BEWND THE WEEDS , By JEAN WINSLOW Forcible Beauty Order some lily-of-the-valley pips for forcing indoors. If they are given at least 75 degree warmth the first week or so, cherry blooms will ap- ' pear in about three weeks. Apply liq- 1 uid fertilizer once while they are in ! . bloom. Plant the pips outside in early spring in a moist, shady area, and feed with a healthy dose of organic fertilizer, such as chicken or other animal manure. Cut some long, graceful branches of forsythia or quince, and place in a vase of water in a sunny window. Other forcibles include daphne, pussy willow, and witch hazel. Bring branches inside and split the ends with a knife or clippers, an inch or more. Immerse branches in tepid water overnight? if they are large, consider a bathtub. Next day place in a water filled bucket out of direct sun in a temperature of around 60 de grees. Change water weekly. When buds start showing, select an appro priate container and arrange art fully. The yellow of the forsythia will bring extra sunshine into the house, and quince's salmon-red blooms fore cast the colors of an approaching spring. And none too soon.

Museum to host series Elizabeth City, N.C.?

Area farmers gathered last week for a supper co-sponsored by the extension service and Peo ples Bank and Trust Company on the importance of farm records. Approximately 60 area farmers gathered for the evening which covered the new farm records management plan just released by NC State University. The evening provided good educational opportunities for those who attended and a chance for good fellowship. Above Jack Ward, area farm management agent discusses the new farm records management program. Frozen foods provide built - in maid service In line with the life style of the eighties, we now have available a wide variety of frozen foods, includ ing full meals and individually pack aged servings. We also have a multi tude of other "instant" products available at the supermarket. All of these food items assist to day's modern housewife in feeding her family, but they add to her bill at the check-out counter. Although these built-in conve nience foods cost more, most of us seem to be willing to pay for them. When the housewife spends her money for these food items, what she's buying is "built-in maid serv ice". Those frozen, ready-cut french fries or packaged instant mashed po tatoes save her the time and trouble ACCENT Oil MKICUTWE NC f/WM QURVAu FtKRAlKM of peeling and cutting up real pota toes, but she pays a premium for the convenience. The higher price tag on the processed items is the result of additional research, development and packaging. Other innovations in recent years in the food industry include new diet foods, health foods, ethnic foods and imitations. Even soup companies have expanded their lines, concen trating on new textures rather than new flavors. In addition, food mar keting is getting faster and more effi cient with greater speed in product movement through more frequent deliveries, assuring freshness. Today's convenience foods are a boon to today's modern housewife. She pays more, but very little, if any of it is received by the producer of the raw product? the farmer. Actually, the farmer receives as gross income only about 25 percent of the $454.2 bil lion (estimated for 1987) that Ameri cans spend on food annually. How ever, this amount represents only 14.2 percent of consumers' income. Our weekly constitution corner by Charles W. Lowry D.Phil. (Oxon).D.D. It is generally agreed that one of the novel and original features of the novel and original features of the American constitutional system is the role played by the Supreme Court. Nothing quite parrallel to this can be found in any other country in the world. Our highest Court not only disposes of tremendous power, being the end of the line in innumerable private lawsuits and in controversies to the meaning of the Constitution and the relations of States to one another and to the United States. The Supreme Court is also an organ of incompara ble prestige and influence. Being re moved from the sordid transactions of party politics and moving always in an aura of dignity and even maj esty, this Bench of Nine Men is in vested with an almost religious rev erence. The people take seriously the ideal and claim of Equal Justice For All. In the changes and chances of the complex world of the 20th century, both Congress and the Presidency have had their ups and downs, alike in public esteem and in the alloca tions of power. The path of the Su preme Court, by contrast, has been steadily upward. It has gathered to itself ever more and more power, and this trend has remained unaltered despite the growing disposition to see Court opinions as essentially legis lative in effect rather than as simply decisions in particular cases of law. All this is of especial interest in view of Article III of the Constitution on the Judicial Power. This article is extremely short and guarded. It seems clear that in the original Con vention the third Power received less attention than the other two basic Powers. When one reads carefully Article III, he is bound to be surprised at the modesty of the emphasis placed on the judicial arm and its subordina tion in significant measure to Con gress or the Legislative Power. This is not the way we normally view the Court and I find that many Ameri cans, including a few years back many Law School graduates, are or were unaware of the absolute limita tion placed on the Court's appellate jurisidiction in Section 2 of this arti cle. What the Constitution says is this. "In all cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisidiction. In all the other cases before men tioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both to Law and Fact, which such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make." Weighing this against the back ground of general emphasis upon Legislative power at the time of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, I believe that the intent of the authors of the Constitution was to apply also to the Highest Court the principle of checks and balances. In one cele brated case (Ex parte McCardle, 1868), Congress rushed through a law denying to the Court appellate juris diction in cases concerning habeas corpus. The Court obediently sub mitted, refusing to hear the case. In our time there have been at tempts by members of Congress to get that body to exercise on the Judi cial Branch a similarly restraining force, but so far such efforts have failed. President Truman once averred that the buck stopped here (in the Oval Office), but it may be that the real point of finality in our system is the Greek Temple on the American Capitoline inhabited by the Nine Black -robed Justices of the Su preme Court.
