JULY, 1953
Swimming Pool Open
Sunday and Monday
The swimming pool will have
only limited days for being open
this summer due to the added
machines in the Finishing Plant.
These machines take up a great deal
of water and at the present, the fil
ter plant cannot supply enough
water for the pool and mill opera
tions. However, the filter plant is
being doubled in its capacity so
that by next summer this situation
should be altered.
The only two days that the pool
can be definitely counted on to be
oper are Sunday and Monday.
Tuesday is another day that the
pool will probably be open and
possibly later on it will be open on
Saturdays.
The hours on weekdays are 9 to
11:30 a.m., 2 to 5 and 7 to 9:30
p.m. On Sundays the pool is open
from 2 to 6 p.m. The prices of
admission are the same as last year.
On Saturday, July 4, the pool
opened every day except Wednes
day for ten straight days during
Vacation Week and the following
weekend.
Trip to Mt. Mitchell
Reported by Clarence Forrest and
Familv
We have seen the Blue Ridge
Mountains many times, and a few
times in the rain. We have also
been through the Great Smokies.
But, never before, until a Saturday
past, did we leave a hot, dry, dusty
farm early in the morning and be
fore noon climb right on up
through the clouds and rain to
reach the top of old Mt. Mitchell.
As we gazed from the observation
tower on top of Mt. Mitchell, we
were so enveloped in clouds that
it was as though we were on a tiny
island looking out across the ocean.
On our way back, we had both
showers and sunshine. The moun
tains would first be covered with
this great blanket of gray mist and
water, and then, as if some great
hand would roll the blanket east
ward, the sun would flood the moun
tain sides and valleys with a bright,
glistening light. The highway
looked like a broad gray ribbon
with green fringes of lace on either
side with great borders of mountain
laurel and various flowers beyond
that.
We all enjoyed our trip to Mt.
Mitchell, the highest peak east of
the Rockies.

Care Tips for Cut Flowers
Lack of moisture is, of course,
the main cause of wilting flowers.
Flowers are thirsty. They drink
through their stems and by absorb
ing humidity from the atmosphere.
To satisfy your flowers' tremen
dous appetite for water, follow
these suggestions.
L Cut small pieces off the bot
tom of each stem, at a slant, as
soon as you get the flowers. Dry
ness causes the stems to close so the
flowers can't sip water.
2. If possible, let the flowers be
saturated with moisture before ar
ranging them in a vase. To do
this, mist the entire bunch lightly
with water and wrap it in moisture
proof cellophane (the kind you
use for frozen foods). Close the
edges of the package, then float
it in a dishpan of warm water. The
cellophane will hold the humidity
in the space directly around the
flowers so the entire flower is mois
ttned thoroughly.
3. When you're ready to arrange
the flowers, be sure the vase is per
fectly clean. Fill it with cool water
and use one of the inexpensive com
mercial preservatives you can buy
from your florist. These chemical
preparations reduce bacterial action
in the water which causes the stem
ends to close. If you don't use
them, change the water and clip the
stems even' daw
4. Give your flowers a "refresher
course" at night, when nobody will
be awake to see them anyway.
Move the vase to a cool room —
preferably a cool, damp section of
the cellar. If your whole house or
apartment is hot, remove the flowers
from their vase, wrap them in
cellophane, and put the bundle in
your refrigerator overnight.
5. Always keep the flowers away
from drafts and direct sunlight.

sion, frequently not discovered un
til lost." —N. L. Criss.

ers. They tell us exactly what we
think." —Albert A. Brandt.
