Growing Roses
By The
Greater Atlanta Rose Society
Where gardening is con
cerned, practically all spe
cialists are related. Regard
less of the particular garden
ing specialty practiced,
many of the techniques used
by one may be applied in
other specialties as well. It
is often necessary, of course,
to seek methods especially
suited to successfully grow a
particular plant species such
as the rose, but the basic
principles remain the same,
generally speaking.
Starting with this concept,
the Greater Atlanta Rose So
ciety will present this col
umn as a regular feature in
order to attract all garden
crs to Rose Growing.
SOIL PREPARATION
The cold winter months,
normally considered to be a
period of little gardening
activity, is the time to pre
pare rose beds for a success
ful summer of rose growing.
In the Atlanta area, most
rosarians recommend plant
ing new roses during the
late winter or early spring,
which means that now is the
time to carefully prepare the
soil for roses. Most soil in
the Atlanta area requires re
building to a depth of 18 to
24 inches. The following
steps will accomplish this:
1. Spread 4 inches of ma
-7 Warning Signs of Cancer,
growing out of studies show
ing that too many people
still do not know the danger
signals. One sampling last
year showed only 69 per cent
of the people know even one
danger signal. In 1955 it was
60 per cent.
“When people are alert to
these signals of possible can
cer, they go to their doctors
earlier, and we have made
only a nine per cent gain in
11 years,” Heald reported.
“Every volunteer—and we
need workers in every coun
ty in Georgia—will have a
sticker copy of the 7 Warn
ing Signals of Cancer to
leave with each family to be
placed in a conspicous place
in the home,” the 1967
Chairman said.

Faith Os Our Fathers
A Catholic Priest Ponders Religious Persecution in England
Father Frederick William Faber was
rcared a Protestant, but followed his Ox
ford classmate, John Henry Newman, to
the Catholic faith. In his adopted church
Faber missed the hymns of Wesley, Watts
and Cowper. So he determined to write
some of his own. He didn’t know one note
from another, and he began by memorizing
14 tunes and writing words to them. In
all he was to write 150. In 1849, at age 35.
Faber was sent to London to convert an
old whisky shop into an oratory for a group
of fellow priests. In his spare time he wrote
hymns and reviewed the religious history
of England.
It had been 300 years since slovern
Henry VIII had known no limit of de
bauchery. After 18 years of marriage to
his dead brother’s wife, Catherine, the fat
monarch fell for Anne Boleyn, the queen’s
maid of honor. But Anne told the king to
hands off unless he mecant to marry her.
Faith of our father! Mary's prayers
Shall win our country back to Thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
England shall then indeed be free.
Edited for use by other denominations, Faber's
hymn reads:
Faith of our fathers! living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear that glorious word.

“Serving the Fastest-Growing Area in Georgia—
Clayton, Henry and Fayette Counties”
So he meant to marry her. But for a king
to divorce his queen and marry her maid
wasn’t as casy as that. Among others, the
Pope thought it wasn’t proper.
Henry met the situation by denouncing
the Roman Church and gaining control of
the Church of England. Opponents were
escorted by the hundreds to the gallows,
the stake and the chop block. Among the
loval Catholics sentenced to the gallows
was Statesman and Author Sir Thomas
More. But the king benevolently com
muted the sentence tq the ax and the chan
cellor walked to the block as lightly as if
woing to a picnic. Monarch of both state
and church, Henry married Anne, tired of
her and had her hanged. In all, he married
six times before he rotted to death at S 6.
It was the memory of the Catholic mar
tyrs, especially Sir Thomas More, that was
frosh in Father Faber’s mind when he wrote
for one of the tunes he had memorized:
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
How sweet would be their children’s fate,
If they, like them, could die for thee!
Faith of our fathers! we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife;
And preach Thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death!
