Portland, e.-Oregon women are pioneering again blazing new Oregon trail.
 Instead of leading to raw adven- ture, gold and rich bottom soil, the new trail is being l1ewn into "vic- tory highway" through the volun- tary registration-first in the na- tion-of the states woman power.
 The purposes: to provide the brain and muscle needed to replace the men who have enlisted in the army, been drafted or left old jobs to go on to higher-paying positions with Surging war industries. All this, too, with national registration of women an llnrealized dream.
 The croakers said voluntary mobilization here couldn't be done" They said farmers would be stuck for labor this year and so would lots of other employers.
 A volunteer army of some six or seven thousand registrars or- ganized. It made the rounds of Oregon homes and dwelling places, in cities, on farms, beside rivers and in virgin forests where stump" ranchers build their cabins.
 The house-to- -house canvasses used all methods of travel, includ- ing planes, boats, autos, bicycles, snowshoes, skis, horses and old wagons in their unprecedented eff forts to reach all women from homes high and low. They did, too.
 They registered f1shermen's wives and daughters, nurses, Junior leaguers, cannery workers and career girls, regardless of racial origin, creed or color.
 COVER STATE BY

 One womn, 8 country school teacher, busy with her classes five days a week, discovered storm- bound roads were impossible to automobiles, but notified her county chairman:

 Another woman, trapped by the ice of a "silver thaw" which halted ground vehicles completely and dis rupted wire communication sys- tems, chartered a private plane, at- tended preliminary organizational meeting 100 miles away, and re- turned to her fireside-all on the same afternoon.
 Several hundred of similar ex- amples of such enthusiasm are cited by Mrs. Saddle Orr Dunbar, state director of the Oregon Board of Mobilization of Women and hon. orary president of the General Federation of Women's clubs. In

GARDEN CLUB
 HEARS SPEECH
 ON BULB CARE

i c. c. Carnegie yesterday ad- dressed the local Garden Club at it's monthly business meeting, held in the home of Mrs. Charles For ward telling them how to care for bulbs requiring rest during the winter months, and how to plant those which should be set out now for spring Towering.
 English iris, grape hyacinths, crocuses, daffodils, jonquils, nar- cissi and tulips should be planted in the fall, MT. Carnegie reminded Juneau gardeners, and recommend ed that for straight rows a trench be dug, bone meal or well rotted manure mixed in the soil and bulbs set, but not pressed, in, covering to a depth of five to six inches. Smaller bulbs should be set some- what less deep, he said.
 In digging gladioli and dahlia bulbs and tubers for fall storage, the speaker suggested that if pos sible both be left in until foliage has turned brown Dahlia roots should be dug with a fork and stored with the stalk downward, to prevent juices from running into the root, the divisions being made in the spring. Both gladioli and dahlias should be stored in a well-ventilated, dry place, with peat moss, shavings or something of the sort around each bulb
 Mrs. Harold Smith, Secretary Treasurer of the club described her Victory Garden raised near Seattle, which cost $10 in money, she stated, and returned in yege- tables over $200. Club members named vegetables and flowers they considered unusual or especially successful for local gardens, in cluding peas, carrots, cabbage and lettuce, in the latter category, and recommended spaghetti plant Ca kind of squash similar to Danish) |, and, as worth experimenting with, cucumbers, string beans and cauli- flower.
 Several vases used in the flower show are still in the Methodist Church, it was reported, and should be called for there by the owners.
 Sandwiches, cookies, tea and coffee were served by the hostess es. Mrs. Linn Forrest and Mrs Forward Members who wish their gardening magazine subscriptions to continue uninterruptedly through the winter should see Mrs. Smith soon and arrange for renewal, it was announced.
