I have just received a 'beau tifully written and thoughtful letter from Mrs. James Cook of Elon college. In a very nice man ner, &he took me to task for the recent column I wrote about our North Carolina florists—“in lieu of flowers . . Some of my other readsmight share her views. Mrs. Cook writes. “I am em ployed by a non-profit agency that cares for boys and girls and have the opport nitty to see first hand the value of the statement, ‘In lieu of flowers please contri bute to .’ A gift to help a child in need is an investment that will continue playing divi dends forever, in my opinion.” She has more to say but this is the essence. In my reply to her letter I told her that I was not launching a counterattack, because I agreed with everything she had to say. I have worked with the flor ists for 46 years and have basic knowledge of the expen.ses in volved in the production of cut flowers and container - grown plants. I was merely trying to point out that, as a businessman he has the same right to sell his products as do other businessmen, and to deny him the right is, to say the least, un fair. In my own personal life I have always contributed to organiza tions such as Mrs. Cook repres Doth. And so, I am not recanting from the position I have assumed because I think it to be fair and just. However, I respect the views expressed by Mrs. Cook as I ha\Je already indicated. • The North Carolina Commer cial Flower Growers’ associatiooi contributed $300 to help defray expenses of a recent field trip for our students in floriculture to visit greenhouses ranges in the Piedmont and mountains. They also sponsor a scholarship for a worthy student. I expect, too, that, as indivi- dauls, they contri.:ute to many worthy causes as suggested by Mrs. Cook.
