YARD & GARDEN “This is just an impromptu affair” explained Mrs. Price Padgett as I entered Commun ity hall where ladies of the Newberry Garden club were holding their first show. Time was running out, as I under stood, for the club to become federated with the State unit and federation was conditioned on a project and this was the project. The show did right well I thought for the few hours the ladies spent in getting it to gether. The Camellia blossoms were all pretty, showing little damage from recent whims of the weather. There were many varieties, including an “un known” which was too pretty to be without a name. The Ar rangements section with a score of displays was also lovely. The blue iris and Mrs. Lou Cobb’s mass arrangement I thought excellent and indeed all ar- arrangements had much to commend them. . “Francine” exhibited by Mrs Arthur Wlelling was picked by the judges as the best flower in the show. In the semi-doubles class o Rev. John Bennett won first place. It was shown by Mrs. Price Padgett. Mrs. E. G. Abie’s Empress won second in this class and Mrs. Don Rook’s Donclarii third place. In the Anemope or cup shapes Mrs. Arthur Welling’s Francine was first, Mrs. Don Rook’s Debutante second and Mrs. Welling’s Elegans third. In the incomplete or semi doubles class Mrs. E. G. Able won first with Alba Superba, Mrs. Welling second with Hermes and Mrs. O. M. Cobb third with Waterloo. In the complete doubles Mrs. O. M. Cobb was given first place for a Rubra Plena, Mrs. R. E. Livingston second for a Pink Perfection and Mrs. E. G. Able third for an Alba Fimbri- ata. From remarks dropped by ad mirers I judged Pink Perfection and Malhotiania Rubra to be the most popular blossoms. In the arrangements division Mrs. W. F. Partridge won first place for a mass arrangemeni, Mrs. O. M. Cobb second and Mils. James Britt third for like arrangements. In line arrangements Mrs. Rook was first, Mrs. Emil ^ ... the ies displayed Magnolia Son- langeana and another Magnolia I did not know, nor of their standing in the judging, but they were strikinly beautiful. Dave Caldwell, Dr. -Hugh Senn and Dr. Arthur Welling did the judging. The flower club ladies are enthusiastic and talented and we may anticipate their first formal show to be an item for the books. I hope that in some future shows the ladies will not for get the rose. Without detract ing from the “aristocrat of flo wers” there is simply no flo wer in all the world as pretty as the rose. The rose will test the green thumb to the break ing point, too. It is no easy flower to grow and is as much of a challenge as th e Camellia. The grower of a fine rose has every reason to stick out his <or her) chest.

MISS SUMMER HEADS RED CROSS Some ladies of my acquaint ance ordered Texas xoses before they read the advice given here last week and they are much upset. Said one, if she got so much as one bloom she was' going to stick my nose in it for causing her so much anx iety over the outcome of her ^‘bargain.” Just how much of a bargain you are getting may be determined when you are told that of the small amount they ask for the roses they give the smaller newspapers half of it for running the ads. One offer currently running advertises in big letters 42 ROSES $2.95. In much small er print underneath is added “shrubs and evergreens,” and there’s the catch. If you read on you will find that 25 of the “42 BOSES, shrubs and ever- greens” are 2-foot Amoor River Privet hedge plants. You get just three roses, and roses of doubtful quality at that. As to privet hedge plants, we have them at Gildercrest by the mil lions free for the pulling. The linotyper had me say ing last week that Homer Schumpert mixed powdered “slum” with his soil in plant ing Mountain laurel. The word should of course have been alum. Mrs. Seth Meek reports that her mother was a member and active in the original Newberry Garden club, and she thought perhaps Mrs. Metts Fant was a member. The club at that time was a part of the Civic league Mrs. Meek said. Miss Mattie Adams is now spending a while in the home of her sister, Mrs. McHardy Mower on Mower Avenue. (Written for The Sun) “I shall be very happy to devote my time and efforts to such an important work as that carried on by the American Red Cross locally and in the nation. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have been chosen as chairman of the American Red Cross Fund drive for 1950.” p Miss Grace Summer is a na tive Newberrian, having been born and reared here. She is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George W. Summer. She attended the public schools and is a graduate of Newberry high school. From these she went to Chicora college for Women when it was located in Columbia. After her gradua tion she returned to Newberry and since then has taken a pro found interest in civic pride, always working for the uplift and betterment of her commun ity. Having served six years as Regent of Jasper chapter DAR, she now holds the office of Vice Regent and program chair man. The work of the American Legion Auxiliary is very close to her heart. She has served the local unit as president for two years; been district presi dent for two years, and a mem ber of the State board of the Department of South Carolina for the past 10 years. She is a volunteer hospital worker, hav ing completed the course at the Veteran’s hospital in Columbia. During the years when the Auxiliary sponsored the sale of Tuberculosis Seals she was al ways there ready to do her bit in sending out the seals. At present she holds the office of Recording Secretary foi the Newberry county Tuberculosis Association. fMiss Summer is a member of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer. She is a regular at ^ndant at Sunday School and has served as President of her class for several years. She is 2nd vice president of the Ladies Aid Society and also chairman of the Finance committee. Be ing a member of the Woman’s Missionary Society she is Re cording Secretary of Circle IV. Next to her Church, Grace (as she is known to her co-work ers) considers the work of the American Red Cross the next important. She has always been a loyal and earnest work er in this great humanitarian work. She has solicited in the residential section and been chairman of her Ward several years. She is a member of Drayton Rutherford Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy and also Civic League. Grace maintains her home in Newberry and one of her hob bies is gardening. She inherit ed the love of gardening from her parents. In horticulture she is gifted in rooting shrubs and growing her own flowers as well as vegetables. She is President of the recently or ganized Green Thumb Garden Club. Dignified, quiet and unassum ing, she goes about her plan ning for the work' of the Red Cross Fund Drive. Preliminary plans are already under way, The quota for this county has not been announced, but will be given out in a few days. With the generous support that the citizens of this county have given the Red Cross in previous years, I am sure that we will go over the top with a bang. If you get confused on the words camisole and casserole you can get straight by remem bering that the first has to do with a live chicken and the latter with a dead one.

It is a lesson that may be simultaneously puzzling, maddening, challenging, de lightful and wonderful. It commences when as in fants we first become aware of other human beings—and un less we take ourselves to a des olate island—ends only when we die. —^Practice Home Eco nomics. - ' Mrs. Innis Mayer Ave. Mrs. Frances Crump, Harrington street.

Bruce said that one day a tourist paused and quizzed a Negro who was plowing in a sandy field along the roadside. “Say,” asked the tourist, “how far is it to clay?” “Oh,” said the Negro, I’d guess about five miles.” “That,” said the tourist, eye ing the sandy soil, “I believe.” WILSON YATES GOES TO ROCK HILL Attorney Wlilson Yates, who has been connected with R.

Club Profits From Azaleas The Newberry Garden Club met at the Community Hall on Friday morning, February 10th for its regular monthly meeting, with the pre§ident, Mrs. Rich ard L. Baker, presiding. The meeting was opened with ;he roll call and reading of the minutes. Reports of officers and committees were given. The treasurer’s report showed a profit of $60.00 on the recent ;ale of azaleas and camellias, vith the prospect of about $60.00 more on the special or ders. Outstanding among the jommittee reports was that of the committee on organizing new garden club units. It re ported that, up to date, eight units have been formed, with several others in the making. The project committee pre sented several plans to the club ior discussion. Some of these were long term projects that required further investigation, and it was decided to put off until a later meeting the adop tion of one of these. For an immediate small project the club adopted the plan of keep ing a fresh flower arrangement at all times in the entrance oi Oakland Village To Be Re-wired At the Tuesday night meeting of City Council, Council Lee Boozer opened the proceedings .vith a prayer and the city manager presented several mat ters for consideration.

High school science classes in the Newberry public schools re quested assistance in putting on elementary courses in Soil Con servation in their respective classes. This included a field trip by these classes to study conversation measures on a complete soil conservation farm a few miles out of Newberry. Three groups of veteran en- rollees have been particularly interested in the conservation program during the year. Each of these groups had definite in struction in soil conservation and had a special meeting on this subject to which outsiders were invited. A total of some 350 attended these three gen eral group meetings. Veterans’ groups themselvses were taken to study practices on nearby farms and a great many of the veterans have made applica tion for assistance in farm plan ning for soil conservation. Ser vice clubs in the city of New berry have held soil conserva tion meetings and special pro grams on this subject for the benefit of their members.

Maxie Collins o^ Co lumbia declared before a Spar tanburg Young Democrats meet ing last night that sections of the • bill to apply general elec tion requirements to political party primary voting would mean “tyranny.” He said “everyone knows” the bill “was written for this year’s primary to keep the com mon people from voting.” He added that except for “the jok er” he thought the bill a good one. Long, a member of the Ju diciary Committee which intro duced the bill, told the House of Representatives that al though it might have the effect of disfranchising many White people the committee had no such motives. He declared the committee tried to draft the best bill pos sible and that he would not stand for the committee’s mo tives being “impugned.” Collins was in the House chamber when Long replied to his “joker” charge. church will mday evening, Febi at 8 o’clock in the Mary Memorial. , 4 -yV ,; All members ar e urged to present C.
