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

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." Mrs. Dayton
The boys and girls in Medford and the Rogue River Valley are out
