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.

PTA Speaker Outlines
Importance of Policy
The importance of PTA basic policies to local units was out
lined by Mrs. Leigh Gustison, Medford, first vice-president of the
Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers, at the annual school of
instruction of Jackson County Council of Parent-Teacher associa
tions held September 20 at the YMCA.
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. They presented many
new ideas to hospitality chair
men and room representatives
for gaining active participation

ments for the meeting
Mrs. Kunkel announced the
regular county council meeting
will be held in the YMCA social
hall October 16. Mrs. Benson re
quested the cooperation of local
unit presidents, membership
chairmen, and publicity chair
men during the annual member
ship promotion week, Septem
ber 29 through October 7. Mem
bership enrollment - will con
tinue through the entire month
of October, she stated.
New Group
Has Session
First meeting of the new Jack
son County Medical assistants
was held at the Jackson hotel
Pioneer room September 12.
Mrs. Clifford Hammill, tempor
ary membership chairman, in
troduced other temporary chair
men and explained how interest
in forming such a group came
from several of the members
who attended a Southern Ore
gon college extension course for
medical secretaries.
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.
Dr. Shasky said the AMA has
long been interested in an asso
ciation for medical assistants and
that both the state- and county
medical societies may be called
upon for speakers or advice.

There were rumors the noted
composer had written such a
symphony. But thus far 'friends
said they did not know whether
he left an unknown artistic leg

Sibelius had once referred to
his composing days a "a closed
