FLOWER EXPLOSION
The poet has written "What is
so rare as a day in June?" But
he lived about a thousand miles
north of where I live and I might
say that it all depends upon
where you live that determines
what day is rare We have read
or heard much recently about the
population explosion today—to
be exact the last day but one of
March when these lines are writ
ten—I can see what I would call
a flower explosion all about me
The roadside is turning green
and pecan trees which according
to old tradition are never caught
by the cold are budding a robin
redbreast has appeared and then
gone on toward the north and
other birds are busy about the
place And the flowers! All over
our city the azaleas are in full
bloom blue phlox pansy violet
iris calendula daffodil and else
all these make a flower explosion
that should not alarm any of us
You will bear in mind that I
am writing a month in advance of
your reading What more can be
said of the floral beauty that
greets your eyes as you may look
off from the reading? And you
should be prepared to receive the
lesson the Master emphasized
when he said: "Consider the Mies
of the field how they grow They
toil not neither do they spin and
yet I say unto you that Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these"
LIFE IN AN APARTMENT AT 65
HOW TO DO BETTER ON A PENSION
Agay and adventurous retire-
ment is within the reach of a
couple who comes up to age 65
with an income of $232 a month
and no home of their own
The Walter E Frank lins are
pretty well proving it
The Frank lins had lived in the
same two-bedroom city apartment
for 18 years They couldn't afford
to hold to it at $125 a month
- but they were afraid to give up a
neighborhood that had been their
life for so long
And there were complications
"Mama and I bad dreamed for a
long time about living in Mexico
when retired" Mr Franklin
says "Partly because it is cheap
living but mainly because we
wanted to study and explore the
country Mexico is a fascinating
land and its people are kind
"But we investigated the coun-
try on my last three-week vaca-
tion We saw that most of the
Americans there were Well-off
people who were usually organ-
ized into exclusive little colonies
where we wouldn't fit We dis-
covered there Is a lot of red
tape and that there are priva-
tons when a couple gives up the
States for a life in a foreign
coultry "
They explored the next best
thing—South Texas just over the
Rio Grande River from Mexico
where they could do what they
wanted to do in Mexico by getting
In their car and driving and at
the same time keep the United
States
This was in the spring of 1962
By August of that year they had
sublet the apartment to three
unmarried women teachers in a
grammar school—for the nine-
month school term
"We went to McAllen Texas
shortly before we gave up the
lie hath dispersed abroad he hath given to Me poor
His righteousness remains forever
—Psalms 112:9
THURSDAY MAY 14 Mt
apartment" Mr Franklin says
"and explored up and down the
Rio Grande Valley We found
we could get permanent parking
for a ' trailer in a trailer park
for $30 a month including utill-
ties We ran across some dandy
second-hand trailers we could have
for $5500
"We went back home and I -
cashed in my life insurance for
$6900 We checked the teachers
into the apartment took off for
the Rio Grande bought our
trailer and settled down until the
following June "
Now 20 months out into re-
tirement the Franklins think
they've got it made They say
their basic living expenses are
running under $200 a month in-
eluding the $30 to the trailer
park They are losing interest in
the apartment back in the city
which is still sublet—it wasn't too
satisfying last summer when they
went back for three months and
It was expensive "It's funny how
a home and a neighborhood that
had been your life so long can
fade away if you leave it" Mrs
Franklin says "But I think this
happens only 'when you go to
some place that is absorbing and
pleasing which we certainly
have found the Mexican border
to be I think we'll give up the
apartment this summer"
"And we're having adventures
we'd never have back there" he
explains "At least once every
two months we're over in Mexico
talking and buying and looking
and having fun Being five min-
utes from a foreign country is
far more stimulating than a city
park"

We have all heard the expres-
sion that "God loves a cheerful
giver" Some of us think it refers
only to the money we give to
Worthy causes
No matter how rich or poor we
may be as individuals each of us
has much to give We can give
hope happiness and a helping
hand to someone in need
We can give to children the
great example of a good Chris-
tian life We can give to friends
and associates a measure of good
faith in the conduct of our busi-
ness and social activities
We can give happiness some-
times at the cost of nothing
more than a smile We can give
hope sometimes at the cost of
nothing more than a friendly
word
Whenever we give whatever
we give we unfailingly get some-
thing in return—happiness and
hope for ourselves
