Root gave a program on "Wisconsin" for the February meeting of Tra vel Study club of the Oregon Federation of Women's clubs last Tuesday with Mrs. Carrie Walters,' 719 Newtown street, as hostess. Mrs. Root states that as early as 1634, Jean Nicollet, a French trapper, visited the country now known as Wis consin. The first settlement was by the. French at Green Bay in the Seventeenth cen tury. It was admitted as a state May 29, 1848. The con stitution then adopted is still in force. The state got its name from its principal river, the Wis consin, which means "the wild, running water." It is likened to the Rogue river of Oregon, being treacherous and full of deep holes. It never freezes over solid in the winter. Wisconsin is noted for. its cheese factories; Wisconsin cheese is considered some of the finest. Milwaukee, the largest city, is famous for its large brew eries. Mrs. Root is a native of Waukesha, but has lived in Oregon since 1910. Waukesha has many parks, and in these parks are springs from which water is bottled and shipped. The White Rock water is fa miliar to many people in Ore gon. These springs are tiled with marble, and the floor around them is marble. Another feature of Wiscon sin is the "Dells" along the Wisconsin river. These are beautiful rock formations, and in some places people can walk and even picnic. They are located at Dells City not far from Portage. Wisconsin is a land of many lakes. Mrs. Root showed pic tures which Mr. Root and she took of Waukesha, the springs, Dells and many lakes. One book of pictures was at least 125 years old. Mrs. Clay M. Lee, president of the club, presided at a short business session, and intro duced Mrs. Carl W. Peterson, Ashland, district president; Mrs. William A. White, past district president, and a di rector; Mrs. H. J. Stephens, past president' of Rogue River Civic club, second vice presi dent and chairman of conser vation for District 1; Mrs. Ruth Drumm, president of the same club; and Mrs. Lynabel Deck, a member of the club. Mrs. Peterson was given an honorary membership in Tra vel Study club, and Mrs. Beryl Lyon was welcomed back into the club after months of tra vel in many of the states. . Mrs. Walters had a minia ture covered wagon, filled with small sacks of food prod ucts, which might have been used by the pioneers. Each member was given one of the sacks. The next meeting will be Tuesday, March 31, with Mrs. Marvin Nelson, 225 Cottage street, as hostess. Perennials Topic For Garden Club .

Smith, Cave Junction, will be guest speak er and her topic will be "Beautifying Gardens with Perennials." Mrs. E. M. Wallin will be tea chairman for the lunch eon following the program. Mrs. J.

The PTA served the school lunches at that time, with one hot dish each day prepared on an old four-burner wood stove. Mrs. Paul Force, 1937-38, recalled that during her term a shed was built on the school grounds for the children to play in during rainy weather. Past Recalled Mrs. Kermit Carroll, presi dent for two terms from 1946 to 1948, recalled that twelve years ago there were only two small buildings serving grade and high school students; these are still in use as a small portion of the grade school. During that year a fire occurred which destroyed the school gymnasium, and plans were started for a new building. Foodstuffs were still in short supply following the war years, and members of the PTA canned hundreds of jars of pears, peaches, and to matoes for the school cafe teria.

How water-resistant are the special finishes on the fabric of your rain coat, cor coat or jacket? Well, you can still get damp wearing a wa ter - repellent coat in a heavy rainstorm. Such finishes are not completely water proof. They do shed a lot of moisture and they also resist staining a valuable feature in any clothing. A good water re pellent finish will keep the gar ment clean longer and will last even through several cleanings. However, not even the finest water-repellent finish is perman ent. The finish loses its effec tiveness against moisture and has to be renewed periodically. If you've worn yours for quite a while, or if it's had a few clean ings, let us renew the finish the cleaning. It'll last longer and do a better job of keeping you dry. For everything you need to keep your clothes fresh, clean and longer wearing, depend upon om prompt, careful and dependable service.
