Nichol spoke for a meeting of Phoenix Garden club March 11 on "Flow er show practices and the pres ervation of cut flowers." Mrs. Nichol said that it is difficult to get flowers to a show in good condition, and suggested that a box be used, placing the stems of flowers toward the center. She also suggested that ice cubes could be used to help keep the flowers fresh, and that plas ticene bags could cover the blooms. Ice cubes can also be used in a container with an ar rangement, instead of water which spills easily. She also gave a number of suggestions on how to make a show more pleasing to all visitors. Mrs. Cora True, Ashland, then spoke on the preservation of ma terials to be used in dried ar rangements, explaining that dif ferent shades can be attained by picking the materials at differ ent stages of development.

To Attend Meeting Central Point The child guid ance study group of Central Point Parent-Teacher association has announced that it will join other child study groups in at tending the Jackson county child guidance group meeting Wednesday, March 16. The meet ing is set for 10 a.m. at the YMCA. Mrs. O. T. Wilson, chairman of the Central Point group, asks j that all mothers attend if pos-l People all over the world have their eyes turned toward America, according to Dr. Ros engrant. They constantly in quire what and how America is doing and form their impres sions of us accordingly, the speaker said. In spite of this, many Americans in foreign countries persist in "throwing their weight around," are pat ronizing, and are far too im patient which is not at all good, he added. "Peace is a neces sity, and goodness is the only practical idea that will work wherever you go," continued Dr. Rosengrant. One of the most frightening results of his travels was when he came back into the United States and saw. the indifference of the people and their lack of desire to belong to the human race, Dr. Rosengrant said. He stated that "we are a part of the universal family whether we like it or not." In closing, Dr. Rosengrant said that there will be no peace in the world unless the hearts and minds of the people find their way to Christ and use His principals and practices in their daily living. Dr. D. Kirkland West, pastor of First Presbyterian church of Medford, spoke briefly before he introduced Dr. Rosengrant to the audience, who was his guest for the evening. Dr. West urg ed parents to attend the church of their choosing, and partici pate in its activities if they wish a Christian life for their chil dren.

Miss Audrey Brist presented four violinists from the school orchestra. They were Betty Kyker, Sharon Smith, Lennie Jacobs and Ruth Ann Milligan. The four played several selec tions and Betty Kyker played a solo. Robert Baccus, principal of Jackson school, explained to the parents the regulations concern ing the children coming into the building when school is not in session. He told them that the children are kept on the play ground during good weather un til school takes up unless there is some legitimate reason for their being inside, but in in clement weather they are al ways allowed to be in the build ing. It was Mr. Baccus' feeling that there had been a misun derstanding on the part of some of the parents regarding these regulations.
