Relays

THE 1941 Newark Relays
are over, and in their sec
vand season proved more
successful even than the
inaugural last year. Mem
bers of the Newark Relay
association and all those
who contributed so gener-
ously, both in time and
money, are to be highly
commended for their eff
forts in making it possible
to bring this annual athle-
>tic event to Newark. To
successfully stage a relay a
tremendous amount of pre-
paratory work is necessary,
as we'll as supervision and
attention to detail during
the many contests to insure
that everything moves
smoothly and according to
schedule. In this regard
the officials in charge cer-
tainly did a fine job, and
there is no doubt but what
next years event will be
bigger and better than
ever.

Garden Club
Distributes Tulips
To Newark Churches

Last summer the Newark
Garden Club removed $4,000
tulip bulbs from the court
house yard, and transplant
ed them to the grounds of
the Licking County Infirm-
ary on Lancaster road. The
change was made because
the shady condition of the
flower beds did not permit
proper growth.
This spring the bulbs
flourished in their new hab-
itat and bloomed forth in all
their glory and as a result
many churches in the city
were beautified Sunday by
the presence of the flowers
distributed by the club.
1t is the plan of the Gar
den club to pick out the
choicest bulbs and replant
them in locations on the
courthouse lawn more con-
ducive to growth.

Mother

SUNDAY, May 18th is
Mothers Day.
Too often we look upon
Mother as our last and
feeblest resource! We go
to Her because we have no
where else to go. And then
we learn that the storms of
life have driven us, not up
on the rocks, but into the
desired haven.
Mothers Day is not only
a time to revere the mem
ory of those departed =
sacred as those memories
are. It is also a day devot-
ed to the Mothers who are
alive-the old Mothers, the
young Mothers. 1t is a day
that these beloved persons
everywhere, should be hon
ored and remembered.
