DON CARSON forced upon me other national leaders. the day when I ’ead an article r.TirTTrBatrrmrmniTpTr HXTU which stated em phatically th at a man who allows his wife to work can by no stretch of the im agina tion call himself the head of the house. It fu rth e r indicated that since such a m an was not the boss, he m ust of necessity be a very poor sample of manhood. I learned a great deal from th at article, for I happen to be one of those questionable ch a r acters whose wife is employed. I learned th at I not only was spine less but also was stupid as weh. Believe it or not, but in my ignor ance I was totally unaw are of the fact that my wife should have asked my permission to go to work in the first place. Even worse, I must have been asleep In the House through part of the wedding cere mony seventeen years ago, for I “SAINTS BE PRAISED” certainly don’t rem em ber the preuc/ier telling me I was to be irish or Scotch . . . You’ll want to take advantage the boss. of these savings. U hat really w orries me is that my neighbors will discover how- incapable I am of keeping my good wife at home where she be longs. In the past I ra th e r gloated over the idea that they imagined I drove her forth with a black- snake whip each morning c a rry ing a few soggy biscuits in her MARCH 16 and 17 lunch basket and then took away all her wages on pay day, not even allowing her enough to buy salves for her wounds. The only consolation left me for having lost all rights to be called a man is that in our house there is no such word as " m y ’ ACROSS FROM TH E BANK or "mine’’; it is all "ours.” F u r in m m fln g fflfiS miiiiHiWiinmnmiTTTffTTn therm ore to answ er the harshest critics, I ’ll w ager that our chil dren are as well raised and our home as well kept as those in some households where m other toils daily over a hot bridge table or sits around discovering new aches and pains. 2 Brookings Harbor Pilot Thursday, March 12, 1953 For W hat It's W orth Annual So.

Subscription w ill tie dropped unless subscrlbr notifies P ilo t o f change Someone Planted Trees You Enjoy SOME EARLY AMERICAN, perhaps one of your relatives, helped to plant the trees you now enjoy. W herever one sees along the streets or in yards, beautiful trees, hedges, flowering shrubs and fruit trees someone has planted them , says the A m er ican Association of Nurserym en. "P la n t today , for tom orrow ” is the slogan of m any groups interested in m aking our cities and towns m ore beautiful, includ ing various garden clubs and civic organizations. In some cities y e a rs ago, people started out with an idea like planting lilacs in Rochester, New' York, maples and elm trees in m any tow’ns, as well as other trees like magnolias, that grow all through the south There is a great splurge today to have towns known for some particular tree or shrub. M organtown. W est Virginia, for instance, this year is planting the city w ith dogwoods. Cities fam ed for roses, such as Portland, Oregon, Pasadena. California, and many sim ilar cities cam e from an idea of those interested in th e fu tu re beauty of the comm unity. Pecan trees have been planted in m any localities in Texas. The famed oleanders and hibiscus of Florida, the Royal palms, all w ere planted. Mobile, Alabama, and Charlestow n, South C a r olina, are famed for azaleas, camellias, live oaks and o th er plants. Many private home properties have beautiful specimens of tre e s and shrubs, all planted by someone who w anted the beauty of natu re around his home. Many homes have a fruit or nut tre e in the yard to give enjoym ent to the family, especially the youngsters. All of these plants now enjoyed were planted by someone who, perhaps forgotten now, has left his m ark on the world for suc ceeding generations to enjoy. It would he a dreary world indeed if no one ever planted o rn a m ental trees and shrubs o u r cities, our home properties might be habitable, hut they would never be liveabzle. A num ber of planting custom s have grown up in the past, possibly by some ancestors who saw the decrease of ornam ental planting with the increase in (>opulation. One of these custom s is for each couple, when they buy a home, to plant for husband and wife two lovely trees or shrubs at the e n tra n ce of the prop erty . or beside the doorstep, as a symbol of perm anence and everlasting love. A nother custom was to plant a tret' as a p e r m anent rem inder for each newborn child. G reat attachm ent was form ed for these trees and shrubs. Perhaps these custom s should be revived, in order to help keep our properties green and beautiful. You can be certain, except in the forests, that most of the welcome shade, the a t tractiv e foliage, the beautiful flowers or delicious fruit comes from trees that were planted by somebody. And the more this generation plants, the more succeeding generations will enjoy th eir home properties, their cities and towns, as well as America.
