Charleston’s spring season is in
full swing, the city is buzzing with
seasonal activities and seasonal
visitors. The private homes are
now open to the public on a series
of tours, and the famous gardens.
Magnolia, Middleton and Cypress
are in splendid bloom, vivid with
azaleas. At the gardens the peak
of bloom is expected towards the
end of March to continue well into
April. The Seventh Annual Tours
of Charleston’s Historic Houses,
will continue through April 9. Dur
ing that period twenty private
homes will be open on a series of
four tours, and it is only at this
particular time that they can be
visited. .
And during Charleston’s “tour
ist” season many related activities
are planned. The Society for the
Preservation of Negro Spirituals
will give two of their renowned
concerts, candlelight concerts in
costume of the period will be held
in the H e y w a rd-Washington
house; on Saturdays old planta
tions outside the city will be open
ed by the auxiliaries of St.
Michael’s and St. Phillip’s Church
es. Each year at this time the
town, always interesting, always
unusual, seems to take on an add
ed beauty and gaiety. Much work
goes into the preparation of all
the events scheduled for this per
iod.
♦
The Historic Charleston Foun
dation which conducts the tours,
begins its plans early each June
to open homes the following
spring, and the generous owners
of the houses are particularly
careful that their gardens as well
as their drawing rooms are seen at
their best. Thirty young women
of the community are carefully
drilled in its history and cultural
background so that they may bet
ter conduct the visitor through the
homes. Even the horses driving
Charleston’s tourist buggies are
given an extra spit and polish.
The great gardens lying a few
miles outside the city dictate the
Charleston season. There it is na
ture, ably assisted by man, which
concentrates through the twelve
months to achieve riotous bloom
each spring. The azaleas, climb
ing roses, cherokee and Lady
Banksia, wisteria, dogwood, pyrus
japonica, “naked ladies,” a form
of swamp lily, and all the flower
ing shrubs seem to bloom in
unison. At Magnolia, proclaimed
as the world’s most beautiful gar
den, at Middleton, where the great
terraces Tvere laid out two cen
turies ago.^ at Cypress, a fairy
land garden floating on a cypress
lagoon, thje profusion of bloom is
multiplied a hundred times in the
reflections of the lakes, with the
water darkened mysteriously black
by the roots of the Cypress trees.
Charleston was settled in 1670,
but the homes the visitor will see
span most of the 18th Century, and
the gardens too are part of a cul
ture which was known throughout
the English speaking world, when
this was the ranking port in the
colonies. Unlike other great cities
of America, Charleston has pre
served much of her past. This is in
large part due to the War Be
tween the States, and Reconstruc
tion with the resultant depression
which followed. For then there
was no building, and very little
alteration in a destitute city. So
that at the beginning of this cen
tury, Charleston was left with a
wealth . of eighteenth century
buildings and culture, a national
heritage of architecture. And to
day visitors are flocking from the
forty-eight States, and many for
eign countries to see this eigh
teenth century city in the full
beauty of a twentieth century
springtime.
The gardens are open seven
days a week from 8 a.m. to dusk.
The homes are open morning and
afternoon Monday through Friday,
and on Sunday afternoon. For full

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
F OLKS sure have been getting ex
cited lately about these so-called
“misery” programs on radio and
TV here of late. I’ve noticed that
newspapers all around the country
have been putting forth editorially
with a campaign to get something
done about it.
Folks are objecting to the ones
wltere “real” people get, up and
tell their troubles to the master
of ceremonies and the listening or
watching world and get a few hun
dred dollars in cash or merchandise
for their trouble. The ones I’d like
to see something done about are
those on the after-breakfast to be
fore-supper shift . . . The "acting”
people who act so silly trying to
act “real.”
However, I think it’s too late.
These things have become as es
sential as suds to the lady of the
house in getting her day’s chores
done. She simply can’t get the
dishes or the clothes washed un
less she can do it to the tune of
falling tears, divorce trials, and
lamentations for love lost through
a misunderstanding between a
sweet thing and the first cousin of
Tom’s other wife—the brilliant fe
male lawyer.
Some time ago, our little home
clock-radio wheezed a couple of
times, spluttered once and went
dead. I managed to postpone hav
ing it fixed for several days by ex
plaining to the little woman that
it was also our time-piece and
alarm (our only one) and since
that part of the gadget still func
tioned perfectly, we should wait
until I purchased an alarm clock
before having the radio fixed.
The stall worked fine for several
days until, overburdened by her
complaints that it took too much
of her time to call friends on the
phone to find out what was hap
pening on “her favorite programs.”
We lived close in the Stone Hill*
of the Dutch Fork.
^That came natural. Our folks
were of the thrifty German sort.
And the unyielding hills did not
give up their abundance easy.
So frugality prevailed.
We never thought of throwing
away a string. They were neatly
wound up like a plow-line and
kept in the drawer of the kitchen
table. Nor was a sack (paper or
burlap) ever thrown away. They
were neatly stacked away for fur
ther use, and there were not
many.
It was a mortal sin to burn
anything that could be eaten by
man, bird, or beast. That keeps
me until this day from throwing
an apple peeling in the fire. We’d
get up, go to the window, and
throw it out for pig, chicken, or
billy goat that was usually there
watching for such chance mor
sels.
And to leave food on your plate
was bad too. In fact, we just didn’t
do it. We were taught that early.
.If we took more than we could
eat, they told us “our eyes were
bigger than our stomachs.” And
we soon learned to judge the
portions just right. That to^ has
stuck to me, and I can still guage
it to a bite.
Shoes were always fixed, as
long as the uppers lasted. And
the seats of our pants were half-
soled as regularly as our shoes.
Dogs and cats must not have
to have meat or grease. For ours
Bible Comment.
Heritage of Liberty
Given to World
By Jewish People
'T'HE story is well known how
* Jacob and his great company
went down to Egypt and flour
ished under the power and pat
ronage of his illustrious brother,
Joseph.
But it is a story that cannot be
too well known.
Trouble began for these people
in that foreign land when there
arose “a pharoah, who knew not
Joseph." Racial and religious
prejudice, still rife in our own
supposedly enlightened environ
ment, soon wreaked its havoc on
the Jews.
Great works of ancient time
soon became symbols of injustice
and oppression. Forced to make
bricks without straw, the rem
nants of those who had come to
Egypt seeking food were cast into
bondage, suffering cruelly.
Later, a man, foster son of the
palace, renounced his foster
mother and his prospect of ease
and power to share the affliction
of his people. He led them out
of bondage toward freedom.
But it was, as we know, by no
means as simple as that. Hard
ships, discouragements, rebellious
spirits and yearning to turn back
marked the way until the free
dom of Canaan was won.
Gut of that unpleasant march
came what shines with especial
glory—the conception of liberty
enshrined in the ancient Jewish
Scriptures.
In a world marked with slav
ery, it is remarkable how the
Jews designed law’s and regula
tions to protect the community
against slavery and the individ
ual in his rights.
One cannot go into this fully
here, but one can point to the
land’s laws designed to prevent
serfdom. There was the law
which protected debtors from
becoming permanent slaves to
their creditor. There were the
Cities of Refuge where one who
had inadvertently injured an
other could go for safety.
The heritage of liberty that the
world owes to the Jews is im
mense. Unfortunately, the world
has never fully appreciated it.

IF YOU could step into a time
1 machine with a choice of three
Duttons, marked “yesterday.” “to
day” and "tomorrow.” which one
would you push?
That was a typical question asked
recently by Jack Sterling, show
business veteran and host of “Make
Up Your Mind” Like other
problems posed on the series, it
was submitted by a listener for
consideration by the program’s
four panelists After the panel
has had its turn at discussing each
problem, a professional psychol
ogist reviews the situation, point
ing up cause and effect but leaving
the listener to make up his own
mind
In this case, the psychologist
summed op thus: “To live in the
past is to admit a sentimental
nature; to live in the future may
be satisfying to an Idealist; to
choose the present may indicate
a certain contentment with life
and deep personal satisfaction
Most of us find our best achieve
ment in combining all three—learn
ing from the past, finding » goal
for our ambitions In the future
and getting the most we can of
the present.”

Prevent brass from tarnishing by
using a coat of clear lacquer on it
after thorough cleaning and polish
ing. Remove all traces of tarnish
then remove all polishing mate

Grease spots on wallpaper can
be removed with a professional
cleaner or a piece of flannel which
has been dipped in alcohol.
For whitening wooden stairs
which are Unfinished, scrub with
