If WITH the farm women
r By VIRGINIA M. NANCE, Extension Home Economics Editor
j Enjoy 'Em All Year
What happens to your beauti
jkfol Christmas poinsetta when the
lovely flowers fade and the plant
is no longer a' pleasure to keep?
If you wish to enjoy your poin
settas throughout the year, take
this suggestion from a Jones
County Home Demonstration club
woman;
Mrs. Vance Griffin, New Bern,
Route 3, saved her Christmas
plant several yeafs ago. Accord
ing to Home Economics Agent
Faytie Cox, Mrs. Griffin now has
15 large, beautifully blooming
plants.
Duririg the summer these
plants are pruned and set out to
attractively surround the porch.
Cuttings are used to start new
plants. Then, as the weather be
comes wintry, Mrs. Griffin moves
.the poinsettas inside and the
family enjoys the vibrant red
blooms throughout the holiday
season.
Quiliiftg Bee
► In order to raise money for a
cdtninunity building, the women
of the Mountain Valley communi
ty in Hendeirson County are mak
ing a "special” quilt to be sold
at auction.
Mrs. Justine Rozier, assistant
home economics agent, reports
that eafch of the club women is
making a square in the “log cab
in” pattern to add to the quilt.
The batting has been given,
and one woman is planning to do
the lining. When the squares are
completed, the quilting bee will
enable everyone to use their
needle to complete the communi
ty project.
Proper Insurance
“I have realized my ignorance,
and I’ll not sleep well until I
know more about my insurance.”
exclaimed each Alamance Coun
ty Home Demonstration Club
woman.
When Home Economics Agent
Katherine Millsaps explained ba
sic policies, these women were
amazed that they knew so little
about their insurance.
Few realized they were pro
tected by an insurance commis
sion. With their new-found in
formation, they plan to better
understand each provision in
their policies.
Clean, Better Sewing Machines
For two years, Mrs. Annie Bell
Coston, Atkinson, Route 1. had
not used her sewing machine
Mis. Caroline Fennell, Wallace.
Route 1, had had a repairman
work on her sewing machine
twice. Since other Home Dem
onstration Club women in Pender
County were having similar diffi
culties, Mrs. Arvista Merrill, Ne
gro home economics agent, gave
a demonstration on cleaning and
adjusting sewing machines.
As a result of this demonstra
tion, these and other once-i lie
sewing machines are now’ being
put to much needed use.

the Scriptures” by Mary Baker.
Eddy will include the following j
(75:13): “Jesus restored Lazarus,
by the understanding that Laza
rus had never died, not by an ad
mission that his body had died
and then lived again. Had Jesus
believed that Lazarus had lived
or died in his body, the Master
would have stood on the same
plane of belief as those who bur
ied the body, and he could not
have resuscitated it.”

is my strength and song, and is
become my salvation ... I shall j

Years ago, John L. Sullivan,

somewhat worse for the expedi

second l#sson, the young man re

"Mr. Sullivan, my idea was to
learn enough about boxing from
you to get revenge on a certain
young man. But I’ve changed
my mind. If it’s all the same to 1
you, I’ll send this certain young
man around to take the rest of
the lessons for me.”
Many wonderful lives have
been wasted “getting even,” The
thought, the time, the energy
used in getting revenge is sheer
waste. It simply gives childish
satisfaction. In political life,

Many a bitter political feud has
wasted men of ability and sterl
ing character, simply because
some childish person in a posi
tion of power, took revenge. The
chain-reaction set up by a venge
ful act never permits a return to
perfect balance. It must be stop
ped by someone who i s big
enough and man enough to re
frain from taking revenge. Could
that person be you?

Taxes in North Carolina are closely aligned with
maintaining and improving public services for all
the people, and they are in balance with our needs
of the present as well as for the future, of a modern,
progressive state. This system provides an equitable
tax climate for better living as well as indirstrial
development.
It is an interesting fact that the areas favoring "legal
control” of the sale of beer and ale produce approxi
mately 84% of these taxes, not because they favor
“legal control’ but because they are the most pro
gressive and enlightened areas in the State
