Still Building Garden Club To Have Big Year V* By PAT MORLEY Battalion Woman’s Editor „ For the first time in the his tory of the A&M Garden Club, a classification called “by appoint ment only” will be included in a club flower show. In the Harvest C estival, the fall flower show, to e held in the MSC Oct. 5, the new division will include flower ar rangements by anyone interested in making an entry, provided he calls ahead of time to reserve a place for his entry. Interested par ties may contact Mrs. Marion Pugh, chairman, or her co-chair man, Mrs. Tom Taylor. Already able to boast of two yearly flower shows, a Home Gar deners Forum, a yearbook which last year won second prize in its division in the state contest, and a member who is also a State Com mittee Chairman for Highway Beautification, Mrs. Armstrong Price, the social club is still “build ing,” and invites interested gar deners and arrangers to contact Any of the officers to become a member anytime before November 1. The purpose of the club is to pro mote an interest in horticulture, j/mdscape art, flower arrangement, and conservatiion. Purple Award Winner President of the club, Mrs. R. E. Snuggs, compiled and submitted a club scrapbook which won the Pur ple Award in the State Garden Club in 1950. A resident of Col lege Station since 1925, when she came here as a secretary in the extension service, Mrs. Snuggs married R. E. Snuggs, a young chemistry teacher. A longtime fac ulty wife, and active member of the First Baptist Church, the new president is a compartive newcom er to the Garden Club, having been a member for only about 10 years. First vice-president, Mrs. W. W. Armistead, who also serves the A&M Consolidated Mother and Dttds Club as president this year, has compiled and edited the club yearbook, “The Round-up.” Dr. Arimstead, a’ professor in the Vet erinarian Medicine and Surgery Department, assisted his w'ife by drawing the cover for the book. An Aggie-ex, Dr. Armistead worked for Student Publications NOW SHOWING SKY-SHATTERING STORY OF MARINE AIR-DEVILS! QUEEN NOW SHOWING by drawing covers for student mag azines while attending A&M. Dr. and Mrs. Armistead, parents of three children, married in 1938, while he was instructor in the VM&S Department. The Armisteads were gone from College Station over three years during World War II, when he served in the Remount service, sta tioned in Ft. Reno, Oklahoma, and also in Italy. Directs Flower Shows Mrs. Marion Pugh, wife of an Aggie football star who graduated in 1942, will serve the Garden Club as 2nd vice-president this year, and will be in charge of the flower shows. She, too, knew the life of an Army wife, and says, “We’ve lived here off and on since 1941.” Her husband served in the Tank De stroyers, then the Pughs returned here in 1947 and opened a lumber company. Mrs. Pugh joined the Garden Club in 1948, and has been an active member since then. A member of the community for fifteen years, and wife of the Chancellor of the A&M System, Mrs. Gibb Gilchrist is 3rd vice- president of the Garden Club. Well- known as a gracious hostess, pe tite Mrs. Gilchrist is serving her first term as an officer of the club. Duties of the recording secre tary will be dispatched by Mrs. Betty Jane Shaw, and Mrs. R. E. Schiller, Jr., is the new correspond ing secretary for the club. Treasurer, Mrs. C. C. Doak, came to A&M as a bride in 1925, when her husband was a graduate as sistant in the Biology Department. She taught for four years in local public schools. Dr. Doak, now head of the Biology Department, and his charming wife are a well- known faculty couple. Three Years Ago Mrs. Fred E. Weick, wife of the Head of Personal Aircraft Re search at Easterwood Airport, is reporter for the Garden Club this year. Mrs. Weick, who came to A&M in the Summer of 1948, join ed the club that Fall. The second Friday of each month, at 2:30 p. m. in the assem bly room of the MSC, approximate ly 100 ladies will meet to, hear lectures and see demonstrations of good gardening and flower ar ranging techniques. Plans are being made for Home Gardeners Forum No. 2 Dec. 5, 6, and 7, under the direction of Mr. A. F. DeWerth, sponsored by A&M College. Mr. DeWerth, Head of the Floriculture and Landscape Art Department, will also direct Home Gardeners Forum No. 3 Feb. 6, 7, and 8, 1952. The first of these forums, designed to be of benefit to everyone interested in garden ing in the College Station area, was held last February. Another feature of this year’s meetings is an all-day clinic in the Social Room of the MSC Dec. 14, when members will make Christ mas wreaths, corsages, door decor ations, and table and mantle ar rangements, which will be on sale to the public at a time and place designated by Mrs. J. T. L. Mc- New, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Question Period A full program this year will feature a monthly Roundup and Question Period, which will be led by Mrs. Spencer J. Buchanan. This is expected to be one of the most active seasons the club has ex perienced, to date. Formed in 1938, the A&M Gar den Club was begun as an organ ization for both men and women gardeners. Mr. George B. Wilcox, Head of the Education and Psy chology Department, was" the first president. Other charter members are Mrs. J. S. Campbell, wife of an Associ ate professor in the Agricultural Economics Department, and Mrs. A. B. Conner. Although no longer a College Station resident, Mrs. Conner is well-known here, and vis its here frequently. Now an organization of ladies, only, the club actively cooperates with other Garden Clubs in the state, and with the State Garden Club, as well. The officers predict the 13th year, 1951-52, to be the best the club has enjoyed.

Buchanan, who recently complet ed a tour of duty in Japan and Korea for the Air Force, spoke on “Conditions and Observations in Korea.” The speaker discussed the agricultural and economic con ditions of Korea as he saw them on his recent visit. “War has had little effect on the conditions of the farms in Korea,” Buchanan said. Agriculture is the main occupation in Korea, and all the work is done by hand. A farm er owning one bullock is considered an aristocrat, he added. In contrast to agriculture, the speaker said war had dealt the in dustries of Korea a hard blow. He stated that the women work as hard or harder than the men in Korea. “No highway system as we know it exists, their roads be ing simply short community roads to the railroads,” Buchanan said. someday surpass College Hills as a residental ai’ea.
