rOUR MEDFOHD (OREGON) Week Disorganized For Medford Groups; Travellers Return Last week seemed a bit disor ganised for Medfordltei, particu larly clubwomen, who had diffi culty deciding whether it wbb better to hold scheduled meet ings, and take chancel on any members being able to struggle through the snow and slush, or to cancel them, the Utter course involving complicated series of telephone conferences between officers, chairmen and speakers, to say nothing of cancellation and postponement notices In the paper and on the radio. However, republican women w e r e n't discouraged by the weather Monday, for almost the usual number turned out for the monthly meeting. What's more, three members of the county srouo. Mrs. Mary noie, mi. Peter Vogel and Mrs. inomas King, drove all the way irom shady cove in me m, uy maintained it wasn't too rugged, Just required a little shoveling to Bet the car from a side road on to the highway, and the rest was asy. Those who were forced to trav al north and east on business came home declaring that what ever the weather was like here, it wasn't as bad as other sections. And Mrs. Edward J. Bell, form er Klamath resident, shuddered at the recollection of Klamath winters and said Medford should n't complain. w Maybe it was also the weather which was responsible for the fresh crop of rumors which swept the city the past few week, Whatever the cause, there aecmed to be more than the rou tine number of tips on marriages which never took place and en gagements of persons who claim they don't even know one an other. ..u 4Via weather.

Players as well as their guests who had been in the audience were chilled to the bone, the heating system of the school not having func tioned too well, and the serving committee could scarcely keep up with the demand. The orchestra members not on ly planned the party but did all the work, with help from the chorus mombcrs, who didn't per form for this concert but will alng In one being planned tor spring. Musicians who earlier had been on the stage later helped to do the dishes and clean up the school kitchen.

Some valley folk who left for "winter" vacations report that they found exactly that. The Raymond Refers, who went south for the annual east-west football game and then on to Los Angeles, returned by way of Las Vegas and Reno. Nevada, having heard of the terrible road conditions In northern California. Trapped by the blizzard, they spent a week traveling from Reno to Medford.
