THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1948 Along Azalea Row This is to report that a little extra ballooning in the pride de- ■apartment of members of Azalea Garden club is not without justi fication. With the weather quite in reverse of sun-stroke indica tions, there were 72 including members and guests to applaud the program of our Christmas party—the program, one of the best of the season. The list of guests make 13 a lucky number. They were: From Portland -Mrs. Marshall Dana (also a member; from Polk county, Mrs. L. A.

G. May, and Mrs. Ida Hall of Smith River. Noted among the throng, the many trips of Mrs. Clara Mclndoe to the business section —the ‘‘bankers table:” of the financial chairman.

The Carol Singers, under di rection of Mrs. C. A. MacKenzie. in fact the entire musical pro gram deserve more than a cas ual mention. For this reason, Mrs. MacKenzie will be asked to take over this column in the future to tell us all about her work in this department. The five-minute talks on the horticultural symbols of Christ mas by Mrs. Miller, Mrs. McVay, Mrs. Hibbard, and Mrs. Hendry, were vignettes charming and full of information. To have contain ed all this information, reference, entertainment and to be so brief, took a lot of ‘‘doing.” Represented by her corsages and great general assistance to the financial ehiarman, though absent from the meeting, Mrs. Stonehouse. It is tô be hoped she may be with us in the future. Next meeting, Jan. 11, is the Azalea Garden Club’s birthday party, pre-view of the big annual flower fiesta and flower show, so keep an eye on “things growing’ as against that time. Thought for the Day “Nature may be a thing of beauty and is indeed a symphony, but—within its apparent quiet ness and changelessness, is an active, purposeful, co-ordinated machine. Each part is dependent upon another, all are related to the movement of the whole.
