BY M. E. GARDNER, N. C. State University As I write this in April, I offer a word of encouragement to my readers in the upper Pied jmont and mountain counties. Don’t,give up because we are sending 'some better days up your way1. But, you will still have to make up those school days yott lost when the roads were too slick for travel. Spring has been very slow in our neighborhood, too, but there are some promising signs. Jon quils, tulips and crocus have passed their'prime but some>fe still pretty.;- The same is trite for forsythia (Golden Bell). The crabapples, of which we have an abundance in Raleigh, are beautiful and the dogwoods are showing color. One or two more warm days and they will be in bloom. Camellias (Japonica) have been blooming since last fall but many buds were frozen during our zero temperatures in January. We still have some flowers which survived the cold and1 are pretty in the house as cut flowers. Bridal wreath spirea is in bloom and1 I think I saw a deutzia in bloom a few days ago but did not stop to be sure. Azaleas are showing color but need some warm days to open the blossoms. The redbuds are almost wide Op en, and the oaks are “feather ing”. Evergreen lawns are growing (I have mowed twice) / and the pastures are green and lush. Small grains are from 6 to 10 inches high and growing. I bring these signs of spring to your attention to remind you what a wonderful state it is our privilege to enjoy. We real ly have three springs: the first in the Coastal Plain; another in the Piedmont; and still another in the mountains. The ecology of North Carolina is unsurpass ed as we sprawl from sea level to the highest peak in eastern America. It is not too difficult to find, somewhere within this varied topography, an environ ment suitable for growth of most of the plants to be found in the Temperate Zone. What we need most now is to conserve our natural resourc es by every possible means. Elec tricity can be generated by steam, fueled with coal or atom ic energy, just as easily as it can from water power. It seems to me that setting aside 5 or 10 .—r acres for a steam electrical gen erating 46,000 acres for recrea tion and hydroelectric power. What do you think? SYNON CONTINUED PROM PAGE 4 Times urged authorities, “and plenty of it.” • Despite the “grape”, the mobs moved north to the Col ored Orphanage Asylum at 43rd and; Fifth, but luckily, the mili tary had removed the 300 black waifs normally resident there and only the building was gut ted. • One of the mobs invaded “the notorious Arch Block in Thompson Street which seethed with a crowded population of poverty-stricken Negroes. The rioters demolished...” • Serious rioting occurred in the Negro settements north' and east of Five Points. Negro dwell WHAT IS THE ANSWER? by Henry E. Garrett, Ph.D. PROFESSOR EMERITUS COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION PAST PRESIDENT Q: Dr. Garrett, we hear and read much of "quality"^ educa tion. Will you define it, please? A: As the term is used, qual ity education means education which stresses, reading, arithme tic, history, and English gram mar—as opposed to propaganda of one sort or another. Quality education demands good (train ed, intelligent) teachers and in telligent, prepared pupils. It is, I fear, a concept that is fast disappearing from our public schools and we will pay for that neglect, one day. . ings there were burned and loot ed. • In New Bowery, Negroes were forced to cling with their fingers to the copings of a gabled wall, while the rioters screamed madly for them to fall. When the Negroes drop ped, they were kicked to death. So it went in 1863. So it will likely go again — sooner or later — whenever the races, against their will, are forced to co-mingle. The situation being HIT BY STRAY BULLET Billy Dunn of 114 West Shine Street told authorities that he had no idea where the bullet came from but he was hit in the shoulder by a stray bullet as he walked along South Her ritage Street at about 3:15 Sat urday morning. He escaped wih a flesh wound for which he was treated and released at Le noir Memorial Hospital, ripe, riot awaits~events~ Too bad. But like the man said, people who will not learn from history are doomed to relive it. Kinstonian Killed Former Kinstonian Calton Hines, 29, was instantly killed Sunday night in the front yard of his brother Danny's home in Mooresville. Hines was shot by an aged neighbor, who report edly walked up, asked Hines if he had seen his dog and when Hines replied, "No." he fired the fatal blast and threatened to also shoot Danny, when he went to aid his stricken brother.
