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

Minister
Speaks On
Frontiers
The Rev. John O. 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.
Mrs. Glenn Taylor, chair
man of the nominating com
mittee, presented the follow
ing slate of officers: Presi
dent. Mrs. B. J. Holland: vice
president, Mrs.- L. H. Bohrer:
secretary, Mrs. Ward Lamp-k'-;
and treasurer, Miss Ruth
Nye.
Mrs: John Decver and Mrs.
Glenn Taylor, Joint hostesses,
poured from a beautifully ap
pointed May day table. Mrs.
Glenn Linn, social chairman,
was assisted by Mesdames
Robert Bridge, Charles Coyle,
L, G. Frink, and A.C. Pierce.
