This, That And The Other By Mrs. Theo B. Davis Harriet Doar of the Charlotte News wrote me a nice letter last week in which she mentioned my failure to speak of the cones that follow magnolia blooms, saying she had never seen them till about two years ago. You may know how the red seed hang from the cone by a silky thread; but you may not know'that, if you want to plant those seed it should be done as soon as possible after they ripen. One more attraction the magno lia has is the velvety brown cover ing that falls off the bud just be fore it opens. My two-year-old grandson picks them up, calling out “n’er one taked off cap.” And they do look like the beanies chil dren wear, so far as shape goes. The poets who have written of June, the month of roses, and of love and June and roses red, must have been Northerners or special ly unobservant. For down here the first part of June is one of the worst times for flowers. The roses have long passed their prime and what blooms they bear are liable to be inferior. It is too late for the early bulbs and too early for the annuals or perennials or glads. A few shrubs carry on faithfully, but they are not so much for cutting. I wish a southern poet would smite his lyre and sing of May instead of June as this section’s month of roses. If you want hydrangeas to keep fresh, crush the stems when you put them in water. I’ve taken a hammer and pounded them. And you can take a cluster of hydran geas so droopy they can’t hold up their head at all and put them in water up to their necks and they’ll absorb enough to perk up amaz ingly and will look fresh another day or two. The first part of this column w r as written Monday. Today, almost exactly two and one-half years after Pearl Harbor, is Invasion Day. And this is the fourth time I have tried to write a paragraph concerning it and Zebulon. The first three efforts are in the waste-basket and this may follow them. For, despite all prepa ration of mind and heart, this is a fearful and an awful hour. What the final outcome will- be we do not doubt; but it may be a long way from here to finality. My thoughts are with the men of our forces and with their rela tives, especially with those of our own community. For various rea sons I was not among those who gathered in the Baptist church at noon for prayer. Nor was I alone in praying at home while working. Now that dinner is over and I am not so rushed, it seems impossible to sit quietly, even to pray. I’m going to the Red Cross sewing room and work on bandages for a while. They’ll be needing band ages and dressings over there. Later—And bandages are being made here today! I wish you could have seen that sewing room full of women all working at top speed. To me no prayer meeting could be more impressive. Ration Calendar Canning Sugar: Sugar stamp No. 40 good for five pounds of canning sugar until February 28, 1945.
