Medford Women Propose Friendship I Fall For UN Believing that deeds rather than words will promote peace. two Medford women have proposed the building of a friendship patio, or friendship wall, as part oi united Nations headquarters at Lake Success. New York. The proposal was made In the name of Girl scouts of Medford, and through Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, member of the United States delegation to United Nations and chairman of the committee on human rights. Because we think our cnu- THE FUTURE IS A WONDERFUL PLACE- U i WE KNOW AT L.EAST WHO ARE PROUD . . . MOTHER, DAD and THE FAMILY DOCTOR Babyhood, Boyhood, Adolescense . . .

"The plan is briefly this: the building of a Friendship Patio or Nativestone Court or Friend ship Wall wherein young people from all over the world would send a piece of native stone, per haps with one side polished, to be placed in the floor of a patio or in the wall of a court. "We feel that some tangible evidence of world interest in the perpetuating of world under standing has great value. Pen nies could be collected but no real effort to interest would be called forth as would the interest in selecting and preparing na tive stone that could be used as a part of some permanent structure." Mrs. Roosevelt first acknowl edged the letter with a brief note and later wrote at length "There have been several proposals for world-wide Darticination in the final beautification of the United Nation's headquarters and Unit ed Nations officials are interest ed in adopting some procedure which will give an opportunity to a great many people to con tribute in some way to the head quarters project. "Several officials hold the be lief that worldwide participation in some phases of the headquar ters development would be bene ficial to the United Nations and would be in keeping with the spirit of the charter. There have been suggestions for a peace garden in which flowers from all over the world could be planted and other suggestions. The problems are being studied at this time. A copy of your letter is on file at the headquarters' plan ning office." The two women who made the proposal are both Girl scout workers and they prefer to re main anonymous, but both were encouraged by Mrs. Roosevelt's interest. Mention of the proposal was made during the course of a speech at the meeting of Med ford Toastmistress club Monday night. Talking on women of his tory, Mrs. Marjorle Hopkins, executive secretary of the Girl scouts, included Mrs. Roosevelt and told how the UN delegation member and chairman had re sponded to the local proposal. When Mrs. James J. Boyle, also a member of the Toastmis tress club, was asked to give an impromptu talk on "The Care and Culture of Roses" her fel low members were puzzled by her sudden burst of laughter. It seems the topic could hard ly have been more timely, since she and her husband had just finished planting 800 of a 1,000 bush project. The Boyles, and their neighbors. Dr. and Mrs. George K. Goodrich, are trying out the old world custom of planting hedges Instead of build ing fences. The two couples ordered 2.200 multi-flora hedge roses from a firm in Illinois. The Boyles, who raise collies and golden retriev ers, are enclosing a tract of about two acres for the dogs, and the Goodriches plan to eventual ly enclose about 15 acres of pas ture. In three years the hedge is supposed to be strong enough to keep animals of all sizes from breaking through. Since ordering their roses (and the Goodriches have to plant many more) the couples have discovered that both the Cali fornia and Oregon game com missions are urging farmers and country home owners to plant the hedges, claiming that they provide cover for quail, pheas ant and other game birds and eventually result in larger quan tities of these for the hunter. In her talk before the club Mrs. Boyle told how she and her husband fin tried the method of digging a small trench and setting the rose plants in this but since this proved painfully slow they finally hit on the scheme of punching a hole in the ground with a sharp-pointed instrument and poking in the plants. When Mrs. Bernice Kunzman was asked to talk about spring, she recalled how the slopes of noxy Ann tor years nave Been a favorite haunt with her in the spring because of the fields full of lamb tongues and shooting stars. Mrs. Kunzman has lived in Medford all her life and is full of anecdotes and stories about past years in the city. Once when asked to speak "off the cuff" about favorite American games, she passed lightly over baseball, football and basketball and said "there can never be anything like a warm summer night, a full, bright Rogue valley moon and the cry along Oakdale ave nue of run, slieep run! Alex Tummers. just back from Europe, was recounting how the black market operators in Paris and France hang around hotel entrances, cafes and tour ist spots to contact Americans. invariably singling them out. Asked how this was done, he re plied, "by their clothes." In the case of the men, Mr. Tummers blames their ties. "No European would dream of going out wearing the kind of tics American men wear, he de clared. A tie considered conserv ative over here is louder than the ordinary ties of Europeans. And of course, there are other differences in dress." When the Tummers arrived at their home near Central Point after an absence of six weeks they found their driveway blocked by two large pine trees which had blown down during a storm last winter. Their home coming was also saddened by the news that tneir pet anima tion, "Sooner," had died while they were away. The spotted doe was a favorite with custom ers of the Tummers' inn.

It's not often that store win dows create enough interest to prompt telephone calls, but this week Stone's window did just that. Window shoppers called in to ask if there shouldn't be a story about the Stones woodland scene. Using moss, leaves and bark, the couple formed a back ground for figurines of elves, animals and sprites. There is even a clump of violets in bloom, and a tiny water fountain to complete the picture O.S.

Pierce home to announce the en gagement of Tresa McMannls and Ralph Matlack, were greet ed by the sight of pairs of guests all entangled in twine. In this parlor game about 24 inches of string is tied around the wrists of one person, another piece about the same size is then looped through and the ends tied to another guest. The result is two complete circles, arms plus string, inter-locked, and the trick is to get loose without breaking the string. Concentration and confusion resulted. Some tried stooping down and laying one piece of string on the floor while the partner stepped through and various other maneuvers were tried, most resulting in a tangle of string and arms. Anyhow, Claude Haggard and his partner. Miss McMannls' aunt, Mrs. Earl Marsh of Nebraska, were the first to free themselves but some of the frustrated couples just fi nally broke the string. Joining the ranks of the "homecomers" are Mr. and Mrs. C.A.C. Tolman, who have re turned from a month's trip in southern California. They spent some time with their cousin, Miss Paulena Carter, well known west coast pianist, and were also guests of the Allen Sheldons, owners of the well-known Vro- man's Book store In Los Ange les, and the Clifford Mooers. Mr. Mooer owns stables of racing horses, both In California and Kentucky. Including Old Rock- port and Hawley, which have been in the racing news recently. En route home the Tolmans spent some time with Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Pedrantl of Peta luma. The Pedrantls were In the valley last fall as guests of the Tolmans, and Mr. Pedrantl, whose hobby is cooking, concoct ed a dinner of barbecued pork SDareribs that the guests are still dreaming about.
