Handicapped Youngsters Perform
Students in the multihandi
| capped classes at Upchurch Junior
High School gave several perfor
mances of "The Little Red Hen"
last week, during the Hoke County
Arts and Crafts Festival. Teacher
Carolyn Pagan and Teacher Aide
Betty Freeman also participated.
Their performance schedule took
them to the Hoke County Public
Library and McLauchlin, West
Hoke and Scurlock schools.
| The cast of characters consisted
of: Little Red Hen -- Patricia Jones;
Rabbit -- Cathy Cobb; Pig -- Debra
Williams; Dog -- Grady Lee; Cat --
Kelli Sisk; Mouse -- Nancy Smith;
The Miller -? Brenda Hobson;
T witty Bird -- Betty Freeman; and
Leghorn -- Carolyn Pagan. The
seven children were stars for a
whole week.
The members of the cast express
their appreciation to the principals
^and teachers of the schools for
"inviting them to give their perfor
mances; to the students for being
such good audiences; to the many
people who helped make the cos
tumes; to the staff of the Public
Library; to Mary Archie McNeill,
for her confidence and support;
and to Allen Edwards and Rhenda
Cameron for their continued sup
port and encouragement in these
endeavors.
) For many years handicapped
children have been like butterflies
kept in a Mason jar - they have
been "sweet" and cute to look at,"
as long as they were kept apart
from others. But just as the trapped
butterfly longs to be free to fly and
be himself, these handicapped
children long in their hearts to be
accepted as vital parts of their
communities.
How happy the butterfly is when
|fhe lid is taken off the jar and he
can fly free!

MORE GARDENS
) More Americans planted vege
table gardens last year than ever
before. In fact some 38 million
gardeners got out in the backyard
and planted seeds and fought pests.
And that was a whopping four
million more families than planted
and weeded the year before.
Why is gardening becoming so
popular? Well, for reasons you
might suspect. Gardeners listed
^saving money, better tasting food
"and enjoyment as the reasons they
hoed and sowed. In fact, gardening
rated very high as a leisure activity
-? number five. Do folks save
money by gardening?
Translated into retail value last
year, home garden production by
gardening?
Translated into retail value last
^year. home garden production was
worth S16 billion. There may be
more gardeners this year. Garden
ing is a great source of recreation.
MAKING THE VEGETABLE
GARDEN PAY OFF
Growing a vegetable garden
simply for the fun of it is not the
objective of most gardeners. With
today's inflationary prices; garden
ing can serve as a means of
producing economical food for the
family 4o consume. Now with the
family's food budget in mind, the
main objective for growing a vege
table garden will probably be to
have fun producing the maximum
amount of vegetables in the
smallest available space.
How can a vegetable gardener
determine how productive the gar
den is likely to be? The productivity
or value of the vegetable garden can
be attained by two ways: by the
price per pound of the vegetable or
by the number of pounds harvested
per square-foot. For instance.
Brussels sprouts are rather expen
sive when purchased at the grocery
store. Although Brussels sprouts
have a low crop yield for the time
(90-100 days) and square-foot area
EASTER BASKETS FROM FHA ?? Hoke County High School students in
the school 's chapter of the Future Homemakers of America came to the
Hoke County Children s Center Friday morning and gave filled Easter
baskets to the children. They are shown here while they were giving the
presents. Wanda McPhaul. a Hoke High home economics teacher and
FHA chapter adviser, who accompanied them to the center, said the girls
^thought up the visit with the gifts. The students who gave the baskets are
Vann Dora Strickland. Rowenia Leggett. Deborah Joy. Lisa Jacobs,
Yvonne Thomas. Renee Hurst, and Patrice Smith. [ Staff photo. ]
that they occupy in the garden, the
high market price of this crop
increases its value. On the other
hand, a crop such as summer
squash (matures in 50-60 days) may
be inexpensive at the grocery store,
but ten or more pounds may be
produced by only one plant. So
-summer squash would give a family
more food per square-foot in a
shorter period of time than Brussels
sprouts. Because squash has a
shorter maturity cycle than Brus
sels sprouts, another crop could be
planted in the same location there
by increasing the dollar value and
pounds per square-foot for the
growing season.
Staked tomatoes are considered
the highest yielding vegetable for
the square-foot area occupied in
the garden. Other high yielding
vegetables are leaf lettuce, beans ?
both pole and bush, edible podded
peas, beets, radishes, bunching
onions, carrots, and leafy greens.
Poor users of space in the garden
are sweet corn, cantaloupe, water
melon, winter vining squash, and
pumpkins.
Gardeners must keep in mind
that there is more to having a
productive garden than only plant
ing a particular vegetable just
because it makes maximum use of
the available space. The amount of
vegetables that can be harvested
from each square-foot of garden
area will be influenced by the
degree of succession planting (re
planting a new crop after the old
crop has been harvested), planting
the vegetables as close together as
the crop allows, fertilizing and
watering for proper growth, and
controlling insects and diseases.
TASKS FOR APRIL!

crops to plant.

F estival Had Many
Magical Moments
Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in magical spells
that mesmerize and captivate the
senses? Do you believe in an
enchanting melody that swells your
heart with joy and your eyes with
tears? Do you believe in the
whimsical dance that transforms
the human form of flesh into the
gracefulness of a feather floating
gently through an easy breeze?
If these things sound beyond the
realm of reality, then it's obvious
that you did not attend the Hoke
County Community and schools
Arts Festival held during the week
of April 3-9. Surely, "magical." is
the only word that captures the
wonderous experience of this festi
val. For it was as if some "phantom
of delight" cast a magical spell and
with the flicker of an eye, the sweet
aroma of creativity dazzled our
senses and the beautiful, sparkling
dust of excitement elevated our
bodies and souls.
Although the materialization of
the Arts Festival was the product of
intricate planning and a generous
amount of manual labor, the
magic came as an unexpected
delight, and we can thank the
children of Hoke County for its
beauty. Little did anyone envision
that the fusion of talented per
formers and artists with the wide
eyed awe of hundreds of eager faces
would produce such an aura of
mystical enchantement and de
light.
As hearts took flight on wings of
imagination and eyes bulged and
danced incredulously, the boys and
girls discovered new worlds of
culture and creativity.
Indeed, Hoke County really did
celebrate the Arts in grand style. It
was a celebration that revealed
more beauty, joy. and a zest and
love for life with each passing day.
From the J.W. Turlington ad
ministration, faculty and student
body, we extend a hearty thank you
to the L. Reynolds Grant Founda
tion. Mrs. Mary Archie McNeill,
director of cultural arts, and the
numerous other persons and organ
izations whose contributions helped
transform dreams into an unfor
gettable reality - to be remembered
fondly countless times in the years
to come.
