Accompanying the new queen to the altar where she was crowned, were her god child, Gay ZIttercob, who served as flower girl, and Richard Harnded, her grand nephew, who was crown bear er. Following the coronation Mrs. George Bryant, Coqullle, a past queen of the order, sang "Prayer Perfect." As she walked . to the throne, the queen's husband, Mr. Peters, played an organ solo.

Robert Jacks. . , ; - The board met last week at the home' of Mrs. Dale C Prentice, who was assisted by Mrs. William S. Cobb. . ; Students To Return To School Monday Miss Jo Anna Malloroy and Miss Judith McFarlan, stu dents at Judson Baptist col lege, Portland, are guests of Miss Malloroy's parents,' Mr. and Mrs. E. 'A. Malloroy, Cra ter Lake highway. The young women arrived Wednesday and will return to school Mon day. .They are to be joined to day by Miss McFarlan's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles McFarlan, Klamath Falls. Mr. McFarlan is an announcer with KFLW radio station. Tucson, Ariz. We've only been in this city about three hours but already we know that it is a busy, bustling and noisy place. It is sprawled out over a lot of territory and the 6 o'clock traffic was thick in all directions. The road map we carry gives the 1950 population as 48,000, and our sister-in-law here says local residents claim about 220,000, Sounds fantastic. We struck up our usual conversation with the waitress who served our dinner tonight, and asked her about several men across the restaurant who wore work clothes and hadn't bothered to remove their metal safety helmets, while eating. She said they probably worked at the missile base "there are three here now," she added. We didn't know anything about missile beses, but we knew there had to be an Air Force base nearby for frequently too frequently, a jet flies over low. The noise sounds like a swiftly-moving train rush ing through the middle of the room, and we have to resist the impulse to duck under cover. Since arriving we recalled a recent conversation with the commanding officer of the base at Klamath Falls. It followed a talk for the Red Cross during which he said residents of the Medford area shouldn't mind the sonic booms which rat tle windows and shake walls the planes are on constant alert against enemy attack and "should make you feel very safe," he said. Somehow, they have exactly the opposite effect. They make us uneasy, and keep reminding us how fantastic are the sums of money which the so-called civilized of the world are spending on ways to make war. Past Matrons and Patrons Honored by Reames Chapter Thirty-three past matrons and past patrons were honor ed at the last meeting of Reames chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, on March 23. Mrs. Roy V. Nordwick and E. G. Randolph, worthy matron and patron presided. The honored members and guests were introduced In a group and presented gifts.

During the introduc tion of the affiliated and visit ing past matrons and pRtrons, red carnations were present ed to them.

OPEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHTS 'TIL 9 ferret rnflrci After dinner we took a walk in the crisp evening air and enjoyed enormously what we could see of the cactus plantings at motels and other places of business. Suddenly an absolutely heavenly perfume came floating our way and we wondered what flower or tree produced such sweetness. A few steps further and we found the source two orange trees. We know they were orange trees, for one had fruit on it, as well as the little white blossoms. - ; ; : , ) This tourist also learned a lot about the desert vegeta tion today. The two of us detoured off the main highway and spent a few hours in Organ Pipe Cactus National monu ment. To our mind, the organ pipe cactus are less interesting than the giant saguaros yesterday and today we saw thou sands upon thousands of the saguaros and we found their telephone-pole heights and grotesque "arms" endlessly inter esting. Some of the larger specimens are said to be about 200 years old. The saguaro is called the "trademark" of the desert and is the state flower of Arizona. The fruit resemble small egg-shaped cucumbers and are a source of food for both birds and rodents. Indians formerly used them as food when crops failed, according to our book on Southwest wildf lowers. The displays at the Organ Pipe cactus monument inform the visitor that the "desert is not 'deserted' " and prove It. We learned of the hundreds of plants and the numerous birds and other creatures which make it their home. There are even little foxes, which roam abroad only at night, and believe It or not, the monument boasts of a pond of water Which has fUh tiny little native minnows. From a picture on the wall we learned that the creature we called a "turtle" in our last article is really a desert "tortoise" one of these days we'll look in the dictionary and learn more about turtles and tortoises. Probably the most interesting addition to our vocabulary and stock of knowledge was the fact that some desert crea tures "estlvate." Estlvate is the opposite of hibernate that is, they go underground and stay there for periods in order to escape the searing heat of the desert. The Harris ground squirrel was given as an example. The cactus monument is a popular camp spot. The camp ing area appeared, to be filled, with about 35 or 40 house trailers and other motorized camper equipment crowded into a relatively- small area. The desert certainly is not "deserted" any way you look at It. ." a . Wednesday Morning This morning we woke to clouds, occasional rain and a cold wind. We had visions of taking a sun bath and relaxing beside the swimming pool; instead we're glad to be inside with the. gas heater going. A pool, It seems, is now standard equipment for every motel, even the modest ones which Pappy and Potpourri patronize. Some of them are little larger than a bath tub, but they' are apparently a necessity in order to attract the traveling public. ' . Pappy has put the top up on the Doll again, and on the schedule next is a luncheon date and a tour around this mushroom 200 square miles of metropolis. O.S. ' : v Tucson, Ariz. If there are those still unbelieving about the shortage of classrooms and teachers in some sec tions of the United States, let them visit Tucson. Wednesday night we had dinner with our relatives here, and heard the talk about the over-crowded conditions in Tucson schools. The daughter in the household, a sophomore in high school, gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day for her classes begin at 6:30 a.m. Luckily, she lives only two blocks from her school, and doesn't have to consume a great deal of time in going and pomlng. She has one class after lunch, returns home and takes a nap in the afternoon, since the early rising hour invariably cuts short her night-time rest. At least one junior high school in the city begins classes at 6 a.m., we were told. The afternoon classes are over at 5:30 or 6 p.m. The sophomore said that next year she would automatically inherit an afternoon schedule, because of her subjects. A new high school is being planned, and if it 1b completed in time, it is hoped that by the time she is a senior, she may be able to enjoy a more normal school routine. Tucson's school problem, of course, stems from a pop ulation which has grown so rapidly that the city's services and facilities cannot catch up. The city has the reputation of being "rich," - there are hundreds of expensive auto mobiles on the streets, horse racing and dog racing are both advertised, and there are liquor stores, restaurants, cocktail lounges and night clubs in abundance. By our standards, Tucson has other problems, too It. rained hard here this morning and when we drove across the city about 10 miles from our motel to the home where we lunched ; we took one of the city's main arterial streets and at every intersection there was a lake. For blocks and blocks there are paved streets, but no sidewalks as yet, and apparently no storm sewers. The rain washed great gobs of dirt and sand and left it in unexpected places the sides of the street paving gave way in good-sized holes and auto wheels fell into these with unpleasant results. Small streams of water were running in all directions. "Tucson doesn't know what to do with water," sighed a woman where we tried to buy hair nets. "When it rains hard, everyone gets worried and wants to head for home." After driving around the city for an hour or two just to see what it Is like, we decided Mayor John Snyder knew what he was doing whfn he vetoed a measure to allow advertising on benches at street corners. Tucson does have benches, they have gaudy advertising, both front and back, and they are hideous. Of course, Tucson has it beauty, too. We like the Spanish-style architecture, particularly of the buildings construct ed in earlier days, and the palms, cactus, and other plant ings are impressive. Some gardens have beds of petunias in fu,l bloom, roses are out, many home gardeners have plantings of stock and we saw many blooming shrubs with which we are not familiar. We've about quit asking people to give us the names of growing things. We always get a negative answer. Fashion note Don' Schellle, writing In the Tucson Dally Citizen, came up with what he called the "latest no wrinkle" in clothing for co-eds at the University of Arizona. The story, which he got from a friend, is that the girls buy the tightest Western style pants they can possibly squeeze into. Then they fill a bath tub with water, get In and thor oughly' soak the new pants. Then this is important they let the trousers dry on the body. "And there you are enough to make leotards look like baggy flannels," said the Tucson columnist. The latest "no wrinkle." O.S. Garden Club Lists Program Central Point Mrs. R. D.
