the beginning New Year that is
always characteristic Of holiday
parties in lower Montgomery County.
In Kenwood party Of special in
terest is the breakfast that Mr.. and
Mrs. John E. Mcclure have planned

Iris Gardens
Will Be Open

The Business woman's circle of
the Winter Park Presbyterian
church will sponsor silver tea
on Saturday afternoon from 4 until
. O'Clock at the home of Miss
Ruth Loman on Audubon avenue.
AT this time the lovely iris gardens
will be in full bloom and will be
open to the public.
Miss Loman's gardens are SPOT
OF beauty, which she began about
twenty years ago with four plants.
Later she added one package of
seeds, which she transplanted into
the garden. Since then she has
the garden only by trans
planting seedlings.
The flowers will be at the height
OF their beauty this weekend and
during the coming week. The wide
range of color in iris is suggested
by the name itself, Goddess of the
Rainbow, from the purest of
white, and gold brown, it ranges
down through those of regal
purple splendor.
The tea hours are to 8 p.m..
but Miss Loman will welcome
visitors to the garden all during
the following week while the
flowers are blooming.

ways available for soldiers dances
and socials.
Although Burgaw and Fender
County contributed. considerably
more than their quota to the Ma
tional USO Fund, the town did not
draw upon the parent organization
for funds to set up its own USO.
Townspeople dug down in their
pockets again and formed the Bur-
gaw Servicemen's Organization.
The towns community house was
turned over to the soldiers, equip
ped with a piano, suitable furni-
ture, ping pong tables juke boxes
and lunch bar. Members of the
American Legion Auxiliary and
other ladies of the town baked
cakes made sandwiches for Sum-
day afternoon luncheons.
Easily the most popular persp
with the GIs is Miss Matte Blood
worth, retired school teacher, town
historian and official "g-eeter."
She came to know them all and
was the 'iason" between the
townspeople and the Army. She ar
ranged the dances, socials, outings
and coached more than one bash
full romeo into meeting a young
lady who had won his admiration.
Mics Bloodworth has just finish
ed writing history of Fender
County. Its literary and education
al worth is at+ested to by the fact
that the State Department of Ed
ucation already has placed an adj
vance order for 100 copies. The
life of the town, how it was en-
.twined with that of the Army, is
faithfully chronicled in the final
chapter.
Several days ago. Miss Matte
as she is affectionally known-re-
ceived a letter from a soldiers
mother in New Jersey informing
her that he had been killed in Italy.
The greeving mother knew all
about Miss Matte. She thanked
her for her kindness to her son
who, she wrote, asked his mother
to be sure and notify Miss Matte
in case anything happened to him.
This is but one of the many in
stances rejecting the high regard
and fondness the AAA boys held
for Miss Matte.
The Fender Chronicle the "coun-
tvs home newspaper for AZ years"
in great measure aided in bring
ing the civilian and soldier popu-
lation closer together. Soldier
Army activities were given gener-
Gus and prominent display by its
editor, Mrs. Sudie P. Miller. More
than once, the papers 1ead'' story
concerned soldier functions. When
the 429th invited the townsfolk 20
worship with them at Christmas
Mass the story got headlines.
1t would not be far-fetched to
say that the Army boys. in one
war ar another, took the place of
the native sons that had gone
away.
A spirit of neighborliness flourish
ed between crews Of searchlight
and gun positions and farmers.

CAMP DAVIS, May 18-(SpeciaD
The little community of Burgaw,
N. c., will live forever in the men,
cries of thousands of antiaircraft
artillery men and the name OF
Burgaw is now known in many
parts of the world where they are
fighting. To them Burgaw was
their temporary home. To quite a
few others, the town will be their
haven after the war when they
return to the girls they met and
married in Burgaw and settle down
as permanent members of the COM
munity of their adoption.
A small typically southern agri-
cultural metropolis of about 1000
population, Burgaw was the hub Of
activity for Camp Davis bivou-
acking troops. 1t is the seat of
Fender County which sent more
than HOO of it's own sons and
daughters into military services.
Up to little more than year
ago the town seldom saw many
strangers. Even the produce. to-
bacco and cotton buyers from the
north had become more or less
familiar figures, fitting into proper
inches in the life of the town.
Then suddenly, hordes of steel
helmeted, bayonet-bristling soldi ars
rolled in on behomoth creations Of
war machinery engulfing the town
and the adjacent districts of
Watha, Wallace, Willard and Pen
derlea.
This overwhelming influx of the
military is not conducive to the
harmony and everyday peaceful
routine Of any municipality regard
less of its location, be it in the
North or the South. The quiet and
everyday easy-going of the town
was disrupted. Boisterouc and curl
Gus strangers crowded the stores,
the sidewalks and every street cor
nor. There was hardly room for
the natives. Southern hospitality
was put to the acid test and it was
not found lacking.
Burgaw adoped the soldiers.
There was no back-sla2ping hail
to the heroes" welcome. Girls did
not run out into the streets OPEN
armed with kisses for the boys.
Instead the town adjusted it's civic
gears with that of the military,
made allowances here, stretched a
point there, and lived together
amicably.
The Fender County Board of Ed
ucation offered the soldiers the
tree use of school gymnasium and
swimming pools in Atkinson, Long
Creek, Grady and Penderlea.
The Burgaw High School gym
naslum and auditorium were al
