Little Items Of Lively Interest About Folks And Mark this idiom of glory, Srridescent as the dew, New-begotten as the morning Swathed in folds of infant blue. Bveiy beauty blent together, krery touch of herbal scheme, Speaks of nature’s exultation like the marvel of a dream, like an idiom of glory Set in harmony with time, Past all mortal definition, Spring becomes a world sublime! —Boyer Spring is a world sublime! It is a Yernal benediction! To watch a drab scene turn into a breathless fairyland of color is one of God’s greatest miracles. With each spring comes the &eed to prune. There are three basic reasons for pruning. First, to control the shape of the plant. Sec ond, pruning to rejuvenate shrubs that have become unshapely with age, or which have stopped giving any bloom at all. (By cutting back severely it is often possible to re store them to a youthful blossom ing condition.) The third reason for pruning is to check growth. Now, decide why you want to prune. Also remember you cannot do all your pruning with one grand flourish. It’s a long drawn out C&ore. Spring flowering shrubs Aould be pruned immediately af ter flowering—if you decide they need it. Summer flowering shrubs form their flowers on new growth, fherefore should be pruned in ear % spring. Before you begin to prune, be sure you know “how” to prune, and ■“why" you are pruning, otherwise your purpose will not be accom plished. In all instances, dead wood should be pruned out first. Also branches broken by storms or chil dren, pets, etc. Next, remove all branches that cross each other or crowd each other, ruining the shape of the tree or shrub. In shrubs, each year cut one of the oldest branches right down to the ground, this brings new growth and more flowers. And here’s another re minder: Now is time to fertilize your trees and shrubs. Also your bulbs as they finish flowering, your lawn and everything. Do you love waterlilies? If you want to enjoy tropical waterlilies but have no pool, a half wooden barrel, a large tub or other con tainer, sunk so its top is level with the ground will furnish an excel lent place to grow one or more of these exotic plants this summer. Speaking of pools brings to mind my tour of Mrs. Brown Carr’s glo rious spring garden several days ago. The Carr garden is a fairyland these days. The lovely large pool, with the extremely colorful fish so numerous it’s unbelievable, is the focal point of the garden. Flowers! Flowers! Flowers every where you look in the Carr garden, enchanting in all directions! And adding lively interest are the two fluffy, glamorous Persian cats play ing happily with each other, scam pering up trees and down again, to sit serenely beside the pool and slap occassionally at a darting fish who dared to come perilously close to kitty’s claws.

Kiwanis District Governor Pays Official Visit Here On Friday Moore Stresses Safety On Highways. Group To At tend Divisional Meet Highway safety drive is a fail ure because each person driving a motor vehicle regards himself as an expert driver and the “other man” as a poor risk, W. Stanley Moore, newspaperman and Kiwanis official, of Morganton, told mem bers of the Brevard club at its meeting here last Friday night. Kiwanians are just as guilty as the next man in making the effort to reduce highway accidents, the Kiwanis governor said, and along with other individuals are doing their share of maintaining a high rate of fatalities and property dam age wrecks. Commissioner Scheidt of the State Motor Vehicle department is making a worthwhile effort to re duce wrecks and damage, Mr. Moore stated, but it will take each individual cooperating before any noticeable reduction of highway accidents is obtained, he said. Lieutenant-Governor Moore was accompanied to Brevard by his wife, who was also a guest at the dinner meet. Fred K. Norris was a guest of his father-in-law, Ralph Ramsey. Following the meeting, announce ment was made that a party com posed of President Don Jenkins, Duncan Hunter, George Perkins, Bud Purnell and Bryan Shiflet would attend the divisional meet ing Friday night at Morganton. A group of Waynesville Kiwan ians will have charge of the pro gram on April 16, it was announced by the president.
