address thoir meeting- her subject of course was african violets i didnt- want to drive and i didnt want to mtss the meeting so i took a taxi down town and got n ride home with a neighbour itwas a big meeting men nnd women too and every one of those people was interested in growing african violets mrs copeland spoke of this urge to grow violets as a disease you get the bug the -very- irstrti m o pom c on cgt vcs ou aleaf and says put it in water or soil itll grow mast of what mrs copeland told us i hnd already read in various magazine articles yet hearing it at firsthand was a lot more im pressive and here is something i had not heard before the little leaves that form on the outside of the main stem should always be pinched off they are suckers bald mrs copeland and absorb a tre mendous amount of strength from the parent plant the only leaves to be retained arc the ones that grow from the centre ths next morning i pinched all the suckers off my plants and there was quite a few overwatering is a sure way to kill your violets we were told fed from the top violets dont like to be soaked through and through nnd they dont like to have their feet in water but mrs copeland also said this if you are hnving good luck with your violets and your methods are different from mine dont let anything i say or what anyone else says eithor in fluence you one bit just keep on goinp the way you arc not every one achieves success the same way and melhinks that applicsto more than growing violets it was 8 oclock when i left hjjme that jiifiht and 11 oclock when 1 got back where in blazes have you been partner inquired pol itely when t stepped in just to a violet meeting well my gosh you couldnt have been talking violets all that time or if you were you must have ben bored ah but wt were talking violet and we certainly werent bored and that was no exaggeration either people had been asked to bring their worst plants and their best and we all wanted to know about each of them mrs copeland told us what ailed the poor ones and gave a prize for the best after the meeting closed we gathered around those plants j like bees round a honey pot bored i no one even looked at the clock except maybe a few husbands who had called to pick up their violet- lovitig wives maybt they looked at the clock a good many times anyway partner had no room to talk he was out to a milk board meeting the night before and he also returned at 1130 now i ask 1 poets corner count that day if you ait down at sot of sun and count the acta that you hnvo and counting jtn3 one flelfdfenylntf deed one word that- eased the heart of him who henrd one glnneo moat kind that fell like sunshine where it went then may you count that day well spent but if through nil the livelong day youve cheercd no heart by yea or nay if through it all 3goii t d th vnu can trace that brought the sunshine to one face no act most small that helped some soul and nothing cost then count that day an worse than lost georgeeliot you by any stretch of imagination could milk be as interesting as af rican violets sure i know it is more profitable but interesting controversial would be better word to describe it the milk question is about as un settled as the ceasefire negotiations at the un conference well the royal tour has ended i hope everyone heard princess elizabeths farewell address it seemed to me there was a rather sad wistful quality in her voice that had not been there on previous occasions it was the voice of sin cerity giving expression to a heart felt feeling of appreciation nnd gratitude
