttums ar« Mi difficult. As their
foliage dies after early blooming,
it is suggested that they be plant
ed among ferns whoge foliage will
cover the bare spots.
The Painted -Trillium, one of
the most beautiful, is illustrated
in the accompanying Garden
Graph. After it has bloomed it
bears a scarlet fruit in late sum
mer. The root of the trillium is
short and fairly thick, as illus
trated. The large flowered spe
ciets, such as the Grandiflorum,
should be planted six to eight
inches deep. This type should be
planted in shade or partial shade.
Best planting time is early
autumn. Cover over with a light
mulch of leaves for the first
winter.
No broad rules can be set down
to meet the requirements neces
sary to the growth of wild flow
ers. Drainage is of utmost impor
tance as most plant roots abhor j
