If one were poetic, It seems as
If they would burst forth with
poetry during this particular
month, especially In Carolina.
Balmy days, with crisp cold
nights, the azaleas and dog
woods In full bloom, the va
rious flower festivals and for

Spring Fever."
The out-of-doors calls, and

awful. The only time that I
enjoy yard work Is this time
of year, and it is one of the
busiest seasons of the year

yard shows the effects of of

Wilmington is in full bloom
this week-end for the Azalea
Festival, so I have heard. The
Festival and the blooms hap
pened at the same time for which
Wilmington Is most thankful.
