had the pleasure of being with
Graham, our noted North Caro-]
preacher, on several occasions last
week while he was in Washington. He!
is leaving shortly for a preaching mis
sion in England and other European j
spots. I drove back from a speaking
engagement in Oxford to be here for
his service at the Armory last Sunday
afternoon. It was also attended by
Senator Hoey and a number of Mem
bers of the House from North Caro
lina.
THE PRAYER BREAKFAST
On Thursday morning, I attended
the Second Annual Prayer Breakfast
at the Mayflower hotel. It is a great
experience to see about 600 leaders
of our Country, including the Presi-1
dent, standing with bowed heads in
silent prayer for our Nation, Sena-j
tor Carlson is very active in this
movement.
BILLY GRAHAM LUNCHEON
I thought it would be a good idea
to have Billy Graham my guest
and give a private luncheon in the
Capitol in his honor. We were able|
to get all hut two Members of our!
House delegation. A number of Sena- (
tors, including Senators Kefauver,
Stennis, Ellender, Mayhank, Johnston,*
McClellan, Mansfield, Johnson of Tex
as, Daniel and other guests attended.
From our State attending were Con
gressmen Shuford, Jones, Jonas, Alex
ander, Deane, Durham, Carlyle, Bar

Days have away of slipping by . . . faster often than
you realize. Before you know it, work time will be on
hand. Will your John Deere Tractor and other tools be
"ready and able?”
Now, while we both have plenty of time, let our efficient
shop recondition your John Deere equipment. Ours is the
only shop in this community that offers genuine John Deere
parts, skilled mechanics, fully trained in John Deere serv
icing methods, and precision equipment designed for John
Deere servicing. Only the necessary work will be done; it
will be handled quickly, efficiently, and at the lowest possi
ble cost.
Why put it off another day? Be sure your equipment is
all set to go; let's talk over your service needs the next time
you're in town.

AMENDMENT
As 1 wrote last week, I was hopeful
that the Senate would get some agree
ment on the proposed Constitutional
amendments. (Senate Joint Resolu
tion 1.) Debate continued all last
week. It now appears that nothing;
will he settled on this until next week!
as most of the Republican Members of

I George substitute which I discussed

were very successful . . . On Thursdayj

with another fine group of North
Carolinians.
MOORE’S CREEK
A number of us have strongly urged
the National Park Service of the Tn
t ‘rior Dena rtment to continue to keep,
Moore’s Creek National Military Park
in North Carolina in the system. In
our history, we fail to give the Rattle
of Moore’s Creek Rridge the signifi
cant position, to which it is entitled.
Had it not been for the bravery of the
patriots of that section, had they not
‘.■■topped the Tories, the whole Cape
Fear section would have fallen to the ■
■ Tories and there is no wav of know-.
i-ng what might have happened to the
Colonies, in the Revolution that was to
follow. The Park Service has prom

know it is.

[ HOW FftST Ml TREES CROW? j
[ HOW FAST DO TREES GBOWT J
The growth, of shade trees varies
greatly, some species attaining height
in a comparatively short time, others
taking much longer, according to the
American Association of Nurserymen.
Climate has considerable to do with
the rate of growth, and fertilization
plays an important part, too, in addi
tion to differences inherent in the spe
cies. Before they are placed on the
| market trees may be anywhere from
j two to ten or fifteen years old, dur- 1
'ing which they have been culivated, |
.pruned and fertilized in the nursery. I
, The length of time it takes to grow!
[them largely accounts for the varia-'
! tion in prices of all plants, especial-j
'ly trees and shrubs.
Some of the faster growing trees
include American and green ash;
American, Chinese and Moline elms;
sycamore; thornless honey locust; lit
tle leaf linden; cucumber tree; silver
maple, sweet gum, and sugar maple.
These and others will grow 20 to 30
feet in 10 years. Medium growth trees
include Amur, cherry, beech, birch,
buckeye, Amur cork tree, ginkgo, sour
