You will hear my silver laughter If you listen in the glen, For I am stealing softly Through the countryside again— You will hear my voice a-tinkling In the raindrops on the brook, And my charms will be unfolding Like a painted story book! From “I Am Spring”—by Keith I love those last two lines from “I Am Spring!” Spring has so many, many charms and they do unfold like a painted story book. Just stop and think how very true those words are. Over the last week here in Transylvania, (at this writing) it seems “Ole Man Winter” and our youngster “Spring” has been hav ing quite a fight. Ole Man Winter certainly won the first round, bringing us regular wintertime tem peratures. But spring is still in there punching—and he’ll win, too. How could he miss, with so many rooting for him? As I write this the rain is com ing down. But as you read it, Ole Sol will probably be shining beau tifully. If so, attend to pruning your spring flowering shrubs. (If you haven’t already.) The chief reason for pruning these shrubs is to take out unproductive wood. In doing this you make room for new shoots which develop into flower ing stock for another year. This is the case for the forsythias, spi reas, philadelphus (mock oranges), flowing almonds, the lonicera, cy donia japonicas (quince), kolweit zia, weigela, scotch broome’s (cyti sus), and any other spring flower ing shrub. These may all be tip pruned throughout the year to keep them within bounds—after the regular pruning job is over— and as they need it. Violets need to be dug and re set in enriched soil every few years. Flowering will be greatly accelerat ta Paper corporation’s plant at Pisgah Forest. According to scien tific information they are the largest tanks of their kind ever built with a dome or roof as thin as two inches, the thickness of the domes over these two tanks. For more years than any of you have been living, we have been serving the people of Western North Carolina . . . Wise homemakers find it profitable to shop Pearl man’s first—for value, for courteous treatment and ac commodating credit terms. E. Main St. Dial 3-1921 Opposite Belk’s Ed if this job is attended to right now. Dahlias, gladiolus and any other summer flowering tuber, bulb, or corm may be planted now. Feed roses this month, and keep them sprayed with an all-purpose spray. Remember not to cut your nar cissus foliage off. Wait until it is brown and sear. They may be re set to another location as soon as foliage yellows, but even then leave the foliage attached to the bulbs. Daylilies can be set the year around. Even while in full bloom without damage to root system or flower. Did you know sweetpeas will flower over a much longer period if a three inch mulch of clean straw or pine needles is placed around the plants? Watch chrysanthemums for red spider. Spray, if necessary. Ask your dealer for an effective insec ticide. And pinch back your plants if you want bushy ones. Flower Report: My eyes are ever on the look out for flowers. Spot ted exquisite dianthus and verbe na at the home of Mrs. Lewis Sum mey ... at Mrs. Bud Case’s the exotic hardy amaryllis drew my eyes like a magnet . . . the lovely garden of Mrs. Charles Ashworth is a joy to see ... at Mrs. C. C. Yongue’s the golden daylilies and colorful iris make a perfect picture indeed . . . the marvelous, large iris at Mrs. E. V. Fowler’s form a rainbow of gorgeous colors ... at Mrs. Gertha Shipman’s the dark blue Siberian iris make a splendid splash of color on the landscape. So long, gardeners! COOK’S CORNER (Continued From Page Two) spears and topped with cheese sauce is an ideal luncheon dish. 9. Scoop out all pulp and seeds from a rosy red tomato and fill with equal parts of asparagus tips (cooked, of course) and chopped white meat of chicken. Top with mayonnaise and serve on crisp let tuce. 10. For a special breakfast treat serve five spears of asparagus on toast, top each portion with a poached egg. Now add rich golden Hollandaise sauce over all. Serve very hot and take a bow. 11. For the canape tray place one cooked chilled asparagus tip on a thin slice of crustless bread that has been spread with mayonnaise. Roll bread around spear and se cure with toothpicks. Chill covered until serving time. 12. Make up your usual chick en pie; top with lattice top “in terwoven” with asparagus tips. Nice variation on an old theme, I think. I’ll add the “baker’s dozen” last item: 13. Slice cooked boiled tongue and place on platter; add aspara gus bundles “tied” with pimien to strips. Serve cold or hot for a perfect buffet dish. Thought for Food from My Red Rocker: Next time you make griddle cakes add some canned corn to the batter. Cook as usual and serve with maple syrup and crisp bacon. It’s a nice change. Good asparague appetite to you all. Cash receipts from farm market ings in North Carolina in 1953 to taled $884,070,000, or 6 per cent below those of a year earlier. When you think of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S. — adv. 10 Transylvanians Answer Draft Gall Ten Transylvanians answered the May draft call in Transylva nia county, Mrs. Tom Galloway, clerk of the local board, announ ces today. The men recently inducted In to service are as follows: Fred O. Connor, Perry Ranson Hamlin, Charles Edward Rigsby, Tommy Russell Goldsmith, Bert Jones, Jack Everett Powell, Hicks Gor don Baynard, Charles Walter Powell, Sherrill Milton Hubbard and John Paul Owen. The June draft call in Tran sylvania will be for 12 men, Mrs. Galloway states. TRY TIMES WANT ADS Average Of 2,373 Hot Lunches Served In Eight County Schools Peabody Report Recom mends Smaller Schools Provide Meals Students in the eight elemen tary schools in Brevard and Tran sylvania county ate an average of 2,373 hot lunches daily as com pared with 2,212 last year. The cost of these lunches ranges from 10 cents to 20 cents, Supt. J. B. Jones states. Federal aid is sup plied to all lunchrooms and the amount of aid is determined by the number of lunches fed daily, the type of meal and as to v/hether it includes milk. “Parents and teachers alike know the importance of a balanced hot meal for children,” Mr. Jones commented, “and we are all ex tremely proud of the fine work that is being done in our lunch rooms.” He also explained that surplus aid was somewhat more during the year. “In serving lunches the children have not only been supplied with well balanced meals, but they have also learned by practice of good behavior at meal time and devel oped a taste for a wide variety of foods,” Mr. Jones concluded. Lunchrooms in the county are located at Pisgah Forest, Straus, Penrose, Brevard, Rosman, Quebec and Toxaway for white pupils and at Rosenwald for the colored. Several of the smaller schools do not have lunchroom facilities and the recently released Peabody re port recommends that something be done about this if possible. The •— Brevard Soldier Is Serving In Alaska Pvt. Earl L. Mitchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Mitchell, of Bre vard, has processed at Parks Air Force base in California with the 2349th personnel processing group en route to Alaska. Private Mitchell is being assign ed in Alaska as SCARWAF (Spe cial Category Army with Air Force) Personnel. He entered the U. S. army in October, 1953. Private Mitchell attended Bre vard junior high school prior to en tering the service. Recruiter Is Here Each Wednesday The local U. S. army and air force recruiting sergeant will be at the court house here in Brevard each Wednesday morning from 9:00 to 11:30 o’clock, and he states that young men now have their choice of the branch of the army they de sire to serve in. two high schools do not have sep arate cafeterias and this was also suggested as vital to the students’ welfare in the county.
