The time has now come When the robin has returned to sing And bring glad tidings Os the opening of spring. The little violets are peeping out And pushing back their winter dome. Now it seems that they are just be ginning To live in their new spring home. We also see tulips and buttercups As they fill the air with spring, As it seems to bring new life To every living thing. Can you imagine a better time To get out and enjoy your play? Why not go out of doors in the sun And enjoy « lovely spring day. You’re missing something, my friend Whether you are young or old, So go out in the breezy winds For every minute’s valuable as gold. / Ramble around in the woods and watch The robin and the wren as they sing. Watch the blooming of the wild flowers And the change of every living thing. I I like to wander out in the woods And by the rippling brook; There to watch the little fish As they swim by every nook. Everything seems to be happy Like the butterfly with the golden wing As he goes fluttering around Decorating spring. You could take off just a little while Without leaving out anything. So why not go out just one time And enjoy beautiful spring. . —Thomas Robertson.

HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH FRIDAY, APRIL 21,1939 Tobacco 'Now Being Set In Border Belt * College Station, Raleigh April 21. —Tobacco transplanting is expected to go into high gear this week in the border counties, and scattered settings will begin as begin as far north as Pitt and Wilson counties, Dr. Luther Shaw, plant pathologist oi the State College Extension Ser vice, said today. Transferring of plants from the bed to the field began in the bor der counties of Columbus and Robe son two weeks ago, but the work did not become general until last week. This week these southern counties will hit their stride unless delayed Dy adverse weather conditions. Blue bold has become widespread throughout the Border and New Bright Belts, Dr. Shaw said. Al though serious damage was done in plant beds struck early, the disease will not seriously curtail transplant ing. “Most of the reports which have been issued on the ravages this di sease have probably been exaggerat ed,” the State College man said. “Earlier in the season frost bite in jurey was commonly mistaken for mold.” Where gassing treatments have been used properly, the mold has not only been checked, but the in fected plants have been cured, Dr. Shaw declared. Benzol and paradi chlorobenzene have been the two* agents used in gassing plant beds. “One of the reasons why a few of the growers who used these gas liberating substances failed to obtain* complete‘control was their use of ordinary covering on the bed,” Dr. Shaw explained. “To get positive results, a cover about the weight of bed sheeting is necessary.” Completion Os Parkway Aided. Daily Dispatch Bureau. Ip the Sir Walter liotek. Raleigh, April 21.—Action of the United States Senate in adding a million to the proposed parkway ap propriation, which would make avail able $3,500,000 for construction work on the Blue Ridge Parkway has boosted hopes in official circles here that the entire route can and will be completed before 1945, the date which has been tentatively accepted as likely. Fate of the increase in the House, which must accept the Senate amendment in order to make the full sum available, will be watched with more than a little interest because of the fact that the Parkway, when completed, will be travelled annual ly by an estimated 2,000,000 people, with North Carolina sharing bounti fully in the business bound to result from such traffic. More than 700,000 persons visited the Great Smoky Mountain national park last year, and completion of the Parkway is expected to treble that figure at a conservative estimate. Whatever the fate of the approp riation increase, however, it is safe to forecast that the parkway should be completed all the way through Virginia and as far west as Ashe ville in North Carolina by the sum mer of 1940, or 1941 at the very latest. The route will extend from Front Royal, in Virginia, to the Great Smoky Park and will be between 480 and 500 miles in length when fin ished. Virginia and North Carolina will share almost equally in the mile age. At present about 160 miles have been completed in Virginia includ ing the Sky Line drive. In North. Carolina, 128 miles either have been constructed or are under construction. The section from the Virginia line to Deep Gap, about 60 miles, has been graded and surfac ing work should be completed by July 1, the latest Highway Commis sion detour bulletin estimates. The man at the next desk says the I only commendable feature of the latest college craze is that, at last, I it gives the goldfish some privacy. ——■ ■ i ———— ——.miß in .. ■~»;-i ~.—■ ii. ■■■ i im^-ir *s*saim*immmo 5-10-20 YEARS AGO (Taken from Daily Dispatch Fites) April 21, 1934 Four lamps suitable for street lighting have bedn temporarily erect ed on Garnett ‘street in front of the Seaboard Air Line freight sta tion to allow city officials to make up their minds as to the style they wish to purchase for use in the in -Jallation of the white way in the business section of the city.
