MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, MAT 21. 1934. PAOE THREE HOUSEWIVES ASK MANY QUESTIONS What does a homemaker want to know? If there la any one person In the west who should be familiar with the desires of western housewives, that person la Mrs. Julia Lee Wright, national director of the Safeway Stores Homemaker Bureau, which will conduct a three-day cooking school here beginning Tuesday, May 39th at Hunt's Rlalto theatre. "Of course," Mrs. Wright says, "most of the many thousands of re quests we receive during the year are for help with recipe problems, etiquette, table decorations, meal planning and problems df buying. We do, however, receive many re quests which are of an unusual na ture, which we also answer to the best of our ability. "Among the requests which we re ceive most frequently apart from those directly connected with food, are for games, and games for adults particularly. This has been especially true during the past year, and Indi cates perhaps more strongly than anything else the Increasing and very beneficial tendency to make homes grow where only houses have existed before. "We are often asked to plan com plete parties, such as surprise parties, for birthdays for everyone from baby to grandmother. Then, too there are many requests for infomatlon on bridge party planning, teas, and even complete formal receptions. We once had a request from a prominent woman In southern California on the proper seating arrangement for a dinner party at which three differ ently ranked members of Euopean nobility were to be present. It tcok considerable scurrying to answer that question, I can assure you, but we were able to do It correctly and promptly. "Often we receive requests that have & touch of very human pathos as, for example, one from a woman In Colorado Just before the past Christmas. She was admittedly In dire financial straits, but wanted ever so much to remember a little niece of her's at Christmas. One of her most cherished possessions, she , explained was a little wicker chair which had belonged to her daughter. Much as she hated to give It up, she had determined that this was the only appropriate gift she could af ford. She wanted to know if we thought & gift that had been used would be acceptable, and If so, what method she should use in cleaning It. ""We see romance In our work, too, In letters from girls about to be mar ried and seeking all kinds of advice on homemaklng, and we are even asked to play Beatrice Fairfax roles at times In the settling of demestlc problems, although that Is a type of request which we naturally do not encourage. One of our most faithful correspondents has been a woman who was separated from her husband largely because, she felt, that her In adequate knowledge of homemaking caused constant disruption. Appar ently they really loved one another though, for they were reunited after a separation of six months. Ever since then this woman has leaned rather heavily on us for advice and she now tells us, much to our delight that the help we have been able to give her has again brought real Joy into her life. She Is learning how co become a true homemaker and her husband la evidently conscious of the fact. "One unusual request which we re ceived quite recently was on the pro per methods of salting, pickling and smoking freshly-killed pork. We dug up that Information, too, but we're glad that the women didn't ask us how to go about slaughtering the pig. "All in all," Mrs. Wright concludes, "the work of the Homemaker' Bu reau can hardly be said to lack vari ety." Dorothy Willetts Has Role In Opera WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem (Spl.)

In teresting relics of early Medford soc iety. The aid society was organised as a civic, not a church, group in 1884. The work of the organization was directed toward advancement of the "interests of good society, fostering learning, stimulating intellectual and religious culture to relieve distress and want." The first sidewalk to mark the city's streets, was constructed by the society. It was a board walk, lead ing from the north end of the de pot, then located in Main street, to the school, which occupied the block where Jackson county's new court house Is now situated. Several years later the walk was removed by order of the town council to make way for paving and the walk was donated to the Methodist, Christ Ian and Episcopal churches. It was constructed by the aid society for the use of children, who were then finding It difficult to get to school In winter and spring because of the excessive mud, filling Main street. Other property, belonging to the Aid society,' was donated the three churches, whan the last meeting, for dissolution, was called In the furni ture store of Mrs. I. A. Webb, Feb ruary 4, 1892. Numerous entertainments and soc ials were sponsored by the society, the record book shows, to raise funds for philanthropic work.
