Report Given On
Garden Club Meet
By MRS. MARY LUNDELL
The Federation of Garden clubs
convention held in Hood River
was made welcome by Vernon
Garrabrant, mayor.
In his address, Mr. Garrbrant
lamented that the budgets in our
smaller towns and villages do
nnt nermit of extensive improve
ments in the way of parks and
other public properties, but he
urged the garden clubs to keep
on with the work they are doing
in heaiiMfication of miblic as
well as private acreages; enlist
public minded citizens in raising
funds for carrying on their work.
Any work done under the garden
club leadership is public benefit
and should have public - assist
ance.
Tn iqan. Oreeon was chosen as
second state in the Union in pro
tection of national roaasiae
In the early 30's
90,000 trees, nine varieties in all,
were distributed to various com
munities at $2.00 per 1000 ana set
out by garden clubs.
Picnic grounds have been maae
possible through the garden clubs
and highway commission, cm
recently, the lone Garden club
sent its donation to tne council
for the purpose of more benches
and tables being placed in picnic
grounds forpublic use.
innlnr rlnhs have been organ

of unsightly trash.

moisture is sufficient to work out
the Keep Oregon Green program.
The gardeners have added to this
slogan. In their language u reaus
"Keep Oregon Clean and Green"
and suggests that picnic parties,
motorists, and the general pud
lie carry paper bags with them

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." Route 99 from California
to Washington has been assigned
to Oregon Garden clubs. The
highway commission chooses the

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.

least five delegates. The state
enrolled 300 with 183 as voting
delegates.
