time It's permanent ... we
hope. In fact, I think wt
can safely promise not to
"blow our top" again . , ,
We can blow like a March
wind however, about our
new Spirng clothes ... for
during the three days we
were closed. Spring crept in
the back door . , , disguised
as Experss Boxes. When
we cut the string, the shop
began blooming . , . with
fresh crisp cottons, gala
prints, pastel linen suits .
and exciting accents of the .
new materials such as me-'
tallic chambray , . . Iridesc

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-

dren must be occupied with
'deeds' rather than words only,
if peace is to be a reality," the
two wrote to Mrs. Roosevelt,
"we are suggesting an activity
that would make them aware of
other young people throughout
the world and together with
them, turn their active thoughts
towards world understanding.
"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,

We don t want you to think we are like the story of the bar
tender, remember When a reindeer walked In and aaked tor a
scotch and soda? the bartender served him and he drank it and
asked how much he owed him. $1.50 said the bartender and by
i. . 1 don 1 b""ved 1 hve aerved a reindeer before. Did you lay
$1.50 tor a acotch and aoda. said the reindeer. Yes. laid the bar
tender. Then It will probably be the last time, said the reindeer.
With us It is different. Even jf it is your first visit our price

Latecomers at the party Fri
day night given at the A. C.
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.

returned from a trip east, should
know all the latest about spring
