The men are digging then way into gardening in rapid ly growing numbers. You still outdo them, but at the rate the men are cultivating this hobby, one day they may be walking off with the biue rib bons for begonias, roses, or chids and other flora. This I gather from a man fittingly named Spader, who is executive secretary of the Men's Garden clubs of Ameri ca. "Sure I take a lot of kid ding because of my name," said George A. Spader, of Morrisville, N.Y. "But I also capitalize on it." Spader, a retired professor of horticulture, said the men's clubs have 9,000 members in 196 affiliates around the country. "The ladies," he add ed, "have about 43 clubs to one of ours. But we're in creasing rapidly. "It's impossible to estimate the number of men hobby ists. We know it's enormous." 'Miracle of Life' Men are taking up the hob by for several reasons, said Spader. Their basic love of growing things-"It is watch ing the miracle of life un fold," said one ecstatic hob byist. Retirement age for men comes earlier and gardening is the "perfect" avocation for the man still physically ac tive. And all of us have more leisure time. "But you're trying to put me on a spot when you ask which sex makes the better gardener," said Spader. "The men are more apt to do the hard work-weeding and hoe ing. Ladies go in more for flower arranging." We got on the subject of the men hobbyists at the New York coliseum, the site this week of the 42nd annual In ternational Flower show. The Men's Garden club of New York is one of the exhibitors -featuring a small, wall gar den for "the busy executive." The women should en courage us gardeners," said President Alfred S. Knowl ton, counsel for the Eastern railroads. "Gardening keeps us home. Golf doesn't." Knowlton's hobby includes two greenhouses-one with or- Reames Chapter Observes Annual Friendship Night Reames chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, observed Friendship night February 26, at the Medford Masonic tem ple.

He said hobbyists represent a pretty good occupational cross-section. The New York club has bankers, stockbrok ers, doctors, lawyers, adver tising men, writers, police men, clerks and railroaders as members. Where does a busy execu tive find the time to garden? "All of us have more time than we realize," said Knowl- ton. "But I would advise the beginning to start with some thing simple to care for, like roses. Not orchids. They need a lot of attention. If my wife and I go away for a week, I have to hire an orchid-sitter."

Little Theater Early Arrivals Due For Treat There's a pleasant treat in store for people who get to the Footlighters Theater early for next week's performances of "The Tender Trap." The early arrivals for each performance will have first chance to watch the play seat ed comfortably in the Foot- lighters' newly installed up holstered seats. The seats themselves have quite a theatrical background. They were originally made for the pleasure of patrons of the Star Theater in Portland. The Star happened to be re modelling at the time the Ivy Theater in Cave Junction burned down a few years ago and the Ivy owners bought some of the seats and import ed them to use in their tem porary headquarters. When the Ivy was rebuilt, it was found that the seats would't fit in the new building. The fancy padded seats had just been sitting for some time when Footlighters presi- den, Les Boardman, persuaded Bernie Roberts, the manager of the Ivy and an enthusias tic Footlighter supporter, to put them to use in the little theater. So the Footlighters' own wooden seats have been torn out of the first few rows, and the upholstered seats, cleaned and brushed up, will add to the pleasure of local theatrer-goers who get there early enough to be seated in them. The Footlighters product ion of "The Tender Trap" runs Tuesday through Satur day of next week, with per formances starting at 8:30 each evening. Featured in the cast are Charles Tucker, Rob bie Robbins, Audrey Reiss, Shirley Budreau, Shirley Curt Butterfield, and Dave Havlick. Tickets are being sold by members of the Medford Lions Club, and also at Swems and Puruckers.

The children are using typewriters during class in connection with research di rected by educators from Bos ton university, Columbia Uni versity Teachers college and the University of Illinois. The purpose: To determine the influence of typewriter use on educational develop ment of elementary school children. At the end of the school year, achievements of the typewriting children will be compared with those of chil dren of the same age who did not use typewriters. Dr. Lawrence W. Erickson, professor of education at Col umbia, said a fourth or fifth grader can write about 12 words a minute with a pen or pencil. ' "Because children of this age are so concerned with the mechanics of penm a n s h i p, writing is a clumsy and slow process,". Erickson said. "Earlier research has dem onstrated that 10 and 11-year-olds can learn to type by the touch system, but this is the first time that children in so many different school systems have a typewriter on their desks for use during the entire school day." Dr. Donald D. Durrell, pro fessor of education at Boston university, another of the ex perts directing the experi ment, said "typewriting should prove especially useful to bright pupils working at ad vanced tasks. It should be equally advantageous to the child who is poor in reading, spelling and written expres sion." "Quality and speed of hand writing is, of course, of con cern to us during the experi ment. But possibly the neat ness of typewritten work will encourage improvement in handwriting." The research is supported by grants from the Royal Mc Bee corporation Philip M. Zenner, president of the firm, said "we believe it is our place as a major manufacturer of typewriters to take the lead in providing financial support for this completely scientific and professional study."
