The red rose, the symbol of love and passion, will be in high demand this weekend. All other roses, as well as tulips, orchids, aza- leas, and more will be presented to sweethearts everywhere. Or perhaps you favor chocolate or jewelry. But just maybe this article today can of- fer another idea for you. Flowers are only one of the joys of gardening. There are of course veg- etable gardens, cacti and succulents, herbs, walk- ways through your gar- den areas, fountains, gar- den art, and on and on. So here is an idea for a long-lasting gift on Val- entine's Day. Help your special someone create a new garden walk, or dig one new flower gar- den area, or buy a new garden tool, gloves, or a fountain. The ideas could go on forever I think, and all would be loved I am sure. Several years ago my husband fixed up a new flower bed for me for Val- entine's Day. It was an existing bed, but needed tilling, additional soil, and a new border. So these things were done for Valentine's Day that year, and we both have the joy of that area for years to come. But the love of garden- ing is not just the end product either. It's hard to beat the joy of work- ing in the flower bed in the glorious sunshine, not too hot or not too cold. You know that sun- shine is Vitamin D and good for us with com- mon sense moderation. There is a freedom there where the palette is open for you to fill. Choose what you love, try to fol- low some planting guide- lines for water, soil, and temperature. If it doesn't quite work you can mod- ify it, or even start over. Another benefit of gar- dening is you are exercis- ing without knowing it. Well, maybe your sore knees or back do know it. But isn't that more fun than working out at the gym or lifting weights? I would rather bend down and pull buckets of weeds than do squats or deep knee bends. And hauling the weeds away, or that bucket of soil, is better than lifting weights. Pruning involves your hand, arm, and shoulder muscles. Right now is a big pruning time, so just think how you are stay- ing in shape. Your brain is doing designing, prob- lem solving, planning and anticipating the nec- essary schedules for suc- cess. When the day is done, you will sleep so soundly with all that ac- tivity and fresh air. Finally, I want to say that I hope this article is not just read by gar- dening lovers; however it does reinforce things for us. Even if only one new person tries a gar- den bed, or a container planter, or just wanders out in the yard to think of new possibilities, I would be thrilled. I found this quote which seems very fitting. Alfred Austin, an Eng- lish poet from the late 1800s said, "The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not on the body, but the soul." Life re- ally is better in the gar- den.

RED BLUFF GARDEN CLUB Fortheloveofgardening Fifty years ago the newly-formed Kelly-Griggs House Museum received its first donation from the Red Bluff-Tehama county branch of the American Association of University Women. Now, as the branch is closing its books for the last time after 77 years of service to the community, the members have voted to donate its remaining bal- ance of $1,950 to the mu- seum. Through the years the branch and its members have played an important part in the life of the mu- seum. AAUW members sponsored a study and tour of historical homes in Red Bluff, and after its obliga- tions toward scholarships were fulfilled, the members gave money to start the mu- seum on its way. Many of the first Kelly-Griggs asso- ciation members were also in AAUW. Some became officers and others became docents, showing visitors the splendors of the re- stored Victorian. The branch sponsored house tours for many years. Originally it was of homes decorated for the holidays, then historical homes and later other in- teresting homes and of- fices. One year the tea that was part of the tour was in the Kraft library. Later the group sponsored more for- mal teas in the Judge Len- non home and in the Kelly- Griggs House Museum. Funds went to local scholarships, but the group also contributed to the na- tional program of grants and fellowships for ad- vanced study. One year a student from Indonesia who was studying in Cal- ifornia spoke locally, and just a few years ago, mem- bers had the chance to meet in Redding with a large group of international AAUW scholars. AAUW traces its begin- nings to 1881. It was a time when some feared that women would suffer phys- ically from the rigors of learning. Today more than half of college students are women, and they are be- ing encouraged to enter the fields of science, tech- nology, engineering and mathematics — STEM. Af- ter years of promoting the status of women, AAUW worked to get women the right to vote. The branch celebrated the 50th an- niversary of California's women getting the vote ear- lier than the national vote. The branch has had many interest groups, in- cluding a book club, play reading and gourmet cook- ing. The main focus of the AAUW branch has been on advancement of women, especially by furthering their education. When the branch was formed in 1937, relatively few women went to college and even fewer got a degree. Scholarships were rare. Many of the first local members were teach- ers, and the first president was a librarian. Others were well educated wives of ranchers and profes- sional men. All recognized the need of young women to get adequate education to succeed in life. Through the years hun- dreds of local young women have received AAUW schol- arships to attend college, often several in a year. As more scholarships have become available to high school graduates, the branch raised its level of qualification. Applicants were required to have com- pleted at least two years of college work and achieved junior standing or more. Some have used the money to help with advanced de- grees. Members of the Red Bluff-Tehama county branch have several options for continuing their mem- bership. Branches in Red- ding and Chico have in- vited them to join. Several have life memberships in the national organization, including those who have been members for 50 years and have achieved honor- ary status. One holds mem- bership dating to 1949. KELLY-GRIGGS Universitywomenmakefinaldonationtomuseum Workmen have begun the remodeling of the store building at the corner of Walnut and Jefferson streets formerly occupied by the Evening Sentinel, and will give the build- ing the necessary improve- ments and repairs to make it an up-to-date store room. Although it has not been officially announced it is understood a drug store will be started in the new building, and it is said a Sis- son druggist is moving his stock of goods to this city and will conduct the new business. — Feb. 11, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
