TIIONE 5-2882 COOPER BROS. Your Foul-Weather Friends (Register-Guard photo, Wiltshire eng.) IN THE SPRING A GARDENER'S fancy turns to plants and flowers. These men, members of the Rhododendron and Camellia Society of Eugene, admire a rhododen dron in bloom at the residence of Del James, 2008 Floral Hill Drive, at left. Dr. Charles D. Thompson is at right. They are planning a flower show May 2 coinciden tal with the opening of the Hendricks Park Rhododendron Garden. Rhododendron Gardens Scheduled to Open May 2 Eugene city park officials and members of the Men's Rhododen dron and Camellia Society have announced plans for opening the Hendricks Park Rhododendron Garden Sunday, May 2. The garden is located on seven acres, of city-owned land which served as the old deer pens on a prominent oak knoll in the north west section of Hendricks Park. It has been maintained-by the city department of public parks and recreation for the past three years and has grown increasing ly with each succeeding year. To date the garden contains many hnusands of evergreen and de ciduous azaleas, camellias, rhodo dendrons, and other high-qualily plants and shrubs. The garden is rapidly becom ing, according to W. Riley Mats ler, superintendent of the city bureau, one of the most out standing place of its kind on the West Coast. Members of the gar den club and their friends have donated the many thousands of plants, and no city tax funds have seen paid for them, according to Matslcr. On May 2, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Society members will be on hand to explain the purposes of the garden to the public, to help in conducting tours, and to discuss care of the type of plants An Extra-Firm Mattress Helps Banish Backache More than 30 of all of the people in the United States have bone and joint structure in their j backs that isn't normal, accord-! ing to medical authorities. Thej majority of them were Dorn wnn. it. However, doctors reassure, the fact that their backs are dif ferent shouldn't cause most of them any serious trouble pro vided they don't strain or injure their backs. It's well to rememher that backaches can be both caused and aggravated by worn-out or inferior bedding. Consequently, bed boards are a poor solution. They do nothing to change the lack of support in a poor mat tress Ihey simply cancel tne action of the bedspring. Anyone plagued with frequent backaches should consult a spe cialist. If a thorough examina tion reveals no injuries, his best bet is to try switching to extra- firm bedding which provides ad ditional support and helps take the strain off of "weak" backs. which are being planted and maintained in the garden. There are now about 25 mem bers in the Society. President is Dr. John MacKinnon, secretary treasurer is Paul Beistel. The members are constantly at work to increase the plantings in the garden; and some of the speci mens have been imported from as far away as England and China. Through cooperation of park and Society members, all plant ings are being maintained at a high level of quality. Emphasis is being placed on growing of flowering plants with a strong emphasis on rhododendrons and camellias. The main purpose of the gar den, according to Society spon sors, is to provide a place of beauty which will offer educa tional and recreational oppor tunities to Eugene citizens. Society members in charge of various aspects of the May 2 flower show are Dr. Charles D Thompson, publicity; Merle Saunders, general chairman: Marshall Lyons, exhibits; Dr. Royal Gick, chairman of judges: Del James, chairman of classifi cation; and W. P. Riddlesbargcr, chairman of wholesalers ' exhibits. The flower show will be free to the public. Society members and city park officials have sug gested that women visitors on May 2 wear low-heeled shoes to permit easier walking through the garden. From ' the rim of the garden, located high above the city, spec tators can see a major portion of Eugene. Drapes Good Way to Decide Color Scheme A homemaker about to decide on the room colors for a home decoration job is often a woman plagued by uncertainty. She knows tnat she likes reds or blues or greens or yellows, but she needs expert help in choosing one or two other colore to com bine with her favorite. An excel lent way to ike sure your color scheme is harmonious is to select a good fabric and use the colors of the design. This will create a whole exciting color-right scheme. Professional decorators often use this method in planning their rooms. When a homemaker takes her color cues from a fine drapery fabric, she can have confidence that the color combination has been chosen by top-notch design ers and color experts. Dual Purpose Bedding Nov Slim, Sleek Completely new concepts In design have been incorporated in the dual purpose sleep equip ment which will be fealured at stores throughout the nation this May during "Better Bedding Time." To satisfy the demand for good-looking furniture that pro vides round-the-clock service in today's smaller, more compact home, the latest double duly bedding replaces heavy, cumber some items that shriek their dual ity with a wide variety of slim, sleek lines to suit any taste. Among the innovations are sleep sofas with trim, tapered backs that combine equally good seating and sleeping qualities, but belie the fact that they are anything but handsome conven-! tional pieces. Equipped with comfortable innerspring or latex j mattresses, they open into double beds. Companion chairs are avail able for the lady who desires a matching living room suit. Another note-worthy style re finement is the increased use of wrought iron, brass and brass ferruled wood in arm detail and tapered legs. Bumper ends in dual purpose sleep sofas also are coming into greater prommance; in both round and square design. Patterened after "California styled" upholstered furniture, they appear in two-tone as well as solid fabrics, generally metal lic threaded, and frequently double as upholstered tables. To take advantage of corners and offer greater possibilities in furniture arrangement, sectionals form twin beds. Modernizing the old trundle bed, there is a studio couch with an undercarriage that swings out to form a second sin gle bed. Left out as a right-angular "sectional unit," it can also be used for extra seating. New dual purpose designs also offer relief for the lanky man formerly forced to choose be tween sleeping in an uncomfor table, cramped position and let tins his foot dangle in thin air.
