Annuals Topic
Of Club Session
In Jacksonville
Jacksonville "Old and N.ew
Annuals for the Garden," was
the topic of a talk given by Mrs.
Lawrence Luy at a meeting last
week of the Jacksonville Gar
den club. Roll call was answered
with information concerning
annuals.
It was announced that the
next project of the group will
be a combined plant, rummage
and white elephant 'sale to be
held April 1 in Medford.
"Litter Bug" stickers were
distributed for use on members'
cars denoting their cooperation
in not throwing trash along
highways. This is a statewide
project of the federated garden
clubs and Miss Claire Hanley,
Jacksonville, state president, is
stressing cooperation in this
respect.
Mrs. R. T. Nichol spoke re
garding "Ferns" and related
how native ferns may be re
moved to gardens with success.
Mrs. J. B. Noble, club histor
ian, gave a report on the club's
history since it was organized in
the spring of 1939, when it was
begun by 16 civic minded wom
en. Seven of the original group
still retain their memberships.
Mrs. Dee Hendrickson was
assisted in entertaining by Mrs.
Omar Culy and Miss Molly Ray.
The meeting was held in the
Garden club rooms and the tea
table was decorated with spring

Housewife Needs
Bigger Breakfast
Says
s Nutritionist
The lady of the house may
see to it that the family is well
fed, but chances are that she
doesn't eat an adequate break
fast herself. Miss Agnes Kol
shorn, extension nutrition spe
cialist at Oregon State colloge,
reports a recent survey that
shows many women still need
to improve their breakfast hab
its. Of more than 300 women sur
veyed in South Dakota, about
three-fourths had breakfasts
well below recommendations in
nutritive value. But women
living in the country tended to
have more adequate breakfasts
than those in cities and towns.
Eggs appeared on only one
fifth of the women's breakfasts.
Most popular types were these
four: (1) toast, roll or cereal and
coffee; (2) fruit, toast or roll or
cereal, and coffee; (3) fruit, both
toast and cereal and coffee; (4)
cereal, toast and coffee. Sixty
three per cent of the breakfasts
were of these four types all
without eggs.
Nutritionists usually agree
that breakfast should supply
from one-fourth to one-third of
the day's calories and proteins,
according to Miss Kolshorn.
They are convinced, too, that a
good breakfast pays dividends
in greater work efficiency and
less mid-morning fatigue.

American Women No Longer
Just "Back Seat" Drivers
By TERESA REESE
United Press Correspondent
Chicago (U.R) Women used
to be back seat drivers, and
quite a problem, but today"
they're driving. About 20 mil
lion of them.
L. Walter Lundell, head oi
an international auto financing
firm, said there are many rea
sons why the old jokes about
back seat drivers no longer ap
ply mostly to women "if they
ever did." ,
His figures' show there are
six million more women driv
ers now than before World War
II, a jump from 13,200,000 to
20,000,000.
Lundell, president of the Uni
versal CIT Credit Corporation,
said the main factors behind the
addition are "increasing equal
ity of the sexes and the me
chanical reliability of modern
cars."
Freedom Increased
The last world war, he said,
increased the freedom of wom
en and their assumption of re
sponsibility "and it's been hard
to keep some of them in a one-
car family ever since.
"You can be sure, he con
tinued, "that power steering,
automatic transmissions and
other features which make driv
ing easier have played a large
part."
He went on to recall how
manufacturers have aimed at
fashion-conscious Mrs. America
by dressing their cars up with
brightly colored exteriors and
matching interiors plus wash
able, colorful upholstery. Then
he really warmed to the sub
ject. "Sure, women are better driv
ers than men. Take my college-

Here a vice-president, Wil
liam L. Wilson, interrupted
gently.
"Wouldn't you say that wom
en are just more cautious, a lit
tle more polite, or even timid?"
he said.
"That may be," Lundell ad
mitted. "Many insurance com
panies rate young women as
much better risks than young
men because they don't try to
show off behind the wheel."
"Yes, some women are excel
lent drivers, but on the whole
do you think that women react
as well in emergencies or under
trying circumstances?" asked
Wilson.
"It's true that women don't
do the hard driving that men
do. I guess about all you can
say is that some women are
good drivers and some aren't,
and the same holds true of
men," said Lundell.
"But I still think my daugh
