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,

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

which never took place and en

Phllharmonia orchestra mem'
bers gave themselves a party last
Sunday afternoon following the
concert at me nign scnooi, am
never was hot tea and coffee
more eagerly welcomed. 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

had been on the stage later
helped to do the dishes and clean
up the school kitchen. Melba

scurried around with piles of
cups and saucers, Harlnlee Wil
son abandoned his fiddle for a
tea (nwel and the BJorlles, Oscar
and Marie, who are both cellists,
were in the midst of the kitchen
activity.
The pnrty was Informal, but
there were some Interesting
frocks on the scene. Tresa Mc
Mnnnis, who sings soprano with
the chorus, wore a red, low
necked dress which set off her
brunette hair, Mrs. Richard D.
Werner, wife of the orchestra
director, had on a becoming dark
green suit and Mrs. Bruno Pelle

being of green velvot.
