Mothers' Chorus
Sings For Meeting;
Officers Installed
As a climax to the year, the
Roosevelt Mothers' chorus sang
or the last meeting of Roosevelt
Parent-Teacher association, held
recently at the school. The cho
rus sang two groups of songs,
with a total of seven numbers,
receiving enthusiastic applause.
The association is particularly
proud of the chorus since it is
the only group of its kind In
Medford.
Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth Jr.,
spoke on the importance of re
ligious education in the lives of
American children. She said that
the first great event in history
was the creation of a human be
ing with a soul, enabling man to
deny his animal instincts and
rise above the mere animal crea
tures. Mrs. Bosworth said that
children's ideals are usually de
termined by the lives of charac
ters they love and she suggested
that parents give more thought
to the spiritual welfare of their
children by studying the Bible
and observing the practice of
family worship and graces in the
home.
Mrs. John W. Danforth, retir
ing president of Roosevelt PTA,
thanked her officers and chair
men for their cooperation during
the past year and presented each

ing the past year. Retiring offi

zah. treasurer.
Brief reports on the state con
vention were made by Mrs.

through healthful living, spiri
tual education, public schools,

The Brooklyn Dodgers have
recently been doing some travel
ing by plane. This worries one
Brooklynite. Says he: "Not long
ago in Italy an entire champion
ship soccer team was killed In a
plane accident. What a catastro
phe it would be if an entire
championship major league base
ball team was in a similar acci
dent. I'm worried. I wish Rickey
would keep our beloved Dodgers
on the ground."
Loses Stogies
Joining in a recent discussion
here concerning the comparative
prices per quart of milk in Mi
ami, Fla., and New York city, a
man named John Flournoy Mont
gomery claimed all the major
dairy products companies in the
New York area were losing
money. Mr. Montgomery added:
"I will give a box of stogies to
anybody naming a dairy prod
ucts company of any size that
made a profit in 1949." It looks
as if the gentleman is stuck for
the stogies. According to that re
liable publication, the Rural New
Yorker, the net profit of the Na
tional Dairy Products company
for 1949 was $33,258,853. That of
the Borden company was $21,
890,479. Asking
Queries from clients: Q. In
what film did what actress intro
duce the song, "Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes"? A. Irene Dunne
sang this song in the film ver
sion of the stage hit musical,
Roberta. However, the song
was originally introduced in the
stage version by that actress
known, as Tamara. Q. Don't un
derstand a word of French but I
am very fond of listening to
songs sung in that language on
the radio. My wife says it is ri
diculous to listen to songs in a
language you don't understand.
What do you think? A. Pay no
attention to what your spouse
says. French is a beautiful lan
guage. French singers, especially
of the feminine gender, put a lot
of feeling into a song. I don t
understand much French but I
buy all the records of Lucienne
Boyer, the trench chanteuse,
and can listen to them all night.

"Why did you stop telling us
what you had for breakfast?"
writes a feminine subscriber of
San Francisco. "I liked to read

also claims he went to school

Among the Married
What were you wearing when
married? Does your husband re
member? Of course, if you had a
church wedding that is easy to
recall. But if you were married
by a justice of the peace or other
quaiitiea person, your weaaing
day attire might be difficult for
your husband to recall. However.
if he doesn t remember, don t
blame him. He was probably just
looking into your eyes. There are
illumerable versions of that
poem dealing with the color of
the bride s attire. Here is ona a
California matron recalls:

The most brilliantly acted play
of the current New York theat

"The Innocent s." Beatrice

be our first lady of the theater

ever seen. And I have seen a lot
