Olin Rice, 147 North Ivy street, for 37 years head of the music department at North Cen tral high school in Spokane, Wash., recently was honored at Spokane by 40 of this former students. Mrs. Rice accompanied him and the luncheon event was held in the Spokane hotel. They had gone to Spokane to attend an opening performance of Miss Elsa . Pinkham's "Doll Shop," a biennial dancing extrav aganza for which Mr. Rice start ed writing tunes before his re tirement in 1946. The luncheon was a sponta neous tribute arranged by his former associates after they heard the Rices were In town. Each of those who attended spoke extemporaneously of in cidences which occurred when they were students of Mr. Rice, all in a vein of jollity. In reporting the event for a Spokane paper, David L. Kirk wrote ". . . the most sincere of tributes to the man who in 37 years as head of his department had ruled with kindness and right good nature, albeit with unfailing discipline. "They say old buildings have souls. Surely the crowded halls of North Central high school must have noticed the presence of the tall, silver-haired mus sician as he revisited his old haunts. Surely they feel a shad ow shape in them still as mem ories of. the past come thronging to the teachers stilj there." The writer continued concern ing Mr. Rice's visit: "Seldom is it given a man to come back to the roof tree of home and find so many contemporaries there. Seldom will he find so many willing to brave the mental haz ard of speaking in public, but these were paying respects to a friend who is just a little differ ent, who has left behind him memories that do not readily tarnish." -f- Extension Units Set Installation; Lessons Planned Central Point Mrs. C.

Pick" Often Good Rule For Flowers By EDNA KING MANDEVILLE In flower gardening, quite the contrary to cake eating, you may pick your flowers and have them too. In fact, if you neglect picking most varieties, they soon go to seed, and produce no more blossoms. When judiciously picked, however, the plants don't seem to "get wise" to what is going on, and continue to pro duce blossoms almost indefinite ly, or at least much, much long er than they will if unpicked. So pick to your heart's con tent. Enjoy the natural beauty of flowers indoors as well as out and always remember that to some people, many of whom cannot have gardens, a gift of flowers is one of the most wel come you can make. Perhaps you are a gardener who is more interested in cut flowers, for the decoration of your home than in having a beautiful garden. If so, colors and color combinations available from your garden are of primary importance . . . perhaps to form a background for that new dav enport in Chinese red, or as a complement to that splendiferous beige carpet, so handsome with deep blues and purples. The fact that picking flow ers improves the yield of the plants reminds me of another important gardening operation that is based on the same prin cipal. It is called "pinching," and is particularly important in caring for those varieties that have a tendency to shoot up and develop flowers before the plants have branched. Pinching is simple. Just nip out the top bud when the plant has reached four to eight inches in height. This temporarily diverts the energy of the plant from flow ering to branching, and means many more blossoms later. Remember, though, that pinch ing delays blooming . for a few days. Therefore, it is a good idea to pinch only a portion of the plants of one variety, letting some follow their natural bloom ing schedule. : , One word of warning: do not pinch any variety unless you are sure that it is the type that this operation will improve. Varieties that may be effectively pinched include ageratum, calendula, pe tunia, phlox, pinks, salpiglossis, snapdragon, verbena, and zinnia.

Mr. Allison's winter home is at Glendale, Calif., and he spends summers at his home at Ocean Park, Wash. He was highly impressed, he said, with the caliber of the Jacksonville Museum.
