WE MAKE THEM WE HANG THEM Drapery 6th I Bartlett Ph. 2-6010 Applegate Woman ' Gives Party For War Brides' Club Doubtless there were any number of parties of one sort or another in the valley last Satur day, but one which provided extra special enjoyment was that held at the Otis Buck rancn m the little Applegate district for war brides. Mrs. Buck is English by birth, and she decided that a spring day in the Applegato country would be just thesright time to give a party for the Jack son County War Brides' club, for many of them are English. The members, with a few other friends for good measure, gathered at the Medford hotel and the cars, led by the Red Cross station wagon driven by Mrs. Richard Phair, made up a little caravan. They found the countryside fresh and green as they went along, and the Buck ranch, which lies just beyond Buncom, surrounded with fields and hills covered with spring flowers in full bloom. Mrs. Buck had been sure that the young women would want to walk through the fields and over the hills, and this proved true. The guests wandered around in small groups and came back with hands full of lambstongues, shooting stars or birds bills, buttercups and trilliums. And then there was tea. Imagine the delight of the Eng lish guests to find their favorite Banbury tarts, sugar cookies of many shapes spread with a lem on curd sauce, the rich "spritz" cookies and other delicacies which are favorites in England. It was also at this time that Mrs. Frank Preston, a native of Eng land who has lived in the Apple gate district for many years, brought out a collection of col ored postal cards, collected throughout her lifetime from all over England, and the English war brides fell to reminiscing over familiar scenes. Mrs. Buck, who was from North Wales, also showed a collection of English and Walsh calendars which she has had many years. Mrs. Buck's guests included Mrs. William Burnette, tempo rary chairman of the group, Medford: Mrs. John L. Hawley, Central Point; Mrs. Arch Master son, Medford; Mrs. Paul Edward Dimick, Medford; Mrs. Iris Deep, Mrs. Bernard Mathiesen. Med ford; Mrs. Russell Herbert of Ashland, Mrs. Amasa Gilman of Ashland, Mrs. Emilia Bailey, Mrs. Robert Cretton, Mrs. Rich ard Klimek of Talent. Mrs. Har old Ross of Medford, Mrs. Erika A. Goff, Mrs. Raymond Chavis of Trail and Mrs. Charles Betz, Medford. Mrs. Burnette. Mrs. Master- son, Mrs. Mathiesen, Mrs. Gil- man, Mfs. Cretton, Mds. KlimeK Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Chavis are all natives of England, Mrs. Betz came from Ireland, Mrs. Herbert from Rome, Mrs. Bailey from Naples and Mrs. Uoff and Mrs, Hawley are natives of Czecho slovakia. Also at the party were Mrs Harlan P. Bosworth Jr., who aided the Red Cross in arranging the gathering, Mrs. Lillian Hukill, a neighbor ot tne nosiess, and Mrs. Buck's mother. ' A table setting contest has kept a stream of Medford club women in and out of Brophy's store all week, and has caused endless conversations about lin en, china, silver, flowers and color schemes. Like everything else, each person who viewed the tables had varying opinions. Several men expressed prefer ence for the ultra-modern table which Mrs. Edwin O. McKeen, Mrs. Larry Miller and Mrs. Lou Bates set for the Lady Lions, this having a heavy tomato red cloth set with absolutely plain white Haviland china Many women, on the other hand, were keen about the "pink" table set by Mrs. Charles W. Lemery and Mrs. John Graff for Chapter AA of the PEO sisterhood, or the one planned and executed by Mrs. I. E. Staples, Mrs. E. Ronald Rice and Mrs. Eugene Orr. Their color scheme was in shades of blue, pink and dusty rose. Mrs. Lemery's 150-year-old Venetian glass, used on the PEO chapter table, was widely ad mired and many persons picked up glasses or cups to examine them. This kept Mrs. Elwood Hedberg, on the staff of the store, in a tizzy for fear some one would drop one. When asked if they were insured, she con fessed that the store had pru dently arranged for special In surance during the display? Friday afternoon Mrs. Evan Reames viewed the Kiwanian Dames exhibit, and picking up one of the early American pres sed glass water goblets, which belong to Mrs. Staples, told what to look for to determine whether the glass is genuine early Ameri can or a copy. The goblets are of sawtooth design with square base. Mrs. Reames, who knows her antiques, then was shown a beau tiful hand-painted china jar with silver top and handle which is the property of Mark Taylor, watchmaker in the store. She said it was Victorian in style and that these jars, which look like a patrician version of a cookie jar, were called biscuit jars. Amazing indeed are the con tents of the mail coming into a newspaper office. A food release last wie.'k revealed the peculiar fact that pickles have replaced tomatoes as the third most popu lar item of canned foods.

Speaking of food, the Central Point Extension unit ha3 voted to make a study of the distribu tion of surplus foods in Oregon. Such a study might turn up some very interesting material. Recently a housewife wrote to a nationally broadcast radio program on foods to inquire why, if there are such vast quan tities of dried eggs on hand In government warehouses, can't they be purchased in the food stores of her city? The food specialist had to admit she didn't know why, and declared that dried eggs were a perfectly good substitute for fresh eggs. This week's mail also brought the following tidbit: A Dutch violinist has invented a gadget that turns the pages of the score during the playing without Inter rupting it. A small magnet, at tached to the violin's scroll, turm the page when brought near a needle which is fixed to the bot torn of the page. It can also be used on other instruments. Another recent item said pas tel colored diapers are now on the market and one about toys told of dolls which sip liquids through a straw, dolls with "roving eyes" and a hobby horse which gallops, O.S.
