Like its many prcJitvss rs and the many mare which will cme, it was greeted lust.ly as we seem to turn our thoughts to the new and forget the old. The year 1953 has been one of great importance in the history of the world for it marked the end of the loss of American lives in Korea-o- ne of the greatest tragedies in American history. The New Year prum.scs to be another milestone in the p: ogress of man as he sitks means of turning atomic energy into peaceful pursuits and fath :n the mvslcries of that great power which all of us hupe will lie taken from the hands of militarists wno only plan to destroy its power. The year 1954 can be a happy one for all of us as happiness and pleasure and j v are often a state of mind, when we a:e wont to feel that surroundings and circumstances au: loo important. Let us look to the future with hope and enthusiasm. New Pension Plan A new pension is being proposed by Nebraska's Congressman Curtis who suggests Uncle Sam pay $50 a month to every person over 65, whether they need it or not. do YOU think of this mat plan? Colored TV? There is much ado about the forthcoming color TV sets and we have interviewed several dealers who claim they will not be here to the general public for some time. Then, too. they are most expensive in the east, where they can be procured and use where color is available, (it is nut ready as yet for our state.) I'm sure as the authorities claim in a Reader's Digest article two months ago, that color TV undoubtedly will not be ready for the general public, too, until an inexpensive color device is perfected to attach to everyone's set. Until that time, we're like Orvil Coon, who said he would rather have a good black and white set at a reasonable figure, than a colored set at about 1 Ho-hu- $1500.00. Wonderful Observation! After touring the United Stales, a European was being interviewed on his impressions. The man had seen our skyscrapers, inspected our faeories and visited our natural wonders.

The rose, I feel safe in saying, leads the parade. Rose societies have large membership in every state where roses are grown. The American rose annual issued by the National Rose Society has become a classic in rose literature. The enthusiasm of is proverbial and so we have Iris societies. Chrysanthemum clubs. Gladiolus groups, etc. One of the latest ones to come to my attention is the Geranium Society. These organizations have done a marvelous Job in stimulating interest in their particular field. Most of their members are not ond ly enthusiasts but specialise hybridizers. Those flowers and UP hrubl hav,in M port, are almost stepchildren in the great family of shrubs and flowers used in American gardens. Lilac A Stepchild In spite at its great merits, the lilac haa been such a stepchild. No doubt everyone thought that this hardy plant could nude for itself. However, the lilac too. needs some organized help. T1 Magna Garden Club rccrntl ' out in this movement. The w. of this idea was immediately recognized by the state association of Garden Clubs and so the lilac while not sponsored by a Lilac Club as yet, is at least represented by e state lilac committee of which Douglas Walton ii secretary and myself, chairman.

As a lilac committee, we have had many unofficial sessions. first Job was to comb the United States for lilac information such as books, pamphlets and catalogues, so we could establish a lilac library. We found out that only three books had been written on lilacs in America. These are; "The Lilac," by Susan Delano, 1928; "Lilac Culture," in John C. Wister, Orange-Jud1930-3Lilacs in My Garden," Alice Harding, MacMillan, 1933. Unfortunately, all these books are out of print and not available, showing clegrly that plants, no matter how fine, need organized support in a modern garden world.
