Regular Meeting
The Roanoke Island Garden
Club meeting on Thursday even
ing at the home of Mrs. Pete
Daniels at Wanchese with Mrs.
Daniels, Mrs. Royden Tillett and
Mrs. j. M. Davis as hostesses had
a special program on the basic
principals for flower arrange
ments. The guest speaker for the
occasion was Mrs. Robert Mum
of Norfolk who is, a qualified
flower show judge, and has for
several years been most active in
the associated flower clubs of
Norfolk and vicinity. Mrs. Mum
insisted that in making any
flower arrangement the arranger
should have a definite design in
mind before beginning. with
color scheme visualized. She
casually spoke of the influence
that oriental flower arranging
has had on American arrange
ments. In suggesting back
grounds used for flowers in the
home or when displayed in a
show, she demonstrated with
contrasting materials. She ex-
hibited a black and white
arrangement made with dried
materials in a white vase with
black background, then one of
fresh flowers against soft green
background.
. Mrs. Mum suggested that in a
good flower show a theme might
be carried out in a center Of in
terest display. In her discussion
she suggested the use of varied
materials in making floral dis
plays that might be called the
mechanics of flower arranging.
Miss Bessie Draper was a nom
membership guest of the evening,
Mrs. Guy Lennon and Mrs. Lena
Pearsal became members of the
club for the coming club year.
AS a social climax for the even
ing the hostesses served a color
full and delicious plate with
nodded ice-cream pie decorated
with small Easter eggs.

At committee meeting held at
Seatone on Monday evening per-
manent plans for a Community
Flower Show sponsored by the
Roanoke Island Garden Club
were made. May 20 was chosen
as a desirable date when an
abundance of flowers seemed a
possibility. The committee chose
the community center as the de-
sirable location for the show and
decided on the theme, Island
Beauty, as a logical one for a
flower show on Roanoke Island.
All flower growers on the Is
land are invited to make contri-
buttons to the show. There are
to be five divisions in the display.
The first division will be horti-
cultural and will display espec-
tally fine specimens of flowers in
single container, or rare plants
in pots, or any successfully grown
shrub or flower.
The second division will be
known as Natures Paint Box"
and will display wild flowers or
foliage arrangements. The third
division will be Seaside Art"
and will display arrangements
using shells, seaplants, driftwood,
'seaweed, panels. The fourth di-
vision will be flower arrange
ments in general and will be the
largest division; and the fifth
will be miniature flower arrange
ments.
Along with the flower show
the Garden Club will conduct
a bazaar for the sale of gifts made
through the talents of garden
club members and given for the
benefit of the Elizabethan Gar
den fund.
Admission to the show will be
only silver offering for cost of
putting on the exhibit and the
surplus will be donated to the
Elizabethan Garden Fund.
The General Committee for
developing the Flower Show are:
Mrs. A. @. Bell, chairman; Mrs.
Charles Marshall. Mrs. Ernest

Camera Angles

Vacation days are upon us
SO, since picture taking is a
vital part Of the vacation
scheme Of things, let's make
few plans for the one coming
up.
The amount of planning to
be done depends largely upon
your approach to photography.
If you will be content to shoot
a few snapshots of your wife
and children for a record of
your vacation days it shouldn't
take you more than a few min
utes to plan your picture-tak-
ing arrangements.
But if you have reached the
stage of professional anna
teur" like so many, it will take
some thought to prepare for
the trip. One way or the other
don't make the mistake of
scurrying around at the last
moment while you try to gather
up your camera, accessories
and film. If you are going to
take pictures be prepared to do
a real job of it.
Whot to Include?
The first question that is
sure to enter your mind is,
What to take along?" This
again depends somewhat on
the kind and amount of pic
lures you intend to make. But
there is also another factor
that comes into the picture
your means of transportation.
If you are driving by car you
will have lots of room for a
complete roster of cameras
and equipment. But if you go
by plane. train or boat
chances are you will have to
