TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Peonies, Birds Topics for Club In Butte Falls Butte Falls Butte Falls Fed erated Garden club held its monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Brittain Ash, who was as sisted by Mrs. Elga Abbott. Re freshments were served at the close of the meeting. Mrs. N. B. Stoddard and Mrs. Elga Abbott poured. Mrs. Eugene Irwin, Butte Falls, was a guest. Mrs. Frank Carson talked on the tree peony, a Saunders' hy brid seedling, saying that they bloom about April 25 to May 15 and should be planted in the fall. They will grow to a height of five feet and in time will pro duce as many as 150 flowers to a plant, some averaging 12 inches across. The crepe-paperlike texture of the giant blooms exhibit many shades of white, pink, yellow, and red. The Chi nese or Japanese types are more desirable than the European be cause of the richer colors and freer blooms, the speaker said. The peonies are extremely hardy. They require ordinary soil and thrive in semi-shade as well as in full sun. Peonies need practically no spraying, very little feeding, and therefore are ideal for the lazy gardener, the speaker added. Main speaker of the day was Mrs. N. B. Stoddard whose topic was 'Birds.' Mrs. Stoddard said that next to Bible study, to her there is no other study so re warding in joy and happiness as bird study. This study costs only time unless one wishes to invest in binoculars, etc., and no bird lover ever has occasion to be bored. Birds are beautiful, grace ful creatures, Mrs. Stoddard said. Not only do they satisfy our aesthetic sense through their handsome plumage and their sweet voices but they are mar velously adapted to their re spective fields of activity," she stated. They are valuable assets because they depend largely on insects for their food, the speak er concluded. Mrs. Stoddard, who had re cently returned from visiting about 36 states, said that the birds added greatly to the pleas ure of her trip. While telling of the food hab its, songs and nesting places she displayed colored pictures of numerous birds. She also used the May issue of Sports Illustrat ed wljich contains colored pic tures of many interesting birds. The June meeting will be at the country home of Mrs. Harry Dalton.

"Fully half of the children in Medford are children of vet erans," she said, "and out of this number there are constantly some who need help. Wars are still taking their toll of the men who served in them, and when a veteran is stricken down by illness or death, there often are children left in need. Our auxil iary child welfare committee must be constantly prepared to go to their aid. "In the course of a year, we aid many children in many ways. This is made possible by the understanding and generosi ty of the people who wear our memorial day poppies on Poppy day. Without their contributions we would not have the means to supply the needs of unfortunate children of veterans here in Medford." The memorial poppies, made by disabled veterans at Camp White, will be distributed here on Friday and Saturday by vol unteer workers from the auxil iary and other cooperating groups. The contributions re ceived will be used for the wel fare of disabled veterans as well as for aid to children of veterans.
