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

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. The man, who died
three years ago, was Jim Jlmlnez,
a lonely, unmarried logger who
saved his money.
When Jiminez came In from
the woods, he used his $5 a month
room at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Giannini, and their son and
daughter.
The Gianninls and Jiminez got
along fine. They never had but
one serious argument. That was
when Mr. Giannini wanted to
boost the rent to $8 a month. But
the rent stayed at $5.
Justice George Rossman's opin
ion told how Mrs. Giannini and
Jiminez talked long hours togeth

er In the evening. She said Jim
inez was like a brother to her.
Jiminez went off to war in the
Army, and left behind him a joint
bank account with Mrs. 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.
Justice Rossman wrote that
Mrs. Giannini "is a positive char
acter of the vivacious type.
"Men who are cautious and du
bious by nature generally find
buoyancy for their sagging spirits
In women of the positive, spirited
kind."
