I have no wish now or later to enter into a useless, ceaseless squabble, but there are a few things I would like you to know. Up until after the Parr verdict Fehl was friendly—or at least seemed to be, insofar as he is capa- l ble—to me. In fact during the trial he made the statement on the Cvit- r-.ess stand that he had the highest respect for me and my boys. He also talked to me about having one of my deputies run on the republi Above is shown, through the courtesy of the Peeping Tom Photo service, what has happened to the (form can ticket suggesting that she erly) Good Ship of State.

FIRST CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED By MAUDE POOL The Applegate Home Extension unit leads all of the other clubs of Jackson county in work accomplish ed during the Tast year, according to a comparison of chairman’s re ports made during the lunch hour at the Homemaker’s conference at Medford recently, at which nine members from the local unit were present. The club is to be complimented not only on this attainment, but upon the unusually wide variety of work undertaken, a summary of which follows. Projects: Child development study club, vegetable cookery, Ore gon products, Christmas sweets, dry cleaning and gardening. Relief work: Four food showers, three clothing showers, $5 to the needy, making of two wool quilts for charity and aid to the Little Ap plegate Sewing club in charity work. Miscellaneous: Making of one quilt sold, making of one gift quilt, aid in quilting at one home and presentation of Easter card shower, lily, and personal gift to a hospital patient. The vegetable cookery was ob tained through demonstrations at Medford which were attended by local leaders. The unit’s remarkable progress has been attained under the chairmanship of Mrs. Lee Port, a very conscientious worker who has diligently guided the work. Meetings are held in vacant rooms at the Applegate school house, which makes satisfactory club rooms. Members are planning a somewhat different schedule for the coming year, which will elimin ate attendance of demonstrations by local leaders. Definite work plans will be made, however, at the next meeting, May 16, when Mrs. Mabel Mack, demonstration agent, will conduct a program planning meeting. The Applegate unit has the dis tinction of being the first estab lished in the county. It was organ ized January 15 of last year, mak ing a total of 15 months of ac tivity, with the regular club year ending this month. At an afternoon meeting last Tuesday election of officers was held, marking the beginning of the new year. Mrs. Port and Mrs. J. R. Hoffman were retained as chair man and treasurer, and new offi cers elected were Mrs. Harry Brown, vice chairman, and Mrs. John Pemoll, secretary. A Wash ington bicentenniel program, plan ned for May, "was postponed until fall, owing to the approach of the busy season, and the fact that the club expects to make the program rather elaborate and desires more time. However, they will outline the program plans this summer, when meetings will have been dropped, and will provide the necessary co lonial costumes then. Following the business session Tuesday, the meeting took the form of a party and a gala day for the members. As a token of apprecia tion of her efforts for the club, Mrs. J. R. Hoffman, treasurer, was hon ored with a novel handkerchief shower. An attractive May basket of flowers, itself resembling a flower, was presented to Mrs. Hoff man by little Miss Carolyn Bene dict. Beneath an old fashioned nose gay and other flowers the hand kerchiefs were concealed. Mrs. Ralph Pittick, who is leaving soon for San Diego to join her husband, also was presented with a quilt. Ice cream, cake and coffee were served and when a goodly supply was found to be left, all of the school children were invited to eat. In speaking of the year’s accom plishments, Mrs. Port mentioned that she had a splendid group of women to work with, to which she owes the very successful year. Have You One in Your Home?
