While attending the annual Homemakers' festival Wednes day we learned front Mrs. How ard Ash that it does not destroy the tiny .native lavenor orchid plants when the blossoms are picked. Having heard, and read, for many years that such was true, we were shocked to see dozens and dozens made into corsages for women at the fesi tival, and expressed surprise. Mrs. Ash picked tne orchids from a bed in the Elk creek dis trict, and reported that she has picked them from the same spot since she was a child. Mrs. Ash cautioned, however, that ex treme care must be used since the little bulbs pull from the ground easily, which does mean that no orchid will grow the coming year. Others near-by con tributed the information that some of the stem and leaves must be left also, to feed the bulb, as is the case with domestic bulb flowers. We accepted gratefully one of the little orchid corsages, and put the flowers in a tiny pitcher at home in the hope that they would last for a time. We also were most pleased to be given one of the bouquets used to deco rate the hall. Several of these were made up of the huge laven der or purple parrot tulips from the garden of Miss Claire Hanley combined with stalks of daphne Somerset. This variety of daphne was new to us, also. Thursday we learned from Mrs. Merton Lyster the name of the most interesting shrub with white blossoms which Mrs. L, D. Inskeep and Mrs. Martin Sands had used in decorating the tables for the luncheon of Med ford Council of Church Women. (Mrs. Lyster, kind soul that she is, had forgiven us for mixing her up with one of her close friends when we identified the women in a picture recently.) Mrs. Lyster said tne shrub was double file viburnum tomento- sum (we guessed at the spelling) a variety of what is commonly called snowball, and that the blossoms grow as they were shown in the flower arrange ment, and had not been stripped, as someone had said at the A call to Mrs. Inskeep confirm ed this information, and she add ed that it is not a new shruo, as so many thought, but actually quite an old type. Mrs. Inskeep remarked that often shrubs or flowers blooming in the yard are ignored by everyone until picked and combined with some thing to give them drama and interest. She said most flower ar rangers strive for this dramatic effect in either color or line, or both. This was true of two arrange ments we saw later in the week. At the Zonta club dinner Thurs day night the centerpiece of the speaker's table was of white stock, yellow daisies and laven der lilacs, with tall, very slender yellow candles jmong the flow- ers. . -mKB Friday afternoon at the tea which Methodist women gnve for Mrs. Clarence Meeker, a dis tinctive flower arrangement hau been worked out by Mrs. Everett Faber. Mrs. Faber used one of the metal fountain containers on large round mirror. Around the tiny fountain she arranged lavender columbine and other smaller blossoms and the con tainer was encircled with deep green candles embedded in clust ers of pink cherry blossoms. r or-- Cf 117 S.

Item from the past: Browsing through a May 11, 1922 copy of The Mail Tribune, the following news release turned up from Santa Rosa, Calif. "A controver sy over the question of whether Mrs. Thornberry Close, princi pal of the Rinconville school here, should be compelled to re sign because she powders her nose and wears skirts eight inches from the floor has result ed in the resignation of two of the three members of the school board of trustees." "Youth is broad-minded," said Miss Truida Duyvendak of The Hague, Netherlands, speaking at the Homemakers," festival Wed nesday. "The youth of the world will broaden our horizons if we give them a chance." That youth is not bound by tradition was demonstrated at Medford Senior High school last night when a girl who is married and the mother of an infant daughter was crowned queen of the an nual Junior-Senior prom. The student is Mrs. Charles Chit- wood, the former Barbara Van Sickle, a beautiful and popular brunette. O. S. Sunday.

An Everlasting Tribute Siskiyou Memorial Mausoleum CREMATORY and URN SPACI Cremation $45.00 Phone 2-2344, Siskiyou Memorial Park r The Zonta dinner was a pleas ant event, with the naming of Mrs. G. Q. D'Albini as "Woman of the Year" the highlight of the evening. One of our table com panions was Miss Eula Winter- mote, who regaled us with a story told' following a recem banquet for dairymen held in a local hotel. The tables were loaded with good dairy food, milK, t... .., yoghurt and what have you. b" horrors of horrors, the pat of "spread" were the wrong snapu. One of the dairymen made a pointed inquiry of a waitress, and soon the "spread" was re placed with another kind, with pats of the correct shape. m m On the program for the recent fellowship luncheon of Medford Council of Church Wonpen were a numoer ox cmiaren, wnu, wun their mothers, demonstrated some of the family worship ideas used in Medford homes. One of the youngsters was small Larry Dierdorff, who with his brother, Todd, and his mother, Mrs. G. A. Dierdorff, demonstrated the story-telling and prayer hour which precedes bed-time at the Dierdorffs. In explaining the idea to the two little boys, Mrs. Dierdorff suggested that they wear their pajamas, since it was a bed-time scene. Larry, who is six, con sidered this for some time' and then asked, "will the ladies wear pajamas too?" When informed that they wouldn't, he forthwith refused to wear his, evidently having strong ideas on pi-oprvety. Worse yet, when the scene was being enacted ana ft came time for Todd, 4, to say his prayer, he balked. Later he explained that prayers were always follow ed by going to bed, and he wasn't going to bed In the middle of the afternoon. Picture-taking turned out to be more than ordinarily interest ing last week. The weekly stint of shutter-snapping included a trip over to Ashland and a visit at Susanne Homes hall. The com fortable lounge at the hall, which commands a fine view of the hills to the east, was filled with students enjoying a half hour of loafing following the noon meal. After the Mothers' week-end committees had been taken, the reporter-photographer team mov ed on to the home of President and Mrs. Elmo Stevenson. At Mrs. Stevenson's suggestion, she and her older daughter, Rose mary, were posed in the garden. While not extensive, the sarden is of more than ordinary interest because it 1 located on two or three levels, the Stevenson home being on one of the steep hills on which most Ashland resi dents must build their homes. One of the beautiful eights in the garden was a pink clematis. espauerea against one of the white walls of the house. The blossom were not as large as we remembered the more famil iar purple clematis to be, but were an exquisite sight against me white wall. The trip over and back wa enlivened by Mrs. J. R. Smith, president of Southern Oreaon College Mothers' club, who went along in order to be photograph ed with her daughter, Sidney. Mrs. smun i stories of her fa ther, the late William L. Green. leaf, were particularly interest ing. Mr. Greenleaf wa a well known Shakespearean scholar and reader, and Mrs. Smith told how he dramatized entire plays from memory, enactina everv character in the cast In turn and holding the attention of his au diences as completely as would Flowers for Mother Corsage Potted Plants Camellia Aialea MARSHALL Nursery & Florist i:m ft Ntwtnra .
