Liberty Flower Show In California Said Colorful By Lillle L. Madsen Garden Editor. The Statesman SILVERTON "Colorful" is the word for it Mr. and Mrs. Rholin Cooley of Cooley Iris Gardens stated Friday night when they returned in time for dinner at Silverton after having lunched at Los Angeles at noon. The Cooleys flew down Tuesday to attend the Southern California Flower show which was held at Brookside park in Pasadena, and it was to this they were referring. Orchids predominated but there were colorful displays of all flow ers, they said In reference to the show. One whole house displayed orchids. The flower arrangement exhibit was also outstanding, Mrs Cooley said. "They have so many flowers to use which we do not,' she added in speaking of the extravagent arrangements. Rock gardens, too, were outstanding. Irises, now at the peak of their season were dis played outside on the hillside. Irises ; are doing better in the warm climate than at first -an ticipated, the Cooleys stated. The best of the Pasadena rose season was passed but many roses were still in bloom and were used in the arrangements with other flowers. To Willamette valley folk, who have not been accustomed to too summery weather this year, Mrs, Cooley said the Southern Califor nia weather was definitely "warm," It reached 100 degrees one day during their brief stay. Friday morning downtown Los Angeles was experiencing some what cooler weather than' it had had on Wednesday and Thursday There was some fog and some smog, she added. While there, they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Welch, west ern representative for "House Beautiful," at dinner with Dr, Joe Howland, garden editor for, the magazine, and Mrs. Howland: The Welches are frequent visitors at the Cooley Iris gardens at Silver ton. Local irises withstood the win ter very well and are coming along fine, the Cooleys said Fri day. However, it will be sometime before they reach their peak bloom at Silverton. i Records Show Curved Roads Dangerous Oregon drivers could save many lives annually by remembering that any moving object prefers to travel in a straight line, the state traffic safety division suggested Friday. Swinging wide on curves is the result of excessive speed and the cause of many head-on collisions, the division noted. More than 25 per cent of the accidents and one third of the Oregon fatalities oc-' cur on curves, indicating a need for greater respect on the part of motorists. The usual excuse of drivers in volved in collisions, the division declared is: "I thought I was on my side of the road." Officials said trouble on curves cannot be blamed on lack of knowledge since every driver is presumably aware of the danger. They added that too many appar ently believe the modern car can be safely handled on almost any curve, but the record shows inat tention and carelessness are as dangerous now as in the days when sharper curves were match ed by slower vehicles.
