14 MAIL TIIIUNI, MWfets. 0 MM iim . -nllarl inln night and our spring (left over from last year) vacation was ei.ded. our first thought was "how can grass possibly grow ' so tall in such a few days?" About the only time a gardener should take a vacation is in the middle of the winter. n.it we aren't reallv unhappy about the state of our little garden, for we had been enjoying the sight of nature s gardens, and those of our relatives and friends, while our own went untended. In the garden of relatives in Chelan, Wash is a graceful and colorful ornamental maple tree which' was placed in the yard so that whoever works at the kitchen sink may look up and see it, framed in the window. There is also a lovely pink dogwood in the yard, in full bloom at that time, and dozens of others, along with lilacs of many shades, were to be seen in gardens nearby. Friday morning we left Chelan early and drove to W'en aicliee where we had breakfast with the Elliott Degmans, long-time friends who lived in Medford many years while tlliott D. was with the USDA here. Both Chelan and Wen aichee are encircled by the vast folding hills characteristic of the Columbia river area in northern Washington, and the cool rainy spring, about which we heard complaints on all sides, nevertheless is responsible for their lush green look, a look which the entire Pacific northwest has this spring. The Degmun's garden has hundreds of tulips and several fine lilacs, and the last of the narcissi were still in bloom. One of these, a white, double flower almost as large as a camellia, had an especially sweet perfume like carnations i n- Un.ttmti r,, a nnnlo nl hulhc fomc rituuinu lime. The Degman s middle son. Charles Allen, also break fasted with us, and later his charming wife and handsome little brown-eyed son, Brian, came to meet the visitors. Charles leaches in one of the Wenatchee elementary schools, and the two homes are located close together, an arrange- which pleases the new grandparents who are glad to fill i the role of baby sitters. Luckily the White Pass highway was open the two of us had driven over Blewett many times, but never over the entire distance of White Pass which connects the Ellens burg and Yakima areas with the Tacoma, Centralia-Chehallis section. To better enjoy the magnificent mountain scenery, we put the top down on the Doll and even though rain threatened and we ran through a couple of showers, kept it down for almost the entire trip. Clouds veiled the high peaks, however, and we had not so much as a glimpse of Mt. Rainier. This trip on a clear day can be a wonderful one; the highway runs for miles along Rimrock lake formed by damming the Tieton river, and the forested mountains are imposing. There are fishing resorts, a ski area, tourist facilities and mountain homes. Central Washington's hills were covered with the yellow daisies, dwarf pink pholox and the bright blue lupine which is one of the west's loveliest and most abundant wild flowers. On the western slopes the yellow is provided by scotch broom on the hills and various meadow plants, in cluding buttercups and even the lowly skunk cabbage, color the fields. We saw only one car from Alaska. It was a station wagon with a baby's crib in the back and on top two extra tires and a 10-gallon can labeled gasoline. Pappy came up with the information that motorists traveling the Alcan highway must carry the extra tires and emergency gasoline supplies. Road signs provided the comic relief. We giggled over "Soup Creek" and "Slow Worms." A sign at the outskirts o Joseph, Ore., reads "This town Is heaven to us, don't drive like hell." One at the entrance of Elgin, Ore., reads "Slow Down This Is A One Hearse Plans Announced For Family Night A potluck dinner will be held during the Medford YMCA family night. Friday, May 20. It is set for 6:30 p.m. and families arc asked to bring their own tabic service and "white elephant" items for game prizes.

Reynolds, minister of Westminster Pres byterian church, spoke at a recent meeting of the College Women's Club of the Rogue River Valley on the topic "Frontiers of the Church." Among the frontiers listed was that of theological real ism, which followed a period of liberalism in which the idea of progress was dominant. The emphasis was on build ing of the kingdom of God, but it largely ignored God's plan of redemption from sin through Christ, the speaker said. This nco - orthodoxy brought back a "structured theology." The second frontier was that of Biblical theology, which had, to a certain extent, been 'iscredited by the so called higher criticism of the Scriptures, the minister de clared. Recently the authen ticity of the Bible has been re-established by the dis covery of innumerable an cient scrolls, he added. Another frontier is the ecumenical mnvpmpnt uhinh cuts across horizontal denom- inationalism. The work of the World Council of Churches has done much to bring about this concept of purpose, it was said, and there has been a new trend in the missionary work of the church. The ideal is now to make the work in digenous rather than to graft the Western, or "white man's" religion on to a foreign root, the minister explained. Among the new frortiers is that of language. Recent dis coveries have shown that the Greek used in the Bible was not the learned langin nf the classics but rather it was me colloquial language of the people of that time: hence the movement now to make the Bible intelligible to the lay man. In America, at lnnt th frontier of human relationship is in the forefront now, the speaker said. The earnestness wnn which the Southern churches are stiiHvintr inio. gration is heartening, he said. Aiioiner frontier is a new method of bringing the Church to the world. Both Catholic priests and Protes tant clergymen have donned working clothes in order to be in a better position to bring the gospel of Christ to those who could not be reached through the usual channels of the Church, the speaker de clared. Finally there may be an entirely new frontier brought about bv the eomin of the space age, the minister concluded, i Mrs. Gtftrn RmumiM chairman of 'he scholarship committee, introduced Miss Joyce Hunter of Phoenix, win ner of this year's scholarship. Miss Hunter will study ele mentary education at South ern Oregon college and will also continue her work In music.
