Many Iris Growers
- To Offer Rhizomes
For Planting Here
. By LUCY WOODALL
NICHOLSON
Iris plantings under the auspices
of the Ladies Garden club is head
ed by Mrs. Pinkney Steiner, with
a large committee working with
her.
Working is a correct term as
already there have been more
than a thousand iris rhizomes
planted on the spacious grounds
pof the ecity hall--this is merely a
beginning, the chairman of the
committee reports. -
As soon as iris bloom, many
gardeners of the town have prom
ised ‘to give rhizomes for use in
the city—triangles, parkways, be
‘tween the street and sidewalk,
around public buildings.
Athens is to be more abloom
vmn iris—plantings on sidewalks
just outside and inside of bound
ary fences and hedges around
homes—iris for every passer-by to
see. An exchange committee with
Mrs. Ed Dorsey, jr., as chairman
has been appointed to facilitate
Yxatters pertaining to iris plant
ng. The planting of iris is to be
done early in the summer.
The committee if given the
proper support will plant many
iris in the «city. For if you desire
to plant iris where they will show
from the street, you will no doubt
separate some of your garden
elimps. As you will plant differ
ent colors and kinds—early bloom - |
®rs, medium and late, you will
perhaps find that you haven't
room for all the rhizomes you
have taken up and apart, Iris‘
certainly do multiply. So if you‘
want to contribute to the beauti- |
fying of Athens, drop Mrs. Dor
sey a card and she will eall by
for the iris you can spare for
city planting. These extra iris
you haven't room for will each
give blooming results in the city
wide iris project.
The idea the Garden c¢lub has in
mind is to get such quantities of
iris planted near the street, as
well as in the garden, that tour
ists merely passing through will
sée '®o many flowering iris that
they will associate iris with the
town, discerning the delightful
fact for themselves that Athens is
the Iris City of Georgia.

‘Trees and Flowers Burst Into Print;
Value of Real News Is Recognized by
Newspaper Women in All Parts of Ga.
'BY LUCY WOODALL NICHOLSON
| Mreeg and flowers are bursting
linto print since gardening has be-
Icome a nation-wide activity, for
| newspapers carry all the news the
| public want,
| During the past few weeks since
| blizzards hit the South, trees have
made the front page of even the big
state papers. On back pages have
been printed the most minute di
rections as to when and how to cut
the broken limbs of trees and
shrubs—even mention has been
made as to what kind of cover
sleeping flowerg like best on their
beds,
The importance of trees and
flowers in the news of the day is
remarked on by some of the news
paper women of the state,
From the Banner-Herald, Alice
Adame says: ‘‘Great interest in
flowers, shrubs, and trees is mani
fested by people in all walks or
life, These gifts of nature seem
to prove an incentive to the public
to make iife’s pathway more beau
tiful in the cultivation of them,
and as newspaper: aid in every
way to further the advancement of
all things worthwhile, trees and
flowers find a place in the news of
the day.”
From the Atlanta Georgian, Mil
dred Seydell writes the following:
I"'Newu, according to the dictionary
is a report of recent occurences.‘
Therefore, what is happening con-i
cerning flowers is legitimate news.
“A newspaper should mirror lite.!
The best news storieg are those
with the widest appeal. The clos
er g news item touches the reader’'s
life, usually the closer is its appeal,
And every man, woman and child
ig in some way interested in flow
ers—ll never remember meeting any
one who was not—even if his only
flower possession ig a potted prim- |
rose. Women talk gardens in the
stores, meecting on the 3streets, uLi
their parties; men talk gardens eat- ,
ing lunch down town, at their
clubs, on the golf links; children
are taught gardening in their
schools—naturally newg items about
flowers are eagerly read. I
“Personally 1 should like to see|
more space in publications of the |
news devoted to flowers. If the‘
presg could get the people thinking
about flowers rather than about
theft, murder, rape and underworld
activities there would be, 1 honestly
believe, less erime.”
“Flowers forcibly bring us civili
zed thoughts; nearer to God. When
1 was representing the Hearstl
crime commission, 1 heard a famed
judge, oted for his knowledge of
human nature say, ‘Trust the man
or woman who loves flowers'
“1, for one, plead for more news
columns filled with the report of
recent occurenceg in the flower
world.”
From the Atlanta Journal, Med
ora Field Perkerson procla:ms her
idea of the importance of trees and
flowers in the news of the day by
sending a whole page from a recent
number of the Journal Sunday
Magasgine, in which is an article
by her, “Tragedy of the Trees.”
She likens Atlanta to a battlefield,
after the onslaughts of the ele
mentg during the severe cold of
late December and early January;
tree surgeons were mobilized from |
all over the country who worked
with emergency crews amputating
the trees’ broken limbs, dressing
the wounds, clearing out debris and
making sanitary surroundingg for
Clarke County Consumers Council Will
Provide Data on Tests of Canned Goods
The Clarke County Consumer's
Council is starting what is hoped
Ko be a series of tests of canned
foods sold in Athens. These tests
are being conducted by the Home
liconomies Department of the Ag
ricultural College. Consumers, as
a rule, have little knowledge of
the grade of products which they
are buying, nor have they any
way of ascertaining the grade be
fore the purchase. Grade labels
as yet mean practically nothing,
nor does the price paid mean
very much. In many tests con
ducted over the country, some of
the foods grading the highest ac
cerding to government standards
sold at the cheapest prices, and |
vice-versa,
The first test being conducted
by the Home Economics Depart
ment is with canned peas as sold
in Athens. The Council secured
brands of peas most often sold in,
this city, and turned these over|
to the Home Economics Depart-}
-ment. All brand labels were re- |
'moved, and, numbers substituted. |
A class of twenty under the sup- |
lervision of a professor in Home|
Economics graded these articles |
laccording to government stund-l
lards. These standarsd, with the !
|units given to each factor are|
Ilisted below: :

'Economics Seminar
Hears Dr. Wheeler
\‘ By MARJORIE SHUMAN !
'\ Dr. J. T. Wheeler of the edu-|
cation department of the Univer- |
’ sity of Georgla spoke on the “Eco- :
{ nomic Aspect of Voeation” at a%
meeting of the Economics Semi-|
nar Friday afterfioon. I
“Vocations are social lnsmu-I
tions established to meet the
|| the injured sentinels. ’
| News was reported from differ
‘lent parts of the city by prominént
'{ business men and lovely ladies,
| while from Fort McPherson the
commanding officer, (a brigadier
' general,) a major general, a colo
» i nel likened the scenes around the
| fort to a battlefield after artillery
' | fire,
| “Trees have been the beauty of
.| Atlanta,” visitors, civilians, and
llmilnar,v men agree,
l‘ From Columbus News-Record,
| Effie May Burrus’ columns speak
"fnr' her. If all the noticeg of the
monthly meetings of the fourteen
Ilga‘rden clubs of Columbus, along
| with the interesting accounts of the
| meeting were pasted in a strip it
| would line many a mile. And if
all the news stories of trees and
Ifl()werg of the town were likewize
| pasted together, it is doubtful as
| to which would outstrip the other—
garden club news or garden news.
IThe space she gives is an indica
{tion as to how important she re
‘lgards trees and flowers in the day's
l‘news.
! ¥rom the Macon Telegraph and
!News, Susan Myrick expresses her
lopinlon: “Any intelligent editor is
alert concerning the attraction of
,vlsitorg to his town and the cam
| ellia show in Macon attracts many
| visitors, so camellias make even
‘me editorial page as well as the
jnews section.
l “The Telegraph has carried edi
| torials, too numerous to count,
about thg parks here with their
lovely shrubbery and beatiful roses.
‘Wie have sent reporters to Thom
asville for the rose show often and
have carried many columng about
it.
“Personally, I have done many
feature stories about flowers and
'trées for the Telegraph and the
News. Particularly do 1 recall tak
ing pictures and writing about Dr.
Lee’s azaleas, Mr., Porter's roael
garden and the new Bav(mfleldJ
Park shrubbery and flowers. ‘
) “Myriads of pictures were car
iriml when Atlanta lost so many Of
{ her fine trees in the recent sleetl
Ismrm. The Telegraph carried ple- |
‘tures of treeg broken by the recent
wind storm here,
“Jovery time a rural community
of Bibb county has a flower show
(there is one in each of four com
munities each yean) there is a specC
fal reporter assigned. The annual
city flower show attractg many
visitors and much writing and
many pictures here.
“rprees, flowers, gardens, flower
shows, window gardens, house

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our dear, lovingi
mother, Mrs. L. W. Holbert, who
left us December 11, 1935, 'and
went to the home she had pre
pared on high. We want to thank
the friends and neighbors for
their kindness and offerings dur-l
ing the sickness and death of our
mother. May God be with them
each and everyone and lead them
in the path of Jesus.
Oh, we know she went to Jesus,
as she told us she must go for
her Master had called and her
werk on earth was done. We can
not help but miss her, but we are
happy to know her sufferings here
is over, for we know she suffered

« Dear fridnds, we want to tell
yvou if upon your bed you lay so‘
sick and if you can pick from tl;g‘
others who pass by, your mother |
and her hand touches your hrow,\
you will think God is nighs You
can't really miss your mother un
til she is gone. A precidlls one
from us has gone. A voice wo{
loved is stilled. A place is vacant |
in our hearts and homes which |
never can be filled. : g
But dear friends we are 8o
happy just to know that we canl
go and meet her on that shore
where we will part no more, We
know she went to meet dear fath
er, who left us a few years ago.
We pray that we will meet them
when life's work on earth is o'er,
and, may God guide us as the
vears go and come. Oh, that
happy meeting when life’s work is
o'er, "

HEAVIEST SINCE
BOOM OF 1929
Wide Public Approval Is
Won by Seaboard’s De-
Luxe Passenger Service |
Taking railawy travel duringi
the month of January as a barom- |
eter, the year of 1936 will be b_v{
far the most active since 1929, |
Carefully compiled statistics show
a marked upward swing in travel,
both for business and pleasure.
These facts were made known in
an interview by an Athens Ban- |
rer-Herald reporter with C. T.f
Bell, passenger traffic manager |
for the Seaboard Air Line Rail-!
way, who declared that: i
“Passenger business of the Sea-‘
board Air Line Railway during
the month of January of this yeal"
was greater than in any other |
month of any yvear since the hoom{
days of 1929, |
“Business to and from Atlanta‘
showed an increase of 40 percent
over January of last year,” adding

Mr. Bell, who was in ‘Athons
enroute to his home in Norfolk,
also said that Florida travel on
the Seaboard from the east and
middle wess srows a substantial
gain and that this season more
people are going to Florida from
this immediate section than before
in years on the Seaboard’'s new
“Florida Sunbean)” which was
put into operation the first week
in January. :
“Railway travel is recognized a¢
an accurate prosperity barometer,”
said Mr. Bell. In addition to gen
erally improved conditions, he at
tributed the Seaboard Air Line
Railway’'s large increase, in pas-"
senger business largely to the
greatlys improved service provided
by the two deluxe trains between
Athens and New York-—the Rob
ert E. Lee and the Cotton States
Special. : %
“The publie is certainly show
ing appreciation of deluxe club'
and lounge ecars, air-conditioning
and other modern features,” Mr.’
Bell said. ‘““Then, too, the sched
ules of these two traing to Wash
ington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York make them popu-'
lar with business men.” ;
