National Garden and
Better Homes Weeks
^ month two Trculfi in
succession art being celebrated nationally?the
first A<pril 10th to 26th
feainr National Garden Week, and
?*??di*tely Allowing, from ApiHl
40th to May 2nd, being Better Homes
Week.
These two event* should be of interest
to every woman in South Oarohna,
fpr what woman is there who
doesn't love a garden, or who isn't
interested in a better, more convenient
or more attractive home? And
to the extent of her interest, every
woman is being asked to observe
these two weeflcs. Garden beauty,
like charity, should begin at home,
but neither should stop there. The
influence of beautiful home gardens
cannot be gauged, but would be difficult
to overestimate. 1 . Home gardene
are merely the nuclei from
which this garden beauty grows. National
Garden week should act as a
fresh impetus to^ beautify homes,
cities, roads, schools, churches and
,public institutions. During this
week let our aim be to spread beauty
all oveif the neighborhood.
Attractive gardens, either in town
or country, usually mean neat and
well kept grounds and buildings, a
family that is enjoying life,,,And a
place where people couldn't help being
home loving.
The surroundings of the country
farm or home might be termed'three
outdoor rooms. The front yard, the
living room, where on a hot Sunday
afternoon or in the evening after the
work is done, one rests on the porch
or under the trees. The vegetable
garden is the dining room?for one
leads up to the other, and the farm
yard is the kitchen?the scene of a
deal of one's work.
r Without extravagance landscaping,
and with the use of many of our lovely
native evergreens from the nearby
woods, any farm home can be made
"a thing of beauty and a joy for-,
ever" at practically no cost except
time and labors
May this 'be a^plea to the farmers,
as well as their wives, to begin
today to plan to beautify and make
attractive their outdoor rooms.
And with attractive surroundings
soon will follow better homes. Whitewash
is cheap and easily made. A
good coat of whitewash oh fences,
barns anJd outhouses will put new
"petp" in any community, and do
away, with that dejected appearance
that looks as if spring fever had
every homo in its grip. An era of
whitewashing throughout the state,
coupled with a clean-up and paintup
campaign, wherever (possible, and
a little transplanting of native shrubbery
to the "outdoor rooms," would
mean a new and encouraged rural
South. Carolina.
1
Let us also extend our efforts beyond
city limits to the high-frays.
Schools also have no excuse to be
without some planting. With proper
care and understanding a school may
become a very paradise of welcome.
National Garden Week is a great success
if it enriches the countryside so
as to bring back the original beauty
Better Homes Week offers an excellent
time to stage a "Clean-up and
Paint-tfp Campaign." There are this
year in South Carolina 105 Better
Hornet chairmen for whites and 88
for colored people, wot^king on programs
of bettering home conditions
in their respective con^munities.
The Better Homes Movement is not
intended to encourage the building
of expensive homes or the purchasing
6f expensive furnishings or equipment.
Quite the contrary, it is
to encourage modest, welldcept homes
and to inspire worthy home life.
Remember the dates, April 19th25th?'National
Garden week; and
April 26th4May 2nd?Better Homes
Week.
