All because old man Winter could not out gracefully but had to vent spite, not only on the poor ois, flowers -but the poor human race as well on the first day of spring. There they are, the pansies and jonquils, their gay faces frozen stiff; the tulips, iris, wisteria and late blooming hyacinths, all in bud, they, too, are frozen. What are we going to do for flowers in church next Sunday? Let's just hope the fruit and vegetables that are out won't be ruined too. Oh, me! At least if they are, it isn't too late to plant more vegetables and annual flowers, so why worry? Mr.

and Mrs. Robert Gregory and Bro. and Mrs. Logan Cornelious visited the Hickory building. They found the gift to be composed of a piano, bell, class room tables, a coal heater, about twenty-eight pews, some ten feet long, some, sixteen feet and four just right for primary church members, and an attendance register, enough to fulfill the furnishing needs for their sanctuary.

Inclement weather last week kept the members from finishing the roof, although the sheathing is in place and ready for the shingles. If the weather permits, the men hope to complete that this week and also line up enough trucks, pick-ups, etc. to haul the furniture to the new site at one time. It is the hope of the congregation to be able to hold the first service in their church on Easter Sunday, Mrs. Opal Weller, Mrs.

With such activities going on, we just know spring is here. But what happens? The very day, along comes the north wind, plenty of dust, and later plenty of ice mingled in, to send everyone scuttling indoors again. Is spring here? But soon the discomforts of the dust and will be forgotten, since we have the wonderful moisture as compensation. Oh, yes, spring is here at least officially.
