Sixteen mem bers answered roll call by naming a native or wild edi ble herb. Mrs. Ellen Stone of ' Grants Pass was welcomed by the society as an associate - member. Mrs. L. W. Lingscheit gave a lecture of wild herbs useful for food. Included in her lec ture were 40 or more herbs which grew in abundance in the Northwest and were de pended on as a source of food supply by the Indian tribes of this area. Mrs. Lingscheit had gathered many specimens from the nearby fields and woods to illustrate her lec ture. Some of the varieties of the lily family mentioned r were the dog-tooth violet, blue dicks, pussy's ears and cam ass. The Indians of the North west prized the bulbs of these plants as a delicacy. The arrowhead or Wapato tubers are edible and used as a potato. The Indians grind the seed of the yellow pond lily into meal for porridge i and use the pollen of the cat tail as bread. Some of the herbs used as vegetables are lamb's quarters, miner's let tuce, nettle and milkweed shoots. A few of the fruits mentioned were the straw berry, blackberry, Oregon grape, elder and choke cherry. The hostesses, Mrs. John H. Holtz and Mrs. Wm. Perry served refreshments at the close of the meeting. A copy of Hortus Handbook of Plants by Bailey has been added to the society library.

Decorator Advocates Changes By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York (IP) We women should change the decor of our homes as often as we change our wardrobes, says interior designer Russel Wright. "Too many women fall into the habit of static decorating. They become so used to an arrangement that they be come insensitive to it, yet they wouldnH think of play ing a record over and over," said Wright in an interview. "We become tired of things we love if we see them too much. Put such things as paintings, a c c e ssories and small rugs away for a while, and bring out others to keep the freshness of a room alive," he said. Changes Furnishings Often Wright changes furnishings in his Manhattan brownstone with every new season or large party. He plans to re group his living room, now done in a Far Eastern motif for an Easter party, to focus on the garden outside a pic ture window. In fall, he will move everything around again. "This is exaggerated, be cause I have so many things to work with, but it illustrates the idea which women can use, even if they have only a small apartment," he said. Wright recently returned from three months in the Far East where he collected Viet namese handcrafts for an ex hibit at the International World Trade Fair. The fair, scheduled for May 7-17, will include more than 3,000 ex hibits from 60 countries. Dis plays will range from nu clear devices to food. Features Lacquer Work The designer's Vietnamese exhibit will feature lacquer work never before shown in the United States. As head of a government - sponsored group, Wright works with the Vietnamese minister of in dustry to stimulate exports to the U. S. "Our machine-made furni ture needs to be comple mented by such hand-made accessories. The more we pro duce by machine, the more emotional need we have for handcrafts," said Wright, who considers American taste and design on a higher level than anywhere in the world. Banquet Planned For Methodists "The Careers of a Mother" will be the theme of the moth er and daughter banquet be ing planned for Tuesday, May 6, in First Methodist church at 6:30 p.m. The banquet is an annual festivity sponsored by the Woman's Society of Christian Service to provide an evening of fellowship for mothers and daughters of all ages. The Methodist Men's club, under the direction of Dr. Eugene Ray, will be waiters for the dinner. Mrs. Milton Snow, chairman of the evening's program, says the variety of careers of a mother will be portrayed by members of the Society and their daughters. Assisting with the program are Mrs. Richard Jewett and Mrs. Walter Hig gins, membesr of Circle 10. The dinner is being planned by Circle 9, under the direc tion of Mrs. Ben Greaser and her committee, Mrs. J. W Myers and Mrs. H. R. Walker The decorations will be pre pared by Mrs. J. C. Sparks of Circle 4, assisted by Mrs Melvin Ward, Mrs. Herbert Sharp and Mrs. Pete Zimmer man. Mrs. Anne Gorby will present a feature "Do You Know Her?"
