While most people talk about things they don’t have and newspapers deal with the difficulties of rationing and the lack of potatoes, meat, rice, cigarettes and whisky, it is pleasing to note that Decatur has an abundance of flowers this year. The roses, all varieties, including the tea and climbing kind, are in great profusion this year. Those planted around the swimming pool are exceptionally beautiful this year. Trellises are loaded with pink, red and white roses and the average flower lover ia quite happy over , the exceptional blooms that grace his garden this year. The heavy rains, while not the best for farm turned the lawns verdant and the landscape in Decatur is one of the most attractive of any season in a decade. More flower beds have been developed throughout the city than in previous years, despite manpower shortages, lack of time aqd tiresonie days. Many persons stated they found relaxation through working in the flower beds and were amply repaid for their effort when the flowers budded and bloomed. “Yes, wo may not have no potatoes, but we got a lot of flowers,” one optimistic citizen gardener remarked. o , The District of Columbia has the smallest amount of railway mileage in the United States. Only 43 miles of tracks have ben laid in the capital area.
