Red Poinsettia
Means Christmas
Poinsettias are an much symbol# of
C hrlutujtt* us Santa Cluus uud Lho.
Christmas lioo. Its blazing scarlet
leaves, bucked by brilliant green
leaves, herald the festivities of the
holiday season. We see it reproduced
on gift wrappings, magazine covers,
and papor imitations, but the most
glorious of all Is the plant itself.
Although wo speak of It as a flower,
It is really a shrub, and a member
of the huge euphorblu family which
numbers almost a thousand vurlotles.
The bright colored cluster is not a
blossom, but a grouping of loaves
which contrast in size and color, but
pot In shape, with thoso of the rest of
the plant. If you will examine the
two closely you will see how identical
they are.
The poinsettia Is native to Mexico j
where it grows wild In tropical cli-1
mates. Although our greenhouse
llower Is only half the size of the original,
it lacks nothing in beauty, it
has, In fact, many superior qualities,
Including u more delicate and shapely
leaf.
Because it is a tropical plant you
should avoid drafts or overnight cold
periods to koep It healthy. Extremes
of temperature will cause the red I
leaves to turn yellow, ahd continued
cold will make them unsightly In a
short time. They also like a humid
room, which is why the kitchen Is
recommended for night time. A temperature
of 65 degrees at night, and
ten degrees warmer for the daytime
Is satisfactory. They need a continuous
supply of moisture.
The poinsettia Is one of the lov^ffc,
est Christmas gifts when supplied In
a gayly colored pot, and tide with a
ribbon and a sprig of holly, it supplies
the need for a gift which iB Inexpensive,
and at the same time luxurious.
There is no need to worry
whether an additional poinsettia plant
Is given, for at Christinas time several
can be used to advantage, and
they will provide a holiday utmos^here
which no amount of colored
paper can give.
The colored cluster leaves from the
poinsettia is sometimes used on an
evening or dinner gown. It is beautiful
for this purpose, although its
keeping qualities are very limited,
and it is a gamble to depend upon
it lasting a full evening or afternoon.
Red plants for Christmas are the
order of the day. Try red begonias,
red primulas, red cyclamens and by
all means the brilliant red polnsettiaa.
A Gift From the Midway Club
Credit is given the Midway Home
Demonstration club for one dollar and
twenty cents which our librarian of
the Midway High school will use in
buying a book for the circulating library
of Kershaw county. Mrs. Fleta
West is in charge of the same and
invites everyone to go over and get
a book or drop in for a visit.
Mrs. A. A. West, health chairman
of the club, has been aiding two N.
Y. A. girls In establishing some first
aid necessities in Midway High
school.

Woods Fires I)o Lot
of Damage in County
During the past tire houhoii 8,341
acres of Kershaw county's woodlands
were burned over by uncontrolled
woods fires. The Iohb thut was resulted
In by the flres burning over
this area came about despite tho efforts
of the organization created In
this county to protect Its woodlands
from fire, and which functions under
tho direction of the South Carohtj"
State Forest service. The various
sources of these woods flres occurring
during tl^e past five seasons and their
corresponding acreages burned are
shown below:
Debris, burning, 1,605; smokers,
818; campers, 206; incendiary,
279 3-4; rullroud, 127; lumbering, 14;
miscellaneous, 111; unknown, 180 3 4.
At the end of tho present lire season,
W. C. Perry, County Hanger,
hopes to be able to report to the
liourd of Directors of tho Kershaw
County Conservation Service and to j
all citizens of Kershaw county thut i
the Iobs as u result of woods llres In !
tho county has been reduced to less!
than that of previous lire seasons.
Realizing that the control of woods
fires in Kershaw county requires the
cooperutiou of Its landowners and
other citizens, Mr. Perry requests
that everyone In the county exercise
the utmost precaution to prevent the
pccurrence of fire. Don't leave a camp
fire or warming flre until you are
positive that it is safe. If you are
going to burn a field, notify the warden
In whose torrltory you live so
that he will not make an unnecessary
trip to investigate it. Be sure before
leaving such a fir? that it Isn't going
to spread into some adjoining woodland.
Put out cigarettes, cigars and
matches before throwing them from
an automobile. Many fires are started
in tills way. A small uinount of
precaution when walking or riding;
In the woods will eliminate chances j
of one's starting a fire.
Kershaw county can ill afford to'
continue to sustain such tremendous j
annual losses as a result of woods J
flres as hav? taken place In th? pust.!
By following the precautions similar
to those enumerated above and otherwise
cooperating with the Kershaw
County Conservation Service, woods
flres In Kershaw county can bo satisfactorily
controlled.
