Interesting papers for the after
noon were given by Mrs. Love and
Mrs. Stanley and concerned soil SUBJ
stitutes. Mrs. Loves paper was "Ver-
miculite and Sphagnum Moss, and
Mrs. Stanley's paper was Sewing
Lily Seed in Wermiculite."
After hearing these ladies giving
so convincingly the uses of these
innovations in the garden world,
a garden club member should never
be heard heard complaining of the
quality of the soil, for in the Ian
guage of the two ladies, there is
always Vermiculite and S%phagnum
moss.
The feature flower arrangements
for the afternoon were an eye-cat-
ching arrangement of flame azaleas
in a low, oval shaped bowl, by Mrs.
D. C. Lundy. A tall yellow pottery
vase held long sprays of Spirea Van
Houtte arranged by Mrs. c. A. Glow
err. Other arrangements by Mrs
Glover were a low blue bowl filled
with pink verbena, and a charming
little begonia plant covered in pink
blooms.
Mrs. S. E. Henry had a most eff
ective line arrangement of white
bridal wreath in an ice blue pottery
vase. White and purple iris featured
another lovely arrangement by Mrs
Henry and a low bowl of fragrant
wisteria was also by Mrs. Henry.
The attractiveness of the living
room where the club met was fur
Their enhanced by several containers
of Towering shrubs from the garden
of the hostess.
The next meeting of the club viii
be held in the home of Mrs. ]. M

Killers Strange Pact
With StoIin,s Russia

One of the strange alli1
ances of history was the
agreement which made allies
of. Hitler's Red-hating Ger
many and Stalin's Nazi-hat-
ing Russia during the first
part of World War II.
DR.. Harold C. Deutsch, Uni
versity of Minnesota history
professor, went to Germany
after the war as chief of re-
search and analysis in the
OSS mission, and counsel for
the State Departments spe-
cial interrogation mission. He
dug up some of the facts re-
lating to Germany's side of
the story of this strange alli-
ance and of the incidents
which led to Germany's even
tual repudiation of the agree
ment and attack on Russia.
DR.. Deutsch tells this story
in a series of four articles, the
first of which begins tomorr
row on the editorial page of
The Star. It is an interesting
story, worth reading.
