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."

First Medford Aid Society
Was Civic Organization Is
Shown in Book of Minutes
No desire for elimination of the
masculine mind from the woman's
club room was existent In the city
of Medford In 1664, according to the
by-laws of Medford'a first aid soc
iety, the book of minutes, now treas
ured by Mrs. John Cochran, reveals.
For the by-laws open with the
statement, "Gentlemen shall be en
titled to all the privileges of this soc
iety, except voting."
The book of minutes was purchased
by Mrs. O. K. Hasklns, carried on
the membership roll as Helen L. Has
klns. when the society dissolved in
1892. Her daughter, Mrs. Cochran,
now treasures It as one of the . 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. The commit
tees for the events carry the names
of many well known citizens. In the
music group were: Messrs. Will Core,
Ed Gore and George Webb and Mrs.
Webb and Mrs. Young.
