C. Norwood Hastie Jr. spokes man for the trio of showplaces, reported that azaleas, relatively late bloomers, were undamaged, and that only already opened camellia buds show effect of the wintry spell. Ensuing warm weather, with temperatures in the high 60s and 70s, will speed the blos soming, and all three gardens, Magnolia, Middleton Place and Cypress, soon will offer the colorful display that has made them noted throughout the world. Magnolia Gardens lie off Highway 61 along the banks of the Ashley river. The property, under extensive cultivation for more than two centuries, is be lieved to have the greatest var iety of camellias known to bot anists. Their exquisite blooms, mingled in banks of stunning azaleas, each year attract vis itors from over this country and foreign lands. Only a little farther from Charleston along the scenic highway to Summerville is Middleton Place, which pre dates the Ajmerican Revolu tion. This is considered the most splendid formal garden on this continent and has- been com pared favorably with the most noted landscaping of England and Europe. It is open to the public throughout the year. Cypress Gardens, acquired by the city in 1963 as a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Kittredge Jr., has been main tained in the state of beauty which, over the years, has at tracted thousands of sight seers. The ebony waters of its lakes, from which moss-laden trees rise, are bordered by masses of azaleas and other colorful spring foliage. A maze of paths lead to clusters of handsome camellias. Cypress Gardens are situated off Highway 52, within easy driving distance of the city. On and after February 15, Charleston’s Famous Gardens will be open from 8 a.m. to sun- se.t. Sheeley rites held Saturday Ernest W. “Bub” Sheeley, 54, died suddenly Thursday night at the Newberry County Me morial Hospital. Mr. Sheeley was born in Co lumbia, the son of the late Ernest S. and Pauline Lever Sheeley. He made his home in Pomaria for over 30 years be fore moving to Newberry. He had been employed as sales man for Thomas and Howard Company in Newberry for the past twenty-eight years. He was a veteran of World War II. He was a member and coun cilman of Pomaria Lutheran Church; was a member of Am ity Lodge No. 87 A.F.M.; and a former member of the Ex change Club. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Marie Wiggers Sheeley; two sons, Donald R. Sheeley, of Hartsville and E. Edward Sheeley of Newberry and Au burn, Alabama; two brothers, Johnny Ray Sheeley of Po maria and C. Hugh Sheeley of Columbia; one sister, Mrs. Ber nard (Doris Gene) Wiggers of Pomaria; and one grand child. Funeral services were con ducted at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Pomaria Lutheran Church by the Rev.

(Sunphoto) Consultant for Kendall to give program “Baby clothes certainly have changed a lot in recent years,” says Mrs. Trudi Paco, Curity Consultant, who is conducting a special luncheon meeting with the Jaycee-ettes and the two Mothers Clubs of Newberry on Wednesday of next week. Mrs. Billy Senn is president of the Jaycee-Ettes and Mrs. Neild Gordon and Mrs. C. S. Folk lead the Mothers Clubs. Mrs. Pace will also be at Belk-Beard Company on Tues day, March 1 and on Wednes day morning, March 2. A delightful program is plan ned for the luncheon meeting which will include the showing of a color film, produced by the Kendall Company, e n t i t le d “Rub-A-Dub-Dub”. It is all about how to bathe a newborn baby with hints about how dad can be helpful, too. Then Mrs. Pace will have an informal dis cussion and demonstration of the latest method of diapering baby and caring for infant it ems. Questions from the aud ience will be welcomed. A confidently motherly per son, Mrs. Pace has been giving helpful advice to mothers for almost twenty years. In fact, it was her own experience as mother of a baby daughter that first crystalized her ambition to share her knowledge with others. Her very first job in her home town, Shreveport, Louis iana, was with an infants spec ialty shop, where her enthus iasm and good sense brought in a host of interested customers. Soon she was offered a job at a large department store in the same city where she was “at home” to mothers and all fam ily members concerned with ba by’s welfare. A brief stint as buyer for lingerie convinced her that her first and only love was in the infants wear field, and so she welcomed the opportunity 'to be a Consultant for The Kendall Company. “The big difference I have found in talking with mothers through the years is that now adays they really want to know more and better ways to take care of their babies,” says Mrs. Pace. “More information is now available to Young mothers, in magazines and newspapers, so when they hear about some thing “new” they really want to know all about it rather than to just rely exclusively on time-tried methods from yester year. “Then, too, even Grandmoth ers are intrigued with the changes in the field of infant care and they are especially amazed with the great variety of diapers from which to choose. They want to know about the gauze ones, the pre folded and stretch, and those that are shaped after washing, the special night diapers and even the fancy dress-up diap ers. They are especially curious to learn how the latest version, Curity prefolded stretch diap ers fit on the baby. “And all mothers,” she said, “fall in love with the new baby knits. They are especially be guiled by the cuteness and con venience of the stretch terry or nylon stretch garments— they save so much time in the laundry and keep babies looking their best with very little care. “Ladies in waiting”, Mrs. Pace says, “and very new mo thers come to me with basic questions of how to hold, bathe, feed the baby, and ,how to make the crib or bed with the minimum of time and fuss. All mothers are interested to have help in selecting a baby ward robe that will be economical, yet attractive and well balanc ed between essentials and dress- up clothes.” Mrs. Pace, a lifetime member of the Serbo Chapter of Ameri can Business Women, an orga nization devoted to helping girls in Business, headed a pro ject which sponsored a deserv ing young lady with a four-year scholarship to college. There is one definite impression that usually results from talking with Mrs. Pace . . . it’s obvious she truly “likes people” and en joys helping them. It’s no mys tery why Trudi Pace has chosen Consultation work in the im portant area of Infant Cate.
