blooms Monday afternoon when

Club held its annual Flower
Show, under the chairmanship of
Mrs. A. L. Burney and Miss Helen
Butler. The exhibits—a total of
127—were lined up -around the
sides of the large hall and the
directors’ room, the latter being
devoted to the 25 entries of 16
beys and girls. There were 51 ex
hibitors, in all.
In the adult division there were
arrangements for various places
and occasions, the effectiveness of
many being greatly enhanced by
the exhibitor’s choice of contain
er.
Imagination really ran wild in
the children’s division, where
“Beauty and Vegetarians” was the
theme. In the vegetable division.
Rosy Chandler copped first place
with a vegetable and fruit family
which included parents and one
child. Her prize was an eagle vase.
Two red ribbons and prizes were
given in this division. Kate Butler
was presented a wild flower book
for her “Madame Pompadour,” a
•dainty little vegetable lady wear
ing a frilly lettuce skirt, sitting
before a mirror whe^se frame was
formed of a ring of green pepper.
Dan Butler received a swan vase
for his “Atom Sun Bather,” a
crimson tomato figure reclining
beneath a crookneck yellow
squash sunlamp.
In the children’s division, Diana

flower vase prize for her vase of
orchids and spirea; the fourth

Sontag second, a pair of green
thumb gloves.
There were three who tied for
second place as winners of the
highest number of red ribbons:
Mrs. Harold Collins, Miss Billie
Williams and Mrs. A. Montesanti.
In the drawing Miss Williams
placed first, winning a garden
trowel, and Mrs. Collins second,
her prize being gladioli bulbs.
Viewing of the exhibits, for the
most part, took place before the
program and seating time found
it necessary to collect all available
chairs in the building and these
were not enough to seat the
crowd.
Mrs. Virgil P. Clark, Civic Club
president, paid tribute to those
who had headed the flower show,
and .expressed her appreciation
of the fine cooperation which had
been given her on every hand
since she became president.
The program consisted of two-
films, “Springtime in Holland,”
and “How To Plant Dutch
Bulbs,” Jimi Hatch, a high school
student, operated the projector.
The sound films, which showed in
color Holland’s magic carpet,
caused many to determine to plant
bulbs next fall.
Announcement of winners and
presentation of prizes by the co-
chairmen foUo-wed the program.
Tea was served, with Miss
Norma Shiring and Mrs. Wade
Stevick pouring.
