Mrs. Frank Fanger announc ed the February study group meetings with first of these slat ed for the afternoon of February 3. Topics are under the theme "We the People of the Ecumeni cal Church." February 27 was announced the date lor the church quarterly conference. Announcement was made that the annual world Day of Prayer of the Medford Council of Church Women will be held in the First Christian church, Feb ruary 24. Theme for the day will be "Faith for Our Times." Looking ahead to early spring programs for the society, Mrs. Jessie Minear stated that mater ial is available for March study groups when topics will be "Women of the Bible."

VanAtisdall was ac companist for singing of hymns and Bill Walker presented two piano selections. Highlights of the afternoon's activities were the talk given by Dr. Laurence Nye, pastor of the First Methodist church, Port land, and colored slides- of Japan, shown by Mrs. Alvin Roberts, Central Point, who with her husband Dr. Roberts and their two children, spent some years in that country. Dr. Nye spoke of the great need for more active participa tion by Methodist women in the work of the Woman's society, serving beyond the field of the immediate organization. He stressed the importance of keep ing goals high with the purpose aimed at being useful in all branches of the church. Mrs. Lewis Gillilend closed the afternoon's program with a talk on present day life in Japan in which she told of the higher standards in regulations of economic, political and reli gious life of that country, due to assistance given by Christian workers. 1 VICTOR Says: "We have been so busy lately I almost forgot to mention an addition to our staff MARY, JO KRAEMER fjur newly married, young and attractive stylist. I might add that I was more than pleased with one of her patrons re marks when I asked if she liked Mary Jo's work. She said 'I am mora than pleased. I was impressed by her pleasant ness and her desire to please me'." Craterian Beauty Shop 41 S. Central Call 2-4110 Visit Of Indians Highlights Week; Ski Party Returns By far the most interesting vis itors which Medford has had in a long time were the ' two speakers for the Knife and Fork club Monday evening at the Country club, Krishna Nehru, whose noted brother is prime minister of India, and her hus band, Raja Hutheesing. Both were in native costume, and while there could be some doubt as to whether one would want American men to adopt the costume worn by Raja Huthee sing, many women in the club audience would gladly have traded almost anything in their wardrobe for the sari which Mrs. Hutheesing wore. It was of gorgeous silk in shades of aqua marine blue, gold and rust. Look ing at the intricate folds and draperies, the feminine mem bers of the audience wondered how it was done and could hard ly believe that the dress was all one piece, five yards in length, and the skirt, blouse-effect and draperies all a matter of the proper winding. The wearer con fessed that she had been giving away sari9 at almost every stop ping place on the tour with the result that she had reached the point where she could part with no more. Mrs. Hutheesing's jewelry,' heavy dark silver with bluish green stones, also drew many en vious glances and the effect was heightened by the dot in the mid dle of her forehead between her eyes. Having always believed this to be a "caste mark' it was astonishing to hear the Indian speaker say this is but a beauty spot, worn by some and ignored by other women of India. She explained that the caste system, not originally an Indian custom, was begun by Aryan conquerors in an effort to pre vent the people of the conquer ing country from intermarrying with natives of India and that the highest caste, Brahmin (to which the Nehru? belong) is still almost pure Aryan. Raja Hutheesing is of the third caste, business men and bankers, she explained, and added that since in the olden days it was forbid den to marry out of one's caste, in the eyes of some she and her husband "are living in sin." Raja Hutheesing said he was so taken with this section of Oregon, since it is much like the part of India in which he lives, that he even Inquired the price of land! Mr. Hutheesing, an editor, pleased the newspaper people in his audience by say ing more people are educated through the efforts of journalists than through the efforts of uni versities. ' Like so many who are fired with a cause, Mr. Hutheesing was so eager, even desperate, to make his listeners understand his ideas that some thought he spoke overlong. Others, however, would gladly have listened an other half hour or so and many hurried to the speaker's platform to meet the Hutheesings and to ask questions. It was at this time that Mrs. Wallace Haskins. Mrs. Ivah Mur ray and Mrs. Richard Werner talked to Mrs. Hutheesing about education in her native land. They learned that to further edu cation of the masses, each univer sity student in India is now re quired to teach part of every day and each student, before he can be graduated, must show that he has helped to teach at least two adults to read and write. The speaker also said that India has many school buses, just like America, and that pupils are picked up at their doors. The school day is somewhat longer than here with two one-hour re cesses. The Hutheesings' two sons arc now in school in Michigan, and the mother was without her speech manuscript, the elder son having borrowed it to help with a speech he was making soon., his first since arriving in thif country. Mrs. Hutheesing said that in past years they had both been avid readers of American comic books, a fact which brought groans from her lis teners who hastened to assure her that they were not repre sentative of this country or were they? The speakers were guests in the home of the Leonard Car- enters while here, with the lunbar Carpenters playing hosts in the absence of the former. Mrs. Dunbar Carpenter, looking particularly stunning in a black evening gown, made a good foil for Mrs. Hutheesing. The speakers went from here to Twin Falls, Ida., and then planned to go to Sun Valley for a week's rest at the famous re sort. A group of Medford ski en thusiasts have just returned from the resort, reporting that snow fell every single day during their stay. This did not prevent skiing, however, since the snow was dry and powdery. In the party were Mr. and Mrs. Larry N. Schade, Eddie Simmons, Miss Carol Meyerr, Miss Hariett Houghton, Bill Wall and Jack Lynch, as well as the Eric Hexbergs from Lakeview. All took ski instruction, the women taking a beginners' course. At Sun Valley at the same Sunday. January J I. 1ISS Group Representatives Invited To Take Part In Meeting At Armory Representatives from all or ganizations interested in furnish ing the two meeting rooms in the Medford Armory will meet in the Armory Wednesday even ing, February 1, 8 p.m. Mrs. Haz ed Van der Mark, president, in vites any group in need of a meeting place, and wishing ta helo out in this civic project, to send two representatives to this meeting. time were I number of movie celebrities, Including Actress Ann Sothern and Actors Lex Barker and Ray Milland. The Medfordites had never heard of Barker but weren't surprised to find that he plays the role of Tarzan. he being described as "a moose." The suesta were amused by the antics of nine St. Bernard puppies. So much snow had fallen that the pups just walked over the walls of their enclosure and frolicked all over the place. Miss Sothern picked up three and took them into the Redwood room for tea before the fireplace. In the course of hit. talk for the college women's club a week ago Hal Bishop, Medford artist, told of some of his problems in painting the murals for the Pio neer room in the Jackson hotel. Like many another artist. Bish op was "hunting a face" for one of the central figures and for a long time found nothing. One day he boarded a bus at Gold Hill and after settling him self in a seat he looked around at his fellow passengers and found the face he wanted. The artist produced paper and pencil. sketched the man s race ana iav er used it for his mural. Tuesday found the Country club dining room full of Girl scout leaders and other volun teers. The "older Girl scouts" had a lot of fun handing out or chids and pinning awards on one another and even telling a few out-of-school talcs. Mrs. W. H. Reichstein and Mrs. Scott Davis were truly surprised at their spe cial awards, and the latter, who had praise heaped on her from all sides, was seen to wipe her glasses after the presentation. Luncheon table conversation Included a story by Mrs. John Day about the time she knocked over the music stand just as she opened her mouth to warble the first note of a solo, and another by Mrs. E. E. Gore, who told of a friend who arrived in a hall to give a concert only to find the grand piano sitting on the floor, minus legs. The concert continued after the piano was rigged up on boxes, a search proving that the movers had for gotten to bring the legs. The high school set is work ing up a mild dither over semes ter exams the first of the week, and looking forward to the "breather vacation" between terms. In addition, most of them are either doing, or learning to do, a dance called the bazooka. Introduced by the Klamath Falls students who came over a short time ago for a basketball game, the dance, somewhat reminiscent of the Charleston of by-gone days, is now sweeping senior high school, O.
