A long-cherished ambition ii being realized thii tummer by Mrs. Carl Fehige, 1810 Orchard Home court, who left Med lord last Sunday to spend several weeks in Norway. Mrs. Fehige's parents were born and reared in that country, and it has been her dream to visit their homeland. She made the trip from Los Angeles to Oslo by a Scandinavian jetliner. MANOR-ISMS . . . . By ETHEIYN EVANS On the Rogue Manor ground floor (yes, I have talked frequently about that ground floor, but it is quite fabulous) we have an up-to-date bar ber shop. Fay King is the bar bcr in charge, and he is al ways busy Tuesdays and Thursdays. It seems that even those men who have adopted the "Yul Brynncr" fashion, still need something or other every now and then. This barber shop is one of Families Attend Commencements Hornbrook - Mrs. W. A. Hutledge, daughter Ann and sons David and John drove to Chico, Calif., last week to at tend graduation ceremonies at Chico State college. The Rut ledge's daughter.

FOE Auxiliary To Nominate Nominations for conduct ress will be made at a meet ing of the auxiliary to the Fraernal Order of Eagles lodge when they meet Thurs day. June 21, at 8 p.m. in the Eagle hail. the three things that our men staunchly defend as exclusive ly theirs for men only. The second place Is the "men's lounge," located behind glass partitions in the corner of the large recreation room in the south wing. This room is fur nished comfortably, has smok ing stands, television sets and a number of tables ready for all kinds of card games. Al most all of the time some of our men are using this room. I doubt if anything startling would happen should some brave woman member ven ture in, but so far as I know no woman has. We wives have been content to stand outside and wig-wag until the signaled husband reluctantly ambles out in response. The third item Invisibly la beled "men only" seems to be the big billiard table next to the lounge. It is fully equip ped with lighting, cues, count ers, etc., and I have never seen a woman trying out for billiards. No chance, in any event, as it is always in use, and I understand some of our members are truly expert. Pool, now, is something else again! The pool tables wander down the room from the bil liard table; and our distaff side of the membership has gone all-out for pool. Some enthusiasts rush down there about dawn (even before the earliest breakfast hour) to practice. We have three pool tables fully equipped. At first there were only two, but our men simply couldn't lake so much competition, so a num ber of them contributed to a fund offered by the Recrea tion committee and the third table arrived. While not ex clusively for women. It Is un derstood that we do have first priority. Our "Weedcrs" react to sun shine, it seems. Along the west boundary on our Hill Top there has been an annoyingly large strip of high, dry weeds. We tried ignoring and looking over the top, since it did seem a job for men and bulldozers. However, Mrs. Ray Lovett, Palo Alto, demonstrating the old American do-it-yourself spirit, bought a hoe and val iantly tackled that seemingly impossible job. Suddenly, she found herself the leader of a gang armed with hoes and shovels, jovously digging away beside her. The result is a nearly cleared strip which enables us to watch the work on the new freeway and Bear creek and really enjoy the western view. A large number of Medford people, now residents of the Manor, have kept their mem bership in Rogue Valley Coun try club. Now thrv are being joined by many Manor mem bers who arc newcomers to the valley. Some have joined ' for the golfing nd evcry- i thing, others just for the fun and food. This is another pleas- I ant instance of Manor and val ley cooperation and associi- I lion. t Garden Tour Taken bv 60 m Members of Medford Club Approximately sixty mem bers and their guests attend ed the Garden tour and lunch eon given by the Medford Gar den club last Thursday. The first garden visited was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd C. Kline, 522 Franquette avenue. Mr. Kline, nationally known as a lily grower and hybridizer, conducted the tour and explained the Interesting features of his garden. The shade garden contains many native shade plants and nu merous ferns, many of which are hybrids which cannot be found commercially. Mr. Kline said that he trades plants with growers throughout the nation and he has many unusual plants not found in catalogs and nurser ies. He also collects native plants and flowers and trans plants them to situations in his garden which correspond to their natural growth hab its. Mr. Kline called atten tion to a 14-year-old redwood which he grew from seed. Mr. Kline told them that the screed bed contains the poorest soil possible, receives full sun and lots of heat and gets very little water, but has something in bloom all the time. New Garden The next garden visited was that of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Cooley at 2215 Siskiyou bou levard, which is new. The gentle slope is terraced into separate areas and the walls are retained with decorative rock. A great deal of white rock was used to define beds and accent individual plants and gravel walks led to all parts of the garden. Mrs. Cooley said that Mr. Cooley drew all the plans himself and that they did all the work and planting themselves. The covered patio was filled with fuchsias, both on benches and in hanging baskets. The third garden was that of a club member, Mrs. How ard Bush at 202 North Barne burg road. Mrs. Bush is a collector of native and wild plants and is also a bird watcher. Her large hillside garden reflects the natural growth of oaks and evergreens and shrubs native to this area which attract birds to feed and make their homes. Hillside Garden The final garden of the tour was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Witham, 2631 East over terrace. This is also a hillside garden and is ter raced with rocks. Huge oaks shade the rocked beds of ferns, rhododen drons, azaleas and other shade plants. One area was set aside for a variety of fruit trees and a vegetable garden. A rose garden filled an open sunny spot at the rear of the property. Throughout the garden with tall fovglove, some taller than the viewers' head, with enormous spikes of blooms. Another plant was mountain laurel, or Kalmia. At noon the party met at the Rogue Valley Country club for luncheon in the Top Flight room. After lunchton reports were made by all out going officers and committee chairmen, and Mrs. Ira Fitz- gereld showed slides "The Year in Review."
