ATTRACTIVE ACCESSORIES ,
“Before you discard an item—i
take a careful look at it. It may|
bo you can transfon.-n it into an
attractive accessory for your
homo,” Mrs. Ila Grey White,
homo economics extension agent,
rorquimans County, points out.
Here’s an example. Witir-in-
grmulty, elbow grease, and black
paint, Mrs. Tom White of Win-
fall. transformed an antique
sausage grinder into an attract
ive planter for her family room.
She e>vorod a shoemaker’s last

as a smoking stand and she
cleaned an old set of scalbs, plac

them for fruit arrangements.
“So next time j.’ou’re about to
throw a similar object aw’ay.

can transfer it into a useful and
attractive household accessory,”
Mrs. White says.
SCRATCHING THE SURFACE
Armed with old nylons, putty
knives, and determination, 32

in a hard days worwv, but believe
it was a rewarding and profita

SEWING CENTER
Having a convenient pl.ace to
sew is important for any home
maker, believes Isabelle Buck-
ley, home economics extension a-
gnt, Rockingham County.
So the Extension staff has a
model sewing center at th-eir
office building. Among the fea
tures of the model center are: a
chest of drawers for storing sew
ing supplies and an ironing cen
ter located near the sewing ma
chine.
As I write this, May 23, the
weather has taken a decided
warming trend in all sections of
the state and plants are growing
real well. In our neighborhood,
rainfall has been more than ade
quate and well distributed. Lawn

ham. j
Mrs. Sharpe’s daughter is at
tending business school, Martha
B. Edmondson, home economics
extension agent, relates. After
completing a course in charm,
the daughter i\aced hom.e to teach
her miother what she had learn
ed.
Instead, she found her mother
already knew how' to sit proper
ly and how to enter a room
gracefully. "Where did you learn
that?” the daughter demanded.
“Why from an Extension

mowing is a must; at least twice
a week.
To keep things .growing and
happy in the cut flower garden,
the vegetable garden :fnd in flo
wer beds and borders, frequent
shallow' cultivation will be help
ful., Where mulches have been
applied, stirring of the soil may
ce omitted but weeds should be
pulled out. A mulch usually is
sufficient for such shallow' root
ed plants as azalea.? and rhodo
dendrons. Keep all plants pro
tected fra.T! insect and disease
pests by following a regular
spray or dust program.
Oak Grove Baptist church will
have Vacation Bible School next

The deacon? of Oak Grove
will meet Tuesday in the pastor’s
home at 7:00.
Leafy v'egetables, snapbeans
and sweet com may need a light
side dressing of nitrogen, de
pending upon your soil type.
Light sandy soils are more likely
to show nitrogen deficiency than
are the heavier types—clays and
loams. Availability of all plant
nutrients will be closely related
to the water supply.

lives lost on the state’s streets

hav'e been saved if seat belts had
been worn.
The Department also saj's that
failure to wear seat belts caused
five of the 12 deaths last week
end alone. -
j “Investigations of the acci-
i dents proved that failure to
j wear these e.ssential safety de-
I vices wer a major factor in the
; death list”, according to Com-
i missionr A. Pilston Godwin, Jr.
I Seventeen of the week’s fatali-
1 ties resulted from vehicles run-

In Chrome Plating
His family remembers with especial appreciation the many
kindnesses and expressions of sympathy during his lengthy illness, of
his legion of personal friends and patrons through^the many years he
has been associated with Timms Furniture Co., Inc.
A sparkling Bell System coin
telephone — cloaked in a mirror
like chrome plating — is inviting
admiring glances from New
York to Seattle, while boldly re
sisting nicks, knocks and knives.
The chromium-plated phones
^have teen, placed in areas of
neentrated telephone usage,
such as airports, lobbies of com
mercial buildings, street corners
and boardwalks. They’re es
I pecially effective for instalJa
' tions near coastlines, where sail
air wa?es a constant attack on
less durable metals. The attract
ive appcaranceof c h r o m i u t
seems to fit many surroundings,
j Field maintenance has been
greatly reduced and very little
in the way of damage to the
chromefinish has been reported
said R. B. Moore, local telephone
I mana.ger.
Gladiolus corms should be
planted every two weeks for a
succession of flowers during the
summer months. In the vegetable
garden, successive plantings of
snapbeans and sweetcom are in
order in the lower Piedmont and
eastern Carolina. Keep tomatc
plants pruned by pinching out
the tender shoots as they form
in the leaf axils at the base of
the leaf stem.
Th iris may be considered as
the constant companion of a well
planned garden. They grow weL
in all sections of the state with
reasonable oare. Rhizomes may
be divided anytime after the
blooming period until about
October in the lower Piedmont
an deastern Carolina, and Sep
tember in the mountains.
Be on guard for lace bugs on
azalea, pyracantha, Washington
hawthorne and rhododendron.
3piay with Sevin or Malathion,
mixing with water according to
instructions on containers.
Remove old fruiting canes of
red and black raspberry plants
after the crop has been harx'est-
ed. If you are planning to lift
and divide any of your early
flowering bulbs, be sure to wait
until the leaves have turned
brown. It is desirable to lift and
dvide daffodils at least once in
ever>' three years.
