"Them Was the Days" tells the story of the aftermath of the Civil war and something of the per iods of reconstruction and eman cipation. Uncle Mont, through the vivid writing of his niece, describes the flight of his family from Pennsylvania to escape the "fever-ague," tells how fire swept the family from their ramshackle Virginia plantation, and how they moved on to Ne braska where clouds of grass hoppers devastated the green crops. "After the grasshoppers moved on . . we seen long lines of covered wagons coming back," the book relates. "All the canvas was et clean off them, and them bare bows stuck up like the ribs on a skeleton." The Macmillan company, which publishes Mrs. McKeown's books, and the author hope to develop Uncle Mont's life story into a triology, with the third one taking up the later years. The McKeowns live on an orch ard and farm at Hood River, and Uncle Mont lives next door, so uncle and niece find it (airly simple to work together. Reviewers' copies of "Them Was the Days" have been re ceived in Medford, but it will not be on the book store shelves until after the May publication date. O.S I Varied Activities Planned By Groups of Rogue Valley This week promises to be a busy one for several groups. Mem bers of the Philharmonic Society of Southern Oregon will present their spring concert Tuesday at the high school auditorium at 8 p.m., Eastern Stars of the valley will entertain their worthy grand matron, Mrs. Edna Throne and Pythian Sisters will receive arisit from their grand chief, Mrs. Margaret S. Myers. Members of the Medford League of Women Voters will make a final grand effort to induce all eligible voters in Medford to register for the primary election. Mrs. Throne and Mrs. Myers, both grand lodge heads here in the same week, are both from 5t. Helens, Ore. League members, who. can register only voters living with in the city limits, will have registration booth in Penney's store both Monday and Tuesday and in the evening will register voters at all four of the city's elementary schools. Mrs. Hugh Collins is chairman of this proj ect and has spent many a busy hour on it for the past few weeks. One league gal, an ardent member of one party, grimly registered 30 people one after noon four in her own party ana zo tor the opposition; Did you ever hear of Yemen? instead of being a foreign drink. or an interesting new plant for tne garden, icemen is a King dom. Mrs. Paul Smith, junior high school teacher who was one of the delegates to the re cent Oregon Education associ ation meeting in Portland came back with a story about Yemen. Dr. John Harvey Furbay, one of the speakers, was urging the need of a broader viewpoint and more extensive coverage in teaching of languages, geogra phy and history in the interest of world wide unaerstanaing and peace, and he illustrated his talk with an incident from his own life. Dr. Furbay, who has taught in this country and in South Africa, and who was rather proud of his knowledge of the world's countries, went to a United Nations committee meeting. The first man Dr. Furbay met he recounted, was the delegate from Yemen! The dazed Dr. Furbay had to admit that he did not know Yemen existed. The delegate from Yemen, by the way, was not an aborigine wear ing bones in his nose and feath ers in his hair, but was a widely educated, cultured person; Dr. Furbay had no trouble in con versing with him, for the Yem enite spoke perfect English, as well as seven other languages. Dr. Furbay felt that his limited knowledge of French in ad dition to his native English made a pretty poor showing. Webster, by the way, says that Yemen is a kingdom in south west Arabia in southwest Asia; its territory is 75,000 square miles and its population about four million. Mrs. Smith brought back one other convention incident which she reported made a deep lm pression on the delegates, and this one concerns an invocation delivered by Dr. Richard Stern er of Portland s unitarian church. Ususally an invocation doesn't make much impression on the listeners, particularly at conventions, but this one did; it even was given special cov erage in the Oregonian. Dr. Steiner said, in part: "ve pray this morning for some teachers here who are weary of the routine of teaching in un inspired surroundings the un InsDired children of uninspired Darents. We pray for some of the teachers here who would like to teach as they were once taught, out of the love for learn ing and for teaching, but who find themselves the automatons of a machine process, afraid to be persons lest they gum up tne works. Above all we pray for the children committed to the care of these teachers; give them wisdom, strength and cour age and love for learning that they may become good citizens of a great nation. Clifford Platz, Medford artist, has had two paintings hung for the current show of the Oregon Society of Artists, of which he is a member. One is a water color entitled "Table Rock and the second, which the artist named "Trapper's Cabin was done in the new casein paint. This new casein paint is some what like water color paint, but described as being of a thicker consistency with the finished effect looking more liKe oils. It is mixed with water. Casein, which can be "built up" like oils, can be used by artists who cannot paint with oils because of the effects of turpentine odors and other mixtures. Mr. Platz has been invited to exhibit with the Yakima Val ley Art association in the Yak ima museum, but the show will not be held until late summer or early fall. Novelist Martha Ferguson Mc Keown's fans will be pleased to know that her latest book. Them Was the Days, is off the press and publication date has been announced for Mny 9. Mrs. McKeown has visited in Medford several times, both as DAR state legent and as a Zonta club member, and her first book. "The Trail Led North was widely read here, as it was in many other parts of the na tion. The new book is the boyhood live of Mrs. McKeown's Uncle Mont Hawthorne, whose early adult years were described in the first book. Mrs. McKrown has preserved Uncle Mont's Dr. Elmo Stevenson Will Speak on Monday To Oak Grove Group Dr. Elmo Stevenson, president of Southern Oregon college, will be guest speaker at a meet ing of the Oak Grove Parent Teacher association Monday, April 17 at 8 p.m. His subject will be "Open Minds in a Chang ing World."
