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.

Dear Families:
We have been watching Mother browsing through the store
and have noted her delight in . . .
The new pottery In enchanting spring time colors flower
bedecked as though the roses, violets and orchids, had been
bewitched forever as they formed a nosegay on planters, ashtrays,
cigarette boxes, vases.
Friendship cups and saucers as lovely as a dream for to
dausc and tomorrow bequeathing.
Brass and copper welded into platters, vases, candlesticks
ind gleaming with the heart deep beauty of burnished metals.
Presents for mother range In price from 59c . . . The least
expensive, charming in its simplicity. Choose at least a card from
a gala selection. Anyone can afford to be sentimental on Mother's
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.
