Occasionally such activity can develop a monetary profit. We are not concerned in this editorial, however, with the economic gains of gar dening. There are other values that come to the in dividual who seeks to de velop something of beauty and perfection in accordance With the laws of nature. There are countless homes in this area on lots which need the charm that can come only from well-appointed sur roundings. It may take years to develop an attractive lawn or garden but the task will bring satisfaction, however long delayed. And what you do with your lot will add to the natural beauty of our community. When it -comes to vege table gardening, the process involves work. But many business men would be physically benefitted by such exercise. 435 Carats One of the world's largest jewelry concerns announced in January that a 43&-ctarat diamond .had been unearthed in West Africa in 1969. Cut ters are working on it to pro duce a 150-carat pear-shaped diamond, to be the second largest of that shape in the world. Since Elizabeth Taylor Burton paid over 11,000,000 last year for a 69-carat stone, the new ISO carat diamond is thought to be worth sev eral millions. The diamond measured two inches in width and height before being cut, or just about the right size in the opinion of millions of Ameri can women. CARD OF THANKS The many get-well wishes received during my recent illness are deeply appreciated. Each kind thought and expression of concern will long be remem bersd.

A description of a lovely, floral gardsnT Yss, certainly, but these pretty, Innocent-looking flowers also spall caution, according to a scientist at North Carolina State University. They are but a few of a long list of dangerous plants found in our gardens which, If certain parts of the plants are taken Internally, are poisonous. Each year, more than 16,000 Americans are internally poisoned by plants, and well over 100 of them die. A recently-published book, written by a North Carolina State University botanist and a Duks University pediatrician, is providing the people with useful Information concerning the many poisonous plants which surround us, both in the woods and fields snd In our private gardens. Authors of the book are Dr. James W. Hardin, NCSU, and Dr. Jay M. Arena, Duke. Entitled, "Human Poisoning from NsUve and Cultivated Plants," the book deals not only with internal poisoning csussd by eating the poisonous parte of the plants, but also with the effects snd treatment of plant allergies snd dermatitis. Drswings and photographs enable the reader to identify the harmful plants, and information for physicians In the recognition of symptoms and treatment of such esses is included. Thirteen ways to avoid plant poisoning are listed; for exam pie, become familiar with the plants In your yard; keep plants, seeds, etc., swsy from infants; teach children to keep unknown plant parts out of their mouths; snd teach youngsters to recognize poison ivy or other causes of dermatitis. The, authors state: "We do not wish to recommend the elimination or eradication of native and exotic plants which are dangerous, and by no means do we went to mske people afraid to venture out-of-door. All dangers csnnot be removed from our surroundings, but we can learn to recognise and avoid them." They add, "We hope that M awareness of these potential dangers, with appropriate education of children, can measurably decrease the number of esses of plsnt poisoning that occur esch year." Over 200 berries which are often eaten, especially by children, are listed, thereby providing a rapid means of fin ding out if a particular berry Is poisonous. Instructions on what to do If a pet is poisoned by a plant are also given, Dr.Hardln, professor of botany and forestry st NCSU, Is curator the ! NCSU Herbarium, which contains 78,000 preserved plant specimens. Hardin is also helping to direct a major botanical project which will cover the entire Southessstern United States. Botanists from throughout the region will inventory the different kinds of isms, trees and flowering plants that grow naturally in the area. Hardin has published two bulletins on poisonous plants prior to the recent book. Entitled "Poisonous Plants of North Carolina" and "Stork-Poisoning Plants of North Carolina," the first contains Information about plants harmful to humans as well as livestock, while the second concerns livestock poisoning.

The Address, however, did not blueprint proposed solutions to our problems. The Chief Executive said he would propose his remedies In dozen or more special measages to the Congress later In the session. There was much common ground between the sentiments of the President and the Nation on what the problems are. With respect to foreign policy, he "MY SOLDIER BOY" My Dear Little Boy The pride of my Heart. Because this cruel war has come You and I had to part. E'er since the day you came to me, You've been my constant pride and Joy. You came a dimpled little babe; You're now a grown up soldier boy. -. You've been so true and faithful To the "Ma" that gave you Birth. No wonder that I think you are The sweetest on this Earth. But Uncle ttammle needed you. Is why you've gone away ' and Dear I hope it won't be long From home you'll have to stay I know youll do your best for him In any way you can You'll stand as brave and loyal Soldier ' As any other man. Since you've gone these ninety days lVe triad so" hard to not be aad) But tears will fall in spite of all; For you were all your Mother had. And though we're parted for awhile My prayer each day for you will be. "Dear God, please hold his hsnds in thine. And bring him safely back to me." These lines were written for my son, Burton Myers, who spent 3 1 a years in the South Pacific during World War II, by his mother, Mrs. W. T. Smith.

He announced also that his foreign policy would deal with the realities of a ' world that has changed much In the last twenty five years, and said ths tlms has come for us to "reduce our In. volvement and our presence In other nations' affairs." In essence, what the Presidsnt appeared to be saying wss that we have strained our economy and our resources in trying to act as the world's policeman, an opinion which I have expressed msny times during the pest two decadea. The two other key Issues mentioned by the President inflation and crime control -certainly strike s responsive note In the minds of Americans . I am gratified that the President announced that he would present a balanced budget.ior fiscal 1971. He correctly blamed deficit Federal spending which has occurred in msny prior years as the cause of today's rising prices. In calling for a broad attack on crime, the President was em phsslzing anew what most Americans have urged for some time. It should be remembered, however, thst neither of these most pressing domestic problems has yet been responsive to simple rhetoric. Any relief in these area will require the cooperative efforts of our entire governmental - structure. Congress and the Executive branch must work together to control Federal spending and inflation. Both of these branches of the Government sorely need the cooperation of the Judicial, branch to cope with crime. The President laudably gave environmental pollution control a priority status In the Ad ministration's catalogue of programs. Unquestionably, there is much need to continue the major programs enacted by the Congress 'in Wis area' in recent years. There was some friction between Congress and the Ad ministration, at the last session when Congress raised the budget request for anti-pollution control, , It remains to be seen'just how the: President will seek to Implement existing Federsl efforts to purify the air we breathe and the water we drink. : nwpecuuuy, SWINDELL FUNERAL HOME HERTFORD, N.

HERTFORD, N.C Let's Go To Church Sunday Make Church Going A Habit Our line is always busy Marilyn deserves an "A" in Communications. Unfortunately, thst is not one of her courses. Do you suppose when wt were young we had less to talk about? Fewer opinions worth stating? Quieter, friends? Anyway, home was never like this! " Still, apart from the inconvenience, I have no strong objec tions to Marilyn's monopoly of the wires. Indeed, it has served to remind me more than once of the tremendous need of this youthful generation for the right kind of friends and the right seme of vslues. v Fortunately, our church has been an important influence on Marilyn's life in both areas. Religious education has fostered moral snd religious convictions which are shaping her character. Whether it's "girl-talk" or "boy-talk" that is keeping our line busy it's just part of the normal, wholesome growing-up of s teen-ager.

"Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God: for true and righteous are His Judgments". (Revelation 19: 1-2) LESSON TEXT: Matthew 13: 141. Those of us who mske an earnest study of the Bibls and the precepts of Christianity will be completely familiar with the parable; for It was one of Christ's favorite methods of teaching. A story within a story, It contained moral precept by which a life was to be guided, to become acceptable to God. Jesus preached to people from all walks of life to the learned, to the unlettered; He had to reach them all, with no condescension. Some parables were easier to translate than others; but the ones that were herd presented a challenge, and were designed to stimulate thinking, for Christ wanted not a blind and sheeplike following, but a congregation of followers who thought things through, each in his own way, to arrive at complete understanding of God's ways. Perhsps the most graphic example of this kind of ' teaching lies in the parable of the tarsi among the ..' good whest; the story of a man who planted huv fields with good seed, to be harvested In due course;" the story, slso, of an enemy of that man sowing a corrupt snd poisonous version of wheat amongst the , good seed; and of the aervants addressing their master, asking if they should gather up the tares from the whest, and of the muter replying : "Nay .. , lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheaj with them". To those wno questioned Jesus on the meaning of . Hia story, Christ was saying let not Judgement be hasty; ths time will come when evil will be weeded out from the good . , . when all the facts have been weighed. - So It Is with mart ; his good deeds will be weighed with his bad actions. God will be the Judge of whether he Is predominately motivated by good or evil. Our Impulses to help and love our fellow men are the ''good seed"; those towards destroying our enemies are the "tares". Honesty, integrity, loyalty all these are desirable in the spirit of man; dishonesty, weakness of conviction, disloyalty . . . these are tares in the makeup of mankind. Just ae ' cruelty la the opposite of kindness, truth is the op posite of lying. Iirall these areas we shall be Judged ; when the time, for Judgment cornea. A separation of good from evil will take place at the time and day of judgment. But what, say the temporates, if nothing Is definitely , black, or definitely white? Surely there are vexing shades of grey in between, where evil and virtue is not out-and-out virtue? put rather a complexity of mankind a sincere 'and earnest endeavor towards good, dictated by circumstances beyond the control of the average man? Most assuredly, will the innate prompting be the leavening agent in God 'a Judgment of the in dividual. For God la ever aware of the humanity of ' mankind ; He Judges sternly that which is prompted by Innate viciousness ; He Judges, also, that which la prompted by the striving of man's better nature and perhaps this gives Him hope for His creation mankind! How do we, aa professed members of the faith of Christianity, Interpret the Christ-like life, aa op posed to our own? Do ws, In the course of our dally existence, sow tares, or good seeds? Are we worth .the resplng or the winnowles? , 1 1 II k. 'MA . SI I MSB 5? is not out-and-out evil, - ii Vs
