WATAUGA DEMOCRAT FEBRUARY 17, 1966 ASTCAlunmi Council Is j -.a4. tiA Expanded In an effort to broaden the scope of influence and service of die Appalachian General Alumni Association, F. P. Bo denheimer, Jr., cuiTent presi dent, announces expansion of membership on the Alumni Council from 12 to 25 mem bers. The expansion of the coun cil conies with the sanction of the present membership in a bid to carry forth the pro gram proposed by President Bodenheimer. In the past, membership on the council has consisted al most entirely of North Caro linians or persons residing in North Carolina, bat under the new program or plan members have been appointed in several areas outside the state. An ef fort was made to appoint these Appalachian representatives in areas in which a number of alumni reside. These areas in clude New York, Virginia, South Carolina and Florida. While President Bodenhei mer realizes that it will be im practical to expect as much formal activity in these out of-state areas as in the more nearby areas, the main pur pose in this expansion, he said, is to let the alumni know that tbey are not forgotten by their Alma Mater and that they “belong.” A sustained effort, Boden heimer said, will be made not only to stimulate the active alumni chapters but to encour age the reorganization of chap ters which have become more or less inactive. Also, plans are being made to organize new chapters. K is President Bodenhei mer’s hope that every chapter will have at least one meeting between now and Homecoming. Alumni council members are being encouraged to attend every possible chapter meet ing, especially ones in their localities. The Grand Finale, of course, is reached with Homecoming and efforts are being expend ed to make the 1966 Home, coming the best ever, Boden lieimer said. Several other possible in novations have been discussed, such as district meetings call ed “President’s Conferences” in the more populous sections; an Alumni Day on the campus at some time during the spring quarter; induction of gradu ates into the General Alumni Association at commencement time, and other items. Bodenheimer said othsr get. togethers of council members and key alumni for the pur pose of keeping lines open be tween the campus and each alumnus would be held. Meanwhile, Bob Allen, act ing director of Alumni Affairs, has contacted all chapter presi dents, urging them to set the wheels in motion far meetings as soon as possible. On Wage-Price Curbs Robert P. Gerholz, President of the D. 8. Chamber of Com merce, urged labor leaders to join « voluntary program of wage-price restraints. The chamber head said there should be some ground rules or guide, lines for labor and business ta [pilaw. To Study Rejects The House Armed Services Committee will investigate Selective Service procedures that result in' draft rejections for some prominent profession al athletics. Representative L. Mendel Rivers (D.JS.C.) is chairman of die committee. Op Electoral College President Johnson has re newed an old battle by asking Congress to abolish the Elec toral College and extend the length of House terms from two to four yean.

' ji“ The gladiolus is a wry papu lar and satisfactory cjit flower and is qot too difficult to grow in :thp hone flower garden They come in a great variety of colors and are most satisfactory after cutting because they last so long when cut and placed in . . the home- church, school or V given to friends. They me not if * too choosy about soil types s|, : ; either as long as thev are reas onably goo*) and well drained. The plants should have full sun- y f8 shine all day for best results. ' % Another very fine feature about this crop is that you can .■■■! have flowers practically all through the growing season by succession planting — a new planting every two or three weeks. • : Select conns (“bulbs”) of good size which have been treated for diseases and insects. Plant the conns about four inches deep in rows about three feet apart. The corms should be spaced about four inches in the rows. The lareer corms have good reserve food storage making heavy applications of fertilizer "nuecessarv. I would suggest the use of one pint of an g-8-8 mixture (granular form, not pel lets) for each 50 feet of row. The fertilizer should be aDplied a week or so before planting the corms and should be well incorporated with the soil. Close contact with fertilizer mav result in damage to tender roots so thorough mixing with the soil is important. lhc time of planting will vary considerably, depending upon where you are located. In east ern Carolina the commercial growers plant in late January or early February depending upon soil conditions. In the upper and lower Piedmont, planting may be done from the middle to the latter part of March; and in the mountains, from the middle to the latter part of April. There are many good varieties of glads from which you may choose. You may purchase mix tures, which may be cheaper, but most gardeners get more satisfaction from knowing va rieties by name and purchase on this basis. Here are a few good varieties, grouped in color classes: white or cream—June Bells, Margaret Beaton, Snow Princess and Mother Fischer; pink—Picardy, Spic and Span, Citation and Fay; red—Beacon, Sans Couci, Valeria and New York; laven der—Minuet, Tyrone and Eliza beth the Queen; yellow—Gold, Van Meegren, Nugget and Yel low Herald; orange—Aranjeuz.
