Sept. 25, in St. Patrick's parish hall. The district officers and visiting club members rated the meeting as "beautiful" and "Most outstanding" and the local members were pleas ed that their planning was appreciated. Connie Tellefson, the dis trict director, presided at the business session which began wrih an invocation by Rachel Jackson, immediate past dir ector and district chaplain. The assembly repeated the flat salute and the conserva tion pledge before Heppner's President Theta Lowe gave a short welcome. She stressed how much having the district clubs here meant to Heppner members who enjoyed the anticipation, the preparation, the communication and finally the participation. District officers and various committee chairmen were in troduced and ;ave reports. Director Tellefson distributed awards from the state federa tion meeting. Elaine Belts presented an interesting paper on Chinese Flower Ar ranging and described some of the principles which were de monstrated in the lovely Chi nese arrangements beinir, dis played by members of the Arrangers Guild. Members were informed about several new projects worthy of their support: the High Desert Museum near Bend, the new herb garden and gift shop near the Whit man National Monument out side Walla Walla and the state federation's campaign to pre serve the Columbia Gorge. Two instructive workshops were conducted before and after the luncheon served by the Altar Society. One-half of the group attended Dr. Wolff's presentation on gladiolus and one-half enjoyed Bill Rawlins' instruction on dahlias: the groups reversed their atten dance during the second workshop periods.

He said that gladiolus originated in Africa and were brought to Holland and Eng land in the 16th century from Capetown. Most of the popular varieties, however, have been developed in the last thirty years. He carefully described pro per soil preparation and planting, cultivation and watering. He cautioned that the emergence of the stem is a critical time and that when the first two leaves form the grower has to be there pretty constantly to see that the spikes develop in perfect shape. He told of the 13 pri mary diseases glads are prone to and said that up to as many as one third of the corms may need to be discarded. He answered many ques tions about the proper storage of the corms and about fertili zation and care of the plants. Dr. Wolff explained to this reporter that the noun "gladi olus" is officially both singu lar and plural name for these exciting glowers. The eager students who entered Teacher Bill Rawlins' classroom gave out many "Oh's" and "AhV as they admired the great display of brilliant dahlias, all Rawlins grown, in many sizes and forms, including one poor handicapped, cross-eyed, bad example. They learned that the dahlia is a native of Mexico and that the ancient Aztecs grew them to perfec tion. Presently growers are again producing flowers equal to those the Aztecs had. Dahlias come in every color except blue. They have a great variety of forms and range in size from extremely large to very dainty. Seedlings are all different, and any grower can thus originate a unique speci men. Rawlins told of planting and growing the flowers. In this area he suggested that they be planted about May 1 so that they will begin to bloom about August 1 and will continue blooming for about six weeks. Those planted earlier should be planted a little deeper than later plantings. "Dahlias love sunshine, not shade. They need six hours of full sun daily. An east -south exposure is best for them." He carefully discussed the digging, storage and dividing of the tuberous roots. He recommended digging soon Bargains o Hunting Season GONE HUNTING 1 676-9921 T- An ml Sat, Hill, after the first freeze, washing, storing where they don't get wet and watching the air circulation. He cautioned that rot and over-drying (shrink ing) are the most common difficulties. During the registration and coffeet ime before the meeting was called to roder and during breaks in the schedule, members shopped at the country store where plants, preserved foods, garden pro duce and assorted items were being sold to help bolster the district treasury. Several times during pauses in the meeting lucky persons were directed to choose door prizes from the collection of crafted items offered on a display table. Club membtis from lone and from Condon were espe cially helpful to the Heppner members during the busy day. It was announced that the Spring District Meeting will also be held in Morrov, County at lone. The two garden clubs in Pendleton will soon have their turn to host a state federation meeting. The masses of gladiolus and ( dahlias displayed at the work shops were generously given away by Wolff and Rawlins to individuals, churches and to the hospital.
