FLOWER GARDEN?

! would like to plan a rose gar.

yard and in front of the back
porch. I have room for about 20
bushes. prefer the floribunda

Should I secure one or two-year

names OF several profuse bloomers
which make for attractive indoor

CURTAIN PROBLEM?
(From Miss E. H., WashingtonJ
I would appreciate help on the
following problem: I plan to make
traverse curtains to cover three
windows and the wall on either
side. The wall on one side of the
windows measures five inches and
on the other ten. Do I make the
center of the curtain the center OF
the wall or the center of the cen
ter window? My first reaction is
that it would be the center Of the
wall, but in that case when the
curtains are pulled back, the side
with only five inches of wall space
would be crowded with more ma
terial.

FRENCH CLUB?
CHURCH?
SCHOOL?

(Fron Mrs. F. F. A., Falls Church. J
Once more I am turning to RCH
for help with my problems. They
are not the usual ones but do
hope some one will have the
answers.
I am expecting my mother to
come from France in about one
month to stay here permanently.
The trouble is she cannot speak
English and as do not have any
French friends myself, I will be
the only person she will be able to
understand, and am afraid she
will become lonesome and this is
why I thought a reader might
help. Is there in Washington or
the vicinity a club formed by
French people or an organization
where she could meet French
ladies to have talks about the old
country?
Also, I would like to subscribe
to some French magazines, but do
not know what company handles
subscriptions: and is there, beside
the library. a store where we could
rent and exchange French books?
also need help in a different
field. My husband and myself are
members of a church in Washing
ton. but since we moved to Falls
Church find it just too far to go,
and have been thinking of trans
ferring to church closer to our
home. So far, however, we have
not seen any we can join. Could
some reader tell me the location
of a Methodist Church close to
Donna Lee Gardens and Virginia
Forest? We would prefer one
where we could meet some young
married couples.
Finally. is there a cooperative
nursery in the vicinity of the
same section of Falls Church.

Educational Community Chest

The United Negro College Fund annual appeal for
more than a million dollars will begin next Tuesday,
April 8, in 81 campaign cities throughout the nation. This
vitality important project will raise funds to support cur
rent operational budgets of 80 member-colleges of the
United Negro College Fund.
UNCF's annual campaign is an educational COM
munity chest in which 80 of this country's foremost private
colleges and universities for Negroes have pooled their
resources to make one major and effective appeal for
public aid to meet annual operating costs. It is a very
worthwhile undertaking.!
1t should be a privilege for every American, re-
CARELESS of race, creed or color, to lend his support to the
campaign, since the colleges aided by the Fund educate
and train the teachers, doctors, dentists and skilled
technicians who serve a majority of the nations largest
minority group Is million Negro citizens. The contri-
buttons of these college graduates to community progress
and inte1racial goodwill cannot be measured. Colleges re-
presented by the Fund are located in II states and in
clude such fine schools as Fisk, Hampton, Atlanta Uni
versity and Bethune-Cookman College.
Support a most worth cause!

SENTENCE SERMONS:
God Game 10 Defend"
By REV. FRANK LOWRY for AMP


1. Even in the expressions on little chldrens faces is reflect
ed the peculiar spirit OF Easter with its multiplicity OF charms
and hidden graces.
2. The eggs, the Dummies and trimmings, all harmonic and
magnticently blend; all life is renewed and quckened, for
a God has come to defend.
3. Even the air though sometimes chilly seems to whisper with
an enchanting Sound-He is risen to bring salvation yea,
wherever sin is found.
4. The birds as they glide through natures trackless ether,
seem to know and lnstinctvely chirp lit is Easter, it is
Easter.
5. Unsaved man gropes ON this earth amidst this atmosphere
of sacred glory and fails to sense the wondrous love of Him
who came from Glory.
6. The saddest spectacle one can behold or the human heart
conceive, is that OF a mar surrounded with everything fine,
yet his inward misery can't relieve.
Z. The little chick is a happy token of what Easter means to
man, portraying Christ breaking His prison cell, making it
possible for any man to step out of darkness and his spirit
ual and physical body expand.
8. And now that Christ has paid the price and broken mans
bands Ia under-for Christ to expect man to accept Him
now, there should be no wonder?
9. Thus every ma and woman should have no cause for I'M
certainty and doubt, since the God of Heaven and earth
paid SO dearly to bring their freedom about.
10. Easter, therefore, each successive year should be hailed with
exataton and praise; for despite our changing world con-
ditions, Christ fixed a plan to save all men throughout the
days.
II. Richer by far are we than those who came before the event
of this matchless Cross and Tomb. Christ personally came
down to fix the price Of the crown to be worn where there
is plenty of room.
IL. How happy then at this Eastertide should every Christian
soldier be, who is a witness through the spirit that the Son
of God died, but arose to set his soul eternally free.

you can't go yourself and he knows
that you haven't kept your word.
The idea of depriving a child of
something if he is bad or rewarding
him if he is good has the same gen
eral fault as spanking and threaten
ing. It is controlled by fear and
doesn't really help the child.
Discipline by Fear
A child who is disciplined by fear
may grow up to be an easy con-
former or he may try using the same
methods on other children.
In getting child to do something
just to please you, you are destroy
ing something in his feeling towards
you. Reasoning may be used if a
child is old enough and it is kept on
his level. Many times, though, the
child can't understand especially if
he's very young.
The main thing to remember is
that discipline is not just another
word for adult convenience. It
should be learning process for both
the parents and the child in which
the child eventually learns to make
his own decisions and adjust to the
relationships both in his home and
outside.
