All Green Thumbs
.Heralding Spring
Gardening Season

] AlC- puliCludl arrival Vi SpI IlIlS
is a signal for green thumb"
claimants to get out the seed
catalogs and dust off the gar
den tools. For All girls and
boys. spring also marks the be-
ginning of a gardening project
that could bring rich rewards
next fall. Among them are a
$400 scholarship, a wonderful
week at the National All Club
Congress in Chicago, and a
handsome wristwatch.
The specific All award pro-
grams are garden and beautifi-
cation of home grounds. Either
one may be carried on in town
or on the farm. Any boy or
girl between 10 and 2l years
old may enroll in the program,
according to the Cooperative
Extension Service.
The grounds S Identification
work includes learning about
landscaping, how to plant and
care for flowers, shrubs, lawns,
and to otherwise enhance the
exterior of the home surround
ings. Usually the entire family
lends a hand on this project
because it often involves paint
ing and building.
In the garden program, club
members not only learn how to
plan a useful and nutritious
garden, but also something about
insect control, soil conservation
and marketing. Club members
find that well-planned and cul-
tivated garden contributes sub
stantially to the family year
round food supply and therefore
adds dollars to the food bud
get.
2S0,000 Strong
The projects are supervised
locally by the volunteer All
Club leader and the County Ex-
tension agent. Members keep
individual progress records, and
each year enter them and their
products in competition with
other All gardeners in the state.
County, state and national win
ners are then named by the ex-
tension staff.
While the Cooperative Exten-
sion Service supervises the pro-
gram work, the awards are do
mated by leading business con-
Germs and private individuals.
Awards in the garden program
come from Allis Chalmers Man
ufacturing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.
The home ground Identification
awards are given by Mrs. Char
les R. Walgreen of Chicago, a |
noted hertieulturist.
Last year across the nation
nearly 100000 club members
were enrolled in the garden pro-
gram, and about half that num-
Der were reported for grounds
Identification.
Information re G a ding All
Club work may be obtained
from the State Extension office
or the County Extension agent.

especially his wife and chill
dren have been accustomed
to the fastest way Of life in
America. The comedown to
one = fourth his salary is
something more than a priva-
ton. 1t is a family crisis.
This man must pack up
the bedstead and move.
Where he has been living, to
keep in tune with his sue
cess, is too expensive for a
pension. Maybe he has made
connections for another job
but this is below the status
level his success has entitled
him to, and it's unpalatable
to his family if not to him.
This is possibly the most
unhappy man in America in
retirement.
The third type is the man
who has been making be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 a
year.
This fellow, if he has been
with a pretty good company,
won't fare too badly. He
probably came up from the
ranks and his wife has not
cultivated a taste for caviar.
He will philosophize a good
bit and tell you that he

up on trips to BanffD. He will
complain about imitation, the
coldness of big companies,
and wonder if socialized med
icine might have been a good
idea after all.
He will retire fairly well.
He will wind up in Califor-
mia or Florida, talk Republi-
can and vote Democrat, and
pontiflcate about the ills of
the world.
The HappieSt Time
The man who retireS on an
income of less than $4,000
but more than $4,000 a year
is the child of the gods. His
wife has never tasted caviar.
His children do not think
the world or their parents
owe them a living. This is
the man who can retire to
a small town in the South,
call people by their first
name, and be a human being
without trying.
This man, so far as I have
been able to determine, is
the happiest retired man in
America. He doesn't have to
prove anything.

My husband left me three
weeks ago and is paying me

SAILBOAT PEOPLE
Margot Asquith, a British woman
who wields a trenchant pen, writes
of an interview she had with a
tramp in which she asked him as
to how each day he determined the
way he would go. In quick reply
the tramp said, Il always turn my
back to the wind" Perhaps that is
what made him a tramp.
Sailboats are much like that !;
they go best with the wind. If the
wind blows toward the east, that
is their direction. If it blows west,
they go best that way. While it is
possible for them, by expert handl-
ing of the sails, to beat against
the wind, they go forward much
slower that way. 1t is so much
easier lazily to go as the wind
blows
We find people in our churches
who are very much like that. They
have few if any deep religious con-
victions. This makes it easy for
them to shift from one congrega-
tion to another, and if some travel
ling evangelist comes to town to
take the community on new emo
tional spree, they are sure to be
found attending his meetings. But
| in a little while a new religious
wind blows them to new directions.
They remind me of the church /
attended as boy. This church had
its tall tower topped by a large
weather vane. 1t turned each day
as the wind blew Too bad that we
have many people in our churches
today who are just like that.
POWER-BOAT PEOPLE - Some
one in facetious mood once said
that 1.-THE church is full of willing
people-some are willing to work
and others are willing to let them" :"
How true this is! In your church
which of these two groups is in the
majority? | hope it is the willing
workers. They are the ones who
are not halted by opposition, or
criticism, or the Indifference of
others, but like power-boat
drives against the wind, they go
resolutely forward to attain the
goal their church has set for them.
They have a power within them
selves, faith in God and a love
for their church that will not let
them accept anything but the at
tainment of what they set out to
do. May God bless and increase in
number these "Power-Boat Peo-
ple."
Indeed, some folks are like boats.
Like which kind of boats are you?
