Girl Reserves .
Entertain Boys

The early evening Of Friday,
Nov. "a. saw a group of older boys
from the Y.MC.A. being delight
fully entertained by the Girl Re-
serves OF the WV. A. The play
ing of some very social, yet intel
lectually stimulating games. broke
the ice between the two groups.
After some minutes Of genuine
fun. the meeting became an infor-
nal forum. Problems confronting
Negro youth. now and after the
war. were discussed from several
angles. At the discussions end,
tasty refreshments were served.
The boys thoroughly enjoyed
themselves. The girls, under the
personal supervision OF Mrs. Lane,
director OF all club activities in
the W.C.A.. were impeccable
hostesses.

Victory
Gardens
BY h. G. laina


In this climate cary sprips
gardening usually begins when
the golden-flowered Forsythia bush
is in bloom. Seeds are often plant
ed before that time, but usually lit
tie or no growth takes place until
the weather has become warm
enough to cause the Forsythia buds
TO open. This year. rsdish and
spinach planted the sth OF April In
Clifford sandy loan did not appear
above ground until April IS. Smooth
Alaska peas planted April had
not yet appeared on April %, but
did have roots one inch long. Dur
ing the warm spell OF weather that
causes the Forsythia TO bloom.
these early garden crops usually
require only about one week TO
terminate and send their cotyle-
dons above ground. Crops planted
before the Forsythia blooms may
be considered extra early.
Normally the Forsythia blooms
about April Is. In 1912, 1t doomed
during the first week in April, but
in 1943 not until the last week of
April. These were the earliest and
latest dates recorded for this event
since 1921. and hence 1912 and
l943 were the earliest and latest
gardening seasons, respectively.
during the past % years. Judg-
ing by the appearance OF the For
sythia buds on April %, the spring
of 1914 will compete with that of
l943 for late honors.
One advantage OF a late season
Is that the blossoms Of fruit trees
are retarded and thus escape late
frosts. However, this advantage
is sometimes overbalanced by GER
tain disadvantages. For example,
in 1913. although the blossoms were
favored by late opening. neverthe-
less it rained constantly through
out the blossoming period so that
bees were unable to fly and there
fore no cross pollinization took
place and, as a consequence, there
was a poor set of fruit on the
trees. In fact. some trees that
blossomed profusely had no fruit at
| all.
On the other hand, in 1912. al
though the blossoming period was
= , earliest in many years. never
theless the normally expected frost
hazard failed to appear. Also, the
weather was favorable for the
flight OF bees and they literally
filled the trees with their busy
humming. Seldom has such an
early blossoming period been fol
lowed by such luscious peaches AZ
were raised in this locality In
AZ. Whether or not the disaster
o. 1913 will be repeated in 1914,
remains to be seen, although 1t
seems unlikely.
Another thing for gardeners %
keep in mind in a late season such
as this one Is the fact that the
differences between early and
late seasons tend to become less
noticeable as summer approaches
so that in a late spring there are
less days available for finishing
the early gardening activities than
in normal year. In other words,
regardless Of when 1t begins. early
gardening usually ends rather
p. mptly and the wise gardener is
the one who does not fail to get
his early garden crops into the
ground well before the end OF the
| first week in May.

ALONG WITH the evaporation
Mallory felt over Tod Patrick's

not know how or when he had got
into the theater. During intermls-

Prism and Armando and the Mexi-
can stagehands. Sandy. naturally,
but no outsiders had been allowed
backstage. And afterward, when
she was giving encores and taking
bows, she had not noticed her man
sger.
But she was noticing him now.
She was glazing at him, putting her
curiosity into speech. where did
you come from? How did you get

here?"
He answered the last question
casually. Ages"

Prism had been waiting in the
wings when Mallory Baker made
her last bow, with glass of wa

her mink coat, which she had
placed over her shoulders. Mallory
now drew it closer about her over
heated body, guarding against
stray draughts.

The singer felt as II she were
