UPI Wonmen'i Editor
New "York (CPD Look to
your laurels, ladies.
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."

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.

New York - (LTD - "Hitting
the books" also means hitting
typewriter keys for some very
special fourth and fifth grad
ers in 30 Illinois, New York
and Massachusetts schools.
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."
