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.

Of Auxiliary Unit
Work of the American Legion
auxiliary for the welfare of chil
dren of war veterans draws it
major financial support from the
coin boxes which the auxiliary
"poppy girls" will carry on Pop
py days here Friday and Satur
day, according to Mrs. Earl
Bigalow, child welfare chairman
of the Medford unit.
"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.
