1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY, JULY 24. 1942. PAGE THREE IN ANNUAL PIE5T OF V 0 TERJ.EAG U Wednesday Night Affair to Help Finance Lecture Series War Time Need Seen. Interest 1 increasing this week in the preparations for the annual fiesta of the Jackson County League of Women which is to be given next Wednesday evening in the gardens of the Porter J. Neff home on Berkeley Way. Postponed from the pre ceding night due to a conflict with the lecture appearance here of I. J. Fisher, the fiesta is occupying the attention of a large number of the city's young women who are in charge of the program. Proceeds from the annual event, always one of the most outstanding benefits of the year, are used by the league chiefly for the series of lectures which the organization brings to Med ford each winter. During the past winter the group sponsored the appearance here of Dr. Don ald M. Erb of the University of Oregon, Superintendent Wooley of the Boys' Training school, James R. Young, former news paper correspondent in the Orient and others speaking on a variety of subjects. Mrs. Leonard Carpenter, presi dent of the group, pointed out today that the league is redoub ling its efforts during the war period to keep the general pub lic informed about governmen tal problems and stated that it is most imr rtant during war times for some organizations to be "wardens of thought". The league maintains a staff of trained workers in Washington, V. C, at all times and the local league contributes a substantial sum yearly to this office and to the state office. SWEDE ANDERSON IT Suffering a fractured skull, facial injuries and a broken right leg in an accident while working in a shipyard at Cor dova, Alaska, almost six months ago, Harold (Swede) Anderson, former local fireman and Med ford high football star, has been confined to his hospital bed since the mishap, his sister, Mrs. Ethel Florey, 439 North Front street, said today. "Swede's" leg Is still in a cast, which will be removed the latter part of this month, his sister said. She explained that three months after the accident the cast was removed, but that in turning over in bed the leg was broken again, necessitating the cast being put back on.

RUSSIAN PARTY STAGED BY USO IS BIG SUCCESS Colorful Setting Provided For Entertainment Many Aid In Numbers.
