We, the Women BY RUTH MILLETT “The trouble with this year’s college graduate is that he ex pects to start out on his first job with a good salary. He isn't willing to take a job for what he’s worth while he is getting ex perience—the way w’e did when I started out,” says an employer. That may be the way the pic ture looks from an employer’s point of view. But in fairness to today’s graduate, let's look at what he is up against when he goes to a new town to take a job. Say he has a wife—and perhaps a child—as do so many of today’s graduates, finishing their educa tions after the war interruption. He can’t go into a town and rent a house for $35 a month— the way the employer mentioned above admittedly did when he started out. Probably, he will have to buy one at an inflated price. Nor can he feed and clothe his family on a shoestring today. No matter how ambitious he is or how willing to start at the boltom, he has to consider the price of pork chops, hair cuts, clothing, and furniture. The big salary the employer is kicking about isn’t a wage he has arrived at because he thinks he’s good. He has arrived at that fig ure with pencil, paper and bud get. When the employer talks about his starting salary in the pre-in flation days, he is overlooking the housing shortage and the high prices which have completely changed the picture for today’s graduate. Airport Committee To Appear Before County Commissioners A committee from the Airport committee of the Chamber of Commerce will appear before the New Hanover county commission ers in the near future and present a program for joint city-county operation and management of Bluethenthal airport, it was de cided at a meeting of the airport group yesterday afternoon. The group will present their proposal for the joint operation and management before commis sioners for their consideration and approval. The plan calls for the city to augment the airport budget by $10,000 in exchange for a part nership. That plan and other matters per taining to the development of the $11,000,000 Bluethenthal airfield, which were discussed before the city committee yesterday, will all take the form of suggestions ^o the county commissioners. TODAY'S GARDEN-GRAPH . Registered U. S. Patent Office .. .. —— INTERRUPTED V •FERN SHOWING SMALL FRUITING SPORES ROYAL FERN TOPPED WITH FRUITING SPORES Ja Most Dependable Garden Ferns BY DEAN HALL ID AY To bring a suggestion of the woods to the home flower garden, ferns are the plants to use. Some gardeners like 'o group many dif ferent kinds of ferns together in one location thus creating a fern bed. In the shaded sections of a rock garden ferns are invaluable in helping to sc.ften the sharp effect of the rocks. Ferns have few requirements. They want protection from the sun and lots of moisture. They prefer a northern or an eastern exposure. Good drainage is also essential. Woods soil should be mixed in with the garden soil in which ferns are planted. Three “flowering ferns” called Osmunda, are excellent for gar dening use. These ferns are called Cowering because of their habit of producing fertile fronds resem bling a flower-ljke spray or clus ter of seeds. Two of these ferns, 1he Interrupted Fern and the Roy al Fern, are illustrated in the ac companying Garden-Graph. The Interrupted Fern grows from two to four feet in height. It is one of the best ferns for ordinary garden soil. The fruiting spores are borne on contracted pinnae half way up the stalk, as illustrated. The Royal Fern grows three to four feet high and if planted in low, wet places in a garden will reach six feet in height. The up per pairs of pinnae, illustrated, bear the fruit. Another flowering fern, called Cinnamon Fern, grows five to six feet tall in favorable places. This fern is easily transplanted. Jaycee Auxiliary Holds Meeting The Woman’s Auxiliary of the!
