earthy, old-time habits of speech,
as she did in the first book, and
it is as unusual, absorbing and
real as was the first one. "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
