Turley stated that his present
plan would be to add other mem

mittee for this purpose.
Matter of funds for expenses
came up for lengthy discussion.
It was decided that since the
amount of money needed would
be small, the matter could be left
up to the constitution and by-laws
committee.
A spirit of harmony and good
will among the members was
noticeable throughout the eve-
ning. It was stated that this ap
peared to indicate a highly suc
cessful future for the organiza
tion, especially in this area.

Caravan Of 61 Garden Lovers Visited
Flower Show, While On National Tour
A caravan of state officers of garden clubs from 41 states, headed
for Portland, where this week a national convention will be held,
stopped for an hour and a half Saturday to visit the annual fes
tival flower show. Most of these people, experts in garden club
activities, avowed that they had never seen any show, except
in commercial centers, which compared for flowers and displays.
Especially did the group like«
