Just above Lone Mrs. Jean Whittenburg By IANTHE SMITH Society Editor Albany Democrat-Herald) Members of the Roseburg Busi ness and Professional Women's Club have made their club one of the outstanding organizations of the state by their investment in furthering International friend ship, also an investment in im proved home life for China, is the belief of Miss Ava B. Milam, dean of the school of home eco nomics at Oregon State College at Corvallis. Dean Milam made this assertion in speaking of the $800 scholarship which the Rose burg club presented to Caroline Chen, head of the home economics department at Yenching Univer sity, who has been a student at the Oregon State College this past year. Roseburg members of the B. P. W. club can eain great per sonal satisfaction from the knowl edge that no one can estimate the far reaching possibilities of such an investment they have made in humanity. Miss Chen was one of the 20 students who studied home eco nomics with Dean Milam when she opened the first course in China In 1923. It was through Dean Milam that the Roseburg club learned of Miss Chen. Not only have the women of Roseburg, who have come to know Caroline, but many other women throughout the state as well as the students on Oreeon State College campus, have come to admire the strength of char acter and brilliant mind that are hers. Through her quiet way she has acted as a sort of Intermediary between foreign students and their readjustment to life on an American colleee cammis. Caro line gained first hand knowledge of life In these United Stales in 1928 when she received her master of arts degree from Columbia University, New York. That same year she went to Cor vallis where she spent two terms before returning to China. Miss Chen will return to China next fall and paramount among her Interests will be aidlne to bring about better home life among the Chinese. Child develop ment is another of her prime interests. A native of Haneehow Miss Chen was brought up In Pelplng. sue was graouaieo trom a Metho dist school In Tlensln in North China and In 1923 she enrolled in Dean Milam's courses at Yen ching University, where she will again head the department of home economics when she re turns. She was also graduated from Yenching with a bachelor ot arts degree. From 1928 to 1937 she was at Yenching as a teacher and from 1937 to 1938 she taught in South western University. Miss Chen then went to Shanghai where she stayed until 1945. She started the department of home economics in a Catholic woman's college. She has also been instrumental in opening departments of home economics in other colleges and schools In China. In 1915 Miss Chen returned to Yenching and re-opened the de partment there. She remained there until coming to America last September. All who meet Caroline Chen are charmed bv her peliteness, her quick briillant mind and friendly manner. Always mindful of a responsi bility to the persons who have made possible her opportunity for study at Oregon State her ac quisitive mind is ever alert for new Ideas to lake back to her na tive country and apply them as she meets with the students who Come and Bring the Family Rack Iridaa Supreme Court Upholds Bequest To Woman On Basis Of Friendship SALEM, Ore., May 18. (JP) A Portland Italian woman, who barely could speak English and who is described as "vivacious," became $6,383 richer today be cause she was the only true friend that a 47-year-old Spaniard had. The State Supreme Court Tues day unanimously gave the wo man, wife of a cook, the money which the Spaniard had left to her in a joint bank account. The woman's name is Mrs. Ida Giannini.

He had been told that was the simplest way of leaving his life's savings to his only real friend. But he had left a will In which his $2,000 lot in Oregon City was left to a two-year-old godson. Be fore he died, he sold the lot and put the money In the joint bank account. That's what caused the complications. The Multnomah Circuit Court of Judge Ashby C. Dickson, rul ing on the suit brought by the es tate's administrator, H. J. Langoe, decided in favor of Mrs. Giannini. The State Supreme Court Tues day also held that she gets the whole bank account.
