Davis Sons, Publishers Mrs. Ruth Emerson Kistner, well-known expert in th*e field of flower arranging from Glendale, Long Island, N. Y., is shown above doing a basic leaf arrangement with a focal point of grapes. Mrs. Kistner was at Wendell School auditorium April 2 conducting a lec-1 ture-demonstration.

Before approximately 300 wo men — most of them garden club members — Mrs. Ruth Emerson Kistner pointed out the primary j features of making flower arrange- 1 ments for the home in a lecture- ! demonstration given April 2 in the Wendell School auditorium. Mrs. Kistner was sponsored by the Wendell Garden Club Council j composed of the Wendell Garden | Club, the Morning Workshop and | the Hoe'N Hope Garden Club. The new trend. Mrs. Kistner said, is to use artificial bbjects with real flowers in creating an artistic de- j sign. Such objects might be grapes, I leaves, figurines or other fitting1 objects. But, she cautioned, no acces sories should be more than one third of the finished arrangement. She said if there is one place in the American home which com mends attention, it is the dining room table. This vantage point claims the most attention, and it is ! usually the focal point of the en tire home. In creating a design for the din ing room table, the flower expert said she likes to make an arrange ment which is different on the right side from the left. Such ar rangements, she said, create illu sions of beauty and originality. After all, she said, a flower ar (Continued on Page 10) Good Friday Services Set Tomorrow (Friday) the Baptist Church will be open all day for private lueditation.

This choral meditation on the sacred passion of the Holy Re deemer dwells at length on Christ’s last day on earth. It de picts the garden episode, the trial and His death. The soloists rendered their se lections with deep reverence and feeling. The entire choral work has a lugubrious quality, yet the rich ness of the music overcomes this mournful feeling. Soloists were Mrs. Frank Kemp, (Continued on Page 10) Durham Pastor to Hold Revival at Pearce Church The Rev. Jack B.
