Gives Program
On Wild Herbs .
Wild herbs were the topic
for the last meeting of Rogue
Valley Herb society held in
the home of Mrs. John H.
Holtz, Medford. 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

Know Her?"

for the dinner and should be

ing, May 5, at the office of

Delightful change of pace
for a dinner menu is big bowls
of corn chowder with a salad
cocktail. Fill avocado halves
with shrimp or crab and a zld
py tomato cocktail sauce.
Toasted French bread com
pletes the menu.
