Sundials Topic
For Last Meeting
Of Herb Society
"A sundial for the herb gar
den" was the main topic for dis
cussion at the Rogue Valley
Herb Society meeting held June
28.
Mrs. E. W. Jermark, Ashland,
was the guest speaker. Mrs. Jer
mark gave the early history of
sundials and explained their use.
Mrs. Jermark reminded the so
ciety that in the Bible, (Isaiah
38:8), mention was made of a
sundial. Mrs. Jermark named
the titles of several books that
would give more data on these
interesting garden ornaments. A
sundial face from the herb gar
den of one of the society mem
bers was used to illustrate her
lecture.
. The second speaker, Mrs. John
D. Hoist, discussed "The "Har
vesting and Preservation of
Herbs." Mrs. Hoist explained the
nhree-dimensional'; and "flat"
method of drying herbs, and
showed specimans of herbs dried
by each method. Mrs. Hoist ad
ded that herbs should be har
vested just as they come into
bloom, as the essential oils are
strongest at that time.
The harvesting and storing of
herb leaves, flowers, roots-and
seed was explained. Mrs. Hoist
displayed dried herbs, seeds, and
cellophane gift boxes of candied
violets, primroses, mock orange
blossoms, mint leaves and rose
mary blossoms. Jars of camom
ile flowers and wild strawberry
leaves for tea, and bottles of
Burnet . and Tarragon vinegar
for green salads were on dis
play.
The native herb display was
contributed and explained by
Mrs. M. Heckenberger, native
ginger; Mrs. John Ostrander,
chicory, moth mullein, worm
wood; Mrs. R. T. Nichpl, wild
geranium, dogbane; Mrs. J. D.
Hoist, lamb's quarter, miner's let
tuce, harvest brodiaea, Oregon
tea.
Mrs. S. F. Counts, society
president, brought a herb bou
quet of yarrow, wild roses, wild
lilac, spearmint, plantain, milk
weed and several other plants.
Mrs. Nichol contributed the
recipe of the month, a clam
chowder, seasoned with thyme.
The roll call response was
Twhat herbs have you harvested
and used." There were 15 mem
bers and four guests present. -
The society is interested in
learning the location of sundials
in or near Medford and would
appreciate help on the project
Anyone having such information
is asked to write Mrs. John D.

niscent of the first season will

staging and costume.
Even the event's founder and
producing director, Angus Bow
mer, has changed his activities
with the years. In the first year
Bowmer talked local people into

nancially, directed both plays,

tumes, and played Shylock in
"Merchant of Venice." Sir Toby

State convention'Teports were
given at a meeting of Disabled
Ameircan " Veterans auxiliary,
Jackson County Unit 8, Tuesday
evening at 'the DAV hall. At
tending the convention for the
local unit were Mrs. Jim Little,
Mrs. George Simmons and Mrs.
Luther Tingley.
Mrs. Simmons was elected
state junior vice-commander.
Mrs. Mae Holmes, Michigan, na
tional commander of the auxili
ary, was present and took charge
of the busmess session upon the
sudden death of the state com
mander, Mrs. Rudy Heiden, dur
ing a meeting.
' Mrst Holmes reported on the
.various phases of auxiliary
work, stressing the work that is
done at the leprosarium in Car-
ville, La. Auxiliary mandates
are used for a Christmas party
and gifts for patients and a spe
cial stamp fund is used to sup
ply postage stamps for patients.

by the Past Commanders', club
July 11 at the home of Mrs.
George . Simmons, 606 Valley
View drive.
Looks Back
petent staff of directors and
staff members working under
him,' the festival has a full-time
business manager, and personnel
devoted to such specific tasks as
box office management and pub
licity.
Approximately 200 people
saw the first festival an event
featuring two performances ,of
Twelfth Night" and one of
"Merchant of Venice." The ac
tors were townspeople and South
ern Oregon college students, and
the audience was entirely local.
This year, a company of profes
sional actors and outstanding
drama students from the nation's
leading colleges and universi
ties will present four plays in
rotation throughout the month
of August, and two special per
formances of one .of "Shake
speare's rarest plays, "Timon of
Athens," as well.
Concerts of Elizabethan music
and other special events will
round out a month of festivities,
in which 25.000 neosle from
every, state and a number of
foreign countries will partici
pate. A national broadcasting
network will air part of the
festival program, coast-to-coast.
Missing will be one special
event from the 1935 season,
though. In the first season, direc
tor Bowmer's local backers
were so certain that Shake
speare was poor box office that
they insisted that boxing
matches be held in the theater
in the afternoons to defray ex
penses of the shows. The plays'
taKe at the box office paid the
loss of the boxing matches and
no one has doubted Shake
speare s drawing power in Ash
land since.
The civic, non-profit event is
still governed by a board of di
rectors elected by the member
ship of the festival association,
aim aim pays us own way
through ticket sales. It has no
subsidy of any kind.
It has also clung to the idea
on which Mr. Bowmer founded
it that Shakespeare's nlavs.
produced on the stage for which
he wrote them in the Elizabe
than manner, would be as popu
lar in the twentieth century as
m Shakespeare's day. To prove
mat ne was right, he points not
only to the festival's growth, but
to tne xact that all 31 perform
ances in Ashland this August
win see college professors seat
ed beside clerks and loggers in
Asniand s theater.
