"Huge steaks that would spill over the edges of our plates are the thing," he said to those at tending the luncheon meeting. Kangaroos, dingos (wild dogs), and rabbits were cited as men aces on the range. Kangaroos come In about 20 different var ieties In the country and travel up to about 40 miles per hour.

The gem displays that the var ious clubs and individual mem bers from the northwest submit ted were simply wonderful, and Mrs. George Miller gave descrip tions of many of these displays. The veisatility and artistry In the use of the rocks is hard to describe. Showcase after show case of beautiful crystals, pol ished slabs of agate, wood, opal, obsidian, etc., and all around the walls of the building were the dealers' tables with their "tempting wares." Some rock hounds have per-1 fected the art of making min la lure furniture, buildings, car rlages, and animals from gem material. Even picture frames had gone to the rocks some frames were made of agatlzed wood and they were lovely. Then there were the coffee tables and end tables with tops of brilliant gem stones; and several table tops were of square and rec tangular pieces of light colored agatized wood (resembling oak in pattern) and they looked like inlaid pieces of wood beautiful both in workmanship and de sign. There were lamp shades covered with very thin slices of colorful agate, and pictures made with pieces of rocks carefully fitted together. A Pendleton wo man made some pictures that really took my eye the pair of seahorses were very intricate with small chips of rocks fas tened to plywood cut in the shupe of the seahorses.
