Many of the 100,000 per sons in California directly con nected Willi the wine-growing industry arc expected to attend as well as the autumn tourist flood.

San Francisco, aspiring to share with Paris honors as one of the great wine .capitals of the world, is the commercial center of the state's wine industry and the geographical center of the immediate area producing the finest varietal vintages. Churchwomen Discuss Work As Volunteers ASHLAND "Whnra KhnnM . Christian Woman Volunteer Her 'Where No Flags Fly Reviewed in Ashland Ashland "Where No Flags Fly" by Frederick Ayer Jr., was reviewed by Mrs. Faith McCul lough at the Monday afternoon meeting of Ashland Study club when Mrs. Angela Sharyon was hostess. Prefacing her review with a brief resume of a dozen current "best sellers" Mrs. McCullough expressed the belief that this is no time for euphoria and for es cape reading, that conditions de mand a facing of facts even though they be unpleasant and quoted the author of the book she chose who said "If I suc ceed in offending certain Ameri cans a little and certain Commu nists a great deal, I shall have attained my purpose." "Where No Flags Fly" is a novel of facts woven into an un believable story of counterespi onage, according to Mrs. Mc Cullough. The author's many years service as special assist ant for intelligence to the secre tary of the U.S. Air Force, his work in Europe during and after World War II give authenticity. It is the story of two men, one a lonely American scientist, the other a high Soviet army officer, both branded as traitors, the reviewer said. It is also the story of a beautiful woman and a great love. All gave their lives in a thankless struggle to avert a world war and a human holo caust, she said. Theirs was a war fought in a land where no bands play and no flags fly. Intrigue This revelation of communist intrigue and world conquest con tains documentation and veri fied (acts now known to anyone who checks the progress of So viet take-over and is guaranteed to shake apathetic Americans out of their complacency," said tlie revicwor, adding "We are following the blueprint laid down by Lenin and never abundoncd.

She bused not only destruction but some amusing experiences as well. The fact that most of the Rogue valley and Ashland in particular had been spared a major part of the freak disaster made Mrs. Burgess conclude her report with the words, "I am more thankful than ever that I live in this beautiful place where storms seldom strike and where we enjoy moderate weather." During the intermission a snort business meeting was con- j Medford, wi ducted by the president, Mrs. York staff Valley Secretaries Plan .
