EIGHT MEDrOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. April 9. I ISO To Organize Chapter Here Of National Secretaries The United Statea if known ai the nation of organizations, and it Is a rare person who does not belong to one or more groups civic, fraternal, professional or of some other category. Every now and then a number of people with similar interests will form a new organization if there doesn't happen to be one which suits their needs, and so it was a few years ago with secretaries in the state of Missouri. Looking around they found that nurses, teachers, doctors, lawyers and people of practically all professions were organized, so they promptly set about founding a group for secretaries. This was seven years ago and the National Secretaries' association now has thousands of members in some 300 cities, purpose 01 uic association is three-fold: To ele vate the standards of the secre tarial profession, to provide educational benefits and to spon sor civic and social activities. Setting up a definite plan to promote the first purpose, tne elevation of the standards of the profession, leaders decided that secretaries should have a system of certification similar to that ot accountants and Mrs. Jean H. Williams, here from Kansas City to organize a group in Medford, states that the goal will soon be reached. The system will be empowered to classify secretaries who pass the rigid tests as "certified pri vate secretaries." An applicant for this certification must nave had five years' business experi ence, must have certain educa tional requirements, must be an American citizen and must be of good moral character. It is believed that about a year's preparation will be re quired of the average secretary, and the examination will be set up on three classifications which are secretarial techniques, office procedure and practices and bus iness organization and manage ment. Mr. Williami Is now Inter viewing women interested In the new organization, and it is ex pected that the local unit will aoon be a reality. It will be the fifth in Oregon, with Portland, Salem, Eugene and Corvallis al ready organized. The first set of five officers will be selected by the organizer, and the last week of April has been tentatively set for the in atallation of these. Mrs. Williams, registered at tha Medford hotel aayi tha response here has been good. The E. B. DeVoes will with out doubt store away in the fam ily schapbook the cablegram which arrived last week. It not Luzier's Personalized n .1:.. PHONE 2-9277 only brought the good news of a grandson in the family, but it startled the couple a bit, for the wire, which arrived here April 1 announced the birth of David Lewis McGarry on April 2. And it wasn't a mistake, either. The infant's parents live on the island of Guam, where Papa David McGarry is with the navy, and because of the international date line, the baby's birth was announced here the day before he was born, as far as the Med ford calendar is concerned. Lon fusing, isn't it. The McGarrys are expected to return to the states in August after having spent the past two years on Guam. Each business establishment in Medford, and everywhere else for that matter, has its pri vate fund of stories about the DUblic. Last week when John Pntton of the unemployment ser vice interviewed a caller only to find that she should have gone to the social security office for her information, the talk natur ally swerved around as to wny ine average jjci&uu uumh 1 yj more attention to where he is going, or what he is doing and saying, thereby saving everyone much trouble. The caller related how a great many people, every day, walk into the little entrance- way which separates t h e Holland hotel and Mail Tribune news room and ignoring several signs, enter the wrong office. They of fer news stories and ads to the staff of the association and the National Farm Loan association, and try to borrow money from the Trib une reporters. "That's nothing," declared Mr. Patton. "This employment office couldn't possibly look less like a hotel lobby, but ever now ana then some one walks briskly in and tip to the receptionist here and tries to rent a room in the Holland hotel." If some efficiency expert can figure out a way to guide the busy public through the right door In the Mail Tribune-Holland hotel block, a great many would rise up and call him blessed. Society and clubs Kernicks Leave To Live In South Mr. and Mrs. Charles i. Kir nick, who have made their home here at 61S Oakdale drive, left Friday morning to live in Georgia. A handkerchief shower honor ing Mrs. Kernick was held at th Kernick home earlier in the week. Those attending were Mrs. Walter Reinking and daughter Edith Michelle; Mrs. Vernon Bailey. Mrs. Oda Thomason, Mrs. John Dodge, Mrs. Michael Beck and D'Ann. Mrs. George Culey, Mrs. George Watson, Mrs. Carrie Milnes, Mrs. Clarence joraan and Mrs. Bert Staats. Frivolous Froufrou buying trips, always makes her former friends mad by constant ly extolling the virtues of Med ford and the Rogue river VBlley. Mrs. M. believes Medford and the rest of the valley "sells itself short." As soon as a southern California!! discovers the Rogue river valley, he forgets Califor nia and comes up here to live, she declares. Weddings always provide con versation lor the guests lor oays afterwards. Chatter which lot- lowed t h e Matlack-McMannis wedding last Saturday night cen tered, of course, about how Dcau tiful the brunette bride, Tresa McMannis, and maid-of-honor, Duane Carole Maddox looked in their white tulle frocks, but the music also came in for a lot of comment. The bride, herself a musician. wanted something pretty special in the wav of wedding music and Production Credit so it turned out to be. Tradition was thrown to the winds, and the soloist. Mrs. Richard D. Werner, sang "Beloved in Your Absence" by Amy Woodford Finden and "Morning" by Strauss. Another unusual touch was the violin music by Mr. Werner, for he not only played solo numbers but played throughout the ceremony, even doing the wedding marches along with Bruno Pellegrini, who was at the organ. Mr. Werner's numbers includ ed the beautiful "Meditation" from Thais and "Romance." The only traditional number used during the wedding was the Lohengrin wedding march, the Mendelssohn recessional having been discarded in favor of "Adoration." While hashing over again the much-discussed question of why easterners still persist in believ ing that the west is still in tne covered-wason stage of civiliza tion and what makes cities different anyway. Mrs. Mildred Moss of Mann's marie a pertinent comment on ban Francisco. S F., she said, is like a woman who isn t beautiful but who is com pletely charming and whom you can't forget. Mrs. Moss, a clothing buyer (dresses like a model, ton) lived for years in Los Angeles but says she can't stand the plare now and when she goes down on With solemn Holy Week a thing of the past and gay Easter here, the social calendar is ex pected to "pick up." Largest event of this week will be the annual Faster Monday luncheon set for tomorrow by St. Anne's Allar society of Sacred Heart Catholic church. It will be held at 1 p.m. In the YMCA recrea tional hall, since the church par ish house will no longer accom modate the large number who wish to attend. O.

Main FLOOR COVERING SPECIALISTS Phone 2-5487 jStJ " -r vainer J.Jst of frames Qn Earth ! i r you had in your hand a list of all the people in the world who own and ride in Cadillac cars, we think you'd agree that you could search in vain for another list of equal size and greater distinction. Cadillac is the great common meeting ground for the world's distinguished people. Wherever the car is avail able, it has become almost the automatic companion for outstanding personal achievement. And yet, such is the magic of Cadillac's manufac turing ingenuity, that this internationally distinguished car is available at a price which makes it a great practical value. The lowest-priced Cadillac model the lovely "Sixty-One" actually costs less than certain models of numerous other makes of cars. The great Cadillac engine is so economical to operate that gasoline mileage actually approaches that of the smallest, most economical cars. In a recent omcially- supervised economy run, three Cadillac cars averaged better than twenty-two miles to the gallon for 751 miles! And there is simply no practical limit to the car's endurance. It is merely a question of how long you wish to keep it and drive it. The full lifespan of a Cadillac has never been accurately measured. In view of all this, isn't it the part of wisdom to add your own name to the list of those who own this dis tinguished car? This is a wonderful year for moving up to Cadillac. The car has never been so beautiful, so luxurious so utterly thrilling to ride in and drive. It is an everlasting satisfaction to utilize and possess. Better come in and talk it over. We'd be most happy to see you any time. But please bear in mind that every day you delay will cost you its price in pleasure and satisfaction. Why not come in today?
