a SHEBOYGAN PRESS, Wednesday, Jan. 15, 1969 Wild Flow Photographic Hobby Shared With Woman's Club Photography is an art! Robert Meves really is adept at picturing wild flowers of roadsides, woods, marshes and bogs in their natural habitat. That's where he believes a camera should click to record floral beauty and plant life. A part of his extensive collection of colored slides was shown for the Woman's Club that met Tuesday afternoon in Fellowship Hall of St. Luke United Methodist Church This new phase of Mr.

Meves' photographic hobby has been developed since his retirement. Mrs. Meves assists her huband. He was introduced by Mrs. Melvin Hummitzsch, program chairman, who mentioned the club's in conservation and interest, Mrs.

Wesley W. Jung heads that committee. Pictures, admired and received with many ahs, were taken in the vicinity of couple's summer home on the Fence Lake chain in the Minocqua Woodruff area, at The Ridges in Door County and in Sheboygan County and nearby. An idea of the vast number of wild flowers that give Wisconsin's outdoors colorful accents was gleaned from the program that promised viewers that spring will follow, that snow piles will vanish. Mr.

Meves not only knows how to focus his camera to record flowers and plants to advantage but he also has delved into a study of flora. Often he is obliged to. kneel to take his pictures, or to lie flat on the ground. This time consuming hobby certainly has brought magnificent results. Patience, too, would seem to be a "must" to achieve the artistry that his photography shows.

Belongs to National Group, This member of the nature division of Photographic Society of America told about the honey glands that beckon insects to investigate the inside of the pitcher plant. The sun dew is another plant with a sticky liquid that attracts insects. Hairs on the edge of the planter fold over to hold and absorb the insects. According to legend, the bedstraw plant was in the manger where Christ was born. The dark spot on lovely Queen Anne's lace, legend says, represents the drop of purple blood from the queen's finger that she pricked when attaching the blossom to her attire.

Tares were referred to in one of the parables of the Bible. Raindrops glistening on a photo of the bergamat flower gave it the sparkle of a jewel. The pod to the blossom of baneberry has "doll's eyes" as part of its make-up. Wild ginger blossoms remain on the ground throughout their blooming period. These details of nature were included in the informative commentary.

One type of flower has a short life the spider wort its blossoms last only one day. This past year swamp laurel was very plentiful, the couple observed. Queen of the prairie plant was the only one ever to have been seen by Mr. and Mrs. Meves.

Species Plentiful Lupine has 300 species growing in Wisconsin, Mr. Meves informed and he also said there are between 50 and 75 types of golden rod and that a dozen kinds of thistles grow in the north. Wood. lilies of Upper Michigan also were bright reproductions on the screen. At one time, shinleaf pyrola was used as plaster on injured shins in an early era.

Before the age of gadgetry, the horsetail plant was used to polish kettles and pans. Chicory, which has white, blue pink flowers, years ago was a substitute for coffee. Farmers used to believe that the wood-betony or louse wort infected with lice. Only leaves and cattle, of skunk cabbage have the odor not the blossoms. Among the oddities seen was a monkey flower with squared stem, a dogtooth violet in a lavender shade the plant seekers spotted it near Waupun and a pipsissewa that resembled a corsage.

Sometimes Mr. and Mrs. Meves drive many miles for additions to their collection, i.e., 91 miles one way to picture a lady slipper that resembles an orchid. A steeple bush was the reward after a 32-mile jaunt two days later it was found on the lake shore bank at their summer locale. The beautiful fringed gentian a rarity required a 40-mile drive to picture.

The cardinal flower was another in the rare category. Orchids Extraordinary Numerous wild orchids were exclaimed about by club members. purple fringed one was called "a prize" by Mr. Meves; a green one was an unusual type; white lady slipper orchid that was lovely grows in the summer home area of the Meves pair; a ram's head, the smallest and rarest of orchids were among those flashed on the screen. Of 33 orchids growing in the Minocqua-Woodruff area, the Sheboyganites have located 19.

Variety Keynotes Slides Near St. Nazianz, a wild cranberry bog was a bright sight for club members to remember. Shooting stars, pictured in the western part of the state, gave feeling of action. There were slides of unusual blossoms seen at The Ridges, i.e., twin flowers. William Beri- Future Bridal Pair Honored At Parties A post-rehearsal luncheon day evening at the home of Mr.

Needs for a receiving home in this county and plans being made to meet this need was the topic of Mrs. Delmar E. Brown foster home coordinator of Sheboygan Welfare Department.

She explained that a receiving home is temporary shelter for children who for some reason cannout be in their own homes.

It will need to have enough room for eight children and the resident foster family. An average of five children per month need emergency care.

Other ways of helping will be by providing furnishings or with financial con" tributions. Junior Woman's Club is assuming the responsibility coordinating the furnishing of the home.

Pilot Program Shows Kids Drug Dangers By ESTELLE FORD ATLANTA (UPI)-Who would be most likely to urge a youngster to take the first "pep" pill or first of drag, drug marijuana? pusher? A physician? Acquaintances? If the answer were "drug In a unique text used in pusher" it would be wrong. a in the Atlanta and Fulton County schools, the pilot program correct answer is "friends." Dr. Edward Sumner, associate professor of pharmacology at the University of Georgia, Athens, has written a book "Drugs Use and Abuse in Our Society," the first attempt to provide schools with a programmed learning text on the subject. The Atlanta city and Fulton county schools use it to teach pilot groups of young teenagers, the age group authorities feel are most susceptible to the and fascination of mystery drugs. Rebecca Dinnard, head of health and physical education instruction for Fulton County schools, said the problem has accelerated "since we've had the hippies with but that Dr.

Sumner's approach has been one of sticking to facts, not frightening or exciting students with bugaboos about addiction and its effects. "They've emphasized that we need to deal with this with medical facts," she said of Sumner assistant Edward P. Turner, associate director of pharmaceutical services at the university. "We don't need to do a lot of preaching or sermonizing, but give medical and what happens when a person plays around with drugs," she said. "I don't think we have the heroin addicts, and such that you find cities," said Miss Dinnard.

abuse and large, misuse of over-the-counter drugs amphetamines and barbituates." Sumner said the book has several pages of background on drugs, followed pages of questions and answers. "On the left side of each page will be a series of questions, and on the right side of the same page, the answers," he said. An example: "True of false: All people who abuse drugs are poor, criminals and uneducated. Answer: False. People from all walks of life are involved." The students, two classes in the county school, and several more groups in the city schools, will be tested before and after the material is studied.

Sumner and Turner, unaware of the interest in drug education in Atlanta, were developing a text for use in schools when they heard about a Fulton County grand jury motion to bring the subject into the curriculum. In a unique meeting, members of the grand jury, police department officials, pediatricians, narcotics experts and school officials sat down together one afternoon to find what the schools were doing to educate the youths in the basics of (drugs. American Field Service stu-1 dent Manzar Sahebjan Atabaki described life in Iran and gave her impressions of America, when she spoke to members of Kewaskum Woman's Club Saturday afternoon. "I think Wisconsin is the most beautiful place I will ever see," she said. "Its beauty was the first thing that attracted my She commented on "the natural beauty Kewaskum" and oft repeated the phrase, "I love it here." When asked what she likes best about America, she replied, "people are so free." Manzar arrived in August to spend the school year in Kewaskum.

She is a senior at Kewaskum Community High School and lives with the Richard L. Edwards family, 331 Forest and is Kewaskum's eighth AFS student. A pretty girl black hair, sparkling brown eyes, a quick, warm smile and an "effervescent" personality describes Manzar. The daughter of a major general in the Iranian Army, she is the second you- Ingest of five children. No Dating on School Level Schools in Iran are non-coeducational, Manzar said, and so there is no dating at the school level.

On weekends young persons attend the theater or go to parties in groups and they are busy with their homework. When a boy decides he wants to marry, he goes with his parents to visit the girl and her parents "to ask if is all right." The girl is free to say no, "but she usually doesn't," Manzar explained. Even though there is no dating, "the boy and girl know if they want to marry," she added. Men have but one wife. It is against government law to have more than one, the student said.

Iran, in the Middle East, is about 2500 years old, has a constitutional type of government and is ruled by a king. "A woman may not rule," Manzar stated. The coronation is a most beautiful custom. The 18-year-old miss comes from Tehran, a city of two and one-half million. Temperatures vary between 20 and 80.

"We do have some snow in winter but nothing like you have she exclaimed. Manufacture Cars Formerly a predominantly agricultural country, there is a current trend toward industry, Manzar said. About three years ago, the manufacture of cars was begun. Most of the cars driven in Iran, and there are very many, she emphasized, are of the conventional style but are manufactured out of the country. Many are American cars.

What is her favorite American food? she answered quickly. "We do have it back home but it is not prepared with the same spices and SO it tastes different," Manzar explained. "'We eat a lot of rice and fruit. You eat more cake, chocolate and rich food," she said. When asked if she liked the American sweets, she replied "Oh, yes.

I have gained many pounds!" Because Manzar is a Moslem, Christmas is not observed in her country, but as a Christmas gift to her, the students of the high school made it possible for to speak via telephone to her family in Iran. "It was nice," she said, "and everyone is fine." Known as "a math whiz" by her fellow students, she will continue her education when she goes home. She has been accepted by two universities, she said. EVANS Big Mid-Winter Yarn Sale 10 DAYS ONLY!
