The yellow and pink petaled banners

vance guard of the flower parade to
announce that the battalions of roses
are on the way. But the first frail.
ephemeral blossoms pass so soon; they
just seem to wave at us and are gone

June of the rare days approaches, tread

and arborS become reviewing stands
where, with enraptured senses. can be
watched the radiant regiments in their
enchanting uniforms. They keep step
into the shortening days. with the rear
guard still marching bravely. with hardy
tread. when the trees are stricken bare
and the frost is on the pumpkin.
Who doubts that. if popularity con-
test could be registered at the swinging
garden gate, the rose would emerge as
the best-loved bloom? The rose award
for enhancing witchery is based partly
on the glory of the curved, silky petals.

Telephone Soliciting

I wish that something could be done
about the tactics of the firms who call
up housewives to try to make sales by
telephone.
First of all I wish that these calls
could be limited to- certain hours in the
day instead of all day and evening as at
present. get Oh an average of four such
calls weekly at any hour of the day or
night and it Is nuisance to leave the
washing, ironing or ceoking to find that
it is only some one trying to part me
from my money. People who want to sell
cemetery plots should at least refrain
from calling right before the dinner hour
as they always do when they call me.
Second, I wish that they would refrain
from getting persons name from So
called friend" for their sucker list. This
means that these firms are using the
subtle threat of getting person in bad
with his friends if he does not kick in
with the money. resent this interfer-
ence with my private life.
Third, I wish they would clean up
that standard retort to a polite refusal
to shell out dough. They usually say.
Whats the matter? Don't you want to
look nice?" df it's beauty product).
Don't you want to save any money!"
if it's savings plan). And so on. This
implies that the person who does not
pay up is slouch, or fool, as the case
may be. Do we have to be not only called
to the phone for nothing. but also in
suited for nothing?
If other housewives feel the same way
some organization might take the names
of firms using such tactics and publish
them for the interests of the buying pub
lie. for one would not spend dime
with them.

It is our suggestion that some club
set as it's project the planting in uni
form manner of dozens of just plain
trees throughout the business and resi-
dental district. These trees could be
native and dug by the members and
planted by the members or it not that,
it is believed that the federal govern
ment would grant permission to pro-
cure trees from some of the nurseries
in the state, particulars of which we
are slightly acquainted. Members of
the club could actually plant the trees,
water them and tend them from year
to year. These trees properly placed
would add much to the permanent
beauty of Tabor City.
Or, there might be some way of get
ting hundred or two crepe myrtles
somewhere. There might be people
who have extra shrubs that they would
donate. A goodly number of these
properly placed throughout town
would some time make Tabor City look
like garden spot.

40 employees of Basic Refrac.
tories, Inc. - a truly impressive
exhibit.
Desiring to find out further
details regarding this advertise
ment l go in touch with an exc
cutive of Basic Refractories.
From him 1 learned that these
40 signers represented SO per
cent of the employees-the re-
manning 2 per cent were not avail
able to sign, being either on va
cation or sick leave.
The employees and executives
of Basic Refractories, Inc. are to
be commended and congratulated
on having made public this pro-
clamation of their belief in
Basis Americanism.
1t is to be hoped that this
Ohio industry has spanked some
thing that will sweep the nation.
A press release sent out by the
company before the appearance
of the advertisement read: "The
power of suggestion is limitless
and since there are almost Co.,
100000 other working people
like these 40 employees of our
Ohio plants, will you help them
to act by suggesting that they
do likewise?"
It is an effort to help toward
that end that I am passing on
this message to the readers Of
my column, in the hope that in
thousands of towns throughout
America, millions of FREE MEN
WILL SIMILARLY PROCLAIM.
BASIC Americanism.

at a page advertisement which
appeared therein-an announce
ment spontaneously sponsored
signed by 40 employees of
Basic Refractories, Inc, plants

sible, within the confines of this
column, l would like to repro
duce this advertisement. 1t fol-
lows:
AS FREE MEN WE PROCLAIM
OUR BELIEF in the divinity
Of God, the dignity of man and
the destiny of our country.
OUR BELIEF that imam shall
live by the sweat of his brow"
OUR BELIEF in a fair days
work for a fair days pay.
OUR BELIEF that a man
should live within his income
md pay his honest debts. and
that our government should op-
crate on the same sensible basis.
OUR BELIEF that under the
American Way of Life we already
HAVE a higher standard of liv-
ing than any other governmental
system has ever offered-let a.

OUR BELIEF that as free men,
proud of our achievements and
jealous of our rights, that there
S no place in our midst for COM
munists, fellow-travellers and
other cranks who by wild &C.
cusations and empty promises
would lead us down the trail to
political and economic slavery.
OUR BELIEF that II is our
duty as free men to speak out
in defense of our American Way
of life and to 60 on record to
that end.
so WE PROCLAIM with the
firm conviction that SO per cent
of all Americans subscribe to
the above sentiments, that We

SUGGESTION FOR SOME CIVIC CLUB -.

SUGGESTION FOR SOME CIVIC
Ordinarily Civic clubs are hamper
ed in any project they set out to accom-
plish because of the lack of funds.
Raising money whether it's by
church, private business or civic club
seems to always be factor to consider
and it is all but impossible to carry on
any worthwhile project without con-
siderable finances.
Yet, we believe that there is
worth while project that we could car
nv on in Tabor City that wouldn't
cost anyone cent. 1t would cost sew
eral people some time but in actually,
isn't time all we have anyway?
Tabor City likes a lot of being
town of beauty. Matter of fact, there
Just isn't much of that here. Now the
town has no huge surplus with which
to make the community more attrac-
tive and more inviting. But as members
of civic clubs, you can do something
that would make this town much east
er on the eyes.

serves hearty sswell done" and a pat

VA PIONEERS NURSING
In the course of building up the
largest peacetime nursing service in
the world, the Veterans Administra-
ton has pioneered in providing nurses
who wish to be bedside nurses with
the full opportunity to progress in
grade and income while continuing to
give direct patient service.
This was brought out today by
John B. Wogan, manager of the 800
bed Oteen VA hospital, in interviewing
a group of graduate nurses who were
here to make application for e0-day
temporary appointments to the nurs-
ing service of the Oteen VA hospital
prior to taking their state board exam
nation next fall.
The VA nursing service has been
granted authority to make such ap-
pointments for graduate nurses, pend
ing state registration, upon evidence
that the state board examination has
been taken or applied for.
The rapid Improvement and expan-
sion of medical care for veterans dur
ing the past two years or more has de-
manded corresponding development
in the caliber of nursing practices and
policies, Vega pointed out. The high
quality of medical treatment and care
afforded veterans today is due in large
measure to the manner in which VA
nurses have met this unprecedented
demand.
The VA nurses are recognized as
a professional member of the hospital
team and they share with doctors and
administrators the responsibility for
providing patients with the best kind
of medical care.
