a MAIL TRIBUNE, MeaW, Oman, Twursdiy, Mey 8, H58 IPapttpapimiripn This Is the best season of all in the Rogue valley. This is the time we long for in January and February, when the days are cold and dark and there is scarcely a hint of spring in the garden and on the hills. Ibis is the time when the days are sunny and warm, but not too hot, when the" grass is green and the flowers bright; this is the time when we waken to the song of the birds and the busy hum of the spray machine in the orchard across the road. This is the ;time when it is fun to get up at 5:30 in the morning, when .the lengthening days are still far too short to accomplish .'all the multiple tasks in house and garden. This is-the beginning of picnic time and the eyes can enjoy the tracing of green leaves against a -blue sky or linger on the far hills instead of the same four : walls. This is the time when it is sheer, unadulterated joy : to e alive, and outdoors and busy. May is also a time of decision. Not world-shaking decis ions, of course, but decisions important to the homemaker and gardener. Today, for instance, shall we wash windows and take the cobwebs off the walls, or shall we pull weeds ; and clip 'grass and plant petunias? In the spring battle of house versus garden, the latter usually wins. We argue to ourseives mai more 01 our irienas ana neignDors see tne garden, than see the indoors of the house, and besides, we can wash the windows inside, anyhow, on a rainy day when it would be impossible to garden. clay pots that hang on the little urepiace. iasi year u was trailing Blue lobelia ana pink petunas or was that the year before? Shall it be pink ivy geranium and white petunias? This much is certain, what ever the color combination, Potpourri and pappy will enjoy them as we sit at the picnic table or rest in one of the patio chairs. Wednesday we bought three pairs of garden gloves one leather, one plastic and one cotton. Pappy keeps telling us, 1UVC5.

An hour later, the gloves are still on the ground, or on the branch of a tree or hung in the convenient crotch, of a tree. Wednesday's purchase was prompted by . the bandage, still necessary after a week of nursing a cut on the back of the right hand, inflicted by gardening which was more enthusiastic than cautious, and which might have been less serious for a gloved hand. "We did real well on our skull practice," reported one civil defense official aftef yesterday's simulated alert. "The worst incident we had to cope with was a power failure in the gymnasium. The girls hooked up too many electric coffee pots and blew the fuses."

The Improved Order of Red Men is the oldest patriotic fraternity of purely Ameri can origin. It traces its begin ning back to pre-Revolution-ary days when patriotic groups were formed to pro mote liberty and to establish freedom for the colonies. The name is derived from the pa triots, who, to hide their identity from the British, dis guised themselves as ''red men" and as such staged the "Boston Tea Party." Today, the order and its auxiliary, the Degree of Poca hontas, uphold its early tradi tions by living up to its motto of freedom, friendship and charity. It takes an active part in national civil defense, Cru sade for Freedom, Radio Free Europe, American Conference to Combat Communism, boys' and girls' clubs, Scouts and many other local activities. Both branches have their youth groups, "Degree of Hiawatha" for the young men and "Degree of Anona" for the girls. Picturesque ceremonies of the fraternity are . founded upon the manners, customs and traditions of the abo riginies of the American -continent. ' f- Noted .
