i< HAPPY BIRTHDAY
By MARY LOUR LANS
was a day of gleet and snow,
Jut to my mail box I had to go.
I looked through the mail to my surprise,
!An invitation looked me straight into my eyes.
9i ;(
4 was not expecting it as you can sec,
.Although it really meant a lot to me.
iAnd then J called my lady friend.
That's when the trip really did begin.
twas ready, the trip was all planned,
we took off to the party, at Martha Ann’s.
The trip wasn’t strenuous as you can see,
Vernell and Grace came along and took me.
The night was cold, the wind was high,
t told Diem not to fret, we’d get there by and by.
That night my lady friends were just a little late.
But anyway I enjoyed the trip, it was great.
•;
When we got there the door opened wide.
They greeted us with a smile and welcomed us Inside.
They took our coats and gave us chairs.
And really made it pleasant while sin were there.
Wc had traveled twenty miles, you lfiifow.
This party was for a wonderful mother though.
She had reached the fifty mark in life, ; j
Martha has served many years as a mother and a wife.
Bow the party was ready to begin.
Then happy birthday we did sing.
There was a fine young couple on the scene,
Their voices were really clear and keen.
We could hear the wind whistling, the party stayed in line.
We played games, everything went on just fine.
Then I really had a rushing thought,
Tblling me all the pleasure this party brought
The birthday cake was a beauty to me,
I peeped in the kitchen so I could see.
I really wanted to take a good look.
Had not seen the cake since it was cooked.
Everybody was smiling and happy as could be,
And the gifts were open, they were beautiful to see.
I saw a silk quilt all colorful and bright
There were so many presents to her delight
I thought the hostesses were really great
They served mints, nuts, punch and birthday cake.
When we were really ready to depart,
Martha thanked us for coming with all of her heart.
I am very fond of parties, you know.
Yes, 1 am the type that reaMy likes to go.
And 1 like to meet new people, you see,
pgcause I love people, they mean so much to me.
fireally wanted to write what happened at the party down,
Everybody was all smiles, there was not a single frown.
Then. I could hand the write-up right to the press,
Ahd-I am very confident they will do the rest

Green Thumb Tips]
If you are searching for a
fine-leaved foliage plant to edge
a border, why not consider
Irish Lace. This is a variety of
marigold grown for its leaves.
To be sure, it has tiny white
flowers in early fall, but the rest
of the season the plants display
delicate, fem-like foliage that
acts as a foil for the brightly
colored flowers in the border.
Irish Lace grows only six
inches high.
...
You can grow peanuts even
if you live in the North. Look
over your garden for a place
facing south where soil is
sandy.
Plant peanuts there after all
frost danger is past, covering
them IVi inches deep.
Children love to grow pea
nuts but must be restrained from
planting those that have been
roasted as they won’t grow.
...
Certainly you remember when
flowering tobacco opened its
blossoms in late afternoon and
perfumed the evening air?
Do you know that there now
is a variety with flowers that
stay open all day?
Appropriately, it’s called Day
light.
...
If you like the French soup
named Vichysoisse, why not
grow the leeks which flavor it?
Hard to find in the market,
they’re easy to grow.
Seeds may be started indoors
or sown directly in the garden.
Leeks are blanched like celery,
by drawing up earth around
the plants but, unlike celery,
leeks are not a fussy crop.
