S&oql Meret of rMonpiQutifi, V Independence Warned as lop News Story in Area for 1949 By Beulah Craven lUtHmu News Service MONMOUTH One of the most important happenings in Mon mouth during the year 1949 was the special school election which combined the districts of Monmouth, Independence, Valley View and Parker, into a large consolidated district. A later vote on a bonding issue . or construction approved a $400,000 issue for building a union high school midway between Mon moujh and Independence. The Gentemann farm of 40 acres was purchased for $16,000, as a school site, fronting on MonmpUth-Inde-pendence highway, and work is now. well underway on budding construction. - : Last fall the , building project made headline hews when the Sa lem Trades and Labor council, claimed jurisidicuon, which result ed in hauling cement from Salem for. a time at an additional cost of about $6,000. LNsme Sought In recent months, selection of a suitable name for the union high school has met with no success. Various names have been propos ed and discarded; among them be ing "Luckiamute," an Indian tribal name of unknown! meaning, (ac cording to Lewis A. McArthur's book on Oregon geographical names). The river of that name comes within four miles of Mon mouth, and is bridged at Helmick state park on highway 99-W, . ' As this streaih .conceivably, may be one on which the federal gov ernment will furnish mbhey for a conservation damsite, probably within the next 5 to 10 years, the name seemed applicable, because, if it becomes a federal project, it will have a place on the map and in history. However, the name did not meet with approbation ' from the school board when the commit tee authorized to propose names submitted them December J4 last Students Involved j Students of the schools involved have an Influential voice in the selection, it -is realized, for they are the people close in juxtaposi tion and relations With the school itself.

Interest has developed recently in "Butler High." , Two Butler families were instru mental in shaping Monmouth's earliest history. Ijra F. M. Butler, a native Kentuckian, came here in early days from Monmouth, Illi nois, and is said to have cast the deciding vote for the name "Mon mouth," in, a Monmouth-Dover tie vote. He was one of the founders of Monmouth university, which now is Oregon College of Educa tion. Butlers Famous Joseph Bfadley VarnunvButler; a native of New England settled here in 1852. He had been first dpsniralleim ion g Today By LUlie L. Msdsen It's a new new year. It should be a happy, one for gardeners. Gardeners who like, new . things are going to find it a particularly happy one. Cata loguers are start ing their ne w half - century with perhaps the 2 jHl . best selection in 3L ( f-O past decade, i v V.tfc tne past oecaae. i . . s In the all-Am- - - 3"ican rose selec- apistrano, a aig - flowered rich rose! pink. We have! Fashion, I a coral-pink with some golden lights; a rose of the floribunda type. We have Mission Bells, a hybrid tea, with its name out of a page of Califor nia history. It is salmon-pink, and reviewers who have seen it, tell us it is ,most exquisite." Sutter's Gold, the color of a gold nugget, is one I have marked for a "must" in my own garden for spring. New Zinnias Offered Then in zinniasthere is the new Floradale Scarlet, resembling the mums worn in football season. It is fluffy and ruffled and most at tractive. Cataloguers are offering seed for those who like to do their own starting early and the rest of us are .hoping that greenhouse folk, will be offering plants along in. May. . Of late, each year there has been a new petunia, and this year will not fail. We have Fire Chief, which is reported a "real red. In dications are that it will be very popular for borders. A new mar igold is, as its name implies, "Sunny." It is height anduitable for low edgings. Another new of fering is the sweetpea. Serenade. This is large flowered and salmon pink and white in coloring. New LuV Introduced New lilies are not introduced each year but there is a new one for 1950, and we will long remem ber that it was new this year as it has been named Mid-Centuryi It is a tiger lily type and grows rather tall, I am told. Jean is a new daylily which is going to be most popular wherever daylilies are used. 1 Too, it, will be an international year again. We have not had. top many offerings from other, coun tries since the war, but for 195(1 Scotland sends us Celestial Blue, a columbine about twice the size of the more common blue varie ties. s . y A flower that has I seen muc.h improvement in the past half cen tury, isf the one which grandmo ther called "pin cushion flower," but we call scabiosa.

Benjamin Spock, famous psychia trist advises parents to think nothing of it if their youngsters emit a cuss word now and then. "Mild profanity is a natural be havior in children over six years of age. It shows they are trying their wings in a bid-l or Independ ehce," he says. biick irr 1900. Well, we note that Frau Karl ; Druse hki, the pure white rose which still seems in- dispensible,"will, celebrate its 50th anniversary this year.- "And in spite of its 50 . years, it still chal Ienges the breeders of hewv roses to improve on its pure white qua lity. One of its parents, Mme. Caro line Tes tout, will be 50 this year, and we still find it popular in Willamette valley gardens. Anoth er seedling from Caroline is Mme.' Edouard Herriot,. introduced first in. 19 13, If it were not far Herri of s weak neck, you would have difficulty in finding a better rose in the coppery, shades. And she does hold &er head better now than she did in her earlier days. New discoveries in rose feeding have improved the Herriot. ; Too much jnitrogen makes ber bow her head even more: I . ' Garden landscaping has become somewhat more simple! in the aver rage home garden xuiring the past half century, fifty-year old books show us. We have gone more to sweeping lawn space-with only an occasional shrub or tree - spaced carefully to cut too long lines. We do not find the little round flower beds, the square, or, moon or star shaped beds so popular a, half century, ago. j - Arrangements' Change I Flwer arrangements and flow er shells gave us quite a change durmgjlhe past 50 years. ! A def inite change again, and one which to. me seems a very fine thange, has been . creeping in this past year. The trend has been toward more beauty and grace, away from the too obvious design such as has been prevailing for the past 10 er 15 years. The compositions in many of the better shows this past year have no.t been . as stiff and conscious. There has been - more freedom without reverting to the confusion of the type now termed- the "old kitchen bouquet." I for one twill enjoy the new trend of arrangement. It seems ea sier to live with. The flowers do not look so "wired," so (stiff and unbending. There" is more light ness and life in the new trend, and with these much more, natur alness which always tends to give comfort. , Happy New Tear " But in spite of new years, half centuries, inventions, the rush, the fuss, the stew, which like Yogi Yorgenson, makes one '"Yust Go Nuts at Christmas," the little plot outside yous own door still, hangs on tp' its certain sense of stability and proper proportion, Which no bureaus, committee, legislatures, congresses, can completely change. Cherries and peaches still refuse to ripen in outside Willamette val ley climate in January, j We still have to reckon with sun jandtfrost and perhaps snow and certainly a bit of rain, ar d this in spite of all the Brannans and yet even the Einstems.
