Novice gardener By Charlotte Rodriquez Is there anyone who doesn't want to grow beautiful flowers? Have vibrant colors in your flower beds? Spring is a wonderful time of year, and it brings out the gardener in me. When my husband and I retired, I wanted to landscape the yards myself. This was my chance to have an English cottage garden, plus the added delight of small sloping hills for rock garden fun. What was I thinking? I wish I knew what I was doing. I asked myself "Is this area right for this plant, that flowers?" While cleaning out weeds, pruning and grooming, I wondered if it was the right time of year. I wondered if I should have pruned those things in the fall. I wondered if my beautiful rock garden hill was going to survive until I learned about such things. And that plant growing with the daisy, is it a weed? Like most of us I know some names of the more popular plants. I feel very confident buying pansies, violas, petunias and a few daisies, but lorapetalum? It is hard to even remember that name. Who knew lilacs were syringa? Also, that plant I have always called a dolphin plant, it is a columnea as my garden club friend informed me. Thanks to garden club members I am learning. These are some of the reasons I joined the Red Bluff Garden Club. The garden club offers opportunities to learn about the plant world. Another great source of plant information is the various garden books with design guides and plant care for the novice and the experienced. Gardening books with pictures to illustrate the innumerable plants are so helpful. Don't think you have to be a plant expert before attending the garden club. It is a fantastic place to start learning about plants. Garden Club meetings are held the last Tuesday of each month at 12889 Baker Road, Red Bluff. Social begins at 12:30 p.m. and program and meeting at 1 p.m. Red Bluff Garden Club does not meet in July, but will resume again on Tuesday, Aug. 27. The Red Bluff Garden Club is affiliated with Cascade District Garden Club; California Garden Clubs, Inc.; Pacific Region Garden Clubs and National Garden Clubs, Inc.

Car and Six Year Old Boy Stolen at Joyland; Find Child Officers in upper California are exerting every effort to apprehend the thief who stole and automobile and with it a six year old boy, Elwood Heer last night from Joyland Park, four miles north of Red Bluff, where the Fourth of July was celebrated under auspices of the American Legion boys. The kidnapped boy is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Casper Heer farmers of the Cottonwood district who drove to Joyland late in the afternoon. — July 4, 1923 ing jungle of Vietnam. I am the Brooklyn Bridge, the wheat lands of Kansas and the granite hills of Vermont. I am the coalfields of the Virginias and Pennsylvania, the fertile lands of the West, the Golden Gate and the Grand Canyon. I am Independence Hall, the Monitor and the Merrimac. I am big. I sprawl from the Atlantic to the Pacific — my arms reach out to embrace Alaska and Hawaii. I am more than five million farms. I am forest, field, mountain and desert. I am quiet villages — and cities that never sleep. You can look at me and see Ben Franklin walking down the streets of Philadelphia with his breadloaf under his arm. You can see Betsy Ross with her needle. You can see the lights of Christmas and hear the strains of ''Auld Lang Syne'' as the calendar turns. I am Babe Ruth and the World Series. I am 110,000 schools and colleges and 330,000 churches where my people worship God as they think best. I am a ballot dropped into a box, the roar of a crowd in a stadium and the voice of a choir in a cathedral. I am an editorial in a newspaper and a letter to a Congressman. I am Eli Whitney and Stephen Foster. I am Tom Edison, Albert Einstein and Billy Graham. I am Horace Greeley, Will Rogers and the Wright Brothers. I am George Washington Carver, Jonas Salk and Martin Luther King Jr. I am Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman and Thomas Paine. Yes, I am the nation and these are the things that I am. I was conceived in freedom and, God willing, in freedom I will spend the rest of my days. May I possess always the integrity, the courage and the strength to keep myself unshackled, to remain a citadel of freedom and a beacon of hope to the world. Dear Annie: Anybody who makes it a habit to call every day can become a nuisance. A friend phones me every night just as I'm settling down to watch TV. I've become an unwilling, unpaid substitute psychiatrist for an hour of free listening. I've started saying that I'm watching a great movie and can't be torn away, or that I'm expecting a call from someone else. I hope she is listening to the message I'm trying to get across to her and to others who read your column. — N.C. Amazing Finds PHYSICIAN REFERRAL NEW & USED FURNITURE & MUCH, MUCH MORE!
