Dear Editor;
Georgia gave us something to

Georgia gave us our first old
fashioned lynching for the year

time, instead of the usual mob

overpowering the jailor, there
were only two unmasked men,
with keys to the cell left quite
conveniently for them on a table

the murder of a white man or
the rape of a white Woman-it
was that a Negro man shot AT

many young Negroes fought =

graceful, shameful and no nation

Spring Look" Combines

This spring it is apt to be navy

all, whether tailored or soft. 1t is
also an ensemble look. A princess

match; or redingote ensemble.
"The spring look is printed
dress look. 1t is a big polkadot
spring. The plunging neckline and
the bare neck will be prominent.
The 'plunger' is usually accom-
panied by a narrow shawl collar
which makes it seem sharper and
deeper than it is. The wide-open
neck will soon be everywhere.
"The spring look is the shan
tung look. Silk shantung and rayon

is also the giant pocket look. Odd

Start Spading Garden as
Soon as Soil Crumbles

II you want your garden plot to
be well prepared, spade it yourself.
Weeks may slip by waiting for a
plowman to do job which, by the
proper approach, can be reduced
to enjoyable and beneficial exer-
else.
The secret is to take it easy.
Spading is not hard work if done
a little at a time. A space 30x50
feet can be spaded in leisurely
way in eight hours. One hour a
day for eight days, and the job is
done.
But first. be sure the soil is in
condition to spade. Never work
soil which is too wet; and if the
soil is heavy, don't wait until it
has become too dry. There is a
point between extremes when even
heavy clay can easily be lifted,
and will crumble under blow from
the spade. You can tell this point
by using the mud pie" test.
Mould a ball of earth in your
hand, and pat it to make mud pie.
If the pie holds together, the soil
is too wet to spade. If it crum-
bles, then you can go ahead.
Systematic spading makes the
job easier, and more complete.
Here is one way to do it: Set a def
mite task for your first days work,
say a strip six feet wide, running
the shortest dimension of the gar
den. At one end dig a ditch, say
one foot wide and the depth of the
spade, removing all soil from it.
Pile this soil near the opposite end
of the strip.
Now begin to spade with the
blade not parallel to the trench,
but at right angles to it. This en-
ables you to lift the soil more
easily, and deposit it in the trench.
The spade should be driven down,
not on a slant, but perpendicularly
to its full depth. Take a small
slice of the soil so your back is
not strained. Lift it up, turn the
spade over, so that the top soil
falls underneath and bottom soil on
top. In filing the first trench, you
have opened a second.
If you wish to spade under ma
nure, spread it evenly over the
area, except for the top of your
initial trench. When this first trench
has been dug, clean the manure
from the top of the next trench and
throw it into the bottom of the
Montgomery County sentinel., 1949-03-31

The spring look is made up of
number of different style trends
"a slightly shorter skirt, slim
mer lines, giant pockets, shan
t'ng, the plunging neckline and
the ensemble, among others. In
the fashion picture for spring:
"The spring look is blue look:
navy, royal, medium, light blue,
pale blue, ice blue, turquoise, pea
cock, and any other blue that you
can think of. 1t is a shorter skirt
look. Maybe an inch. If you wear
your skirts at IL inches from the
floor and that suits you and looks
right in your long mirror, stay that
way. If it feels draggy, change to
13.
"The spring look is a slim skirt
look. Slim for suits, day dresses,
some soft dresses. Even skirts with
back fullness manage to look
slender. Evening gowns and young
clothes are the exceptions. Shoul-
ders will have a more natural look.
When we say natural we are Wis
ualizing beautifully shoped natural
ualizing beautifully shaped natural
grade, continue with pads-thin
pads.
