Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1943. GIRLS' CLUB ONE HELPED BY CHEST The Girls Community club of Medford, on of the local organ izations deriving its funds from the Medford Community Chest, i it Incorporated as a non-profit! organization with the purpose of providing recreational and housing facilities for the young business girl who is working In the low wage bracket group according to the report of the club board of directors to the Community Chest budget com mittee. The report state that the club is purely local in char acter and has no national affiti : atlons; It is financed entirely through the chest and is oper ated by volunteer workers with no executive salaries paid. Since the club was organized In 1933, over 250 girls have lived in the dub house at 22! North Bartlett St. and not a J single case of delinquency has i ever been reported among its residents, the report states. Home Atmosphere '. "During these times of emer : gency when delinquency among : young girls is a leading na- ' tional problem, the people of '.Medford should feel Justly proud (of their own efforts in behalf , of the young girls of this com !,munity," the report continues '"Resident girls are carefully chosen both for character and need and while living In real home atmosphere under the su pervision of a competent house mother, are thus given an oppor , tunlty to adjust themselves to the business world. "The club is greatly handi capped by inadequate facilities, but is maintaining a wide range of activities including an em ployment bureau for domestics; housing for employed girls; par ties for girls and servicemen: maintains a meeting place for all civic organizations." The annual report for the year shows that 20 girls have enjoyed the privilege of supervised liv ing at the club house; 04 girls most of them coming to Medford to seek employment at Camp White, were assisted in finding suitable rooms: ISO women and girls, many being soldiers' wives, were placed through tne em ployment bureau; 32 meetings were held during the organiza tion of the USO for both senior and iunlor hostesses; 37 differ ent civic organizations held 290 meetings with an attendance of over 6000 persons. Board Listed The board of directors of the Girls' Community club is tallows; Mrs. Dolph Phlpps, oresident: Mrs. Martin Luther, vice-president; Mrs. Leonard Mavfield. secretary; Mrs. Ed Judd. treasurer; Mrs. Porter J, Neff, Mrs. Don Newbury, Mrs. Glenn Jackson, Mrs. Grace Col lins, Mrs. Aletha, Vawter, Mrs. M. M. Morris and Mrs. R. W. Bleeter. On the board of trustees are Eugene Thorndlke, Don New bury. Dr. B. R. Elliott, Mrs. A. J. Hanby and Mrs, B. G. Harding. Mrs. Knight Wins Citation In Work At Kaiser Shipyard Mrs. John R. Knight, who, with Mr. Knight, lived in Medford for many years, is the subject of an interesting article In the Oct. 8 issue of Tore 'n' Aft," magazine published for employees of the Kaiser shipyards in Richmond, Cal. Both Mr. and Mrs. Knight are employed at yard one and Mrs. Knight was recent ly awarded a war production certificate for a suggested improve ment for the cutting table on which she works. Mrs. Knight also has been honored by being named sponsor of the yard's 100th ship. The magazine article, accom panied by several pictures of the Knlehts, reads: "Whenever women In war In industries are featured in the magazines or the movies they usually look like Betty Grable in streamlined overalls. Most of the women shipyard workers, those who stay on the Job shift after shift, are Just average women, the kind that in pre-war days we used to see at the grocery store thumping cantaloupes, or Navy Sea bee battalions in the Solomon Islands are building wharves and bridges out of solid mahogany, with which the is lands abound. Listings of housing accommo dations at th Officers' Outpost are becoming exhausted and a plea was made today by the di rector for additional listings. Nearly 25 applications for hous ing facilities were made at the club yesterday, the director states, and each day finds new families arriving in the city and searching for places to reside. Anyone having rooms, apart ments or houses for rent is asked to list them at the Outpost, where the information will be relayed to officers and their families. RIGHT HE WASI Salem, Ore.

And, to tell the truth, I was amazed at the number of readers both young and old who wrote me afterward. Al most everyone was quick to point out that the younger generation not only likes to pack lunches, but also gets real satisfaction from various kinds of prac tical cooking. More than one reader added this very timely thought: nowadays, wnen so . many mothers are busy with war work, it's a real family help when the children take an active part in making the kitchen run smoothly. It gives them the feeling of "doing something" important, too. I've found through my own experience that youngsters make creditable cooks provided they're not hurried and pro vided they start out on things they really like. For example, boys can handle this one enthusiastically and skilfully, right off the bat: WAFFLES AND PANCAKES 2 eups enriched (lour t tsp. salt Stipe, baking 2 egg. ' powder, V eups milk 2tb.pt. sugar . 4 tbepe. melted - shortening Sift flour, measure; sift again with baking powder, sugar and salt. Beat eggs in large bowl with rotary beaten . add milk and shortening; beat until well mixed. Add Hour mixture and beat with rotary beater until smooth. For Waffles: Bake in hot waffle iron about five minutes or until no more "steam" escapes and waffles are a golden brown. Do not "peek" while baking. Makes six 6-inch waffles. For Pancakes! Drop batter by table- 3 spoonfuls on hot, slightly greased griddles. Turn cakes when bubbles break. Bake until golden brown. Makes 10 to 12 medium-sized pancakes (4 inches in diameter). (NOTE: For the pancake recipe, eggs may be reduced to one and shortening i to two tablespoonfuls). And, these are a "natural" for girls to start out on: BONNIE DEE COOKIES 2 eup. enncneo (lour V, up. soda 1 tap. baking powder . t tap. tilt 2 eup. quick oata i oup eeeoieea rai.in. 1 eup coarsely chop ped nutmeats eup shortening t cup brown sugar 2 egg.
