Juvenile deliquency was listed as a major problem of today. Among the causes, according to Miss Haynie, are prejudice and poor environment. Sugg ested means of eliminating these causes were constructive means provided to occupy idle minds; a cleaning-up of slum areas and poor living conditions; and set ting up of counseling boards composed of two commissions, one commission to be an adult group and one a teenage group. The duty of this board would be to council first offender law breakers, she said. Miss Haynie was the first place winner in the Southern Oregon District speech contest. sponsored by Knights of Pythias lodge. She took part in the state finals at Portland Saturday. Miss Sandra Sawyers, third place winner in the contest, was the other guest speaker. She spoke of the burden on the shoulders of today's youth in re lation to the disposition of atom ic energy. The awesome distruc tion at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were retold by Miss Sawyers. On the other hand she noted the miraculous feats being perform ed today by properly harnessed atomic power. "In the hand s today's youth lies life or death, war or peace," stated Miss Sawyers. Bert Simmons, speech class in structor, introduced the speakers as students from his class, who had entered the lodge sponsored contest.

An examin ation of the many virtues of sweet alyssum readily explains why it is so popular. What more could anyone ask for in one flower than to have it easy to grow, quick to bloom (about 6 to 7 weeks), insect and disease-free, and indifferent to weather, hot or cold. Not only does it come into bloom quick er T .: l W ASA Whyctidlstommyfiimituiv withBekins?

Mrs. Hubbard, a recent bride, will graduate this month. Chosen by the students as prom princesses were Miss Patty Sowell and Miss Marcia Findley. The high school gymnasium had been transformed into a crinoline-ceilinged balroom by the junior class, whose theme for the prom was "Paint the Town Red." Picket fences, a bridge and rose covered trellises bor dered the dance floor. From the ceiling hung big cardboard musi cal notes, and clever painting of top hat, gloves and cane, dan cers and trumpet completed the decorations. Mrs. Casey Piller assisted with the art work. Speaker at the banquet which preceded the dance were Elmer Fleming, county school superin tendent, Vernon Larson, princi pal, Larry Preston, this year's student body president; Gary Meredith, president of the junior class, and Floyd Mathews. Charles Brouilette was master of ceremonies. The steak dinner was prepared by Errol Woodbury, assisted by PTA mothers. Boys from the sophomore class served. Following the dance, a free show was given at the Frontier drive-in theatre. In the early morning hours, students gather ed at various homes where moth ers served breakfast.' Then, changed into less formal attire, the celebrating high schoolers drove to Harris beach near Brookings, or to Immigrant lake, where they picnicked on fried chicken and other food preoared by parents.

Top off all this with a most pleasant fragrance and you have a truly ideal flower. Originally, alyssum-was a na tive of the Mediterannean. The old-fashioned white sweet" alys sum by today's standards of per fection grew rather tall. Partly because of this it had the annoy ing habit of having the plants break open, thus destroying the drift of what it was intended to produce. Today's favorite white, or sweet, alyssum, is the variety most appropriately called "Snow Cloth" which is very dwarf (growing only 2 to 3 inches high,) and has a spread of up to a foot across. The resulting neat white rounds . are as precise as the ruffle on an old-fashioned bouquet. This fine strain in addi tion to making the best possible edging of white in borders is much use in rock gardens, since most rock garden flowers have an early season and the "Snow Cloth" alyssum blooms all sum mer and into the late fall. Color Added Not only have the characteris tics of alyssum been improved, but in addition golor has been added. The first variety produc ed in color was called "Lilac Queen" and is still grown to some extent. However, "Lilac Queen" was a bit too pale in color and a later variety kown color and a later variety known as "Violet Queen" with its deep er lavender blooms is more gen erally acceptable. Both strains run 3 to 4 inches in height. " More recently an All-Ameri ca Award winner known as "Royal Carpet" alyssum has been introduced to delighted gar deners. This has the same dwarf ness as "Snow Cloth," but pro duces flowers of a rich violet color. During very hot weather the flowers take on a Burgundy tone, but as temperatures drop the flowers appoach purple, Used by itself, "Royal Carpet" produces a very showy border and in combination with "Snow Cloth" has an added advantage. since the white shows up at night as well as providing a striking contrast to the rich pur ple during the day. In planting alyssum, sow the seed sparingly, since the less transplanting necessary the bet ter. The seeds are very quick to germinate under eood condl tions tpey will show green in six days. If transplanting is necessary, be sure the second leaves have appeared and ' re move the small plant as gently as possible perferably dirt and and all without disturbing the root. Once alyssum has become established, it grows rapidly and in no time has tiny flowers along the entire "spike." If you notice the blooms are "wearing then' after blossoming heavily, trim them off and a whole new growth will come along. There is a perennial form of alyssum (Saxatile) in a rich gold en yellow which is a rock garden favorite. "Gold Dust" is the name of this popular variety, and if you would out-do Midas, sow it in your rock garden. You must have patience, however, since being a perennial it won't bloom until the second year. Summing up, for the rock gar den .or for borders. I heartily recommend alyssum it grows so easily any novice at garden ing can achieve professional ef fects; it blooms right through the season, and once you're sniffed its heavenly fragrance you will put it on your "must" list.
