TOUR
GEORGIA
THOMASVILLE (PEN) -
What began half a century ago
as a modest department store
display of roses has blossomed
into a major annual event in the
south Georgia city of
Thomasville. The “City of
Roses” will celebrate its 51st
Rose Festival April 26-30,
with festivities which rival its
thousands of blossoms in color
and excitement.
The planned week of
activities includes one of the
top flower shows in the
country, the Rose Parade with
30 elaborate floats and 50
marching bands, the Rose
Queen beauty pageant, and
daily tours of Thomasville’s
historic plantations. Festival
visitors are also invited to the
grand opening of the Federal
Regional Center, a new Civil
Defense underground
communications facility.
Thomasville obviously
takes pride in its special
identity as a garden city. In
addition to the thousands of
rose bushes planted around
homes, churches and
businesses, the municipal
government maintains over
25,000 rose bushes in parks
and along city streets. Last
year, ’’5,000 visitors came to
see the city’s famed
guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Ellis.
Friends regret to learn that
Mr. Rawlin Wendell Pope
passed away at Manatee Hos
pital in Bradenton, Fla., April
3. Mrs, James E. Brown,
Mrs. Rita Pope Ryals of Mt.
Vernon, and Mrs. T. Mcßae

Pope, attended the funeral.

and children Bill, Nancy and
Suzanne of Pink Hill, N.C.,
visited Mr. and Mrs. John
McArthur during the Easter
holidays.
Mrs. Kate McDaniel visited

28, beginning at 10:30 a.m.
Afternoon activities are
devoted to the Rose Show at
Southwestern State Hospital
and the grand opening of the
Federal Regional Center,
followed by an evening band
concert.
Tours of the area’s
history-rich plantations will be
offered four times daily in
large touring buses during the
entire Festival. In addition,
the vintage Lapham-Patterson
House, presently undergoing
restoration under the direction
of the Georgia Historical
Commission and the Thomas
County Museum will be open
to guests.
Visitors should also take
note of Thomasville’s most
famous landmark -a gigantic
live oak tree which has been
growing here since 1697,
according to local legend. It is
70 feet high, with a limb
spread of 160 feet and a
23-foot trunk.

NEEDLEMAGIC
by Marion Nichols
HELPFUL HINTS FOR
THEBEGINNING
NEEDLEWOMAN
Starting to embroider
We will assume that you are
in possession of an embroidery
kit and the additional equipment
you need, an embroidery frame
(hoop), scissors and a thimble.
PICK A SPOT-a comfort
able chair, with good over-the
shoulder light and a table close
by for your supplies. If your kit
came in a box or a reusable plas
tic bag, open it carefully and re
move everything. Check the
listed contents to make sure all
the parts are there. If anything is
missing, now is the time to do
something about it. All reputable
manufacturers will replace miss
ing parts.
ARRANGE THE YARN:
Usually a color key will designate
by a letter or number each shade
and color. If your kit contains a
YARN ARRANGER, separate
the threads and place them in the
slots provided. If you do not have
a yarn arranger, take a piece of
heavy cardboard (back of a tab
let or a shirt cardboard will do),
and snip 14 inch slots on two
opposing sides, about 14 inch
apart. Slip the yarn into these
slots and lable them - it will save
you a lot of time later and will
keep your yarn neat and orderly.
PROTECT EDGES: This step
is optional but we recommend it
for many fabrics. The raw edges
of the fabric have a tendency to
ravel with repeated handling. If
you have a sewing machine, run
a long stitch all around the edge.
If you are lucky enough to have
a zig-zag machine, this is even
better. Or you can whip the edges
by hand using a simple overcast
stitch.
READ THE INSTRUC
TIONS: Usually the instructions
will tell you where to begin to
embroider. If not, a good rule to
follow is to do the middle por-

tions first and work out to the
edges. Place your hoop over the
section to be done (smaller circle
goes under the fabric and larger
fits over it and the fabric — keep
it drum tight). Select the color
designated, separate it if the di
rections say to do so, and thread
your needle.
THREADING THE
NEEDLE: if you have never
threaded yarn through a needle,
it may be a little tricky at first.
If you keep in mind that the
needle must be pushed down on
supported yarn it will help. Take
one end of the yarn in your left
hand and hold it between your
thumb and your forefinger with
about 14 an inch sticking up.
Place the eye of the needle
against your left thumb over the
yarn and with your left index
finger, fold the yarn down so that
it is doubled over the eye of the
needle. Still grasping the doubled
thread tightly, pull the needle up
a little so that just the edge of the
fold of yarn is peeking out be
tween your fingers and withdraw
the needle. You will feel as if
you were pinching salt between
your fingers. Now push the eye
of the needle down on the fold
of yarn using a sawing motion if
necessary, and a little bit of yarn
will come through. Release your
left fingers and pull the yarn
through the eye, about 3 4 of the
length of the yarn. Tie a tiny
knot in the long end and bring
the needle up to begin the first
stitch. Later on you will learn to
weave the ends in rather than
knotting. Place your thimble on
the middle finger of your sewing
hand and away we go!

The Farmer
The surface of the earth
is particularly within the care
of the farmer. He keeps it
for his own sustenance and
gain, but his gain is also
the gain of all the rest of us.
At the best, he accumulates
little to himself.
The successful farmer is
the one who produces more,
than he needs for his support;
and the overplus he does not
keep; and, moreover, his own
needs are easily satisfied.
It is of the utmost conse
quence that the man next to
the earth shall lead a fair
and simple life; for in riotous
living lie might halt many
good supplies that now go to
his fellows.
It is a public duty so to
train the farmer that he shall
appreciate his guardianship.
He is engaged in a quasi
public business. He really
does not even own his land,

Who Are You?
Do you like yourself? That
might seem like such a silly
question that you rarely ask
it of yourself. But how you
feel about yourself is reflect
ed in your looks.
You may be surprised to
find that the “real you” is a
mixture of personalities. (In
fact, I think this unpredicta
bility is what being a woman
is all about!) So think before
you select your wardrobe and
your make-up. Both should
vary to suit your varied
moods. Ex
amples: if
you’re free
spirited
and ind e
pendent, or
at least in
the mood to
be, choose a
flaming red
dress with
matching stockings and ankle
wedgies. Or, if you’re feeling
a need to be protected, let
him know by your dreamy,
turn-of-the-century velvet
dress, definitely long and
feminine.
Then think about the im
pression your make-up
makes. A bright, bold face is
out-going, aggressive, ana
beautifully sets off that great
red dress. Use a good blusher,
and add some daring with
wispy eyelashes. But for a
look that’s more demure,
more natural than sophisti
cated, remember that letting
those freckles shine through
doesn’t mean forgetting the
wonders of delicate face pow
ders and smoky eye shadings.
Natural still calls for lots of
skin and make-up care.
The way you look says a
great deal about the way you
feel. But have fun. That’s the
best part of beauty experi
menting!
He does not take his land
with him, but only the per
sonal development that he
gains from it.
He cannot annihilate his
land, as another might des
troy all his belongings. He is
God’s partner, the repre
sentative of society to guard
and to subdue the surface of
the earth. He must exercise
his dominion with due regard
to all these obligations. He
is a trustee.
The productiveness of the
earth must increase from
generation to generation: this
also is his obligation. He must
handle all his materials, re
membering man and remem
bering God.
“And other seeds fell upon
good ground, and yielded fruit,
some thirty fold, some sixty
fold, and some a hundred
fold.”
God bless you now
