Wax Recommended for Marble-Topped Tables A little wax will keep marble topped tables looking .beautiful, according to Myrtle Carter, home furnishings specialist at Oregon State college. A marble surface, especially if it is highly polishedj will accept very little wax, she says. But the wax does help prevent the accumulation of dirt and stains, and it delays , scratches 'and tains. For light marble, she recom mends a natural paste wax. And for darker types, a colored wax. Natural wax may be colored with colors-in-oil. You can get these in small tubes. Wax the marble by placing a small amount of wax between several layers of cloth. Apply a thin coat in a circular motion, then buff the surface. A brick can be put inside a woolen cloth or an old piece of carpet to be used as a buffer. IF ' "A Wandering Minstrel I" . . . Nanki-Poo played by Gene Brown, Ashland, rehearses his song of love with which he woos Yum Yum, Tresa Matlock, Medford. All this is from "The Mikado." to be presented at Southern Oregon college March 3, 4 and 5.

LANOLIN PLUS! Oregon Trees Topic for Club In Butte Falls Butte Falls A conservation talk on Orego trees was given by Mrs. Harry Dalton at the last meeting of Butte Falls Federated Garden clubs. Her information was taken from "Trees to Know in Oregon," by Charles R. Ross, and "A Pocket Guide to Trees," by Rutherford Piatt. The Douglas fir, Oregon state tree, is not a true fir. Its scien tific name, "pseudotsuga taxi folia" means "false hemlock with yew-like leaves." It is easy to identify because of its "pitch forks," thin three-pointed bracts that protrude between the scales on its cones. The middle point is longer than the other two. In general appearance Douglas fir resembles the true firs and spruces, but Douglas fir cones hang down from the branches and fall to the ground intact while the cones of the true firs stand erect on the branches and break up into many pieces and fall to the ground. Douglas fir needles are soft and usually blunt on the ends. These firs are used extensively for Christmas trees, as well as supplying two-thirds of the tim ber cut in the northwest. The Ponderosa pine is Oregon's num ber two tree. Other useful trees are sugar pine, lodge pole pine, Port Orford cedar, western red cedar, Sitka spruce, western juniper and redwoods. Oregon also has "the unique four," namely the Oregon myr tle, madrone, golden chinquapin and the tanbark oak. Members were asked to com pete in a quiz concerning the identification of shrubs and trees and the spelling of flowers. Mrs. Ralph Conard read an ar ticle by Jessie Ash Arndt telling of the necessity of planned plant ings of gardens for the most sat isfaction. Suggested were "rich ness, through abundance in the planting; freshness through or der; strength through pattern and design; gaiety through hos pitality with many sitting places', eating and bathing for the birds, places for games and open places. Mrs. Clay Conley spoke on the accomplishments in the develop ment of the many varieties of pansy. A newcomer, the Felix, has dark "cat whisker" stripes radiating from the center in a yellow background instead of the usual velvety blotch in the throat. This is a start in a new design in pansies. A tour of the green house at the home of the hostess revealed an array of beautiful blooms in the midst of winter weather. Guests were Mrs. Brittian Ash, Mrs. Cecil Taunton, Mrs. Leslie Casey, and Mrs. Leonard Rich man, Butte Falls. Refreshments were served by the hostess, Mrs. Elga Abbott. -. - - Shady Cove Unit To Give Party Monday Afternoon Shady Cove Fourth in a se ries of card parties sponsored by the Shady Cove Home Ex tension unit will be held at noon Monday, February 21 at the home of Mrs. C.
