“Day by day the leaves sift—
day by day they pass away.
I save seen joys go South and
memories blow,
And 1 feared winter; but 1 also
know
I later saw white beauty from a
sleigh
And moonlight on the snow.”
—From November by Moore
I have stood and watched the
leaves fall. I have watched as the
wind tossed and twirled them in
the air, finally distributing them to
Mother Earth. There’s a fascinating
sound, too—sounds like the rust
ling of taffeta gowns at a party!
And, I imagine it is one of Nature’s
parties—completing the symphony
of our orchestral autumn days!
CHORES GALORE: From now
until the ground freezes you may
plant all kinds of spring flowering
bulbs. Here's a chart I have pre
pared for you. The inches indicate
the depth of planting. One inch:
Iris, peony and bleeding heart.
(These should have been planted
not later than September). Check
to see if they are covered w ith one
inch of soil.)
Two inches: Crocus, scilla and
snowdrops . . .
Three inches: All "little” jonquils
and muscari . . .
Four inches: Jonquils . . .
Five inches: Small daffodils and
inarcissus . . .
Six inches: Large daffodils and
narcissus, also hyacinths (unless
the hyacinth bulbs are small). This
being the case, small hyacinths
should be planted five inches deep)
Six inches: Tulips, extra large
hyacinth bulbs, most all lilies, in
cluding the varieties regal, aura
turn, tiger, Philippine and sunset.
PANSIES: If the pansies you or
dered have arrived wilted, DO
NOT SPRINKLE THE LEAVES!
This will cause rot, when they are
paked in a bundle or are packed
close together. If you are not ready
to plant in their permanent place,
heel them in out-of-doors. After
planting out, no harm will be done
by wetting the leaves. In fact, a
good soaking will be beneficial.
When planting in their perma
nent position, do not bum by us
ing too much fertilizer. Pansies de
light in a rich soil. Sheep manure,
well-rotted stable manure, chicken

JUNIOR PLAY SUCCESS
The juniors of Rosman were not
too flustered last Friday night when
they presented their annual junior
play entitled “Desperate Ambrose.”
They showed their calmness of
thought in that they, while being
anxious for a success, were also anx
ious to show their appreciation to
their director and to their home
room teacher when they called
droppings and bonemeal are all
good for pansies, if used in mod
eration. Remember that word,
“moderation,” and go light on the
kind of fertilizer you use now. In
spring, monthly applications of fer
tilizer is beneficial. In early sum
mer, give the plants a heavy shear
ing. Blooms come on new growth,
so keep the old stringy tops cut
back in order to produce short,
stocky plants. I'll always remember
the spectacular parade of pansies
at Mrs. Lila Wenzlick’s!
REFRESHING YOUR MEMORY
on mulches: Mulch a perennial
border after the ground freezes, to
keep the cold in! The purpose be
ing to hold the plant dormant
through thawing periods, as well
as to prevent root and crown in
jury. So do check all shallow plants
and tender plants and mulch on a
“frozen day.”
•Mulch a newly planted shrub,
tree or evergreen, on a mild day.
to keep the cold out. The purpose
here is to keep the roots warm
enough to continue their work of
re-establishing themselves.
HOUSE PLANTS NEED FOOD:
Feed them with plant tablets or
balanced fertilizer especially pre
pared for potted plants. Take your
choice but feed regularly the soil
in pots and it would stay moist
(not wet) when you fertilize.
LOVELINESS IN A GLANCE:
The eye-arresting window garden
at Mrs. Gene S. Bracken’s. This
window is enhanced with green
drapes, nature’s own color, a great
complement to the beautiful potted
lavender and pink chrysanthemums
in full bloom. Mrs. Bracken derived
great pleasure watching the plants
grow and bloom. Who wouldn’t?
And what’s more rewarding in a
brown and gray season than a lux
uriant, verdant green lawn? Such a
lawn can be seen at Mrs. Allen Brit
tain’s. Lovely indeed!
Another great day is near—
THANKSGIVING! Have a happy
day, but do not forget to give
thanks and be thankful!
How bountiful are our blessings,
innumerable and beyond counting.
The world in which we live is alive
with God’s blessings. The glory of
the sunrise, the beauty of the sun
set, the majestic beauty of our
mountains in Transylvania, all de
claring the handiwork of God. Hap
py Thanksgiving and so long, gar
deners! 1
these two ladies to the center of the
stage before the opening curtain
and presented them with lovely
corsages. By the looks on the ladies’
faces upon receiving these gifts
they were proud of the students
that are in their charge.
As for the play itself, it was, as
we said, a huge success. One of the
largest audiences in the school’s
history attended and were treated
to two full hours of genuine enter
tainment. No one player could be
classified as an individual star, for
they were all good.
The glee club rendered two love'
ly numbers and with the new ar
rangement of “Taps” they thrilled
the audience as their applause
showed. Now that the junior play is
in the record books, we are all
looking forward to the spring and
the senior play which we hear is
a kind of a thrilling, creeping mys
tery.
Congratulations to all the juniors
for the success and acclaim they
brought to Rosman last Friday
night.
THRU THE KEYHOLE
This week we are behind on the
keyhole business ... we completely
forgot about peeking with all the
clatter about the junior play and
basketball, etc., but here’s what
happened the last two or three days
of this week.
Here goes Edward Paxton and
Martha Galloway. Oh, they’re head
ing toward class which is strictly
legal. Eh, Edward?
Edith Galloway certainly enjoys
her fourth period typing class. She
says she needs practice, but she
winds up practicing writing love
letters. Who to? Well, who knows?
Junior Holland, that cute little
red head of the 8th grade has
truthfully turned out to be a Ro
meo. His chief interest seems to be
Polly Petit, agree, Jr.?
Our shy boy, Masters, is coming
along all right lately. He appeared
iti chapel Friday, seated beside Ru
by F. How about this, Dolus. Things
are really happening we believe.
Two or three of the junior girls
will certainly be happy when that
junior play is over and Sonny Gal
loway gets to “saw” that beard of
his off. Sonny, you won’t be a bit
unhappy either will you?
A few of our Rosman girls are
deserting our old Alma Mater for
that Brevard crew again. Well, we’ll
let you guess who’s who. But don’t
try too hard, it’s not worth it. Well,
mayhe it is at that.
Shirley Whitmire (I mean Stew
art) was seen riding around the
blook with her former boyfriend
who recently became her husband.
Shirley, we want to take this op
portunity to wish you all the hap
piness ever.
We’re looking forward to this
basketball season to begin with full
force, and we'll have more news
concerning this next week.
