The Kings Mountain Herald
Woman of the Year
Each year at this time, the Kings
Mountain Woman's Club members
select one of their own to honor as
Club Woman of the Year.
The criteria for selection is based on
this member's activities for the previ-
ous calendar year. The award honors a
clubwoman who has given of her time,
talents, interest, organizational efforts
and active participation to render out-
standing service to both the club and
community. This year’s recipient is
Mrs. Anne Hord Gamble.
Anne's tireless efforts to make Kings
Mountain and attractive place for indi-
viduals and families to live are top
notch. She is a credit to her family,
workplace, church, community and a
valued member of the Woman's Club.
Anne, a seven-year-member of the
club, says “One of the benefits I've
enjoyed as a member of the Woman's
Club is being exposed to a diverse
group of women. Women of varying
ages, academic status and socio-eco-
nomic background have come together
to promote and participate in commu-
nity service for our city. Because of this
my own involvement in community
service has grown. Where an individ-
ual can accomplish, a group can
accomplish so much more.”

Open Gate Garden Club meets,
hears program on Arbor Day
Open Gate Garden Club met with
Betty Alexander February 11. Fifteen
members enjoyed dessert with a
Valentine theme.
Margie Bridges, president, welcomed
members and the Club Collect was
read. Margie introduced Ethel
McGinnis, who presented a program
on Arbor Day.
The idea of Arbor Day came from
Nebraska. It was the lack of trees there
that led to the founding of Arbor Day
in the 1800s.
J. Sterling Morton moved from
Michigan to Nebraska in 1854 and
missed his trees. He felt that
Nebraska's landscape and economy
would benefit from the wide-scale
planting of trees. He set an example by
planting orchards, shade trees and
wind breaks on his own farm. He
urged neighbors to follow suit.
On January, 4, 1872 Morton proposed.
ile
a tree-planting holiday to be called
Health Department, Heart Association
Arbor Day at a meeting of the State
‘Board of Agriculture. Prizes were
offered to counties and individuals for
planting the largest number of tress on
that day. It was estimated that more
than one million trees were planted in
Nebraska on that first Arbor Day
Arbor Day was made a legal holiday
in Nebraska. Morton's birthday, April
22, was selected as the date for its per-
manent observance.
During the 1870s other states passed
legislation to observe Arbor Day.
Today the most common date for the
observance is the last Friday in April.
But a number of state Arbor Days are
at other times to coincide with the best
tree planing weather - from January
and February the South to May in the
far North.
Arbor Day has now spread beyond
the United States and is observed in
many other countries of the world. In
‘North Carolina, it is observed on the
first Friday following March 15.
Timely tips were given by Phyllis
Carpenter. When planting a forsythia,
a one gallon pot can produce an eight
foot tall plant in just a few years. Plant
it where it has lots of room to grow.
Now is a good time to do a soil sam-
ple. Samples may be sent to the local
Extension Office, or a testing kit can be
purchased at garden centers. When
planting bare-root roses, soak roots
overnight in water.
Lenora Morris gave the 2003-2004
annual club report.
The flower arrangement “President’s
Theme” consisted of red and white car-
nations, blue delphinium and baby’s
breath in a white vase.
The North Carolina Garden Club
annual meeting will be April 18-20 in
Wilmington.
The friendship basket was won by
Melba Boyles. :
