Former Students
Of Medford Man
Pay Him Tribute
C. 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."

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.

Museum Visited
By Many Students
During Past Week
Jacksonville Students from
five out-of-county schools were
in Jacksonville Thursday to vis
it the Jacksonville Museum.
Four of the schools had arranged
ahead for the visits but the fifth
one had not. For a time the Mu
seum was so crowded with the
visitors that students of the
school were required to wait to
make their visit.
The schools represented were
Murphy, Hugo, Fruitdale, Drys
Creek and Dillard.
Another visitor last week at
the Museum was Guy Allison, a
writer of a historical syndicated
column. 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. Mr. Allison has prom
ised to present the institution a
brick from the home of Robert
E. Lee. .
