Woolery Memorial Park Approved By Council The Woolery Memorial Park (lone City Park) will be regis tered in the Memorial Gardens booklet of the National Council of State Garden clubs, if the lone Garden club's application is accepted. The lone City Council, at their business meeting on January 7, designated the citv nark as a memorial to J. A. Woolery, doner or the awxi50 loot area in the downtown district. Three and a half years ago a marker in mem ory of Mr. Woolery was placed in the park by Willows Grange. I he granite stone from the vicin ity of lower Eightmile was chis eled out by Oscar Lundell, who was an old-time friend of Mr, Woolery. The lone Garden club estab lished a planting of shrubs and chrysanthemums aro u n d the marker with funds donated by members of the Woolery family. Members of the club tree plant Ing committee, Mrs. F. T. Martin, Mrs. Ronald Bishop, Mrs. Phil Emert, Mrs. Fannie Griffith and Mrs. E.lbe Akers, are maintain ing the planting. The city park has a long his tory to tell. It has been an oasis for many a weary traveler, including Indians and gypsies, during its sixty years of exis tence. At times it became for gotten. It was in a run-down condition when the lone Garden club was organized in 1949 with its main project being to recon struct this park. Beds of iris, lilacs, and other flowers that do well in this area, made a showy corner on main street. A hedge of 100 Caragana was planted as a windbreak.

A fireplace was built, four picnic tables and eight benches were donated by individuals and organizations. Garden club members watered, cultivated, planted, seeded lawn, fertilized, raked leaves and hired the lawn mowing done until the city agreed to maintain it in 1956. Since then the second half of the donated area was cleaned up, grass seeded and a sprinkler system installed. Then during the winter of 1962, the removal of old, dangerous trees reduced the shady area.

Club Sponsors Tree Burning, Tree Planting The postponed Twelfth Night burning of Christmas trees was held on Tuesday -evening, Jan uary 14, following the regular meeting of the lone Garden club, sponsors of the annual celebra tion. High winds prevented the burning on January 6 (twelve days after Christmas or Twelfth Night). Following group singing of "O Come All Ye Faithful" Rev. Walter Crowell, minister of the United Church of Christ, spoke of the purpose of the event. A final tribute is given to the Christmas tree that has held a significant spot in every home during the Christmas season. After prayer, a song, and in the light of the brightly burning trees attended by Eldon Tucker, cupcakes were distributed to ap proximately 40 children and adults, by the garden club com mittee, Mrs. Omar Rietmann, Mrs. Ralph Crum and Mrs. Edith Nichoson. Mrs. Ralph Crum, vice presi dent, presided at the January meeting of the lone Garden club in the absence of its president, Mrs. Oscar Lundell.

Mrs. Vida Heliker spoke on "Planting by the Moon," by us ing signs of the Zodiac, which is an interesting theory proven successful by many gardeners and farmers. Mrs. Carl Bergstrom reported on the Pea Fowl (Peacock) and Mrs. Phil Emert told about owls and hawks. The Gray Horned inhabits this area and is consid ered destructive, but the good it does in destroying rodents, etc, much outweighs the harm it does. Wanton shooting of owls and hawks are causing their ex tinction. They help keep the small bird population in balance. Mrs. Fredrick Martin brought the arrangement for the day. Mrs. Heliker received the door prize. At a recent meeting, the street tree planting committee decided not to plant any trees this spring. Replacements will be made next year when new street plantings can be made, following new city water-main installatoins.

For Your Protection Turner, Van Marter and Bryant Answers Your Insurance Questions QUESTION: Why should a person who is very careful and watchful of the upkeep and repair of his property pay out good money for this com prehensive personal liability insurance? There is a pretty slim chance of a chargeable accident on well kept up property. ANSWER: Accidents on the insured person's property are only a small part of the cov erage of the liability insur ance you mention. This is a low cost insurance which cov ers the actions of the insured person and his entire house hold at home and away from home and many many oth;r things. Everybody should have it.
