Oregon's junior United States

Congressional Wive's Forum for
1958.

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.

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-
