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.

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.

LAST MO NTH, in one of these columns,
1 talked about the way youngsters like
to put up their own school lunches.
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

ingredients; add oats, raisins and nut
meats. Cream shortening with sugar; .
add well-beaten eggs and milk, com

Bake in moderate oven ;375 F.) 12 to
16 min. Makes 6 dozen.
