Bonjour! comment allez-vous?
Fine we hope! Parlez-vous Fran
caise? (If not, too bad!)
Wow! If you didn’t go to that
game Friday night you really
missed a winner! Our boys were
really terriffic! They have never
played better! So, now we are
in position to go to Kenansville.
Isn’t that wonderful ?
As some of you probably know,
a non-deniminational youth fellow
ship has been started for all
young people in Southport. The
idea originated in October 1960
when Bethel Baptist Church had
its revival. As its guest singer, a
young man from Swansboro, wa3
asked to come and lead the choir
in its singing, and to lead our
young people in some group ga
thering. Everyone enjoyed the
meetings so much that Rev. Paul
Odem,' along with the help of
parents, decided to start an organ
iation for the purpose of provid
ing clean, wholesome recreation
for Southport’s young people. Our
meetings are held the second and
fourth Sunday night of each mon
th, beginniing at 8:30 o'clock. Lar
ry Wolf is president of the fellow
sihp and leads us in recreation.
Mrs. Ann Price is our adult ad
advisor. There are always some
other parents at our meetings to
help us out, and we appreciate it
very much. We have an average
attendance of 30-35 boys and girls
each meeting. We hope that it will
grow and that our organization
will be a success. Be sure to let
your friends know so they can
come and join in the fun at our
next meeting.
This week we decided to try
something - a little dfiferent for
Our column. We have interviewed
several of the students on the
question, “Do you belive there is
life on other planets?” We hope
to continue this every week, us
ing a different guestion. We hope
you like it!
“Do you Believe There Is Life
On Other Planets?” as answered
by the following students:
George Allen: “I don’t know. I
don’t ever think about things like
that. There might be.”
Sally Ward: “I have no idea. I
guess anything is possible, but

seen them in my back yard.”
George Savage: "Yes, I think
there’s a large possibility of it.”
Mary Belle Jones: “Yes, plant
life and so forth; and maybe some
good looking boys!”

Now is the time to: pian your
vegetable gardtn: check the power
mower; sharpen tools; repair
hose, sprayers and dusters; ex
amine the compost pile; order suf
ficient seed of adapted vegetable
varieties to meet the needs of
your family; and build a cold
frame or hot bed. Your pruning
chores should be completed.
The actual site of the garden
is important but many gardeners
have no choice in this respect. If
you are lucky enough to have a
choice of sites, choose one as near
the house as possible. This is for
convenience, protection and avail
ability of water for irrigation.
Stay away from large trees for
two reasons—they have exten
sive root systems which will com
pete with the vegetables for mois
ture, and they produce shade.
Most vegetables like full sun.
Avoid soils which are poorly
drained. If you have a new home,
be on the look-out for mortar,'
brick, stumps and other debris
that may have covered while es
tablishing a final grade.
It is a good idea to plan your
garden on paper. This will give
an opportunity to locate all crops,
arrange for succession plantings
and asure a plentiful supply of
vegetables for fresh use, freezing
and caning.
Plant perennials along one side
of the garden so they will be out
of the way when you are working
your annual crops. I’m speaking
of such things as asparagus, rhub
arb, strawberries, dewberries and
raspberries.
Plan for continuous harvest by
weekly plantings of such crops os
We missed Thursday and had to;

less you have plenty of room, you
may not wish to plant such crops
as watermelons because of the
space required for normal growth.
It is not to late to plow your
garden area and leave it in rough
fallow until time to prepare the
soil for planting. Successive freez
ing and thawing will break up the
soil particles and make the pre
paration of seed bed much eas
ier.
