In The Garden | With The Children By MRS. DAVID W. SPRY (This article marks the resump- tion of a series interrupted some time ago. Mrs. Spry is a sister of Governor Arthur H. James.) The fate of our beloved land lies in the hands of our children and they await inspiration from their elders. The love and care of a garden in early life will give color to the child’s whole life. Our land must be saved from everything that would destroy its na- tural beauty and abundance. Save our children, and our life will be safe. Our aim in teaching gardening to the children should be to bring them plea- sure, show them a place where they will find beauty, smell the fragrance of the flowers, hear the songs of count- less birds and find themselves closer to God through His beauty and abun- dance. A child in a garden! What a lovely sight. The flowers seem to blossom more sweetly when the baby stoops to smell, though he soon obeys the natural impulse to pull buds and blossoms. One should begin when the baby is one or two years old, by taking him in- to the garden and getting him ac- quainted with its countless wonders. When about three years old he should be given his own miniature rake, hoe, shovel and watering can. Give him a little pail and spoon and let him play in the soft, unplanted soil, filling the pail and spilling it. Let him play until he wants a change. He is learning to use his tools. When the child can handle tools, give him some large seeds that he can handle and that are of a quick growth. Then the fun will begin. When five or six years old, the child can be di- rected in selecting seeds that will give him flowers and vegetables during the whole season and by the time he is twelve years old he will be able to plan his garden and assume its full responsibility. With gardens of their own, children become protectors of nature, instead of ravagers. This is the time to have a plan for your garden and with the aid of a good seed catalogue or garden book and your garden enthusiasm you will find the fascination for growing things bringing you constant joy.

They are the parents of Mrs. Elmer Herring of Dallas. Mr. Kibbler deserted his old arm- chair and pipe, sang, entertained his guests with anecdotes, and otherwise was the life of the party. And Mrs. Kibler, who may well be one of the best cooks in Wyoming County, served a grand Pennsylvania Dutch supper to her assembled sons and daughters. acre farm at South Run since 1889, soon after their marriage in Stoddarts- ville. Both are of Pennsylvania Dutch stock. Mrs. Kibbler is the former Mary Dieter of Stoddartsville, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Dieter. Her father was a Union soldier in the Civil War and her mother, Lucy Dieter, died in Wilkes-Barre a few weeks ago at the age of 97. Mr. Kibbler was raised in the home of his step-father, Charles Dotter of Stoddartsville. Their former home, a large, 11-room farm house, burned down 40 years ago and they now live in a smaller dwell- ing on the old site. Mr. Kibbler still works his farm with the help of a son, Arthur, his next-door neighbor. For years one of the best hunters in this section, Mr. Kibbler bagged a deer last fall, but lost it when a group of hunters reached the animal first. Not discouraged, “he’ll go out next year again.” He hasn’t made up his mind whether he’ll go fishing this spring or not. He has enough stuffed prize trout about the house, anyhow. 7 He Is 70, His Wife 69 Both Mr. Kibbler and his wife are in fine health and good spirits. He will be 70 shortly and his wife is a year younger, and both of them figure they’ll be around for several years yet, as old age runs in their families. They have nine living children, three boys and six girls. One son, Eugene, was killed in France during the World War, and two other boys died in in- fancy. The Kibblers have 21 grand- children and five great grandchildren. Until the death of Mrs. Kibbler’s moth- er, there were five generations of the family which used to gather every summer for the annual reunion at the Kibbler home. © Among the sons, daughters, grand- children and other guests who attended the Golden Anniversary party were Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Herring of Dallas, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Brown and children, Ruth, Gerald, Nancy and Donnie, of Wyoming and Pete Tate of Forty Fort; Mr. and Mrs. George Gentner and son, Junior, of Ilion, N.
