C. 20 Garden Time My favorite feathered friend has been with us again this win ter and helping himself to a bountiful supply of burfordi hol ly berries. He was challenged last fall but successfully defend ed his position and his winter food supply. Can you guess what kind of a bird he is? A squirrel is building a nest in a tree in our yard. When I went to lunch, about a dozen English sparrows were fussing over a nest. One pair seemed to be in command but they wete pretty well tuckered out. There are sure signs that spring Is just around the corner in the lower Piedmont and Coastal Plain — (that is). The weather has been about as arnery in Raleigh for the last five weeks as I can remember, i'arcl and garden work has been impossible because of wet soil due to snow, sleet and rain. The weather will improve as the days lengthen and there will be many jobs to do when the soil] dry.s out. In the vegetable garden many >f the cool season crops may be planted in the lower Piedmont and Coastal Plain — beets, broc coli (plants), cabbage (plants), carrot, kale, kohl-rabi, leaf let tuce, head lettuce (plants), mus tard, onions (sets or plants), peas, Irish potatoes, radishes, rutabagas, spinach and turnips. Seed of the annual and peren nial flowering plants and warm season vegetable plants such as tomatoes and peppers should be planted in a suitable place about six weeks before the plants are needed for'setting outside. Decide to label all of your plants this year. It will be help ful for you and of interest to your visitors. Check over the house plants for mealy bugs and aphids and spray if needed. If any are be coming pot (root) bound. be sure tliat they are re-potted in good .Sterilized soil. KEEP YOUR RADIO DIAL SET AT 1220 WKMT Kings Mountain, N. C. News & Weather every hour on the hour.

Fine entertainment in between > Missionary To Speak Here A man who has spent the past 11 years In Japan, visiting re mote villages with the Christian message, will speak at First Presbyterian church here Sun day. The Rev. Lyle Peterson of Koc hi, Japan, will be speaker at both the 9:45 a. m. Sunday School hour and alt the 11 a. m. morning .worship service. When Catherine and Lytle Pe terson landed in Japan with their two little girls, in 1949, they found Catherine’s parents wait ing on the dock. They had evacu ated mainland China as the Communists advanced, just two weeks earlier. Catherine had been born in China—but for Ly le, (the Orient was a new exper ience. Doors opened to the Christian message he had brought in strange ways. There was the rob bery that occurred, soon after the family completed their two years’ language study and mov ed to the city of their first mis sionary assignment, Kochi. “One morning, we woke up to find that (there was no water coming out of the pipes. Out in the yard we could see where someone had dug up several yards of piping and had silently moved away, carrying the pipe with him ” The Petersons report ed it to the pollice, and promptly forgot about it. Several weeks later, the door bell rang. It was police, with two suspects, and it was soon evi dent that they had caught the right men. As they left they were given New Testaments. A report er, hearing about it, wrote it up in the paper. The American minister visited the men in the prison and took tracts and other material for them to read. Soom the men be gan writing cards to the Peter sons, and after many visits, they indicated that a real change had taken place in their hearts and lives. Of the three men involved in the robbery, two have made a Christian profession of faith. Frequently, the missionary tra veled to fishing villages and tiny mountain villages, some of which had never seen a miss ionary before. In the past several years he has worked closely with three Japanese country pastors, traveling with them to conduct services in towns where there is no pastor. A native of Carney, Michigan, the speaker received his bachelor of airits degree from Wheaton Col lege, and his bachelor of divinity degree from Columbia Seminary. Before going to Japan, he served as pastor of the First Presbyter ian church of Picayune, Mississ ippi, and the Slidell Presbyterian church, Slidell, Louisiana. He is a member of Meridian Presby tery. The Peterson’s are parents of four children, Ann, 16; Mairy El len, 13; Richard, 9; and Daniel, 4. During the furlough year they will be at home in Richmond, Va„ before returning to Japan in the summer of 1961. Negro News BY CANNIE G, BROWN 201 N. Cansler St. Rev. Philip R.
