Brevard High News DIMES DRIVE SUCCESSFUL The students of Brevard high school have again contributed to the March of Dimes in their usual generous manner. Approximately $475.00 was raised during the two week drive which closed Friday, January 29. This was an average of nearly a dollar per student. All homerooms except one of the freshmen boys were excused at 2:00 o’clock on Friday. Various means of raising money were used. Food sales, books, and coat hang er sales proved to be the best meth ods of raising funds. Principal R. T. Kimzey stated that the students should be compli mented on their efficiency as well as on their generosity.

HERE AND THERE With Santa doing such a fine job on his romances, you might think Dan Cupid would be a little slow about his Valentine romances, but on the contrary he has been verv busy. Susan M. really enjoys her lunch hour, especially when it is spent with Joe D. Edith W. doesn’t mind working at all, that is when Bobby B. is around. Have you noticed the smile on Mary Lou Mann Allison’s face? Could be that Heath was home. Did you know that Agnes H. is wearing Morgan H.’s ring? Keep up the good work you two. Could someone please tell me who Dot S.’s new flame is? Flossie G. and Bobby C. seemed to be having a good time at the ball game the other night.

Come on you two, don’t keep us in the dark. Who kept these two out of sight? Joyce R. and Wilmer McG. really make a striking couple. fc&A D RADIO iLT.V. SERVICE si- !P6i IS NOT A BRAIN FOOD -J IF THIS W/ GETS AROUND | WE MAY LIVE ) n LONGER vv - — All food enriches the blood, which in turn nourishes the body, including the brain. Fish is in no way a spe cial food for the brain.—“Food and Feeding,” Sir Henry Thompson. By the way, did you know that Barbara G. deserted us for the Ma rines or we might add for Odell K. Nancy S. and Harold M. aren’t lonesome, as long as they are to gether. It’s sure nice to see Beverly H. and Stanley S. together again. Mary Ellen L. has been sporting a mighty pretty bracelet, seems she’s interested in a boy from Vir ginia. The college basketball games are quite popular to some of the girls, namely Joann S. Who is he, Joann? Sara Kate E. has made up her mind for sure. Lawrence McG. is the one for her. I bet you didn’t know that Faye A. dated Larry P. Keith P. must have been glad to see the holidays end. Now he can see more of Joan. Girls! What is the matter with you? I guess you know there are still plenty of available stags: Bill G., David C., Jason S., Paul B., and many more. Let’s see what can be done. Jim K. spent Christmas in Hen derson. What’s her name, Jim? A reporter just rushed up with some inside stuff, but I’ll pass it on to you. Pat P. has completely lost her heart to a certain Frankie N. from Brevard college. Little Items Of Lively Interest About Folks And Like a fairyland, it’s a lovelv sight With the sky so blue and the ground pure white, A bit of frost on the windowpane Tells us it’s wintertime again. Wintertime, when the wind blows cold, And. the snow that falls brings delight untold— The biting air that can chill you through— The thrill of home when your day is through. —Schultz On cold days, one does think of nice warm homes where laughtrr and love, peace and tranquility reign. There is something especial ly delightful in a sparkling log fire; untold joy in flowers that beautify the home—which brings us to the timely subject of potted plant cul ture. We are continuing this subject from week to week. This time we take up suitable soil for potting different kinds of plants—when you prepare soil for house plants re member that its physical state is even more important than its chemical composition. The soil must be well drained and should consist of fairly coarse particles. The basic ingredients for potting are: top soil, peat moss, sand, char coal and bonemeal. Leaf mold or humus could be substituted for peat moss. (But peat moss is available at garden and seed stores, and the leafmold and humus are hard to find.) Of course, we always need to add fertilizer to our potting soil. This can be determined by reading carefully all directions on plant food packages or bags. Another thing to remember about potting soil is the fact that soil which is satisfactory for outdoor gardening can prove quite unsuit able for indoor use, because we do not have the elements of nature in side to help us. Our growing condi tions inside are artificial. So we have to consider all the necessary things—air, light, heat, cold, wa tering, etc.—as well as soil. Different types of plants re quire different types of soil. Those such as cacti and other succulents require coarse, gritty soil that con tains a comparatively small amount of organic material through which water passes easily. Those such as ferns, begonias, and African violets that give of their best only when grown in a soil that is extremely rich in de cayed organic matter and that rev el in the evenly moist root condi tions that such soil provides. Then there are those that suc ceed best in a fairly heavy soil such as geraniums and chrysanthemums. Gardenias and camellias prefer acid soil conditions, while the Mar tha Washington geraniums like • decidedly sweet soil. Some plants have a wider nag* of tolerance than others. Some era sturdy, some finicky. It’s safest t9 give each a soil pretty much !• their liking. Next week I will prepare fer you a “chart of potting mixture*^ and give the names of flowers thst prefer that mixture. You can cHp and save this chart. I believe it will be of great help to you. Flowers in the Spotlight: The kitchen window at Mrs. Kay CaOins is captivating with all the tavejy flowers bedecking it. Especially the philodendron framing the wia dow so artistically. Also of umis ual beauty is the large Christmas cactus at another window . . . That! can be said of the marvelous cactus at Mrs. Marie Paxton’s, too. The ex cellent and numerous blooms cm s large potted amaryllis is eye-arrert ing at Mrs. Paxton’s, also. So long, gardeners! Neighbor: And what are you go ing to do, Dotty, when you get as big as your mother? Dotty: I’m going to diet. When you think of prescript ♦ions, think of VARNER’S.—S#V.
