" " w SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Central Point Garden Club Show Honors Federation President . By IRENE ANHORN Central Point Many rem iniscences went through the minds of visitors to the spring flower show of Central Point Garden club Tuesday as they passed by old wagon wheels and lanterns under canvas cover and down a trail complete with split rail fences, manzanita and other native shrubs and flowers. Held in the American Legion hall, the show honored Miss Claire H a n 1 e y, Jacksonville, president of the Oregon Feder ation of Garden clubs, whose grandparents settled in this val ley 100 years ago. Its theme was "The Old Stage Road." Visitors coming via "the Old Stage Road" neared a watering stop for the stage coaches. This back-drop, painted by Warren Holbrook and members of his art class at Crater high school, Clay ton Brown, Richard Ralls, Blos som Governor, Verity Day and Judy Davis, was from a photo graph of the Dean home on the Stage road. The small girl in the picture with her family is now Mrs. Leonard Freeman, a member of the Central Point Gar den club. Completing the stage was a planting of camellias and primroses. The next stop, Bits from Han leyland, was in the front lobby. Here was a setting of treasured pieces, a chair, table with secre tary box, hymnal and glasses, rocker and shawl, brought by Miss Hanley from her home. These, used by her family dur ing the past 100 years, were ar ranged in front of a piece quilt and the Hanley family tree. Despite the wintry weather, the exhibit of horticultural spe cimens was crowded and several tables of arrangements presented the many spring flowers, daffo dils, promroses, tulips, snow flakes, camellias, magnolias, ger aniums and the flowering quince, peach, cherry, plum, forsytfiia and heather in colorful array. Along the end of the room "ar rangements for the month" were presented on TV tables, featur ing dried arrangements, fresh flowers and sugar flowers. Ar rangements were displayed from Medford and Eagle Point clubs'. The floral arrangements were placed in two settings "Grand ma's Bouquets" 'and "Grandma's Flowers Gone Modern." Drawing much attention was a marble top- A lassie Maid coat presents a flight of feminine fancy to breeze right through Springtime. Iri descent taffeta lines the entire coat, borders the full blown cuffs, and ties in a bow at the neck, reflecting the predominating col or of the light-hearted tweed called Spotterdot.

Other antique tables held pitchers, oil lamps and other pioneer pieces. Of particular interest was the 100-year-old copper kettle belonging to Mrs. Dean and filled with old fashioned wall flowers. Educational features were a collection of pressed wild flow ers of Jackson county, an insect exhibit by Louis Gentner, entom ologist, and a display of bird pic tures. The two stairways present ed the picture for conservation. One stair was a picture of beauty with flowers, shrubs and wild life while the other, with burned stumps and grasses, was desola tion. The prize-winning poster, "You Are the Cause," completed the setting.- Tiny "egg-crate" wagons rolled along with miniature bouquets in "Bits o' Beauty" the corner. A large what-not filled with small arrangements and a manzanita corsage tree completed this cor ner. The large shadow boxes, on either side of the front lobby, presented a woodland setting of fern's, trilliums and erythron iums, and a modern setting with primroses. Phoenix Garden club displayed a table completing the theme of wild flowers. Refreshments were served from a tea table centered with a stagecoach banked with blossom ing Oregon grape and with yel low tapers in wrought iron hold ers. Pouring during the after noon were Miss Hanley, Mrs. Freeman, Mrs. A. T. Lathrop, Mrs. J E. Vincent, Mrs. W. B. Kincaid and Mrs C. W. Anhorn. The small tables were arranged with miniature oil lamps and tin type pictures. Following the pioneer theme, students from Mrs. Glen Down- ing's third grade presented a pageant of the old west.

(U.R) Poul try people advise housewives that a well-cooked hen in the refrigerator can save hours of time in meal preparation. Some morning at home put a 5 to 7-pound hen on to stew, and the result: the basic course for a couple of dinners plus a sand wich or two. One suggested way of cooking the hen French fashion. Have the bird cut into large pieces, wash them and put them in a pot with cold water to cov er. Add one carrot, a large on ion studded with five or six whole cloves, a small bay. leaf, a few peppercorns, salt to fla vor, a few celery tops and a piece of parsley. Cover and bring to a slow boil, and then simmer. . slowly two or three hours, or until tender to the fork, adding water when need ed. After' the hen has cooled in the broth, slice the meat from the bones and put in a separate bowl. Strain the broth and store in the refrigerator for use in sauces. From this start, the family can have a "cook's tour of the world" chicken a la king; chicken tatrazzini; Spain's arroz con polio; chicken chow mein or chop suey; chicken in wine for a Gallic versio, or chicken paprica, the spicy Hungarian dish. And there's always chicken and dumplings. First Home Permanent II I a..
