Warm May weather has also brought out the lawn and patio furniture at valley homes, and many of the recent club meetings have been out door events. A special event in the city Thursday was a party for Mrs. Mary Holloway, who was 90 years old. Alert and bright-eyed. Mrs. Holloway enjoyed every moment of her special day. With her pretyy blue dress she wore a big orchid which was tre gift of Mrs. Clarence Meeker, now of New York City. A native of Lincolnshire in England, Mrs. Holloway talked about how she came to eastern Oregon in 1889 to be married. It seems her fiance was worried about how she would like living eastern U re eon in pioneer style. "I just told him, if you can live in Oregon, so can I Mrs. Holloway recalled. Mrs. Holloway had been an Episco palian but it was 20 miles to the nearest Episcopal church, and with only a farm wagon for transportation, the young couple decided they would join the near-by Methodist church. For many years, Mrs. Holloway worked in the Methodist church es in eastern Oregon and the Wil lamette valley, and when her 90th birthday arrived, some of her cards of congratulation and best wishes came from women who as girls had been in her Sunday school classes in the Brownsville Methodist church in the Willamette valley. Mrs. Holloway. who has lived through the exciting age of the development of telephone, radio, airplane travel and other mar vels of industry, recalls that when they lived in eastern Ore gon, there was not even a well on the farm and water had to be hauled by wagon over the pioneer Barlowgate route. Mrs. Holloway j son, William, former Medford business man now living in Tempe, Ariz., flew to Medford for the party. When his mother said that she was born Mary Skelton, he added that she must be a relative of the famous radio comedian Skelton for her sense of humor is a tradition in the family. Mr. Holloway, an ardent fisherman, said he had left his fishing tackle at home after a hard struggle with his con science for he knew that once he started fishing in the Rogue, he'd forget everything else. Fish ing in Arizona is much differeni he says, with lake fishing ioi bass being the mainstay ol anglers in the region of Tempe. Mrs. James Fleming. Medford daughter with whom Mrs. Hoi loway lives, was so, excited over the party that she kept forget ting the names of her own sister, during Introductions. The lone man PTA presiden in the city is Al Randies, recent ly boosted into that office by the Jackson school unit. No one seems to be sure, but many be lieve he is the first man ever to hold a PTA presidency in Medford, although there are many in other parts of the state and nation. It seems Mr. Randies didn't need any coaxing, either. He likes children, likes school and at one time wanted to be a teach er. He has faithfully attended the PTA meetings al Jackson, having three children attending that school, and has been as much Interested in all the PTA work as have the women. The rest of the officers are insisting that there isn't a bit of truth in the base rumor that Jackson PTA can t keep a presi dent. They just move away, or something. One moved to Kan sas and another to Central Point and the last one elected. Mrs. M. A.

It is expected that the card (ans will flock to the lectures of the great Oswald Jacoby, who is coming to Medford Saturday for two appearances.
