Heard And Seen
By POP
With all the bad news these days, it's
refreshing to see and hear of good things go
ing on. For instance at the recent VICA con
vention in Wilmington, Tim Metcalf,
Ronald Rice and Keith Flynn of Madison
High School, won top honors in the entire
state... (writeup elsewhere in this issue). In
addition to the VICA honors, I became more
aware of the splendid work Jack Cole and
Garland Woody and staff are doing with the
Vo-Ag Education program at Madison
High... more than 22 individual FFA awards
were presented students as well as team
and chapter awards, including local,
district and state honors, (writeup of FFA
Banquet in this issue) ... Garland invited me
to the classroom to see the trophies last Fri
day and I was amazed to see so many
beautiful trophies... in fact, so many, all of
them haven't been placed on the wall. Con
gratulations to the VICA and FFA members
at Madison High for their achievements...
everyone is proud, also, of the Madison
High Band, under the direction of Bill
Stell... he (Stell) has done a remarkable job
as band director for several years and the
accomplishments in music by the students
will be an asset throughout their lives...
other outstanding accomplishments at
Madison High point to a continuing pro
gram which we can be proud... congratula
tions to David Wyatt, the faculty and
coaches and the entire Madison High School
personnel.
Mrs. Mrs. W. T. McKinney
Is Hostess To Book Club
i
; Mrs. W.T. McKinney was
! hostess to the Marshall Book
Club on May 21. Following the
j business session during which
Mrs. James Story, president,
presided in celebration of the
7Sh anniversary of the foun
ding of the Ford Motor Co. The
| Cars That Henry Ford Built by
' Beverly Rae Kimes. Much
' was written about Henry Ford
? during his lifetime and
historians are still searching
? tor the real man in the dif
: ferent perspective that only
:? time affords. Some writers
; gave him only scathing
j criticism, others adulatory
praise; only now is he emerg
ing as simply a man, at the
same time an extraordinary
j human being, neither godlike
gt nor satanic as he was
sometimes pictured, the man
who put America on wheels.
Beverly Kimes in her book
has used a diffrent approach
in examining the man and his
" times: in the context of the
- cars be built and the environ
ment within and without the
i company in which they were
produced. "How like Henry
they were through the years",
she says. "Tins in itself is not
unusual, a strong personality
; always places his individual
imprint on his creation. Henry
, Fort probably mirrored his
'? cars more accurately than
any other single indvidual in
the history of the industry, ad
vice versa. His cars were
? Henry." Though seeking ob
jectivity, the author admits to
painting a sympathetic por
trait, a tribute to the man and
i what be created.
Members attending were

Care Of Blueberries
By WILEY DaVALL
Agricultural Extension
Agent
At the time of setting,
blueberry plants should be cut
back sufficiently to remove
all fruit buds. After one
growing season, prune during
the winter to remove weak
and bushy growth. Cut back
the remaining shoots to
remove one-half of the fruit
buds. Pruning in later years
consists of removing brushy
growth, moderate thinning
and tipping back of the
fruiting shoots to leave Ave or
six fruit buds.
After newly set plants start
growing in the spring, apply
one level tablespoon of a
special azalea fertilizer or 10
10-10 in a circle one foot in
diameter around each plant.
Repeat this application twice
at six week intervals the first
year. Gradually increase the
fertilizer each year, still
making three applications
until a total of one pint is
being used the fifth year.
