Pi The Immediate dispatch of 50 obso lete American destroyers to Great Britain "right now" was urged by Niel R. Allen, Ore gon Legion commander, yester day. "Let's get those destroyers steamed up, put Canadians on to run them and send them over right now," he said in a talk be fore the Rotary club. The Legion commander said the selective service act was "the only democratic method of , raising an army" and declared 'all men ana an property In recent yean the Idea of flower arranging has become in creasingly popular among wo men everywhere. Indeed, with many, this is now their favor ite hobby. The possible combin ations and arrangements are endless and the fun comet in the originality with which one's own thought and personality can be expressed. Oliver Gustafson, manager of the Coca-Cola Bottling company of Medford, states. "Undoubted ly this interest In flower arrang ing is responsible for the phe nomenal popularity of a book called 'Flower Arranging A Fascinating Hobby,' recently published and being distributed by the Coca-Cola Company, At lanta. Ga." The book is written In a light and fascinating vein by Laura Lee Burroughs, one of the rec ognized experts in this field. Her ideas and suggestions are illustrated by 48 photographs of flower arrangements exquis itely photographed In full color. It is said that literally thou sands of flowers "posed" for their pictures before the final groupings were selected. At first glance you would think the flower combinations are only . for the experts, so strikingly beautiful are the ar rangements. But Mrs. Bur roughs comments simply on each grouping in a way that is very easy to understand and it isn't long before you begin to see that the only limit to the pleasure and variety of ex pression in th's hobby Is your own imagination Mrs. Burroughs sums up tne whole matter very neatly. "This book." she says, "is for flower lovers everywhere. It s for Aunt Jane who loves flow ers but never knows what to do with them; for the beginner who still thinks roses and as- paragus ferns are Inseparable; for the hostess of the little hotel where you stopped last sunr mer, who rarely has an oppor tunity to see what others are doing with flowers; for garden club members who have long been studying this subject: in short for every woman with few spare moments who wants to make her home a pleasanter place to live. "For flower arranging is a fascinating hobby. Why not try it? Once your enthusiasm and interest are aroused, you will never again be able to place flowers carelessly In a vase. You will develop a critical eye. You will want to make a beautiful picture instead of a haphazard grouping. For this hobby, tne size oi your budget doesn't matter. Use your ingenuity to create beauty with inexpensive material. Study line arrangements and learn to make few tiowers tell a story as eloquently as dozens. 'There are weeds along the roadside that need only to be touched by your imagination to add distinction to your living room. Common mullein has cap tured prizes in recent flower shows, to the great chagrin of floral aristocrats. Queen-Annes- lace can be as dainty as a bridal veil and pokeberry as modern as streamlining. "If you live In an eighteenth century house, you can make your arrangements as authentic as your highboy by massing them in containers of the per iod. "For that early American room, your flowers in copper lustre pitcher can be as quaint as your hooked rug. "If your home is Just com fortable, no particular style or period, let flowers add distinc tion. "Finally, if you are young and your house or apartment is modern, you can literally swing your flowers in the tempo of the times."

Foreign Ministers Count Gale azzo Ciano and Joachim von Ribbentrop, representing the two ends of the Rome-Berlin axis, lunched with the fuehrer and then took a plane for the capital of old Austria, there to meet the foreign ministers of Rumania and Hungary and their aides. Adding urgency to the peace making attempt were reports of Rumanian and Hungarian fron tier incidents and of bloody clashes between Rumanian and Russian forces. The unofficial guerrilla con flict involving red army forces occupying a large area of former Rumanian territory recently ceded to the Soviet union under lined Moscow's position as Inter ested in the outcome of the Vienna conference but uninvit ed. Spokesmen of the axis part ners were most anxious to tell the world that von Ribbentrop and Ciano would not browbeat the Hungarian and Rumanian representatives into signing on the dotted line any document prepared in advance. At the same time they left no doubt that differences between Rumania and Hungary must be settled quickly.
