Roosevelt Association
Marks Founders' Day;
Panel Discussion Held
Founders' day was observed at
the last meeting of Roosevelt
Parent-Teachers association, held
at the school. Mrs. John Dan
forth, president of the associa
tion, gave a brief summary of
Roosevelt PTA activities and pre
sented Mrs. L. L. Sanders, Mrs.
Orrin Brown, Mrs. J. W. Bar
nard, Mrs. John Carter and Mrs.
W. A. Arnold, past presidents,
with corsages.
Mrs. Frank Van Dyke, legis
lation chairman, explained the
state referendum on the basic
school support law which will
be on the November ballot and
the association voted to contrib
ute $15 towards an advertising
campaign supporting the referen
dum. Dr. J. D. McAuley presented
six students from Southern Ore
gon college in a panel discussion
on the advantages and disadvan
tages of "ability grouping" of
pupils in the primary and in
termediate grades. Participat
ing were Miss Marjorie Flineau,
Mrs. Beulah Jensen, Virgill
Wolfe, John Smith, Jerry Ed
wards and Gene Farthing.
It was brought out that while
the average teacher may teach
more effectively in a school
where the grouping system is
used, the plan is considered un
democratic, puts pupils in lab
eled groups and provides less
incentive to do better work.
A silver tea followed the meet
ing. Mothers of pupils in the
second grade were hostesses with
a committee composed of Mrs.
M. L. Tedrow, Mrs. Vincent Bev
is, Mrs. Elliott Becken, Mrs. O.
H. Bengtson and Mrs. H. F. Mor

Jacksonville Scenes
By Gold Hill Artist
Displayed In Store
Taking advantage of the warm
sun several days ago Fritz
Wertz, Gold Hill artist, did some
sketching in historic Jackson
ville. Thoughts of painting the old
Lyden house, landmark building
on the corner of California and
Oregon streets in Jacksonville,
had been tempting Mr. Wertz
for some time. However, sum
mertimes are not good for sketch
ing the house, since much of the
antiquity and beauty. of the old
building are hidden when the
big maple in front is leaved out,
and winter weather, when fin
gers are stiff from cold, isn't
conducive to sketching, either.
But a bright spring day is just
right, so artist Wertz lost no time
in whipping out his pad and
pencil. With an artist's eye for
that "extra touch," he added an
old "codger" with a cane, and a
dog. So realistic was it that the
proprietress of the Nugget con
fectionery exclaimed "Why that's
Grandpa W. who comes in every
week, stomps around on the floor
with his cane and says 'Ain't my
copy of the Saturday Evening
Post here yet?' "
The painting, along with an
other one of Jacksonville, are
being displayed In the window of
Barkers store in Medford. The
second one is titled "Amy Dow's
Backyard in Old Jacksonvillee"
and shows an old structure in
which a combination grocery
store, clothing store, eating and
rooming nouse was maintained
by Mrs. Dow in the days when
Jacksonville was still the county
seat.
"I sure love that old town of
Jacksonville-it s an artist's para
dise," says Mr. Wertz. j
The picture of the Lyden
house is to be sent to Portland
later to be shown.
