W. Sigmon, Mrs. Myrtle Young gave an inter esting discussion on “Our China Policy.” During the business session the club members elected the follow ing new officers: President, Mrs. J. J. Stevenson, Jr.; vice president, Mrs. Hall Smith, Jr.; correspond ing secretary, Mrs. J. S. Nicholson: recording secretary, Mrs. H. W. Sigmon; treasurer, Mrs. G. H. Ly day; and parliamentarian, Mrs. M. G. Pangle. In discussing the China policy, the program leader said this coun try has a fifth of the world’s pop ulation and the world’s oldest sur viving civilization. “China,” she said, “has emerged under a Communist government as a powerful force in Eastern Asia and a major problem for America and her allies. We, as a people, must come to understand some thing of China’s situation and the possibilities within it so that our leaders can make their decisions with the aid and the checks of an informed public opinion. “The farmers make up 80-90 per cent of the Chinese population. A typical Chinese farmer probably owns less than four acres. This means that the strictest frugality is necessary; nothing can be wasted. “The conditions of the Chinese farmers contributed greatly to the ease with which Communism won adherents. The condition of the Chinese peasant in the past four decades has become desperate. Dur ing this time information has seep ed in that farmers in other coun tries do not have to live under such conditions. As the result the farm ing village has become a fertile field for revolutionary agitation. “Since the founding of the re public in 1912, attempts have been made to establish modern govern ments and to build armies and com munications — all this has greatly increase dtax demands on the peas antry yet failed to provide efficien cy and freedom. “The Chinese Communist party began turning its full attention to the countryside about 1932. They offered to the peasants what seem ed to them a better way of life. “What are we to do about China? As the power of the United States has increased, so has the far-reach ing importance of every decision we make. What we decide to do about China may well affect our lives and the lives of all Asiatics for many years to come,” the pro gram leader concluded. During the social hour the host ess served refreshments to 14 mem bers present.

Little Items Of Lively Interest About Folks And By Mrs. S. R Harrington Are you restless? Go to the hills; The path winds up to the blue, Where the wind will blow until it stills All doubts in the heart of you. Are you tired? Then seek the trees; The pines will whisper and sing; And a weary soul can find its ease In the peace their song will bring. Are you happy? Stay, where you are, And let your joy shine through, So all who come from near and far May share, and be happy, too! —Roush Isn’t that a wonderful little poem? Next to flowers I love poe try and music. They (my hobbies) go quite well together—gardening, poetry and music. These spring-like days are real ly exhilirating. It’s time to plant trees and shrubs if you had that on your list of chores . . . Finish your pruning, too . . . Fertilize all bulbs at this time . . . Fertilize th? lawn . . . and re-seed, if necessary. The spring lawn program can get under way earlier than most folks realize. Early feeding bene fits roots that begin to stir long before there is much surface ac tivity. Apply fertilizer at the rate of ten to twenty pounds per one thousand square feet. Use ten pounds if grass, or turf, is nice and thick—use twenty if turf is poor looking. It may take a rain or two to work the plant food down to the root zone, so don’t be afraid to fertilize now. In fact, the soon er fertilized, the better lawn you’ll produce. Re-potting houseplants: This chore has to be tackled sooner or later, why not sooner? Do not both er the plants that look vigorous and happy, but do re-pot the puny ones. Avoid over watering newly pot ted plants. It is so easy, and often fatal, to do this before new roots have ramified through the new soil. After the iniital soaking, let as long a period go as you safely can before watering again. Remember, in re-potting, to use the correct soil mixture and the right size pot. For a week or two, plants should be kept out of strong sunslight. Spraying the leaves is beneficial every day or so for sev eral weeks. If you wish to divide plants of favorites, use two small pots instead of one large. Flower focus this week is on the adorable little spring blooms of crocus, hyacinths and snowdrops at Mrs. John Maxwell's. Glamorous purple crocus grown by Mrs. J. C. Wike are eye-arrest ing indeed. Spotted lovely color in blossoms defying the cold at Mrs. Nora Wil son’s, Mrs. John DeBord’s, Mrs. Charles McCormick’s and Mrs. Har old Saltz’—gorgeous golden daffo dils. So long, gardeners. The U. S. coal mining industry enjoyed its safest year in 1953, and mining today is twice as safe as it I was 10 years ago, 5 times as safe las 40 years ago.
