Mrs. J. W. Moore. THE CAROLINA WREN While we are shivering from snow and cold winds, we can dream of spring and make plans as to how we can attract and keep birds in our back yards.. - Soon they will be on their way north from winter feeding grounds and will stop along the way for food. We can entice them to stay by having feeding stations and houses and bird baths. You will recognize the Carolina Wren (also known as the mock ing wren) by the chestnut-brown color. It has a white streak be ginning at the base of bill, passes through the eye to the nape of the neck; throat whitish and. under parts light buff-brown. The wings and tail are finely barred with dark. The range in the United States is from the Gulf to Northern Illi nois and southern New England. The wren will nest in almost anything. Flower pots, gourds, tiles, and of course small houses can be built. The wren has a preference for a nestlhat is roof ed but not too near the homes of men. ^ — Throughout the nesting season, music fairly pours from his tiny throat; it gushes forth in a lyri cal tanrent. If by accident you discover him in your back yard, you will be amazed that so much music can come from a throat so tiny. Give him a home in your backyard Ma/tiluM.

H //, Rooms with an Qlegant Look There 1$ much ado today in the interior designer’s world about . something called “living ele gance.” But what, exactly puts “elegance” into a room? It can be found in rooms with a serene Jap anese flavor, in a home with a rustic Early American charm, in a drawing room reminiscent of Old England, in a home of the sleekest modern design. Elegance, then, is not of an age, but of a feeling — an elegant room must be warm, friendly and gracious. The particular style and mood de sired by the designer begins with the walls. The rest of the room then grows. Lamps and lighting play a key role, both as a decora tion and as a source of adequate illumination or as a subtle means to focus attention on an area, a portrait or picture. Floorcoverings are important and must be com patible with the wallcovering, the upholstery fabrics used in the room, and with the draperies and window treatment. Lastly, but cer tainly not least, the furnishings and accessories should be care fully chosen to enhance the decor and to provide the comforts and relaxation we desire in our homes. There is today an endless and fas-i rinating selection of wallcover ings, furnishings and accessories for every taste and expression. > With this array of creativity avail able, every room in our homes should be exciting or relaxing, as the spirit moves. In the twinkle of an sya (or almost) a long, dull and narrow hall can be turned into a Persian garden, a Venetian terrace, or a Roman forum; or if history is too distant, perhaps a jolly English pub or a New Eng land Inn. With carefully selected wallcover ings, most well-planned rooms can almost stand on their own. I have seen a drab, uninspiring but well-scaled room glow like an Oriental jewel or glitter with high Renaissance splendor . . . ail be cause of the right choice of beau tiful and suitable wall treatment. • The budget consciousness we all face today can make the cost of decorating a studied investment, a thing for the vftiole family to enjoy. A dividend today is the washable surfaces available that little Johnny, with his jam-and- mud-stained hands cannot dam age. Another is the wide assort ment of treated upholstery fab rics which are almost impervious to spills and stains... from which' spots can be wiped off without leaving t^thale stains. Another is the wide variety of floorcoverings which combine both decorative -aspects with utility and low-cost of installation. The resourcefulness of the home furnishings industry has given to day's homemakers a tremendous selection of decorative and livable accessories and furnishings, which truly can be the means of giving us homes of “living elegance,’’ and low-cost decorating need never lack good taste or good design.

GETTYS Dr. Getfys Writes Two More Booklets Two companion booklets are just off the pnass to add to the steadily muonting series of relig ious publications by Dr.. Joseph M. Gettys. academic dean and Bible professor at Presbyterian College. His most recent works make ?6 titles he now has in print, with total sales running well over 200^000 copies. „ The booklets published this month by John Knox Press and on sale at religious .book Count ers are “How to Study Philip- pians, Colossians and Philemon,” and its companion pieefe for lead ers entitled “How to Teach Phi- lippians, Colossians and Phile mon.” They also will be used as supplementary material for the new Covenant Lifp Curriculum of the Presbyterian Church, US, this spring. Without slackening pace, Dr. Gettys recently completed ids manuscript on a study book for young people to be entitled “God’s Last Word,” for use in Covenant Life Sunday evening study. He next plans to write either “A Survey of the Earlier Prophets,” or “How to Study Matthew.” The literary production of PC’s Joe Gettys is worked into a crowded program as dean, teach er, occasional supply pastor and leader at summer conferences. Despite the full schedule of other activities, however, he is most widely known for his 26 religious booklets. His most popular title, “What Presbyterians Believe,” hps sold more than 80,000 copies throughout the country, and he is steadily adding to his already numerous series dealing with the various books of the Bible. In addition, he writes a monthly ar ticle for “The Christian Observ er’ magazine and is preparing 18 lessons for “The Earnest Work er” on the uniform Sunday school lesson to be used in 1965.!

He became academic dean in 19d2. His previous teach- j ing experience included six years as professor of Bible and relig ious education at Queens College (1938-44) and eight years as pro fessor of English Bible (1944-52) at the General Assembly’s Train-! ing School in Richmond. A native of York, he received I his BA degree from Erskine, his bachelor of systematic theology and master of systematic theol ogy from the Biblical Seminary of New York, and his Ph D; from New York University. He is in cluded in “Who’s Who in Ameri can Education’,’ “Directory of American Scholars,” and “Who’s Who in the South and Southwest.” Dr. Gettys is married to the for mer Mary Louise Schirmer of Co lumbia, and they have three chil dren. What’s in a name? Does your curiosity ever get the best of you at the sound or sight of an tip- usual one? Palmetto Pathway! has been curious for some time about some South Carolina place names, and we decided it might be interesting to tell their sto ries. Never did we realize how ex* tengive a project this could be come. While researching infor mation, we became acquainted with one of the real experts on names in the Palmetto State. He is Claude H, Neuffer, Associate Professor of English at the Uni versity of South Carolina. Back in 1953, Professor Neuf fer and a couple of his USC col leagues, Dr. Havilah Babcock, Head at the English Department, and Dr. Francis Bradley, Dean Emeritus of Faculty, decided to convert their “hobby’-’ into print- e l form as a publication titled ‘ Names in South Carolina.’’ Their modest beginning has be come, over the years, volumes of information and history about our state. A chat with the Professor re vealed his belief that “a study of our names will reveal a great deal about our history, our mores, and our own ; inimitable southern character, sometimes so sadly misjudged and misun derstood by those of more frigid elirftate or Colder reason.” Professor Neuffer and his as sociates distributed 150 copies of that first modest publication. Today, their mailing list exceeds one thousand, including colleges and universities around the na-1 fion, and the Library of Con-‘ gress in Washington, D. C. Many inquiries about names come from South Carolina natives now living in other parts of the country. They wish to maintain an active interest in what is a part of their heritage. Professor Neuffer is a native of Abbeville, S. C., having been educated in schools there, and later receiving degrees from Birth Announcements - HAKE. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Brown Hart of Belton, announce the birth of a daughter, Martha Alex ander, on January 15 at Bailey Memorial Hospital. Maternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Oeland and paternal grand parents are Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Hart. — Long after the price is forgotten... Clemson and the University of South Carolina. His wife, the former Irene LaBorde, might be called his “silent partner”-in the “Names” publication, since she is a free lance writer and a former member of the English faculty at USC. With the Professor’s help, we are going to tell you many in teresting stories that may sur prise, entertain, or amaze you. For instance, did you ever won der where the word maverick came from in our language? It son oi the* builder of “Montpel ier,” moved to Texas, largely because he disagreed with Cal houn’s secession doctrine. He ac quired a herd of cattle in pay ment of a debt, and in confusion as to the unbranded “strays,” they came to be called mave ricks. The term has been accpet ed, and is in frequent use today as a word for a human “stray” or nonconformist.
