indicated the reckless extravagance of the time.

Saiiren is powder made of the dried stlgmss in each blossom. and it takes five pounds of fresh stig- mas to make one pound or sal- iron. Many. many thousands of acres must have been planted with the tiny bulb to supply the Roman demand.

It is interesting to read about the histories of the different flow- ers and their uses so many cen- turies ago.

March twenty-first is the offi- cial day at spring. but in this Province it is necessary to wait several weeks before we can say "Spring is here." All kinda of weather can come in this month and in April. but, the days are longer and brighter, some garden work can be done on the warm sunny days, and every day we are full of nice anticipation: for the gardening days ahead The days that the new seeds come. and the new bulbs are certainly interest- ing and happy. Plans can be made for them and a great deal oi pleasure obtained from their planning at this season of the year.

March is also the Flower Show

possible to see these shows we can read about them and enjoy the lovely illustrations and photo- graphs, many of them in heautifu color. a 0 I O

This is how one person describes a spring garden show in March . .

Spring has already come to the south and west coast. but here in lhe north vestiges of winter still linger. To those oi us who live in the cold part oi the world. March. the waning lime of win- ter, is the most exasperaling of months. it can be, and usuallv is. unpredictable. puzzling nnil problematic-al. ' But, come wind. ruin, sleet or snow---of one thing we are certain--ll. is the month of the great Spring Flower Shows which wet our appetites for an- other season of unlimited pleas- ure.

As every gardener knows, no publicist. howl-ver fluent, van quite convey the feeling the:

surges within us when we get our first glimpse of a Spring Show. it's a thrill that gives us a llit. As we meander ihrough a maze of tropical foliage resplendent uiih orchids or slap in admire a new rose, or gaze into a wood- land garden, all thoughts of the weather and the world about us disappear. Exclamation! are com- monplace. enthusiasm overwhelms us. and all our worries and cares fade away under the spell of lliese man-made Edens. I some- l.mes think that those who grow plants and flowers are endowed with a kind of vision of the ideal world that is not commonly found in the makeup of most people I lu.ow. Could this be the reason uby so many people who are not ailive gardeners visit the shows each year in increasing numbers? It is commonly believed that the ancient art of gardening like music and painting, I1 an unfail- ing source of inspiration. Ami what more effective means is there of bringing in the spring than with a Flower Show?

On the other hand. perhaps this God-given concept of Paradise is an integral part of all of us. but remains, to a great extent. latent or undeveloped. Thus, it bi-comes thechallenga of a few to rekindle

the vision each year. At any rate, our great Spring Flower Shows, planned. designed. and

created by a small group of un- selfish men and women who work for the sheer love of it all, bring renewed inspiration to all who seek it as the spring season un- lda.

More than once. while visiting these great flower shows during the past quarter of a century. have I heard the exclamation. "It's just like paradise!" Actual- ly, this bit of superlative praise is well grounded in the tradition of gardening. and reaches back 300 years before the time of Christ. in the days of King Cyprus. Xenophon. after vzsltlng the noted monarch. Hellenlzed the Persian word for garden to ”Para- delsos." Thus the word Paradise became synonymous with that of a garden. One of the greatest English garden books, written by John Parkinson in the l7lh con- iury and entitled "Paradisf in Sale. Paradlsus Terrestrls." is evidence enough that that ancient and cherished association of para- dise and gardens was not forgot- ten. even in Elizabethan times.

if morelizlng is in order, ll might well be said that many an enthusiastic burst of expression loday stems from some tradition. "lt is just like Paradise!"

Strange But True

ly P. I. llaeArtIsne If the police of Oharlottetown think they have a traffic night- mare on their hands Saturday nights then this piece oi writ, ing is ior them.

Stillwater. 0kla.. is Just s. little larger than Charlottetown. (30.- 000 pop.) with 7.000 automobiles or its own. But every morning 9000 students at Oklahoma University drive their 6,000 cars through the streets of Stillweter. on satur- dsys nearby farmers drive in an additional 5,000 cars to do their Saturday evening shopping, attend theatres. hockey. and what have you. And in the football season as many as 15.000 cars driven by sport fans crowd into town.

Add to all these cars. taxicabs. buses, and trucks. and you'll get a small picture of what would be a tralflc nightmare for most cit- ies. Yet. as The Lamp. publication oi the Standard Oil Company points out, the result is that Still- water is America's safest city to drive in. Why? Because there are not too many traffic lights and stop signs to bring motorists to a dead stop block after block. But there are plenty of those new ”Yield Right of Way" markers which most drivers prefer.

O O 0

Stlliwlter avoids the kind of safety campaign that flares up and then dies down like a sky rocket. Instead it used the shot- gun approach whlch hits. all seg- ments of the community for every 365 days.

And when it comes to violators. this city's cops take off their gloves. Even he fellow who gets a panklng ticket is listed on what they choose to call a ”rap card" which goes into the police files. Further offenses mark the driver- as a person to keep tabs on. Thus no driver can go for long without being tagged as a traffic menace.

"Well." you may say, ”But show us the proof. we are looking for facts to back up your story."

Here they are: "After winning the national council's annual a- wards with monotonous regular- ity. Stlllweter has been proclaimed America's safest city. To achieve this distinction, Stlllwater set a record of 3,762 straight days-or more than 10 years-without a traffic fatality." Thus it may be seen that a town or city may be crowded by motor can and still be safe.

Stopping off for a cup of cof- fee in a. downtown Toronto shop, Miss Mary Coles and Theodore Carmen put aside their coffee and married instead. Another coffee customer. a Justice of the peace. heard the couple remark they had the license but didn't know ex- sctly where to go. The obliglng Justice oi the peace married them on the spot without charge. Strange but true.

when this scribe was a youngs- ter one of our farmer neighbor's wives lost a small diamond ring in the poultry yard. When the little lady told her husband a- bout the loss he visited the poul- try coop axe in hand and went to work on the heads oi the hens while his wife looked through their innards. I-lead after head fell until the last one had been slaughtered. The diamond turned up in the 12th bird's stomach.

After 41 years of marriage to the "wrong man". Mrs. Pearl Stowell of Tulsa. Okla.. can lin- ally prove she is really wedded to her husband. The way the license read, she was married to her husband's brother in e cere-

I have said before in than col- umn that there is nothing new under the sun-not even beauty) contests. One such beauty contest in Bibcical days involved Esther, the poor Jewesa. Recall how the: King of Persia-I think his name was King Ahasuerus ordcredg every province of his kingdom to send its fairest dame to the cupi- inl? The most beautiful one was to be his Queen. lllsther won the contest hands down and that in- cidentally, is the first beauty con- test I've heard of to date.

It may shock my male readers to learn that older women are better suited to fill good positions than the stronger sex. According to a recent Institute Life Insur- ance report, women of from 45 to 64 have a fine chance of get- ting responsible jobs.

Many employers are anxious to! rehire reliable women who used to work for them. Fifty per cent have high school diplomas. while among men this percentage is 40 per cent. y

In Cornlth. Miss, Mrs. Hortense Patrick is the gmliddaughler of a doctor. the mother of a doctor. and. the mother-in-law of two doctors. strange but true.

The owner of a pet shop in Brooklyn, N.Y., is also the owner of the strangest animal on earth. It came from South America. and is nameless. It's face looks like. the face of a rabbit. it has kan-l garoo legs, a pigs tall. rat ears and deer fur.
