The fine ligustrum hedge at the east side of the Chap el Hill post office has made a remarkable recovery from last spring’s brutal freeze that destroyed so many shrubs and trees. All of its foliage and many of its branches were killed out right. For a* khile it seem ed the entire hedge was g<£ ing to die, and the folks at the post office didn’t know what to do about it. Brodie Riggsbee, the post office janitor who takes great pride in the appear ance of the building and its surroundings, was especial ly worried. One day when he was looking at the blighted hedge and wondering how to help it a man he didn’t know came along and said,,“What it needs is a good pruning. Clear out the dead branches and give all the others a close pruning.” It was learned later that F. J. leClair, the Univer sity’s landscape architect, was the giver of this advice, which proved 100 per cent right. Brodie 1 pruned the hedge exactly as prescribed. Right j away it began to flourish and leaf out, and now it looks better than it ever did. * * * Since discord in a church congregation is a thing I abhor, it is ironical that the only three churches I have ever been connected with have all been rent by ter rible schisms within tfte past year.
