Pleasant
Voice
BY Angelo Potri

A pleasant voice is q marvellous
thing. To have one requires at
tention to the matter in child
hood. For clearcut. pleasant
speech, the nose and throat must
/ be clear. When adenoids are pre-
sent, the voice is smothered and
the enunciation is thick. blurred
and anything but clear.
Adenoids are a growth foreign
to the body. They should not be
allowed to block q child's breath
ing. They can be removed easily
and the sooner it is done the bet
ter for the child. If allowed to
remain they not only spoil the
voice and the speech, but they
check the growth, by reducing
the intake of fresh air to the
lungs.
Healthy tonsils are q great aid
to q clear speech and a pleasant
tone. Healthy tonsils should not
be removed. But diseased ton
sils are a menace to health. When
the doctor says they are diseased
they should be removed and no
time should be lost In obeying
the doctors directions. Diseased
tonsils father q lot of Ills.
Sound, evenly ranged teeth are
an aid In clear speech and q pleas
ant voice. Missing teeth and un-
even teeth cause lisping and lisp
Ing spoils the speech and mars
tho personality. Teeth not only
have an effect on health they
have an effect on the personality.
A pleasant smile, q pleasant voice
and cleancut speech are assets to
the personality; their lack de-
tracts from the personality. Daily
attention to the teeth and the
twice-a-year trip to the dentist
pays of handsomely In health
and happiness.
Children should be taught from
the time they begin to talk to
use their voices with kindly and
tender care. They should keep
the volume Of their voices under
control and adjust the voice to
the room they are in and to the
ears Of their listeners. They
should not be encouraged to
scream or yell until they strain
their vocal cords. Good example
will strengthen precept.

Please tell the ladies Of the

African violet leaves which will
be glad to give to ones that

I am not equipped to package
them for mailing. Most Of them
are a bicolor which, blooms pro-
fusely and has an upright growth.
Some are from q pink plant that
blooms freely, but is fiat. would
like to get some new varieties in
exchange, but that is not neces-
sary. The varieties that sound
good to me from the catalogue
description are Orchid Beauty
Purple Prince" RED Bird" and
"Crinkles". I will part with q
white leaf for each of those.
Leaves can be purchased from
Walter w. McEver, Gainesville,
Ga. His catalogue contains COM
plete directions for growing Afri-
can violets. Leaves can also be
purchased from Virginia Lee Gar
dens, Greensboro. Md.
Thanks to the RICH. I got "The
African Violet" by Helen Var
Pelt. from the Public Library and
learned what to me Is the perfect
way to water house plants. I have
used the method on old plants
young plants, and in roofing suck
ers, both winter and summer. The
method is that of using soil wicks
They can be purchased at q gar
den supply store on e street BY
the three-story parking lot OF q
big department store. They are
made Of q material that does not
rot. Heavy string can be used
for roofing suckers or starting
tiny plants as 1t will last for q
few months. Insert the wick
through the hole in the bottom
Of the pot far enough up In the

enough to reach down in q ja1
or glass on which the pot sits
| "A 2-inch pot will hang by its rim
from the top Of a cheese glass and
is perfect to use for starting new
fplants. To start the suction. the
whole pot must be soaked, then
put it over q container OF water
so the wick is in the water. but
tho pot is out Of the water. Re

Mrs. Wilson also says to use soil
made Of one-third each OF sand

sand is important with this type
Of watering to keep 1t well
drained. Also, I think it is i'm
portant to sterlize the soil by bak-
| ing or simmering on q burner in

an hour or two. The soil should
be rather wet. This kills the
germ that causes the plants to
rot of at the surface.
