MEDFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1960
Almost Spring
February in the Rogue valley is a "between time" the calendar says it's still winter but an occasional
mild day and the look of the garden and hills says it's almost spring. Tuesday five-year-old Randy Mar
tin didn't care what season it was, but he did know that it was good kite-flying weather, so he went
out and had great fun. Randy's parents, the John L. Martins of 3410 Madrona lane, his older brother,
Glenn, 8, and sister, Christine 10, are all sports minded. Bowling is one of the family activities, and
Christine is president of the bantam league at the Roxy Ann lanes.

While waiting for spring and warm weatherr gardeners leaf through catalogs and plan what new perennials, shrubs and trees they :
will plant. Mrs. Judd Greenman, who came to Medford two years ago after having lived in Vernonia and Portland, is interested in garden
ing and is a new member of Medford Garden club. Mrs. Greenman plans to expand her rose plot this year, and has been studying
catalogs before selecting new varieties. Mrs. Greenman makes her home at 2120 East Main street; her son and daughter-in-iaw, Mr. and
Mrs. E. H.. Greenman and their family live on Aloha street.
Lorl Constance Earnest likes to be out
doors, but when the February wind
blows cold, she sometimes sits at her
blackboard-desk and draws with chalk.
Connie, as she is called by her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Earnest, 1532
South Stage road, is almost always smil
ing but became very serious while writ
ing her name for Photographer Robert
Vroman. Her paternal grandparents are
Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Earnest of Cargill
court.

Indoors or outdoors, one of John Campbell Boals' favorite toys is this truck carrier loaded wtih tiny automobiles.
John, who will be four years old February 16, is a son of Dr. and Mrs. David Boals, Glenn Oak court. John's
older brother and sister are Susan, 12, and David, 10, and his playmates also include Till Eulenspiegel, a friendly
Dachshund dog named for the German folk story and song character. The Boals family came to Medford a few
years ago from Portland.
Three Medford women are filling the late winter and pre-spring months with plans for an extended tour of Europe which will
begin in May. The women, Mrs. Carroll Miller (at left), Mrs. Aim us Pruitt. and Mrs. A. C. Allen Jr., and their husbands will be
joined by Mr. and Mrs. Angus L. Bowmer, Ashland, for the tour. About once a week the group meets to work on the itinerary
and talk happily of such events as the famous Salzburg festival, seeing Shakespeare performed in the theater at Stratford-on-
Avon in England and a horse and wagon tour of Ireland.
