A bus has been chartered for the state meeting in June for Rogue valley members and will leave from Medford. Mrs. A. O. Floyd, district chairman, has em phasized that all members who can should attend. Money set aside by garden club members for scholarships now is being used for research work, the Oregon Federation of Research organization to pay students by the hour for doing research in horticulture and floriculture. The change was made, it was explained, because so much available money has not been used through scholarships. The Siskiyou district, of which the valley clubs are a part, is made up of 26 groups, and 300 clubs make up the federation of the state. An offer has been made from Azalea club of Brookings to give bulbs to the Rogue River group to replace flood victims flower losses. The group has accepted the offer. Mrs. Floyd and Mrs. Ira Fitzgerald brought plants to the club meeting last week for distribution to those who lost their gardens. Mrs. Floyd offered a tip for planting nasturtiums, suggesting that they be put in the middle of cucumber, cantaloupe or watermelon beds to keep down bugs and also add beauty when the vines of the other plants are gone. Several arrangements of ca mellias, primroses and quince were exhibited at the meeting. ' It was pointed out that chil dren are pulling up wild flowers and shooting birds and the mem bers have asked cooperation of parents to prevent this.

Women to Give Housing Advice Washington (U.R) One hundred housewives today be gan helping the government de sign the dream house of the fu ture. The housewives offered their ideas at a women's congress on housing called by federal hous ing chief Albert M. Cole. The first problem on the agenda of the three-day meeting: interior planning. Before they are through, the women also will advise the gov ernment on exterior housing de signs and lot of requirements and neighborhood and community planning. Cole said that in putting "the credit and good faith of the gov ernment" behind housing loans, the government wants to be sure that houses of the future ade quately serve their occupants. "One of the best ways I know for us to learn more about the modern home in terms of mod ern living is to ask the woman who runs one," he said in a wel coming speech to the congress. Cole acknowledged that "a few people a few men, of course " think the congress will serve no purpose." But he said they are wrong. One of the meeting's critics is Rep. James M. Quiqley (D Pa.), who has called the congress "a ridiculous waste of the tax payer's money." Cole's Housing and Home Fi nance agency estimates the gov ernment's bill for the meeting at about $20,000. Some members of the housing industry have expressed fears privately that the ladies may persuade the government to raise housing standards so high that homes might be priced out of the market.
