BABY SITTERS YMCA WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES MEDFORD YMCA 522 WEST SIXTH Phoenix Woman Is Speaker For Butte Falls Club Butte Falls Mrs. A. C. Lewis of Phoenix spoke at the last meeting of Butte Falls Garden club. She described how to make plaques with many kinds of dried plans, cones and seeds, and to form interesting flower arrange ments. She attains her goal of appropriate colors by carefully watching for material whenever on field trips. She believes in using only colors found in na ture, but painted material may be used if desired. Mrs. Lewis stated that wild bark should be harvested at the different stages of greens and browns as it will retain that color. Miniature cat-tails may be had by cutting the ordinary kind early in growth. Button chrysanthemums, hung upside down to dry will retain their color, she said. Mrs. Lewis displayed a num ber of her original plaques and arrangements. Mrs. Elga Abbott, who grows many varieties of fuchsias, gave a few timely hints pertaining to their care. She said that it is time to cut the plants back to within a few inches of the base and store in a cellar like place and let them rest water spar ingly until spring. This advice was given with the Butte Falls locality in mind as the frost sea son has arrived here. Mrs. N. B. Stoddard's report on conservation of forests and water was cleverly given in nur sery rhyme form. The hostess, Mrs. Frank Car son of Medford and co-hostess, Mrs. Fred Kincaid, served light dessert luncheon upon the ar rival of the club, members from Butte Falls. Next month's meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Harry Dalton.

Her topic title was Let's Start Right." Mrs. Gustison re marked. "When we are going to travel we use a map to find the shortest, safest, most scenic route. PTA policies are likened to that map; they have been es tablished during the 60-year pe riod since our founding through trial and error. Most of them have come at the request of lo cal units such as each of you represent." she stated. Program Educational Mrs. Gustison pointed out that the program of PTA work is ed ucational: to study, to inform, and to act. PTAs do not seek to direct the administrative ac tivities of the schools, nor to control their policies. It is not the aim of PTAs to serve as "school-aid societies" for the purchase of school equipment. It is true that PTAs have bought many things for schools, she said, after determining from the school board that money for those items could not be allowed from public funds in the cur rent budgets. However, this is not the purpose for which PTA was organized. Rather, it is an interpretative group. The speak er said, "We believe that criti cism of our schools is often based on ignorance, so we strive to dispel that ignorance by our educational program of dissemi nating facts." ' Alaska was accepted by the National Congress of Parents and Teachers as the 51st Con gress member at the national convention in Cincinnati, Ohio, this year, according to Mrs. Gustison. The Alaskan Congress was officially organized in April, 1957. by Mrs. Jennelle Moorhead, Eugene, vice - presi dent of Region 7 of the National Congress. PTA Petitions During the national conven tion. Major Howard J. Funston, third vice-president of the Euro pean Congress of American PTAs, came from Augsburg, Germany, where he is stationed with the U.S. Army, to present their petition to become the 52nd branch of the National Congress of Parents and Teach ers. He was representing some 30,000 PTA members on Euro pean army posts. Mrs. Owen Kunkel, Jackson County council president, intro duced Mrs. Gustison, and Mrs. Eldred Hansen, historian for the Oregon Congress, and Mrs. Ar thur Moore, junior vice-president of region V of the Oregon Congress, both from Klamath Falls. The latter two assisted with the workshops following the general session. Mrs. Hansen, assisted by Mrs. John Benson, took the title "The PTA Story: How to tell it, and how to keep it," for their work shop on keeping records. Secre taries, treasurers, publicity chairmen, magazine chairmen and historians were assigned to this group. "Hello! and helping hands" was the title chosen by Mrs. Moore, assisted by Mrs. H. M. Morris, Jackson County council hospitality chairman, for their workshop.

Mrs. Marie Pierce, temporary presiding officer then told of other such groups throughout the country and of the educational benefits gained by their mem bers. The national organization is holding a convention at San Francisco in October. Mrs. Pierce introduced Dr. Florian J. Shasky who had just returned from the American Medical as sociation's Institute of Public Relations in Chicago.
