Old Man Admires Flower Garden At the first turn of the road that leads up on Capitol Hill is u little white cottage. It is almost obscured by roses and shrubs, but one would not notice it anyhow for what would catch ones at tention is the wonderful array of flowers that suddenly comes into view. All the way across the front and as far back as one can see is all a magnificient flower garden. Flowers of all kinds, flowers that are not even found in the gardens of the big cities, for flowers seem to grow for the man who lives there with a greater vigor and beauty than for others. In truth, he must have the green thumb for here is proof indeed. Bordered with flowers are the steps that lead up to the house tor it sits high above the street and from its vine covered porch one can see far across the beautiful Nehalem valley and the town of Vernonia, beyond the great mills of the Oregon-American Lumber corporation to where Pebble Creek winds down from the green hills. There are flowers of every kind; rosies vie with gladioli for dainty beauty; tall lilies nod chaste white heads in welcome; the dahlias are a riot of robust color and the hollyhocks, brazen hussies, flount their beauties to the world and away back by the vine maple, whose leaves are already tipped with golden flame, is a wild cur rent bush, Near by is tha sun- flower whose face faithfully fjl- lows the sun from dawn till sun- set. There is a bank of sweet peas by the corner of the house, a six foot wall of bsauty, their fragrance, through the open win- BALLET LESSONS Begin Sat.

But it is the Lttie Gowers tiiat he loves best, the primrose, the violets, the petunias, the little flowers that grow close to the ground for they need more care, more careful tending and it were ever thus, those who most need our care and devotion are always the best beloved, And he is not nig- gardly. One always leaves with an armful of choice blooms, But he has wrought far better than he knew. The road there is a blind corner and a car coming up the hill cannot see one coming down, the hill is steep and, if one does not drive slowly and keep far over on the road, dis- aster may follow, But who is so callus that he will not slow up in admiration of the floral wonderland that suddenly comes in view? This factor, I am sure, has prevented many accidents at this dangerous corner. I, myself once had a narrow escape but, as I aproached the turn, as was my wont, I drove slowly- and far to the side of the road the better to see the gladiolus blooms that first came into view. A car com ing down the hill in a cloud of dust, missed me by a hair’s breath, leaving me breathless and shaken. Had it not been for Ernie Herman and his flower garden I might not new be penning these lines in grateful tribute to a good man for one who loves flowers as d es h? could not be aught but a good man. Yesterdays FIVE YEARS AGO From The Eagle, Sept. 21, 1944 Wallace McCrae has been named chairman of the legislative com mittee of the Oregon state teachers association, the committee being the number one group of the north west part of the state.
