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.

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.
