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.

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. S.

Boston (U.fi) Child prodigies
are "mistakes," says Jules Wolf
fers, Boston University music
professor, who was one himself.
Wolfters made his first appear
ance as a piano soloist with Lon
don's Hammersmith Symphony
orchestra at the age of 9.
A child of that age, he says
now, "is not mature enough to
have the feeling and creative
ness that goes with the adult
specialist.
"In judging his ability." Wolf-
fera says, "this is often taken into
consideration and concessions are
made. For this reason it is a bad
thing for the child and not fair
to the public."
Both Sophia Smith, founder of

Lt. Samuel Smith, who sailed
from England to settle In this
country in 1634.
