At least one member OF
Dame Natures colorful family
has met it's comeupance at the
hands of the florists. The flow
er growers, it seems, have slip
ped one over on the ladies of
the Carduaceae = chrysanthe-
NUNS, to you.
It appears that several types
of pompon NUNS, those dainty
button and daisy-like blossoms,
would naturally hold off
blooming until Thanksgiving,
but the growers have tricked
the same varieties into flower
ing for Sweetest Day, October
IGNORE than a month ahead
of the horticultural calendar.

complement our roses, carna-
tions, orchids and gardenias in
remembrances for Sweetest
Day." stated a spokesman for
the Allied Florists Association,
as he lifted the veil on a dark
secret.
The mum, it seems, waits for
the long nights and late morn
ings of late fall, when the sun
sets early and rises late. She
grows principally at night, like
some other members of the
family, and sets her bud strict

ed this phenomenon and figur-
ed that if the hours of dark
ness could be heightened, then
little old chrysanth would get
all mixed up in her habits.
So after hiding all the CAL

cloth, which could be drawn

The following are letters or
clippings from papers, each bear
ing complimentary remarks re-
garding the recent appearance in
Cleveland of the Caldwell band.
Mrs. Myron Oliver, formerly
Clyta Gardner of Caldwell, sends
the following clipping from the
Loudonvilie Times: "One of the
thrills of the century was the
show between halves at the
Browns-49ers game. 1t has been
the custom for the management
to invite outstanding high school
bands from various Ohio schools
to come and perform along with
George (Red) Birds Musical
Majorettes. Last Sunday they had
bands from Newark, Elyria and
Caldwell.
There were 100 or more pieces
in the big band from Newark and
around 80 in the Elyria band.
Little Caldwell, population l700,,
had a 36-piece outfit. And the
little band left the others quite
in the shade in every respect.
The Caldwell band was dressed
in tidy gray uniforms. They
marched at fast tempo in perfect
step. Most high school bands /
watched have from 80 to so per
cent of their personnel out of
step. This Caldwell bunch had
that problem licked entirely.
They marched from a basic
formation of an equilateral tri-
angle from which they cut nu-
merous fancy capers. 1t was uni
que trick, and the way they kept
their lines in perfect order was
uncanny. 1t really beat anything
| ever saw.
And they played music too.
From the music standpoint more
than any other way they out
shone the bands of bigger schools.
They sounded like professionals.
Bird, himself, who has been
teaching bands how to play Hold
That Tiger" since I don't know
when, heard how it should be
done when the little Caldwell
band played it at top speed.
When the bands marched off
the field and the crowd saluted
each with a round of applause,
the roar that went up for the
little gray gang from Caldwell
was deafening. The only cheer
that equalled it all afternoon was
at the opening kickoff when Lou
Saban recovered that 49er tumble
