ORTH CAROLINA has everything that many in
dustries need for successful operation.
"Vast potentials remain virtually untapped," says Gov
ernor Hodges, "I believe our future is practically unlimited
if we accept the opportunities before us."
New and expanding industry is the answer to North
Carolina's greatest economic problem ? which is lower per
capita income than 42 other states.
Strides forward have already been made in establishing
profitable new industries, large and small, in the State.
Many communities are already feeling direct benefits of
their payrolls. But the greatest task lies ahead. Success de
pends upon the understanding and efforts of all North
Carolinians.
The Dept. of Conservation & Development in Raleigh
will send its booklet on Community Organization for In
dustrial Development free upon request.

Scene
On The J
Beaten Path 1
By MRS. ALLEN SILER J
Men have always had a good t
time poking fun at women's readi- .
ness (or shpuld I say, "eager !,
ness"?) to follow Dame Fashion's ']
whims. Hats seem to furnish more '?
amusement to them than any oth
er item of feminine apparel. Ordi- i,
narily, I am just as enthusiastic '
about the latest styles in millin
ery as any other member of my
sex. This fall, however, I am fore- '
ed to agree with the men. They
certainly have good reason for
their amusement. i
To be in the latest style, a wom
an may choose from the fall hat
(models any of the following:
She may select a huge bunch of !
fur (or a good imitation thereof'
J to perch on top of her head, or
perhaps she'll prefer one of the
models in felt that looks like a i
scooped-out half pumpkin pulled
down on her head! On the other i
hand, she may be the type to wear
a massive creation of the stylish
waste-paper basket design! If none
of these are "becoming ", she still
has a choice of a top-heavy "pill
box" in some shaggy material, or
she may decide, as I had to. that
j the hats this year are simply not
I made for her!
In my search for a hat, I havo
tried on numerous ones in shop I
after shop, only to furnish eomi<
j entertainment for the clerks ant
| shoppers. After all, a woman
j doesn't buy a new hat for the pur
I pose of making other women
laugh!
Finally, in desperation, I went
j to the attic on a search for my
fall hat. I found it (five years
old). It suits me very well, attest
ed by the fact that I have received
several compliments on the becom
ingness of my "new" hat. But. be
ing a woman, I'm not happy about
it. I crave one in the very latest
I style.
I'm biding my time, knowing I
won't have long to wait. Early in
December, the "spring" models wiil
begin to appear in the shops.
Then I'll surely find just the hat
for me!

This Week
With Macon
County Agents i
i
By JOHN J. WRINN
(Assistant Agent)
A number of Macon County's
several thousand home owners will
do some home beautification dur
ing the next few months.
The key to success in home
beautification is planning. Too
many of us buy a "pretty plant"
and bring it home and stick it
out where we see it the most.
A plan may be drawn on plain
or graph paper with 10 squares
to the inch each way. Oraph paper
Is preferred as it is easier to scale.
A plan should provide for present
and future needs. On a plan one
should show buildings, walks and
drives, present and proposed.
Grass for a lawn and trees for
shade, shadows and background
are more important than founda
tion shrubs. Extension Circular No.
292. entitled "Carolina Lawns"
should be of help In establishing
and maintaining a lawn. Some
good large trees are: Planetrec
'sycamore), tulip tree (poplar),
and linden. The oaks, maples, and
ash may be used. Chinese elm.
mimosa, chlnaberry. and lombardy
poplar are not recommended be
cause they are brittle and sus
ceptible to disease and Insects.
Place trees 15-20 feet away from
the house and In a position to
cast shade where It Is desired.
Plantings near the building
(foundation) should be made at
the corners of the building and
m each side of the doors. The
loiise may or may not need plants
>:-tween the door and corner, de
lending upon the foundation ?
weight. Two common errors In |
planting are (I) using too many ,
.arleties of plants and, <2) too ,
nany plants. I
Most people prefer evergreens,
such as nandinas, hollies, and .
pyracanthas. Narrow-leafed ever
greens, like hemlock, have places
in hedges, screens, and even in
some foundations. Ask for Exten
sion Bulletin 292, "Arrangement?
Trees and Shrubs."
Three desired effects in land
scaping are: <1> beauty (2) con
venience ? most people and
especially farm people must save
steps and. (3) simplicity. It takes
too much effort in upkeep for
formal gardens.
Three rules to remember in
landscaping are:
ill Keep the center open. Do
not cluster the front or sides
of any home with small plants.
They make mowing difficult. A
few large, well-spaced trees are
acceptable. For odd plants given to
you arrange a collector's corner.
1 2) Plant in clusters. Around
a corner one may need three or
five shrubs. A tall one at thv
corner and one or two medium
to small sized shrubs alons eithf-i !
wall.
<3 1 Avoid straight lines. Do not
set plants in rows except for
screens and hedges p.nd then a
curve will probably add to the
appearance.
The period from November 15
to March 15 is probably a more
desirable time for plantings, how
ever, it may be done at any time
if sufficient water is available.
Foundation plantings should be re
placed in 15 to 20 years.
Yours for a more beautiful and
attractive home!
