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.?

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.
