of Dallas, one of the state's lead-
ing flower show authorities.
Sweetwater's garden clubs are
planning their first flower show
for about Oct. 22.
Mrs. Salois is in Swetwater
this week while her husband, a
certified public accountant, is
doing some work for Bertram!
& Bradford She is a past sec-
retary of the state garden club
federation and is now chairman
of Texas Flower Show Schools.
She has been an instructor in the
flower show schools for several
years.
—Praises Schedule—
The schedule and rules which
Sweetwater's garden club wom-
en, representing the Highland
Garden Club and the Swetwa-
ter Garden Club have set up for
their flower show were praised
by Mrs. Salois. (Mrs. R. O. Pet-
ers and Mrs. H. D. Melton ar-
ranged the schedule, Mrs. Leon-
ard said.)
Inclusion of only seven classes
in the Sweetwater show schedule
was especially commended.
"The advantages of having a
small number of classes in a
flower show is something many
garden clubs take years to
learn," Mrs. Salois said. "You
seem to have learned it at the
start. Just be sure you don't
ever forget it."
—Likes Separate Shows—
She also liked the plan to
have separate show divisions for
arrangements by Garden Club
members and non-members. The
non-member division is a fine
way to stimulate civic interest,
Mrs. Salois said, but awards
should be separate.
Another point praised by Mrs.
Salois was the attention given to
horticulture in the schedule.
—Wiring Permissible—
Questioned about the use of
wiring in flower arrangements
Mrs. Salois said that wiring is
now permitted if it is invisible.
Mrs. Salois suggested that in
future flower shows here, the
scale of points on judging be in-
cluded in the schedule. She also
advised that the size of each gar-
den club not exceed 30 mem-
bers. f Sweetwater's clubs are al-
ready much larger than that).
—Those Present—
Taking part in the discussions
with Mrs. Salois were Mrs. C. D
Leonard, Highland Garden Club
President: Mrs. C. B. Brantley
and Mrs. R. B. Palmer, co-chair-
men of the staging committee for
the Sweetwater show; and Mrs.
J. F. Gilbert, president of the
Sweetwater Garden Club. Mrs.
Gilbert and Mrs. Leonard are co-
chairmen of hospitality for the
flower show.
Mrs. B. C. Pace, general chair-
man for the show, was unable
to be present because her hus-
band is a Sweetwater hospital
patient, recovering from major
surgery.
— In .Midland Monday—
Mrs. Salois was in Midland on
Monday to give a lecture for the
women nf the new First Presby-
terian Church there on flower
nrrangerfients for churchs. This
is one of her hobbies, and she al
I ways arranges the flowers for
I her own church in Dallas.
In Dallas, Mrs. Salois works
j in two garden clubs, and is presi
dent of the Nellie Day Trigg
Garden Club.
She will be a judge at the Rose
Festival in Tyler Sept. 30-0ct. 2
