JANUARY 30,1986
Mrs. Meroney hosts Garden Club
Resgsn Garden Club district 8
met at the house of Mrs. Donald
Meroney. January 21 with Mrs.
Jack Black Co-hoating. Guest
speaker Austin Stockton, exten-
sion horticulturist of the Texas
A A M Research Center present-
ed a slide show on pruning trees
Mr. Stockton warned against top-
ping a tree since insects and
disease attack an unprotected
trunk Furthermore, a topped
tree may develop 'heart rot'?
Moreover, too many branches
arise from large stubs forming
weak wood and an overly dense
canopy. The heavy shade makes
grass maintenance difficult. A
large shade tree needs to be
thinned in order to allow light
to penetrate so that a stand of
turf grass can be maintained.
Mr. Stockton also stressed a-
gainst overcrowding shade trees.
One or two well spaced shade
trees is better than four or five.
The ash and pecan which grow
tall can be combined with red-
bud. pistachio and showy goldy
raindrop trees to enhance the
landscape. A question and an-
swer session followed the slide
presentation.
Mrs. J.L. Werst, Jr. read an
article from the Lone Star Gar-
dener titled: Nylon filament
trimmers, a danger to new trees.
In celebration of Arbor Day
members dedicated a Heritage
Live Oak and a Shumard Oak
planted in the County Park to
pioneer families of Big Lake.
Mrs. Meroney read a poem
which compared a tree to a ship.
Those present were: Mes-
adames Cleon Nunnally, Jack
Black, Robert Eaves, Robbie
Ferguson, Otis Hoioman. Ken-

When Massachusetts people are
heard to brag, "Our state was the
cradle of liberty," New Hampshire
natives smile and respond, "Yes,
but we rocked the cradle." They
have good reason to make such a
statement. America's Declaration
of Independence was signed on
July 4, 1776, while New Hampshire
had set the pattern by signing
theirs on June 15.

In New Hampshire there is an inter
esting stone formation, known
world wide as the Great Stone Face.
Carved out of solid granite, by wind
and rain, it bears an amazing likeness
to the face of a strong and handsome
man. The old man inspired
Nathaniel Hawthorn's story, "The
Great Stone Face."

But an equally famous tribute was
paid to the state by the great orator,
Daniel Webster. "Men put out
signs representing their trades.
Jewelers hang out monstrous
watches, shoemakers a huge boot.
Up in New Hampshire God Almighty
has hung out a sign that says,
"In this state I make men."

That is no secret1 That seems to be
His main business. That, and
repairing those He has made who,
for some reason, mar and break
themselves Maybe that is why
Christ came as a carpenter, rather
than a writer or a farmer or a
fisherman. He makes men. He
repairs men. He beautifies the
lives of men with His presence
and His power. "FqIIow me,"
Jesus said, "and I will make you."
