America Has Provided
World With Poinsettio
WHILE JT SEEMS rather odd. it
certainly is Interesting that
America has Riven the work! its ;
; most beloved Christmas plant? the !
poinsettia. This plant, like so many
others of our best flowers, is na
tive to tropical America. The flor
ist has been .able to propagate it
and grow it In a small pot, so that,
with its flaming red bracts ot
leaves, It, makes a most desirable ;
Christmas plant.
There Is a sentiment that goes
with most Christmas plants -r-' wo
hate to throw them away. What j
can be done with the .poinsettia? ;
Most of us figure that it is easier
and cheaper to throw it away.
However. If properly handled, it
will bloom for you a second or
even a third or fourth year. You
can even propagate it, it you wish,
and have more plants.
Give, the plant a resting period
around the middle of February j
The florist simply lays It under the j
benches, but you will probably put
it In your basement Water it oc
casionally ? enough to keep the
wood from .wilting, but no more. ,
Then, around the latter part of '
May or early in June, bring it out.
Cut it back rather severely, and re
pot it. You can then put it outside'
if you wish Ln the shade of a tree '
or shrub, and water it enough to j
keep it growing. Of course, if you
have a nice, warm, sandy spot,
you might plant it right in the
ground, but most ot us prefer to
leave It in the pot
"Life With Mother
Presented Monday
About 200 play -goers attended
the Lenolr-Rhyne College Play
makers production of "Life with
Mother" Monday night In the
high school auditorium.
The three-act comedy toy Clar
ence Day, sponsored here by the
Kings Mountain Kiwanis club, I
found a receptive audience for
its presentation of family life in
the 1880's.
James Kiser, as Father, gave
an excellent portrayal of the ty
rannical head of the Day family,
and Lois- Anne DeOrsey made a
pretty Vlnnle, mother and oft
time buffer in family crises. They
headed a large cast under the
direction of Mrs. Pearl Setzer
Deal.
Elaborate stage setting and
Striking costumes typical of the;
period were displayed to best ad- j
vantage by good lighting effgets ]
in making the production a
pleasing one lot the local audi
ence. ' I
