Twenty interested persons were Loeb State Park was an out- Harry Smith of Cave Junction who was then state president suggested the name of Azalea Garden Club, and brought out in her talk the importance* of be longing to the Federation of Gar den Chibs. She explained tha* much more could be acomplishcd by joining the federation. For instance, saving the myrtles on the Chet co River by forming the Loeb Stale Park was au out standing accomplishment of the Azalea Garden Club. This could not have lieen done without hr* aid <^f the federation. As the club got on its way, many different projects were discussed and carried out such as flower shows, plant sales, Vic tory gardens, 4-H scholarships, bird houses for juveniles; also helping with community proj- and the Azalea many other worthwhile projects too numerous to mention. These an* just a few to let th'* newcomers know that we arc not just a play and dress-up club, but really love our gardens and spend a great dea oil lime in them.

We here hate to see our lawns drying up, but it cou'd b< so much worse. One thing I noticed particu- larly on the Tour of Gardens last week is how very effective Mont- hretia are when grouped and used for a background. They need watching, however, or they will take over the whole garden.

At the Struebing home we were projected into spring of 1952 when we saw the hundreds of boxes of daffodil bulbs ready to be shipped. Fer year-round pleasure, there is nothing quite like a green vel vety lawn, which in this area is demonstrated by possible the grounds around the Swan home. * SMITH RIVER Family Reunion Held in Oregon 'I’he home of Mr. and Mrs. Al lred Hargreaves at Oswqgo Lake, Ore., was tin* scene of the annual gathering of a family reunion on Sunday, August 5. when the seven sisters and brothers, their chil dren and grandchildren of the late Daniel and Fanny Haight, pioneer settlers of Smith River present for the af- valley, fair.
