Mrs. Elga Abbott, who brought an arrangement of red and pur-1 pie anemones, explained that the scientists and Bible students agree that these flowers of royal colors are the ones spoken of in the Bible as the "lilies of the field". Mrs. H. J. Arnold gave a short talk on the Everglades park, emphasizing that interested loyal Americans must continue to "battle" for the preservation of this unique priceless wilderness area .for future generations to enjoy. This subtropical Ever glades is unlike anything in any of the other national parks. In stead of being junglelike as most visitors expect, the Everglades is a great flat grassland, for the most part, that scarcely rises more than two feet above sea level. It is unbroken except' for occasional "hummocks" or is lands. The park's chief attraction is the large wading birds the ibis, herons, egrets, and spoonbills which inhabit the water areas and nest along the seashore; also the alligators which are found in the sloughs in the grass. With out the alligators thrashing about, the sloughs would become filled with vegetation and dirt; the fish and crustaceans would disappear; the birds would move on and there would be no more Everglades. Thus is emphasized the importance of preserving the wildlife habitat and allowing na ture to retain its "balance . The May meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Lee Shep pard. Refreshments were served by the hostess, Mrs. John Fuiten.

Yurok Women Now Recovered A year ago today, two elderly Yurok Indian women were mov ed from Rogue Valley hospital to a hospital in Eureka, Calif.

Last week the two women, Mrs. Nellie Griffin, 83, and her sister, Mrs.' Rose McDonald, 85, wrote friends here that both have now recovered from their serious injuries and are back at their Klamath, Calif., home. They were hospitalized for many months, first here, then in Eureka, and later on the Hoopa Indian reservations. Both had received many broken bones and other injuries which requir ed repeated surgery. ' The two women were subjects of illustrated newspaper stories following the accident. The ar ticles were inspired because of their ages, the fact that their faces were tatooed in a fashion peculiar in their tribe and be cause both are members of a church denomination little known in this area, the Shaker. Among local residents who aided them was Mrs. Dale Flow ers, who later visited them on the reservation. 9229 SIZES M'A-24!. Slimming as a week-long diet!
