By MRS. DOUGLAS YANCEY
Hello! Folks! I told you last
Monday that yhen I started this
column this week it would be
March—and so here it is now
March 4th.
February 28th ended our “Tal
ent Dollar” drive that the ladies
of Salem church had been in for
the past 30 days and as to the
results, we can report it was
one of the most successful drives
that Salem Church ladies have
ever undertaken. We are grate
ful both to the people who pat
j ronized the drive and also the
committee in charge is to be con
gratulated. Speaking of congra
i tulations makes me think to take
!a peep into the Salem commun
ity calendar this week and see
who will be having anniversar
ies and birthdays this month, as
this is my way of saying “Happy
Returns” to all who will be
celebrating this month and as I
take a peep into the calendar I
see that Nina Thompson, Jane
Chambers, Dot Foster, Harry
Curtis, Franklin Grey, Pete
Smith, Aaron Kemp, Martha
Chambers and Mrs. Montine Co
wan will all be celebrating birth
days this month. Our Salem
calendar doesn’t record Mrs.
, Hulda Kirkland’s birthday, hovC

brate her birthday and to her
also we send out special greet- i
ings-K-to each “Many Happy Re
turns of the Day."

WORDS WORTH rembering . . . .
Do you recall Anthony Trol
lope’s wonderful quotation,
"Book love, my friends, is your
pass to the greatest, the purest,
and the most perfect pleasure
that God has prepared for His
creatures. It lasts when all other
pleasures fade. It will support you
when all other recreations are
gone. It will last you until your
death. It will make your hours
pleasant to you as long as you
live.’’
Did you know
Confederate history is ade
quately treated in the UDC Mag
azine recently contributed to the
Library by the Covington Chapt
er UDC, Mrs. R. H. Patterson,

sketches and biographies perti
nent to famous Confederate
statesmen.
“Spinning Wheel” is the name
of another charming little maga
zine now coming to the*Library.

contains many illustrations.
Soon our card catalog will be
complete, listing by author, title
and subject every book in the
Library, including those coming
from parent library in Decatur.
“A world of knowledge is in
your hands USE YOUR PUBLIC

ON THE SHELVES
These are such beautiful,
springlike days we're having, and
Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee’s review of
Wilson's “The Joy of Flower Ar
ranging” is most appropriate for
this season.
Today the art of flower arange
ment in America interests more
people and has stimulated more
| various and far-flung activities
than ever before. There are books
devoted to arranging, study class
es, and exhibitions. A distinctive
j modern way with flowers has de
veloped, although taste has fluct
uated from decade to decade in
the twentieth century, and style
has varied from region to region.
Isn’t it time we enjoyed our ar
ranging as once we enjoyed just
“putting flowers in water”? I
j think so.
“The Joy of Flower Arranging’’
is based on two premises: that
arranging is a pleasure, not a
task, and that “one look is worth
a thousand tells.” The twelve
contributors to this book stress
; the joy of the effort as well as
' the satisfaction of the result. Their
accent is continously on happy
creative expression, each one de
[ monstrating her style in studies
which reflect the beauty of one
month in the year, in one section
of the country. Here is work of
flower quality, but “home style,’’
I the purpose of all concerned also
। being to bring arrangement back
from the exhibition hall, whence
it has strayed, to its original point
i of departure—the home.
Many influences appear in this
essentially original work, and each
contributor has worked tremend
ously hard on a very definite
assignment.
Lose your self in the pages of
this delightful book edited by
Helen Van Pelt Wilson, and not
only read it but take it to heart.
"The Joy of Flower Arrang
ing” is only one of the books on
Flower Arranging on the shelves
of the NEWTON COUNTY LIBR
ARY. COME IN AND ENJOY
THEM.

Georgia 4-H ers to Observe
National 4-H Club Week, Mar. 6-14
More than 131,000 Georgia 4-H |
Club members will join over;
two million others ‘throughout |
the United States in observing I
National 4-H Club Week. March |
6-14. . . V
They will review the history !
of their organization, take stock :
of past achievements, and make ;
plans for carrying out their
motto, “to make the best better,”
iv 1904. .
In Georgia. 1953 is being hail
ed as the best year in the his
tory of 4-H. Enrollment reached
pn all-time high of 131,385—an
increase of 4,458 over the 1952
membership.
Four-H members last, year wene
enrolled in 421,932 farming and
homemaking projects. They com
pleted 80 4 percent of them —
also a record. The value of 4-H
project work in ‘53 was estimat
ed at $15,000,000.
As membership and project
completions increased, the num
ber of local leadens—farmers
housewives, teachers, business
and civic leaders, and others
who assist county and home
demonstration agents with 4-H
Club work —increased from 12,266
in 1952 to 14,134 last year.
As 4-H’ers and their leaders
“tell the world’’ about their ac
complishments, Governor Her
man Talmadge has signed a pro
clamation calling attention to
National 4-H Club Week and
urging “all our people to sup
port and encourage the work
of this organization, that we may
have ‘Better Living for a Better
W'orld’.”
“Better Living for a Better
World" is the 1954 theme of 4-H
Club members.
The governor’s proclamation
also called attention to the State
4-H Club Center at Rock Eagle
Patk. It commended 4-H mem
b?rs for “working faithfully and
diligently to make the dream of
a 1,200-capacity State 4-H Club
Center become a reality—thus
providing invaluable training for
thousands of boys and girls who
heretofore could not be given
such training due to lack of
Facilities.”
Forestry Unit
Urges Citizens
so Be Alert
High winds, the traditional
“trademark” of the month of
March, might sene’ Newton Coun
ty's annual forest fire loss soar
ing within the next few weeks
unless citizens of this area take
the “greatest precautions” again
st fire in or near the woods.
Norris Woodward assist, rang
er for the Newton County Fores
try Unit, issued that warning this
week as he appealed to all New
ton County citizens to maintain
a special alert during the ex
tremely dangerous forest fire
weather which March often
brings.
“The members of your coun
try forestry unit,” the Ranger
declared, will do all in their
power to detect forest fires and
to put them out ar quickly as
possible. Unless we have the . üb
lic on our side, however — un
less special care is taken to pre
vent forest fires, we will be
fighting a losing battle.”
The Ranger pointed out that
one of the greatest forest fire
causes during the month of
March often consist of careless
brush and trash burners and
persons who burn oft fields pre
paratory to spring planting.
“Much forest fire damage
could be prevented,” he said,
“if farmers and landowners n
this area would first check with
their county forestry unit be
fore doing any burning. The law
also requires the farmer or land
owner to notify his adjoing land
owner 24 hours in advance of
burning. When the time comes
to burn, have nlenty of extra
help and fire fighting tools
handy in case the fire gets out of
hand. Pl w a firebreak around
the area to be burn d. Wait un
til after 4 p. m. to burn.

President Dwight D. Eisen
hower also has sent greetings
to the 4-H Clubs for their spe
cial week. Calling attention to
the 1954 theme, Mr. Eisenhower
said in a letter that “working
together has long been an im
portant feature of 4-H Club
work. As you learn new skills,
as you test new ideas, and as
you find better ways of apply
ing science to agriculture ar.d
to home* economics, you are shar
ing exciting and valuable ex
peiiences.”
The president wll be host to
six 4-H’ers —Une of them from
Georgia—during National 4-H
Week when 1953 leadership, cit
izenship and achievement win
ners visit the chief executive
and present him a copy of the
