Florist Says
Flowers Add
Fresh Charm
John Stiles, local florist, demon
strated spring floral arrangements
for the home to Dames Club mem
bers Thursday evening. He told the
group:
“You don’t have to have any
thing expensive or elaborate. The
most inexpensive flower, your own
yard flowers or wild flowers, at
tractively arranged add charm and
beauty to your home—whether it
be rented room with kitchen privi
leges or a castle.”
Stiles, a 1948 graduate of A&M
and now owner of Stiles Floral Co.,
did four decorations suitable for
centerpieces or coffee table dis
plays. The first and second ar
rangements used ivy as a base.
These were placed inside earthen
ware pots still rooted in their con
tainers. Flowers and greenery were
added to make attractive displays.
For a festive air, Stiles added can
dles to show that the simple floral
displays could be used for more for
mal occasions.
One of the displays featured
pieces of modern pottery, “such as
one gets for wedding presents and
never knows quite how to use.”
Stiles used bachelor buttons and
daffodils in modeling clay and a
florist frog to emphasize pieces of
colorful pottery.
Chrysanthemums and bachelor
buttons in a chicken wire base in an
inexpensive piece of pottery made
an attractive coffee table display.
Stiles told the group that flow
ers should be a constant addition
of beauty to all homes. “From a
florist’s viewpoint,” he said, “we’d
rather you bought fifty-cents
worth of flowers often than wait
and spend several dollars for spe
cial occasions. Certainly such an
arrangement would add much more
floral enjoyment to your own
homes.”
At a business meeting prior to
the talk, President Margaret Oakes
presided. Betty Gouge was named
treasurer to fill a vacancy created
by the resignation of Hattie Tillot-
son. Lee Crozier presented recom
mendations for changes in the con
stitution. In accordance with na
tional regulations, these will be
voted on at the next meeting.
Marge Chaney, Ruth Stanford,
Myra Burke and Annette Carroll
were hostesses for the social hour.

ning at 7:30 in the South Sola
rium of the YMCA.
Frank Coulter, who describes
himself as a “professional liker of
books,” will review “In The Pink”
by Mildred Spurrier Topp for club
members. Coulter says that this is
the first humorous book he has
reviewed in a long time. “I usu
ally do novels,” he said, “because
they always seem to have greater
appeal to the average person.”
Mrs. J. W. Potts
Heads Music Club
Mrs. J. W. Potts, new president
of the Instrumental Music Spon
sors Club, presided over her first
meeting of the organization when it
met Thursday at A&M Consoli

going president.

during a business session. Super
intendent Les Richardson of the
school, told members that the
greatest need of the orchestra is
new instruments.
At a social hour, cookies and
coffee was served in the homemak
ing rooms.
Courtesy and safe driving go
hand in hand.

Deaths From
Slides Increase
Vienna, Jan. 23—UP)—The death
toll from an unprecendented series
of avalanche disaster in Austria,
Switzerland, Italy and France
climbed to 198 Monday night. New
avalanches claimed more lives in
Austria, but first word that relief
may be in sight came from Switz
erland.
A three-day snowfall over the
Alpine region abated and the Swiss
Federal Institute for avalanche re
search said in a bulletin “with the
setting of the snow and the drop
in temperature tonight the aval
anche danger had decreased sharp
ly.”
This was welcome news to hun
dreds of towns and villages fear
ful of new slides from heavy drifts
that still clung to mountainsides
above them.
In Austria 112 have lost their
lives; Switzerland 67; Italy, 15;
France, three. New avalanches
Monday night in Syria in the Brit
ish zone of Austria claimed addi
tional victims, including a two-
year-old child.
Most of the casualties and de
struction struck small communities
in isolated valleys.

Possibilities Of
Controls Told
Biloxi, Miss., Jan. 23—UP)—Price
and wage controls now would kill
off about 15 per cent of the na
tion’s production potential, the Na
tional Cotton Council was told
Monday.
“We can’t hope to out-control a
regimented country like Russia.
There is a substantial basis for as
suming we can out produce her,”
Roger Fleming of Chicago, Secre
tary-treasurer of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, told a
Council meeting,
“Those advocating immediate im
position of price and wage controls
apparently would, discard the tech
niques by which we achieve our
production proficiency and substi
tute techniques of the ‘controlled
economy’ such as Russia’s.”
Fleming said that “if the mobil
ization program, short of war,
should last five years, if we
straight-jacket our American eco
nomy with price and wage controls,
we would lose about 15 per cent of
our production potential.”
Danger lurks ahead when cau
tion is left behind.
