Several days ago we had a nice chat with Mrs. Clara
Herring, who lives at 820 Bennett avenue. Mrs. Herring
called to say that she knew Helen Adams, who has been

sister, and since Mr. Pieper is a nephew of Mrs. Herring,
they were all together for a family gathering.
Mrs, Herring Is absolutely sure that Helen Adams de
serves her honor as Teacher of the Year. Mrs. H. recalled that
Helen has a most outstanding personality, said everyone
loved her and that the family nickname for her is "Honey."
. Then there was that day when we wrote about the
little dandelion-eating birds we watched next door. There's
no doubt that a lot of southern Oregon and northern Cali
fornia residents are Interested in birds, because in no time
at all we had a number of notes and calls saying that they
were finches. Elizabeth Smith relayed a message through
Pal Peg to say that we should read Page 180 of Peterson's
book on birds, and Peg added to the message the fact that
her mother had identified the birds as seed-eating finches
which are common in New Mexico.
"Mrs. Hornbrook," (Mrs. Harry Chapman; the Tribune's
reporter there) said great flocks of the little finches had
been spending some time in the fields in their neighborhood,
and Mrs. Nathan Deaver called to say that many of these
finches are to be found near their home on Old Stage road.
.
Mrs. Floyd C. Freeman wrote to say that she is an "unof
ficial bird watcher", said she had seen a few of the small
finches with the greenish-yellow breasts, and also described
a pair of small birds with dark red upper back and upper
breasts which had built a nest on the Freeman's porch in
an ivy vine. Peterson identifies these as California purple
finches, but adds that "purple is hardly the word; old rose
Is more like it," or "like a sparrow dipped in berry juice."
'This is a very good description of those we see in our yard
every spring. They invariably try to build nests in some spot
where the household decides they just couldn't be allowed
to remain. . . , '
1 We also had a recent letter from Myra L. Dutton who had
read about our pleasure In the little wild rose bushes we had
' found on our property, and she warned that "No neighbor
will love you for your wild roses-they take over an entire
pasture." Pappy says she is right, but we couldn't resist re
minding him that a few bushes grew on the other side of
our road for several years without spreading across, and
that they seemed to be confined to a small area and even
tually disappeared, Maybe ours Won't become a nuisance.
About a year ago we published an article from Oregon
State college which said that there are 12 or 15 varieties of
sweetbriar and other wild roses in Oregon, some of which
are not native, but were brought west in the early days by
the settlers, and have since
spread more readily than others. ,.
Charles Frances Saunders, whose book about native west
ern flowers we have used for
half-dozen species, but that rosa
mon. He adds that "No California wild flower gave greater
pleasure to the pioneering Spaniards of a century and a half
ago" and adds that they were often mentioned in ine manes
of the early Franciscan missionaries. He concludes with the
fact that a kindred species known as the redwood rose can
sometimes be found in the shady woods of the Coast range,
and that it is smaller and daintier than rosa californica.
Helen Gilkey describes five wild roses in her Handbook of
Northwest Flowering Plants, including rosa rubiginosa, the
iweetbrier, which she says was an introduction from Europe,
rosa gymnocarpa, (redwood) which is the "smallest and
daintiest wild rose" and rosa nutkana, the "largest and most
Widely distributed wild rose." .
In Pappy's collection of colored pictures of wild flowers
he has one of a dwarf rose growing on a hot slope high in
the Siskiyou mountains. It was about four inches high and

who helped him do the cata
loguing, concluded that:
- Women do not like house
work in any form.
-Men hate fallen leaves
and compost piles and grass
that won t grow sideways.
There was quite an over
lap of things wanted invented
. ; . a multiple desire for some
way to wash windows on both
sides at once, for lightweight
raincoats that don't get moist
and clammy inside, for a cen
tral theater ticket agency
like an airlines ticket agency,
non-losable golf balls, effi
cient windshield wipers,
dwarf or non-growing grass,
and can openers for left-handed
people.
One employee suggested
self-cleaning or throwaway
sheets. Still another wanted a
home dry cleaner unit that
also presses.
Keezer rounded up 27 sug
gestions for car improvement
alone. Five persons wanted
improved windshield wipers,
three suggested a driver con
trol button for locking all
doors for children's safety,
and one executive wanted a
gadget to pre-heat the steer
ing wheel in winter.
Clothing Suggestions
In men's clothing, sugges
tions included throwaway
shirts and clamps 7m trousers
to hold them up without need
of a belt. -
Suggestions for women's
clothing included a "materni
ty girdle to expand and sub
sequently contract," expand
able clothes for growing chil
dren, adhesive for buttons
(no more sewing on), and con
vertible shoes so that one pair
could be matched to all
clothes.
The list of needed inven
tions for the house ran. the
longest - 44 in all - and in
cluded requests for a six-
month floor wax that really
lasts that long, inexpensive
throwaway curtains and drap
eries, something to keep a
piano in tune, a driple'ss
paint, an escape - proof con
tainer for an eight-months-old
baby, and a waterproof mir
ror for shaving in the shower.
One executive called for
"an automatic blab-off on hi
fi to cut out rock 'n' roll."
In the beverage depart
ment, suggestions were for
coffee packaged in layers so
that the last is as fresn as the
first, and a vacuum pack cof
fee container shaped so that
it won't spill when emptied
into the cannister.
There were two other sug
gestions for cocktails - a non
