P atriotic Program s Discuss­
ed a t Recreation M eeting
Ladies A id Dinner
N e x t Thursday
Tuesday evening there w as a fair
representation at tbe recreation
m eeting with Miss Jensen, tbe rec­
reation specialist from C orvallis.
When the m eeting w as turned over
to her she gave a num ber of reas­
ons why people should have recre­
ation. Among som e of the things
sh e touched upon w as tbe fact ttiat
there are Ik,000 sold iers, sailors,
and m arines in the service repre­
senting Oregon. H ow m any are
from the vicinity of Gold H ill? In
many places com m unities are giv­
ing program s dedicated to these
service men, also sending them
gifts or rem em brances from these
com m unities in appreciation of
that service for them. f lo w many
patriotic songs do you know,
w ords, author, w hy and w here
w ritten? She stressed giving, not
receiving, not taking too much for
granted, thriftiness. She stressed
citizenship and what som e com ­
m unities are doing w hen their
young men and w om en becom e cit­
izens at 21 years of age. There w as
a w ealth o f m aterial for patriotic
occasions that may be borrow ed
and looked over before purchasing.
Flag codes may be obtained from
the American Legion through the
Medford Post or perhaps the WRC
pf this com m unity. The “Star Span­
gled Banner” should be used at the
first or last of a program, never in
the middle o f a program. There
should be flag com m ittees to have
the flag in the proper position in
the room, to lead in the correct
form of pledging, and to see that it
is respected in every w a y . Com­
m unity singing of patriotic songs
w as held w ith w ords flashed on a
screen.
Plans w ere made for the square
dance class to be held W ednesday
evening w ith Miss Jensen. At least
four sets w ere assured.
The Decem ber m eeting is in the
hands of the local people and com ­
m ittees w ere appointed for the eve­
ning. R efreshm ent com m ittee, Mrs.
Irene Johnson, John Gray and D or­
