Dwarf Flowers are Best

for Front Yard Borders


"Edging," or "ribbon" plants
are in great demand among
home gardeners for planting
along the boundary of a flower
bed or border, to give it a trim
look, and add color to the com-
position.
Garden paths, can be planted
attractively with dwarf plants
which "stay-put" and can be re-
lied upon not to get in the way.
Sweet alyssum is deservedly
popular, for its snowy carpet of
fragrant blossoms. The dark pur-
ple alyssum Violet queen is
equally attractive, and white and
violet plants can be alternated,
with good effect.
Dwarf ageratums and lobelias
make bushy plants covered with
blue-lavender flowers which com-
bine with all other colors and
enhance their beauty. The Eng-
lish daisies (bellis perennis) are
double flowers of white, red and
pink borne on bushy 8-inch
plants. -
The dainty blue, rose and white
blooms of the Swan River daisy
are material for a beautiful bor-
der. The dwarf candytufts are
rivals of the alyssum for snowy


whiteness as well as giving
beautiful shades of lilac and car-
mine.
A tiny marigold, Tagetes sig-
nata prumila, bearing myriads of
brilliant orange flowers above

WHERE'iS CHAPTER 14? Judge
Frank Smathers, father of Senator
George Smathers, has written a
book. The judge las written for
publication before, but this prob-
ably is his most important piece

uscript is in the Senator's Wash-
ington office.. where several pub-
lishers are dickering for its pur-
chase. The judge is expected to
i'ead.the riot act to his boy when,
he finds that chapter 14 is. missing.
Maybe son George didn't lose it
himself, but chapter 14 sure isn't

THE LOW DOWN
----- from -----

WILLIS SWAMP
I-
Just why New York state with
its reputation for astuteness, so-
phistication, up-todateness' would
at this late date be trying to jimmy
itself into the kilowatt business,
kinda shows maybe that it might
be slipping. Across the land from
Puget Sound and Oregon to Idaho
and Texas and Tennessee, he who
looks can see no blossoming of
any new green bay trees. New York
should be able to look away that
far and see that nothing in those
far flung, places has happened-
due to Govt. or municipal power-
that would not have been better
had private power shouldered the
load. Taxes and taxes follow, at
once, when socialism blocks Mr.
John Citizen's initiative and en-
thusiasm.
I am inclined to deduct that it
is not the people of New York state
that are yearning for a crack at
the kilowatt business. I think the
clamor is due to a defect in the
governor's stethoscope. What he
hears is maybe discontent with his
methods versus an urge to branch
out. He might well get his instru-'
ment re-tuned.
There is no more reason or gump-
tion connected- with. State-mad'e-
power than there is for putting the
State to making cigars or night-
shirts or pitch forks or smoked
salami. The 48 states -have plenty
to keep 'em busy without'tinkering
with the electric wires and be
knocked into a cocked hat, and
the grasp of still another tax col-
lector. The end.
Yours with the low dpwn,

VICTORY
By REV. J. C. ODUM
We approach the Easter season with .glad-
ness of-heart because of the hope that is ours
as Christians. Our hope is in the living and
ruling Christ who said, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life". The freedom that passes human
understanding belongs to the Christian. An
unbeliever may question, "What is this freedom
of the believer?" It is the freedom that is ours
because, of our "in-Christ" relationship. Jesus
said, "You shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free If the Son therefore
shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
(-John 8:32 and 36).
Through Christ, the Christian knows why
and, for whom. he is living. This knowledge is
the key to everlasting life. Again Jesus affirmed,
"I am the resurrection, and the life; he that be-
lieveth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he
live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me
shall never die." (John 11:25-26). The eternal
victory of the Christian is ours because of what
Christ is and because of what Christ has done,
not because of what we have attained through
our own merit. Today He lives through his
Holy Spirit in the hearts of all who believe on
Him.- Herein is our triumphafit joy. Not in
one 'that. is without life and knowledge. Our
Saviour is alive. He is at the right hand of the
throne of God ever living to make intercession
even for the vilest of sinners who will come to
him for forgiveness.
A Missionary in a foreign country wished
to teach a group of the native people the truth
of the resurrection of Christ. He said, "I am
traveling and have reached a place where the

road branches off in two ways; I look for a
guide and find two men, one dead and the
other alive. Which of the two must I ask for
direction, the dead or the living?" "Oh, the liv-
ing" said a native. "Then," said the Missionary,
"Why ask me to worship your idol which is a
dead god, instead of the Christ who is alive."
The story has been told of a group of musi-
cians who were participating in the final re-
hearsal of the production "Messiah". The
director was an old Christian gentleman and he
was anxiously watching every note. The cho-
rus sang to the point where the soprano solo
takes up the refrain. "I know that my Redeemer
liveth". The soloist rendered her part perfectly
-so it seemed to the chorus. Her breathing,
her notes, her enunciation was beyond criticism.
Surely the director would be pleased. But, alas,
he was not. Silencing the orchestra he walked
up to the singer, "My daughter", he began in
a sad tone, "You do not know that your Redeem-
er lives, do you?" "Why yes, I think I do"& she
answered. "Then sing it. Tell it to me so I
shall know that you know. Sing it so all that
hear you shall know that you know the joy
and power of that great truth." The old director
raised his baton for the orchestra to play again,
and the singer repeated the refrain. But this
time she sang out of her own deep Christian
experience, and those who heard her wept.


When she finished the
preached her. His eyes


old master again ap-
had tears. "Daughter


you do know, for you have told me."
The greatest question before all mankind
at this Easter season is-Do you know the Risen
Christ as your personal Saviour? If so, then
Easter means everything to you. If you do not
know him in your heart, then Easter affords no
victory for you.


Most of us are like children at a puppet
show. If the show is good they laugh with
glee. It never occurs to them to think what a
skillful operator it must take to pull the strings
soeffectively. The puppets-not the operator-
get the applause. When we grown-ups, who
are supposed to be wiser than children, see a
man doing a 'wonderful, job with his life'we
praise him. Since were grown-ups-and know
the truth-ought not we to remember-and be
a little grateful-to the operator behind the cur-
tain?

by the Site 'Selection Commission.
According to Harold Colee, exec
utive vice president of the State
Chamber, the requirement for "a
four seasonal climate without ex-
tremes of heat or cold", by n.)
means eliminates Florida locations
despite ihe relatively slight var-
iation between winter and summer
temperatures. However, the speci-
fication of 15.000 acres, he said,
may cull out from considerationr.

several communities vWhose avail-
abole acreage is inadequate to this
demand.
A number of Florida areas can
meet abundantly the factor of na-
tural beauty of the site and sur-
rounding country, which is speci-
fied to match the "national monu-
ment" characteristics of West Point
and Annapolis, Colee said.
Other factors to be weighed by
the commission are such commun-
ity aspects as nearby educational
institutions, religious, cultural, and
recreational facilities, as well as
adequate visitor accommodations.
"In these respects", the State
Chamber executive declared, "Flor-
ida facilities are not matched any-
where in the Nation."
The water supply needed for the
academy is estimated at 3,000,000
gallons per day, according to the
list issued by the defense depart-
ment, which might place a strain
on pumping facilities of any small
community, but which in Colee's
opinion, can be met by expanding
present facilities. Large cities
couid- readily supply this demand,
he said.
Adequate utilities, transportation
lines, highway systems and access
roads, nientioned in the list, would
present no problems here, Colee
concluded, nor would engineering
and construction costs. Flying train-
ing, the defense department bulle-
tin notes. This, he said, might elim-
inate congested air centers where
either commercial or military air-
craft crowd the airlines.
"If Florida has a fair and equal
chance", Colee declared, "we will
leave no stone unturned to make
a ,strong. bid for consideration of
a site in. this most favored State"-
He commended highly the united
efforts of Florida senators and con-
gressmen for their efforts to this
end. -
Chairman of the Chamber's, avia-
tion division, coordinating the in-
terests of Florida communities
seeking the academy, is Ed R.
Bentley of Lakeland. Air Academy
sub-committee chairman is Ed Nil-
son, director of aviation for tiL
City of Orlando.
Communities submitting propos-
als to the site selection commission
ha'e been asked to notify the State
Chamber promptly in the event in-
spection visits can 'be arranged.

Elmer?,


(Or Fables and Facts About Advertising)


Once




.








whose husband, Elmer, was a traveling
salesman.
Elmer was a very good salesman. He
sold from door-to-door in city after city.
And he was a very hard worker. In fact
his boss used to say "Elmer, you're the
best salesman I've got!"
So, as you'd expect, Elmer made a com-
fortable living for himself and his wife.
But he had only two feet and could make
only so many calls a day-which meant,
of course, there was a very definite limit
on how much he could earn.
Then, one day, Elmer's boss decided to
use advertising to get more sales. When
Elmer told that to his wife, she burst out
crying!
"Whatever will we do now," she said.
"With advertising, your firm won't need
you anymore, to go from door-to-door.
You'll be out:of a -job: and-we'll go to the
poor-housetfor sure!"
But, of course, that didn't happen.
Where's Elmer now? Why, bless your
heart, he's sales manager of his territory.
and instead, of calling on individual
homes, he and his saelsmenr call on stores!
But that's only part of the story of how
advertising helps make jobs not only for
salesmen, like Elmer, but for lots of other
people.


because a

here fac-ts
there




First, by increasing the demand for
goods,: advertising helps increase the
number of jobs for people wh make those
goods.
Next, because a factory needs more
machinery to produce more goods-ad-
vertising helps make extra jobs for the
folks who build the extra production
machinery,
Then, of course, more sales (created by
advertising, don't forget!) mean more
jobs for people in stores more obs
for people engaged in trasprtation .
more jobs for people who supply raw
materials-all the way back from the
S factory-to forest, mine, farm and labo-
; ratoryl
Why it's simply wonderful-when you
think of it-how advertising helps create
more and more jobs. And to think El-
mer's wife was worried that advertising
would kill' his job!
And, on top of it all, advertising helps.
increase competition among manufactur-
ers. Each wants to tell you (in his ad-
vertising!) how good his product is. And
that's fine for you, because he's got to
be able to back up his advertising story
or he'll soon be out of business!
And that means more jobs for inventors
-and all the other smart people who are
always dreaming up wonderful new pro-
ducts and improvements.
How's the wife, Elmer?
