URGED TO PLANT
FLOWERING SHRUBS
The Civic League is requesting that
every person who possibly can plant
a yellow bell bush and a Pyrus Jap-
onica side by aide on their front lawn.
If you will take a little ride around
the city today you will admire very
much the beauty of this combination,
at Margaret Hunter park, College
campus, Power House grounds and on
many lawns throughout the city. The
cost of these two shrubs will be very
little. Anybody interested may get
in touch with their favorite nursery
or any °f the places now advertising
these shrubs or telephone 283.

Through the cooperation of Station

arrangements have been made for the
broadcasting of a series under the
title “Youth in the Toils.” These
fifteen-minute broadcasts will present
stirring, dramatic episodes based on
real life stories of young people who
have traveled the road from early
minor offenses to later serious erimes
and to the gates of reformatories and
prisons. They will follow typical ex
periences of sucih young people in
courts, in reform schools, and on pa
role. They are based on the report
recently submitted by a committee of
the American Law Inst.cute, which
has conducted a two-year investiga
tion into the problem of crimes among
young people, this investigation being
designed as a basis for recommending
practical revisions of the administra
tion of criminal laws looking toward

ing of criminal youths who can be

Back taxes for the year 1938 are also now in my

these taxes to call and pay up. Levying on these
taxes will start soon resulting in considerable ad
ditional cost which will have to be added to your
taxes.
Those with 1937 taxes and any back ot that year
will please not ignore this notice. I do not wish
to cause you any embarassment, but I cannot do
otherwise than carry out the law and the final in

NOTES
By DORIS ARM FI ELD
PLEASE FORGIVE
In a writeup in last week’s paper
of a party honoring a recent bride, I
had the name of the bride, who was
formerly Miss Nora Lee McDowell,
as Mrs. Pettus Bowers. Instead, it
is Mrs. Pettus Bowers Dawkins. I’m
so very, very sorry' I made this mis
take, and do hope Mrs. Dawkins will
forgive me. Next time, I will try to
be sure of the name.
PERSONAL ITEMS
Miss Brantley Pelham of Columbia
spent Easter with her mother. Mrs.
A. P. Pelham on Harrington street.
Miss Ella Mae Milam of Columbia
spent the week-end with her mother,
Mrs. M. L. Milam.
EASTER
Sunshine, rain, ice, sleet, snow r ..
that was Easter day. I don’t think
11 have ever witnessed a more peculiar
1 day as far _as the weather is concern
ed than Sunday. The weather kept
many who had bought new Easter out
fits from wearing them, but not so
with your reporter. She donned her
Easter bonnet and went to church,
and didn’t feel so bad when she got
there, for there were other spring
outfits there too. Mrs. Ernest Brooks
was dressed in a lovely dusty pink
suit ... Carrie Lee McSwain were a
darling pink hat and a corsage of red
and white roses. The most noticed
corsages of all were the ones worn
by Miss FVances Dougherty and Eve
lyn McCracldn. FVances wore garde
nias, and Evelyn’s corsage was an
orchid. There were many other lovely
spring dresses and suits, and many
beautiful corsages, but your reporter
didn’t have her notebook and pencil,
and when it comes to memory, she is
very poor.

Floyd Bradley’s home? The minia

V. Clamp’s yard? The huge daffodils
that Mrs. Frank Wilson wears? The
lovely scene the red japonica and yel
low forsythia make on the grounds
