To Elect Election of officers will be lipid at a meeting of chapter CG, PEO, set for Wednesday, March 1 at the home of Mis. Wayne Welly, 48 North Orange street. Luncheon will be served at 1 p.m. The Oregon pioneers who blazed the trails now have de pendents who burn up the roads. the duplicate club, came home from the recent regional session of the National All-Western Mixed Pair tournament In Port land all covered with glory and master points. Mrs. Conroy, with A. C. Dobey of Beaverton as a partner, topped the second session of the tournament and finished third in the over-all scoring, netting herself seven master points. This is quite a haul for. one tournament, say the bridge experts. Mrs. Conroy now has earned her national master rating with a total of 50 master points, and is the only one in this city to hold the rating. Others in the duplicate club are on the way up but have a few points yet to go. At the meeting of the club Tuesday some of the "regulars" who have been missing from the weekly gathering because of win ter vacations, were back in the fold again. This included Wil liam Isaacs, who, with Mrs. Isaacs, has been south on a win ter Vacation, and Roy Pruitt. The Pruitts recently came home af ter spending several weeks in the south. One of the ardent players missing from the club's meeting Tuesday night was B. L. bander son. Mr. Sanderson, it seems, hasn't been speaking to anyone in recent days, not even Mrs. Sanderson. He isn't mad; it's doc tor's orders. It seems Mr. S. has a throat ailment and it was finally decided that to hasten recovery he must quit talking. So he did. Not one word for days and days and since it's pretty impossible to play dupli cate bridge in complete silence, Mr. Sanderson was missing from the club's weekly sessions for a couple of Tuesdays. The patient has now progressed to where he can talk for one-half hour a day. While the Isaacs were down south they saw a number of for mer Medford people, took in a few plays and shows and Mr. Isaacs played some bridge, com ing up against two national mas ters at one spot. Among the couples they saw while south were Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Stevens, formerly of Port land and now of Santa Barbara; Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Vawter, formerly of Medford and now of Santa Barbara, and the W. G. (Bud) Pflums, who also now live in the same city. The Isaacs spent some time with John B. Goodrich, who was with Mr. Isaacs in his store here for a time, and his wife, who now live in San Diego. Slops were made in San Fran cisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, as well as some coast towns, be fore the couple returned home to Big Rock lodge on the Rogue river. Mrs. John Carter came up with a new phrase last week while giving out a news story about family night at the "Y." Mrs. Carter said a "live orchestra" would play. Greeted with laugh ter, she joined in and added, "That's what I was told to say!" Recently Mrs. Kenneth Farley, ardent gardener and rose-lover, was asked to speak for the Jack sonville Garden club and tell how to properly prune a rose bush. Mrs. Farley evidently de cided that the best way to show anyone how to prune a rose was to demonstrate,' so she arrived at the meeting bringing a rose bush planted in a bucket and proceeded to prune as she spoke. visual education. A news bulletin from New York had a word for milady who sews at home. Says the bulletin, "At last it's here! A long awaited answer to a dream pleats by the yard." The article added that the material comes in nylon and acele and in nil the high style of new spring colors. The same bulletin also mentions a new wrinkle-proof linen male-rial.

The judge, a former mayor of Shreveport, had just a touch of southern accent and was a most charming after-dinner speaker. Later he rega'ed members with "inside dope" concerning the late Huey P. Long and his fol lowers. Mrs. Stephen G. Nye, school board member, and Dwigtt Houghton, councilman for the city, drew adjoining chairs for the event "and while e.tting their dinners gave city problems a good going over. Mrs. Richard Sleeter arrived at the dinner worried about the glow on her face. It seems she acquired a sunburn while skiing the day before and for a time thought she wouldn I even dare put in an appearance at the country club. However, 24 hours sufficed to tone down the di.mage. Valley artists have been In the background for some time now. but spring seems to be bringing . them out again. From Gold Hill : comes word that C. R. Dolph, director of the museum at Mary Hill, Wash., recently visited Art ist Fritz Wertz. Eugene Ben nett, student at the Art Institute of Chicago, is to have some of his works exhibited March 4.

Medord artist. I who likes to paint trees among ' other subjects, recently sold one of his paintings to Mrs. Bill Hu len, formerly of Medford and I now of Portland. Mrs Hulen had j I seen a sketch done by Mr. Platz i I of an old, gnarled, twisted tree I I and since she was interested In 1 ! it, Mr. Platz made It Into a paint- I lng for her. The painting has a ! faintly futuristic tone, with a rail fence and path winding. away into the distance to give it ! imagination. Mr. Platz says the ; old tree stands beside Crater ! Lake highway just beyond Camp White. ; "Trees have character," Mr. ; Platz declares. Another of his ' tree pictures has been on trav eling exhibition with the Oregon Society of Artists for the past few months. ; if' J T -V :-i ' I v m Sgt. and Mrs. Ardell Marxs, who were married In November, were honored at a reception given February 17 when the couple visited relatives here.
