tomorrow's youth lies with the
youth of today," said Miss Millie

last meeting of Eagle Point High

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.

miraculous feats being perform
ed today by properly harnessed
atomic power.

Sweet Alyssum Most Popular
Flower For Use as Low Border
By EDNA KING MANDEVILLE
If a popularity contest were
held to select the flower most
used for edgings or low borders,
unquestionably the winner
would be the annual alyssum,
most commonly referred to as
"Sweet alyssum" because of its
delightful fragrance. 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

"Every storage department is so clean
and tidy at Bekins . . . every item of
furniture carefully wrapped and prop
erly identified. ..and Bekins storage
rates are much lower than we had ex
pected. I heartily recommend Bekins'
responsible storage to anyone needing

Banquet Prom
Given Saturday
Cave Junction Mrs. Ed Hub
bard was crowned queen of the
Illinois Valley high school Jun-ion-Senior
Prom Saturday night.
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.

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.

istration will be limited to 20

8. sections, a- total of 160 will

stated.
A fee will be charged for this
summer instruction course.
