ALICE HILL poses before her Japanese Iris. Many Varieties Of Roses Grown By Mrs. Verne Hill few violets yet, however, and a rex begonia and cacti. She also raises a vegetable garden, from which she cans and freezes foods. Alice Hill likes antiques, and she has a collection of cut glass and hand-painted china. She is a member of the American ,Legion Auxiliary and of the Veterans of World War One Auxiliary. She belongs to the Hood Canal Woman's Club and to the ltood Canal (;arden Club. She is the newly-elected Chapeau of the 8-and-40 Club, and also held this office two years ago. She is very active in these organizations, and she serves as chairman of the American Legion Auxiliary dinners and luncheons. Forty or more hybrid tea roses, old-fashioned roses, and countless varieties of plants both old and new grace the gardens of Alice Hill, and surround her Skokomish Valley home. She and her husband Verne have resided in the valley for the past eight years, and have been in the Shelton area since 1945. They formerly lived for 17 years at Lake Cushman. There, too, she had lots of flowers. She has always been a gardener. Mrs. Hill likes all flowers too much to name a favorite. She grows azaleas and rhododendrons. several types of iris, including English, Siberian and Japanese; day lilies and Persian lilies: peonies, fuschias, geraniums, daisies, gladioli, narcissus of all sorts, assorted rockery plants and many, many more.

Registration papers for camp were distributed. Kim Wright sang the grace before sack lunches were eaten. Following the lunch, the girls swam in Turtle Lake, after which cake, ice cream and Kool-Aid were served by the leaders, Mrs. MacRae and Mrs. Schmiege. by Lori Engebretson, reporter Hummingbirds Are Being Killed By Excess Sugar According to the Dirt Dobbers Garden Club, hummingbirds are becoming scarce. They are being killed with kindness. Misinformed persons, according to Agnes Kangas, vice-president of the club, are filling their feeders with a solution too rich in sugar, The proper proportions are nine parts of water to one part of sugar. No honey should be offered to the birds, as they obtain a sufficient amount naturally. Mr. and Mrs. Verne Hill have a son who lives in Idaho Falls, and Banner rauualeu f"~ .J & ..I I'm virtuously working. 1 am inclined to be very irritated at the high-handed manner in which the consumer is ordered about by the manufacturer. 1 refer specifically to the rude and superior way in which it is demanded that we open packages by a certain well-defined procedure. Having bought and paid for the boxed product, i maintain that it is the inalienable right of each and every citizen to fight his way through the wrappings by whatever method he so chooses. In the first place. I consider pure nastiness the current trend to build the soap and cereal box in such fashion that all but those holding advanced degrees in engineering have need of a blueprint. In the second place, if instructions are necessary why should they not be couched in gentle language and phrased as a polite request? "Please read the fine print before attempting to open this package. There is a tin pouring scoop cleverly concealed beneath the outer paper, and it will slice your fingers to crimson ribbons before you can say 'Krispy Krunchy'! For best results, may we suggest that you run the tip of a stainless steel, bone-handled, seven-and-a-half-inch paring knife under the first layer of paper and cut carefully three inches to the left: then please, pierce between the second layer of paper and the first layer of cardboard and, following the zig-zag line, draw knife upward. (OOOOOPS! Did you cut yourself? So sorry!) Now, penetrate through the cardboard, if you don't mind, and continue cutting. Please feel free to stop and rest if you are tired .... Finished? There! Wasn't that FUN?" Homemakers of America, arise! Rebel! Open those boxes with a hatchet if necessary, but I just may in a fit of temper tear Certificates of Awards and the it off, ,rod then I'll be in for it. I wonder how heavy a penalty such an offense would merit? There'd be little chance of a deferred sentence in the case of so dastardly a crime. Upon a life of crime, I think, I never shall embark: In fright, 1 die a thousand deaths Each time 1 double park. My kid decided to peel cascara bark for some extra cash. He walked for miles until he found a fine big tree, and worked diligently for hours. He would have had quite a few dollars worth of bark, except that it turned out to be willow. People often ask me how I go about writing my verse. 1 don't: it writes itself. Deep down in the dark and cobwebby recesses of my untidy subconscious there reposes a jumble of miscellaneous odds and ends hoarded throughout my widely varied years. 1 could search there all day and never lay my hands on the reports of the Department convention held in Yakima. Marcia Jo Ervin was present to receive a certificate of award for the Scholarship program, she also receives $250.00 toward her education. A potluck picnic will be held at Mason Lake on August l bth and all members and their families are invited. Coffee, ice cream and pop will be furnished, but each person should bring his own table service. Several members journeyed to McCleary to attend the Bear Festival Saturday. Those attending were Eva Swope, Marge Witcraft, Betty Godwin, Darrell Sparks and George Witcraft. The V.F.W. was entered in the parade S a t u r d a y, and the comrades marched in the parade, carrying the colors. A rummage sale is being planned for the 7th of August at the P.U.D. building and the next regular meeting will bc held August 17th. School Reunion desired item. However, my inner self has always delighted in Set At little Rock playing games with this conglomeration of fact, fancy and misinformation which is ultimately presented to me, gleefully, in verse form. Some of it requires a good deal of editing. By beauty I Am less inspired Than by the thought Of being fired: And when the cold Hard deadline nears, Miraculously, Verse appears. The Little Rock School Reunion will be held August 9 in the Little Rock Grange Hall. A potluck buffet lunch will be served at noon, with coffee, cream and sugar furnished. Door prizes will be given.
