THE GARDEN CLUB'S MESSAGE ON HOLLY^CONSERVATION Holly Is being peddled in the streets of Camden. The boys who purvey it, get It where ami how? Hiding in tne woods one sees holliea stripped and broken beyond repair, which a few days ago were a glory of green and l?d. TUia auggoata tiniL a part oX tliu peddled holly* is what we might cull 1>oot-leg." The only way to stop this (raffle Is to refuse to buy. lk> not be sorry for the boys because a Christmas trade Is taken from them. They may still bring in the mistletoe?a parasite most landowners are glad to have removed, and the red berries which infest and decorate our swamps. H you explain to the boys the sacred associations of holly and show them why they should not touch their neighbors tree, you will be giving a lesson In good citlxenship and respect of property rights. Holly is the special Christmas green and there is no reason you should buy it-?Xrom the proper sources. The farm women at the community market have holly for sale, holly cut on their own property; rial it is to their interest to cut it In such a way that the tree is preserved to make a come-back crop three years hpnee. Buy from them. Better still plant your own tree and trim it for Christinas. Holly once grew wild on the seaboard from Massachusetts to Florida. Raids for tho Christmas trade have stripped all New England and New Jersey of their wild stock. After the holly was stolen the states amusingly enacted laws to close the door against bootleg greens. They permit tho sale only of such holly as is grown In a licensed orehafd. According to Proverbs 29-18 "Where there~hr~no vision tho people perish." Unless wo have vision and courage to stop this traffic, our holly will perish. BEAUTIFICATION OF PARK . BY CAMDEN GARDEN CLUB Rome was 'hot built in a day nor can a rough bare piece of land be converted Into a thing of beauty and a joy forever in the twinkling of an eye. The Camdeu Garden Club took for one of Its projects tho laying out end beautifying of the park lu front of the new station. An undertaking that is to reflect their work for years to come. Like matrimony not to bo entered into lightly or unadvisedly, especially with no funds. Today a most comprehensive plan has been drawn and blue prthted by a member of tho club, the plots, the pipes and spigots for water laid through the plots, roadways covered with gravel are to be hard surfaced in tho spring, and the whole land fertilized, planted In peas and plowed under. This work done with assistance of the city fathers. Twenty-five live oaks, magnolias, and nandlnas" have been planted. Thanks are due the city also for dividing this expense with the Garden Olub and In enabling us to obtain the services of Mrs. -Millar in the planting of the trees. Upon request of the committee the Seaboard Air Lirie officials have generously agreed to furnish and install six attractive and suitable electric lights and standards, similar to those at Williamsburg through the center of the plots, the city to connect and furnish power and upkeep. The Njiftots win be suitably planted In shrubs, the embankments covered witl\ vines and native trees such as dogwood, crabapple and flowering shrubs landscaped among the trees, and green cover crops planted over the vacant expanse. The committee has (given their time and interest and work moat generously and deserve the thanks of the whole community. Slow but sure Is the best policy.? Sadie Von Tresckow.

USE CORRECT HAND SIGNALS IN DECEMBER Lot the other driver kaow what you plan to do whea you tura or stop, requosta Wortham W. Dibble, act lag traffic engineer of the state highway department. Importance of hand signals is increased in cold weather. December accidents show a higher perqentago of Improper turns and failures to signal than those in other months. For a loft turn lite hand nnd arm are extended straight out; for a light turn the hand is raised; and for a stop or slowing down the hand points down vertically. Signals are required to be given for 100 feet . before u turn, with the distance increased on rural highways when speeds are higher. The State law specifically requires signals to be made outside the car. Just as important as the hand signal Is tho position of the vehicle on the road. If you intend to turn to the left, the vehicle should show this intention us clearly us the hand signal. The vehicle should bo maneuvered to position Just right of the center line. For a right turn, drive us cloao to the right side of the road as possible. | Stops should be made to the right also. Driving in tho proper lane Tor turns j not otlly shows the driver behind you what to expect, but also leaves the road free for vehicles continuing straight on. It is at lite same time an act of courtesy and of self-preservation, as it protects you by decreasing the chances of other drivers cutting you off as you prepare to turn. . % Recovers 8tolen Car The Ford automobile belonging to DaCosta Brown, which was stolen from In front of the H.
