Lester, a natic..ally accredited flower show judge, gave a lecture on “Japanese Flower Arranging” at the quarterly meeting of the Newberry Civic League at the Community Hall March 26. Mrs. J. E. Wiseman Sr., pres ident, called the meeting to or der and welcomed the guests. Mrs. Richard L. Baker, first vice president, read the club collect. Prof. F. Scott Elliott Sr., program chairman and third vice president, introduced the guest speaker, who resides wuth her husband and daugh ter in Columbia. Mrs. Lester began by tracing some of the early history of Japanese flower arranging and said that about thefifth or sixth century A.D. Japanese envoys were sent toChina to learn Chinese culture and bring the results to Japan. As a consequence, gardens were planted on each side of the Japanese temple of Buddha. The floral arrangements repre sented past, present, and fu ture in their flower symbols. From this time on, every thing used in Japanese floral arrangements became of great symbolic importance in pre senting a message or legend. Japanese flower arranging is based on tricoma or the trian gle. The triangle is the flame signal and will destroy all thaf is impure. The triangle repre sents heaven, man and earth, the main ideas in the Buddhist religion. The speaker presented var ious Japanese flower arrange ments to demonstrate the sym bolic meaning of the compon ents of the arrangements. Some arrangements which she analy zed or interpreted for the group w r ere as follows: thestatue of Buddha arrangement, the lotus flower, a boat scene, a bamboo scene, a new baby grouping, the betrothal, a lover’s argu ment and one for a person who is ill. She interspersed all of her remarks on the different ar rangements with sidelights on Japanese philosophy associated wdth all plant life, and she showed that every part had a meaning and carried a mes sage. One of the most interest ing of her created arrange ments y.t.s entitled “A Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.” She said that red and purple and variegated colors are for men. A young pine represents a young man, and an old pine represents an old man. The lotus is the emblem of the Bud dhist religion and represents the whole span of human life. At the conclusion of her talk, all Civic League members, guests, and friends were in vited to enjoy a social period at a beautifully appointed tea table. Mrs. W. Roy Anderson, Mrs. Hart Jordon and Mr^» Hugh Foster served punch, sandwiches, cheese wafers and cookie bars to those present. HOW YOU LIVIN’? Well, the government has come out with a report which says in effect that if you and your family of four aren’t spending at least $9,000 a year, you’re not living moder ately -well. The report doesn’t say what you should be MAK ING to live moderately well. It just says what you should be SPENDING. But since it’s a government report, you have to conclude that the folks who pre pared it expect you to follow your government’s example and spend more than you take in.— York (Neb.) News-Times.
