The miracle of blooming plants at Christmastime is wrought by your commercial flower grower and your florist, who carefully bring a great variety of plants into bloom for you—cyclaman, azalea, poinsettia, chrysanthe mums, begonia and many others. As gifts, flowering plants are perfect. As business gifts they are colorful and long-lasting. As gifts for family and friends, they express your holiday message with feeling and meaning. As hos pital gifts, they always give the patient a lift he or she will not soon forget. Whatever you do, don’t forget the shut-ins. As decorations, flowering plants add a little something special to Christmas festivities. Use a sin gle plant ’most anywhere in the house. If you have a stairway, place a plant on each of the three lower steps as a friendly welcome to entering guests. Group several on a tray for a focal point. Add one or two to a collection of green plants for a splash of color. A handsome holly arrangement around a candelabrum with red candles will be an eye-catcher on the mantle. This same idea will look pretty on a chest top or buffet setting. Try a wreath of green and cones around a wall clock. Or use the wreath alone over the mantle, on a wall, a door, or hang in a window. Boquets of bright red carnations will add a festive touch to table tops. Mass some Christmas greens in large containers to add touches of greenery throughout the house. Decorate banisters with swags of evergreens. Attach cones or balls or ribbons for a real flashy touch. Frame the front door with garlands of greens across the top and down the sides. Place cone SHOP AT ARRINGTON'S Southport, N. C. clusters on the corners. For a dramatic and timely cen terpiece, arrange several cut poin settia blooms with greens in a shallow bowl. Or, if you would rather, ring the bases of bright Christmas candles with holly and greens. Put three or more down the center of the table. A holly wreath might be placed on the back of each chair with place cards attached to the tops of the wreaths.

Spinal disorders does not always produce pain or discomfort in the back unless there, is acute backache or lumbago, but don’t be misled. In the great majority of cases the efects of spinal disorder are ob served at some distant point remote from the »pme, such for example as neuritis or malfunction in one or mure uv vne ioinrs, muscles or nerves. Because of this fact, you can be excused tor nui immediately recognizing the location of your pain or illness, being in me spme. If you have been doctoring for some time, and find yourself, relieved, but not entirely well, it would be wise to consult your irnropracvor.

The only trouble was they didn’t last long enough. It seemed good not to have any homework for awhile, but the teachers are mak ing up for that now. The Henry Stone Cafeteria has been blessed with new chairs and tables. They are very pretty and the students are doing a good job keeping them clean. Mascots for the 1962 graduation have been elected. They are Terry Hewett, nominated by Toy Lane Hewett; and Philip Gore, nominat ed by Freddie Gore. • Former students of Shallotte that were home over the holiday were: Donnie Hewett, Dempsy Hewett, Carol Hewett, Garland Sellers and Jo Ann Sellers. Pictures have arrived and al most everyone is pleased with them. Candy is being sold by the sen iors. If you’re asked to buy some, do. It’s delicious! The annual staff is working ' hard to lay-out an annual that Germans Carious About Our Foods New things to eat are a big hit with German homemakers, if crowds at the U. S. Ford Fair 1961 in Hamburg, Germany, are any indication. And Germans have an enormous curiosity about American foods. This is the view of Fair offi cials who have been watching cake mixes sold off shelves in the Fair’s miniature U. S. super mar ket at the rate of 2,000 packages a day. The run on mixes gives them good clues to future market demand in Germany, since the ready-to-mix cake packages are not specially priced for Fair-goers and actually come fairly expen sive as German food prices go. But the German aesire for new things extends to numerous other items—wheat bread toasted and buttered, canned American-Chin ese foods and sukiyaki dinners, hamburgers and barbecue sauces and relishes, Maryland fried chick en, soy flour and non-fay dry milk. And American-style doughnuts —the kind without jelly not well known i.o the German public be fore. Doughnuts made with Am will please everyone, if that’s pos sible. To have a nice annual the staff must have money to work with. They are selling ads to raise this money. If you are asked to buy an ad, please do so. The other superlatives are: Host Likely to Succeed, Dora Milliken and Linwood Lancaster; Most Intellectual, Patricia Gallo way and John Ganus; Most De pendable, Priscilla Hewett and Tommy Gore; Fost Athletic, Judy Golden and Danny Stanley; Best Sport, Mary Lou Wilson and Paul Grooms; Most Talented, Hannah Frink and Steve Cheers; Most Courteous, Frances Phelps and Russell Price, Wittiest, Mildred Royals and Kenneth Hewett. High School students elected Nancey Prince as May Queen and Connie Gore as Maid of Honor. The seniors elected Dora Hew ett as Valentine Queen and the juniors elected Linda Mintz as Maid-of-Honor.

Connie and Cry stal climbing the fire tower. Kay lost her nerve on the second flight. erican wheat flour have taken the Fair by storm. Germans young and old pronounce them delicious. All in all, observers in Mam burg think German homemakers won't quibble much on jbrice. They want quality in their food pur chases today and are willing— and also able—to pay for it. They have vivid memories, for one thing, of the poor quality food on their markets in the bitter years just after World War II. Unfortunately for the house wives who would like to buy them, some of these products are not available in German stores due to import restrictions. The cake mix situation had Fair officials tearing their hair before the Fair was two days old. Seven of the 13 flavors from vanilla to pineapple were gone by then. Sup plies expected to carry them through the 10-day Fair were gone by the fourth day. Most popular cake mix flavor with the German buyers, mostly women, was marble cake, a mix ture of chocolate and vanilla. Yellow and vanilla cakes rated next in demand. The German public at large has never been considered flexible in its ideas about food. Potatoes every day and their famed sausages are centuries-old food habits. But modern living and communica tions, Germany’s booming pros perity, increased international tra vel, and the presence of so many Americans in Germany are help ing change all this. Germany is already this coun try’s fourth largest customer for agricultural products, and the U. S. Department of Agriculture forces even bigger markets for many products of the American farm—especially frozen poultry and the packaged convenience foods.
