I have re IP t p n mi it i J Gardeners are a generous lot. Our yard is filled with all man ner of plants and flowers which were gifts, not only from friends and acquaintances but from gardeners whom we've never even met. Latest addition to the garden are three little plants of the native Washington lily which were a gift from the Keith Scotts of Butte Falls. The Scotts also sent along some seeds. The couple's daughter, Mrs. E. H. Trefren, who brought the plants and seeds down Sunday, says her father has grown the lilies with ease for a number of years, transplanting them from spots in the Butte Falls area. Mrs. Trefren has some in her yard on North Peach street and declared "if they'll grow here, they'll grow anywhere." Mrs. Howard Bush, who sat near us at the herb luncheon of Medford Garden club last week at Mon Desir, says she also has wonderful luck transplanting wild flowers, bulbs and native bushes into her garden on Barneburg road. She has the native lamb tongue, shooting star, iris and other wild flowers, but ad mitted that she had never been able to transplant the little native orchids. Also joining in the conversation Thursday were Mrs. J. E. Jorgensen and her friend, Mrs. Frank Unmack, a newcomer to Oregon from Montana. Mrs. Unmack is an authority on the wild flowers of that state, and said she is already learning about the Oregon plants which do not grow in Montana. Mrs. Bush brought along four books on trees of the northwest which she has studied in recent years, and pappy and Potpourri have already added to our information on the evergreens of the area. First "thing, we learned something which pappy already knew, and that is Douglas fir isn't a fir. Seems this outstanding tree which has-meant so much to the northwest, both because of its beauty and because of the lumber it provides, puzzles scien tists who found that it resembles the hemlock, spruce, true firs and yews. They gave it a scientific name, pseudotsuga taxifolia, which means "false hemlock with yew-like leaves." Frank Applegate wrote last week to say that one of the small pines we saw on top of Mt. Ashland is the albacaulis, or white barked pine, and that it also grows in the Crater lake area and other high spots of the Cascades, Siskiyous and Sierra mountains. Next trip up into the Mt. Ashland area we're going to take along a notebook after a few days we can't remember which tree was growing where and whether the one with the little purple cones was also the one which had the "buggy whip" top. Another gift for our garden was a sack full of white tulio bulbs which came from Mrs. John Holmer's place. Mrs. Holmer also has a tip to gardeners troubled with gophers. She buys chick en wire and makes basket-like containers in which she plants i tf 1 i iu u : H T XT J 2 ' u ill us. xi uie uuiu jjicuiuuigs die id uc iii iuvva, 1VJ.1&. xi. uigs a irencn and lays the wire in, bringing it up at the side, trough fashion. Since the pesky underground creatures just about take over Pot pourri's garden, in spite of poisoned peanuts and other measures, this fall we're going to try the wide baskets. Mrs. Holmer also taught us another gardening trick she uses a brick or two on the floor of the car to support containers with flowers and water. It works, too. Perhaps some Medford merchant should build a "dog bar." In New York City, one of the downtown stores can't remember which one now, has a little water trough out on the street which has a sign reading "Dog Bar." Monday night when we stopped to chat with the postman taking letters out of the drive up post box, he introduced us to the great dane dog which roams the streets of Medford. "You should see him drink out of the street fountains," the postman said, and as if he understood, the pooch hurried off to the nearby fountain which is just about the right height, and drank thirstily. . Which reminds us that Lucky, spaniel belonging to Gene and Mickey Cass, loves tidbits from the table and when told that she can't have a bite until she brings a paper, rushes off and comes back with a sheet of newspaper which she puts on the floor by her mistress' chair. And Tippy the terrior either can smell right through the kitchen walls, or else he just waits outside every evening for the sound of the refrigerator door closing. For just as sure as Potpourri goes into the kitchen for a before-bed snack of ice cream, we've hardly opened the carton before Tippy is scratching at the door. He loves ice cream, same as we do, and there's not a moment's peace until he has his share. O.S. Holiday Apron Santa comes but once a year be ready for him!

Diamond Ring Lost Four Years Ago Recovered Macon, Mo. (IP) Mrs. Noel Weisenborn recovered a dia mond ring she lost four years ago in an alley from which dirt had ben removed many times since the loss occurred.

Kindergarten for Deaf, Hard of Hearing to Start Next Monday The Junior Service League Kindergarten will open Its fifth year of operation next Monday, for deaf and hard-of-hearing children in Jackson county. The school, located at 606 Vic tory st., was organized in 1953 by the young women's organi zation to assist pre-school chil dren who have hearing difficult ies. Nineteen such youngsters have attended it since it opened. Mrs. B. Brandt Bartels, wife of a Medford physician and her self a trained instructor for those with hearing difficulties, super vises the school, which is staff ed by a teacher, Mrs. Norman Jahn, who received her training in the east, and by two volun teers each day from the Junior Service league. Mrs. Bartels training was at the Central In stitute for the Deaf in St. Louis. Five Days A Week The school operates five days each week, from 9 a.m. to noon, and ' operates on the principle that "If a child is deaf, and is started out right, he can be come a self-sustaining citizen, not dependent on either welfare or charity," Mrs. Bartels declares. She said that over the years deaf students she has instruct ed have gone on to success in many professional careers, and that she still hears from them frequently. Emphasis at the kindergarten is on instructing children in lip reading, so they can take their own places in society with a mm;mum of embarrassment and difficulty, she said. Since only those up to 6 years are taken, this is done through techniques of supervised play and instruc tion, blended together, Mrs. Bar tels reported, saying it is "play for the children, but hard work for the teacher." In this way they learn to communicate with others in the same normal man ner that other children do. Sign language is avoided as artificial and cumbersome. Training Differs The training differs some what for those who are totally deaf and those who still have some hearing, but the objective is the same. Many are ready to enter public schools by the time they are 6, Mrs. Bartels said, while others must go on for fur ther specialized training at other schools for the deaf She said, aside from mentally retarded children, she has never seen a deaf child who could not learn to talk with proper train ing. Principal source of contacts for the school are doctors and school authorities, but occasion ally they hear from some par ent vho has heard about the school. Each child must have a physical examination before en tering, but that is about the only requirement. There is no tuition charge, al though parents who can afford it frequently give donations to ward the work of the school. Chief Sponsors The Junior Service League, as chief sponsors of the kindergar ten, have employed a number of ways to raise funds to keep it going. Biggest is the biennial "Follies" which will be pre sented this fall. They also have presented style shows, rummage sales, house tours, charity balls, and "abctxt anything else we can think of," according to Mrs. C. H. Buffington, of the organiza tion. In addition, donations are al ways welcome, and the group has received considerable assis tance in various ways from the Kiwanis club, the Lions club, the Lady Lions, individual business men and other individuals. Visitors are welcome to in- CALENDAR Calendar notice! and newt for the society section of The Mail Tribune must be submitted in writing and deadline for the Sun day edition Is 1 p.m Friday Dead line for the weekly calendar is 9 vm. of the day of oublication and for week day news is 5 pjn. the day before publication.
