PAGE SEVEN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1955 THE NEWBERRY SUN Made In Carolinas Exhibition Is Set r Thanksgiving Week Plans have been completed to hold the 1955 “Made In Carolinas" trade exhibition at Radio Center In Charlotte. The exhibition, to be held dur ing Thanksgiving week, will be devoted entirely to industries and Institutions located in North and South Carolina. Primarily, the “Made In Caro- linas" show is designed to ac quaint the public with the wide variety of products manufactured in the two states, and the many eervice institutions which have home offices here. '‘We believe this 'Made In Car- •dlinas’ show is long overdue," said Harry Dee Moore, director of Pub licity and Special Dvents for Rad io Center. “Much has been written about the industrial expansion of our Twin States," he said, “but little has been done to let the people actually see it for themselves, ex cept for isolated efforts by indiv idual manufacturers.’ The “Made In Carolinas" show will attempt to bring a sample of all the wares and services of the Carolinas under one roof. Even our smallest companies will have an opportunity to participate," he added. Display booths in the “Made In Carolinas" exhibition are available to every type of company which is engaged in acceptable enterprise and is located in the Carolinas. Detailed information may be ob tained from Radio Center, 3229 S. Boulevard, Charlotte, by sending the name of the inquiring company and its address. Camellia Season Now Approaching Now is the time of year when the well-known phrase, “If winter comes can spring be far behind,” should be paraphrased to “If sum mer comes can the camellia sea son be far behind.” While many may mourn the passing of the last “rose of sum mer” there are countless thous ands that look forward to the start of the parade of camellias. This champion of flowers, for merly known as the japonica, will again come into its own and lead the procession of beauty from September til March. The fame of the camellia has spread far and wide, and for good reason. The plant alone with its shiny green leaves and symetrical shape is more beautiful than most !of our broadleafed evergreens. In addition to its beauty as an evergreen shrub its beauty is fur ther enhanced by some of the most exquisite flowers known to man. Coming during the winter months when few, if any, other flowers are in bloom its beauty is further emphasized by the con trast with the rather colorless winter scene. This versatile plant lends itself to all types of landscaping, is most hardy, and contrary to general be lief, when properly planted thrives on a minimum amount of care. The bloom is not only beautiful on the plant but few if any flowers can match it when used as a cor sage, both for beauty and its abil ity to keep fresh looking over a long period of time. Used in ar rangement or just floated in a tray of water it has no peer. The camellia lovers come from all walks of life and the common j meeting ground i 8 the camellia! show. These shows are held thru- > out the south during the camellia season. It is difficult for one who has never seen a camellia show to understand the fascination of these shows. However, once one has attended a show he under stands, for the displayed beauty of literally thousands of blooms of hundreds of varieties and types is truly breath-taking. Attendance of 5000 or more at these shows is not uncommon and there have been shows where 15,- 000 or more have attended. What other flower or event can boast of a record like that? As, is to be expected, camellia lovers have bound themselves to gether in Camellia societies both local and state as well as national. The South Carolina Camellia So ciety will hold its fall meeting in Columbia on October 27 and all camellia lovers are invited to at tend. Watch your local paper for further information on this im portant meeting and make your plans to atetnd. m I Mii BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER SWEATER QUEENS . . . Penny Duncan of River Edge. N.

AMI mm I iMMP r >.&. s., m % j Although we lived in a verita ble wilderness of trees, wood for the open fire in the living room and stove in the kitchen was us ually scarce. Our dad was the country doctor, and was away so much he couldn’t see after wood. So that fell to my brother and me Most folks cut their year's wood supply in the winter off season. It was hauled up and stacked out back of the house at the wood- pile to dry for use- This was es pecially true of the stove - wood. For it was pine, and green pine just won’t burn. But we kids usually found ex cuses for^ not getting up an ade quate. supply. 'For the fireplace that wasn't so bad. JFor you can use a lot of green wood there, although some dry is needed to start and keep it going. But for stove wood; we of^en reached the critical stage And I’Ve often seen my mother drying green pine out on top of the stove until it looked chaired. I know she had a time trying to cook in a cold kitchen with green pine wood that just wouldn’t burn. She'd scrape ' up every dry splinter of wood could find and rake dry chips OP at the woodpile to boost it aloag with. In that extreme event, we cut some pine Into stove sise aw rack it up for fast drying. BOt winter sun is slow at that, and <Rht mother would sure get after WP for not haring cut enough thW < winter before to dry and laet through. But usually it was the samw old story again. At first, with *i* 1 axe, it was slow getting a year's supply cut by two youngster*. Then we eventually got a cross cut saw. That was a great im provement Then a neighbor got s gasoline engine and saw he haul ed around on his wagon. We cut a lot of poles wagon length, haul ed them to the house, and thert this outfit came and sawed them up. That was the most wood we' ever had. And' *ot it in such a short timer Splitting those blockh up into stove size was then M cinch. In fact, we liked to spBt them up. Our firewood was mostly greeto hardwoods. And we could make them burn with the rich light-' wood that stfll abounded from dead pine stumps in the stemr hills. But we couldn't use light- wood in the cook-stove It would soot the pots and pans up toe ’ much and make things taste Vkm tar So it was dry wood there, or no cooking.
