lie schools and was an honor grad
uate from the Lynn English high
school in 1930. Early in the 1933
he left the depression-nddied East
and came to H arbor, w here he
worked most of the year on a
mink ranch on Benham Lane. In
1934 he enrolled in the CCC camp
at Pistol River, gaining his first
experience in road building under
the direction of Fred G ardner,
who was then in charge of con
struction. Flynn drove one of the
first trucks to the W ildhorse P ra i
rie Lookout. A fter a couple of
years as a salesm an in San F ra n
cisco and the Sacram ento valley,
Flynn retu rn ed , to H arbor, and
was one of the first haif-dozen
persons to plant Croft lilies, one
of the m ajor sources of income in
this area today. During this tim e
he also worked on the construe
tion of the Forest S ervice’s nar
row gauge road to Vulcan Peak
and O ’Brien, and also assisted in
the m aintenance of Forest Service
roads in the Chetco district.
Fred W Flynn was elected to
four term s as president of the
Croft Lily G row ers Association,
only leaving th at post in 1945 due
to a serious bout w ith TB, which
kept him inactive for about eight
years. U nder F lynn's leadership
the Croft Lily G row ers Associa
tion grew into a strong organiza
tion of grow ers intensely in teres’
td in an improved quality of pro
duct necessary to m aintain th
Brookings-H arbor reputation foi
first quality bulbs.
Flynn is m arried, and w ith his
wife, Dorothy, and tw o sons, lives
on Dodge A venue in Brookings
He is a m em ber of the Brookings
lodge of Elks, and a M aster Mason
of the Gold Beach Lodge No. 199.
A. F. & A. M. Flynn has been in
terested in various real estate
holding in the Brookings area
since 1940, and at one tim e w as a
w orking shareholder in the Brook
ings Plywood Corp. Flynn is well
acquainted w ith the problem s con
nected w ith county roads, having
w orked a year or m ore on the
m aintenance crew in the south
end of the county.
P ru n in g S e a so n N ear
It’s getting that tim e of the
year w hen gardeners th in k about
"cutting back th e ir shrubs. T aking
into account only tw o of our p re t
ties — hydrangeas and roses —
\
*1« «tit
these snould not be puned until
ALL the leaves are fallen. The
plant is then in full dorm ancy.
W ith hydrangeas, cut all dead
canes clear back to the base of
th e plant. For canes which have
bloomed the past season, cut them
back to about two or th ree nodes
above the ground. The nodes are
are the swollen appearing rings—
or almost rings—about the stem.
The tips of the new canes formed
last sum m er should be the ones
to bloom this coming season. If
th ere are too m any skinny ones
(resulting from previous lack of
pruning) thin them out to maybe
half. These w ill m ake you bigger
and b etter blooms on those re
maining.
G etting back to the cane, you
cut back to two or three nodes—
these
should
make
lux irient
growth of a new cane on either
side of the node and these will
grow on to form flow er beds for
th e following year’s blooms.
W ith your roses, when th ey ’ve
shed all th e ir ‘foliage and gone to
sleep, sneak up on them and lop
off everything that stick a foot
above ground. Here again you
m ay be governed by the nodes.
Leave at least one on the stem.
Of course, all the old w ood—the
old. dead, scraw ny wood, should
be cut clear back. Then in the
spring, supposing you feed them
heavy, you'll almost be able to
see the shoots grow, each v th a
: term inal bud and the result will
be fat ones on tne tips on long
stems. This advice, ot cours -, ap
plies especially to the tea or
shrub roses. For the cum bers,
heavy pruning, w ithin reason,
and la ter care, will assuie luxur-
ient growth, longer stem s and
larger buds and blooms.
Fundam entally, the above pro
cesses upset th e balance between
th at p art of the plant above
ground and th at beneath. Below
ground th ere are sometimes many
miles of tiny feeder roots hauling
in an abundance of grub, dem and
ing above surface grow th for its
digestion—leaves are the lungs ol
a p lan t—and the ultim ate repro
ductive of all biological plant or
anim al species.

T V Morse’s lack of prestige and influence among his
colleagues. They consider him a mere exhibitionist-
crazy for headlines, no matter how ridiculous he makes
himself to get them.
No wonder the tuiacoat Senator confessed sadly on
the Senate floor: “f am not very good at influence."
(Congressional Record, July 2, 1952)
N o wonder Morse remarked: "When 1 get 31 votes
in the Senate on something, 1 have had a heyday. . .
So said Morse before the House Judiciary Subcom
mittee on May 16, 1955. (It takes at least 49 votes to
pass a bill when all senators vote.)
Is this the kind of man you want to represent you?
Common sense says emphatically no.
