Jean Hart's Diary Sunday, May 7 Mother's Day always tickles me. Promoters wax so elo quent about Mother's Very Own Day , . . and if to cele brate she doesn't have to do the breakfast dishes she's However, I blame most of it on Whistler's Portrait of His Mother not many Mothers 1 know would be so placid about being pastured in a corner with a lace cap and a rocking chair. No the Mothers I know would like a beautiful new blouse lacey off the shoulder for square dancing or sheer batiste with lace insertion to wear under a summer suit. Or they would like a pale blue batiste nightgown with eyelet embroidery and a satin rib bon. Or Nylon slips that stay beau tiful no matter if you wash them as often as you wash your hands. Or hose that are guaranteed. Or jewelry to fill In the va cancies left by sun dresses and play suits. Yep, Mother's place used to be in the home now home is where Mother hangs her bar beque gritl but Mothers art kind of wonderful and after all Sunday is her very own day.

Rural women of Jackson county "had their day'' last Wed nesday when they gathered at the Central Point urange nan for the annual Homemakers Festival of extension units. At every festival at least one per son remarks on the change in the nation's "farm'' women. Time was when practically everyone could recognize a farmer's wife or daughter by unfashionable clothing and a general lack of style, but this is no longer true. The home extension service in this county has done much to widen the opportunities ot iarm women for self-improvement and has helped them in many other ways. In the last two years Jackson county extension unit members have learned, among other things, how to apply good rules of interior decoration for the home, how to repair their electrical appliances and what constitutes gooa nome ligiiiuig. Tnev have lessons almost every year on sewing, and cooking hints this year were in the field of foreign dishes. Last year the women learned a little about the laws which particularly af fect families and homes, and this year they've had lessons on how to make lampshades for their homes and gloves lor mem- splvps.. To be sure that the subjects studied are what the women need and want, a survey is made each year on topics, with each unit giving program suggesuuiio. At Wednesday's meeting sev eral of the women wore clever little lapel ornaments which at a distance look like flowers but which turn out to be feathers and ribbon upon closer inspec tion. A number of these were mnde bv Mrs. Melvin Johnston Brownsboro, a member of the Lake Creek unit. Mrs. Johnston, who makes the little costume ornaments for a hobby, uses all manner of feathers. Mrs. Willard rve nf Brownsboro wore one made by Mrs. Johnston out of grey duck teatner ana rea nu bon. Pheasant feathers are es- nerinllv Drettv. she says, or even feathers from the old red rooster out in the barnyard. Mrs. Clark Ballard of the Lone Pine unit wore a smart little red hat which was nana crocheted, the hat setting off her navy blue suit. Miss Edith Freeman, who spoke for the afternoon session of the festival, advanced an idea which seems to the theme of many a talk given recently by child welfare workers, psychia trists, physicians and others who are worried about the nation's growing delinquency, high di vorce rate, increasing amounts of mental illness and general lack of social adjustments among both children and adults. Miss Freeman, sociologist, made a plea for more genuine love, understanding and affec tion, not only between families but for everyone In all contacts. This same idea had permeated the reports of the various people who attended the recent Gover nor's Conference for Children and Youth at a meeting Monday night. The "report'' meeting al most turned out to be one of those affairs where there are more people speaking than there are in the audience; sixteen in the audience, nine at the speak er's table. This in spite of the fact that it was sponsored by the League of Women Voters, AAUW, PTA and Junior Service league, four of the largest and most active groups In the city. While the meeting certainly had a most serious note, Mar jorie Hopkins kept it from being overpowerlngly so, she being a positive genius, as well as much experienced, at presiding. When Superintendent E. H. Hedrick rose to eive his 10-minute talk, Mrs. Hopkins reached over be fore he had a chance to open his mouth and deftly snitched his sheaf ol papers, aooui an men thick, remarking she thought he had a much better chance of sticking to the time limit if she kept his "notes." As a whole, the meeting proved that "reports'' aren't al ways dull. The life of a clerk isn't always dull, either. A clerk in one of Medford s department stores came up with this story last week. Seems she waitea on two customers, a man and woman, both obviously pretty "high" and with every evidence of having been that way for some time. While in the process of selling the woman a couple of articles of rtnthina the customer asked what city and what state this was and confided mat sne ana her companion had gone on a drinking party in Minnesota and had ended up on the coast, just how she wasn't sure.
