Any work done under the garden club leadership is public benefit and should have public - assist ance. Tn iqan.

Let's "Keep Or egon Clean and Green." A national project of the Fed eration of Garden Clubs is that of roadside markers, which ex tends from Maine to the Pacific, from Mexico to Canada, ana re onani7Pri as the "Blue Star High way."

These tiny parks are set with shrubbery, wild flowers, etc, The Federation in Oregon re cently purchased an acreage of myrtle woods which was present ed to the State of Oregon in ac cordance with their "Save the Myrtles" program. Officers from the State Feder ation of Garden Clubs were sent to our legislature in support of clearing our public highways of unsightly and extremely danger ous signboards, but unfortunate ly the advertisers had their lob byists out in strength to fight the gardeners. They lost but are by no means licked. It seems strange that the deal ers of drinks, foods, footwear and clothing, etc. don't realize that people know when they are in need of their various wares without having them flung in their faces when they are just getting in view of one of nature's beauties. Morrow county was well repre. sentcd at the convention with at least five delegates. The state enrolled 300 with 183 as voting delegates. o ; CHURCHES CHRISTIAN-CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Lexington 8 LEWIS G. WETZEL, Pastor Sunday school hour, 9:45 a. m. Classes for all ages.
