Memorial Week-end Brings
Pause in Social Activities
Memorial week-end and day is bringing a brief pause in the
city's rush of early summer activities. While many will participate
in the traditional parade and ceremonies set for Memorial day, both
here and in other valley towns, many others have planned excur
sions to tne laKes ana rivers, to
or picnic spot.
Saturday those who remained
in the city could divide their
time between attending the lec
tures on canasta and bridge
given by the noted Oswald Ja
coby, attending the sectional
track meet at the high school
or perhaps going square danc
ing. One of the dancing par
ties was at the tlks temple.
Mr. Jacoby is a guest of Mr.
and Mrs. C. Rease Braley, hav
ing been a friend of Mrs. Bra
ley's family for many years.
The famous card authority was
brought to Medford by the
League of Women Voters and
Rogue Valley Country club, and
the Braleys had as dinner guests
Saturday night Mrs. S. . Hiil-
lips, president of the league,
Dr. Phillips and Harry Holmes,
as well as Mr. Jacoby.
Directors of the Shakespear
ean festival, meeting this week
end had a chance to read a
letter from the distinguished
Shakespearean actor, Sir Laur
ence Olivier. The letter was a
reply to an invitation telling
the actor of the observance
planned for the anniversary of
Shakespeare's birth, but arrived
too late to be read at the cere
monies. Sir Laurence wrote "May I
wish you many happy returns
of Shakespeare's birthday and
God speed to your enterprise."
The letter came from his cottage
at Chelsea in England.
Gene Malecki. balcm. pub
licity agent tor this year's fes
tival, is spending the week-end
n the valley to meet with the
directors and make festival
plans.
Angus Bowmer, festival di
rector, spoke for a dinner meet-
ng of AAUW Friday night and
telling about the historical
plays, one of which the festival
will stage this summer, said
they were a record of "human
rebellion." In addition to
"Henry IV," part one, which is
to be done this summer, "As
You Like It," "Antony and Cle
opatra" and "Comedy of Errors"
are scheduled.
The director said the costume
designer had been struggling
mightily over the problem of
Cleopatra's dresses but finally
had some designs which every
one seemed to think were "Just
right." Director Bowmer at
tempted to give some impres
sion of their dash with a few
provocative gestures and a lifted
eye-brow and ended up by say
ing "The costumes are going to
be worth the price of admis
sion." He threw In the remark that
Falstaff, one of the characters
in Henry IV, is the greatest
comedy character of all time.

Once during his remarks Mr.
Bowmer, an SOC professor, let
a grammatical error slip out. He
grimaced and remarked "it hap
pens even to tnglisn prof.es
sors." Life is taking on an added
flavor for the women who are
working with the new Red
Cross community service corps.
Far from finding their new
work boring or trying, they all
declare that almost every visit
or task brings a little adven
ture.
Mrs. Dale Newton started
making visits to the home of a
blind invalid and ended up by
touring the countryside trying
to buy a milk goat. She didn't
succeed in buying a goat, but
did find a goat owner who is
supplying milk to the invalid.
At a meeting of the corps
Thursday she also told about
the talking records which are
supplied to the visually handi
capped by the Oregon Commis
sion for the Blind, and how eag
erly the blind wait for each
set of records to arrive. The
talking records are secured
from the Library of Congress,
which now has 1100 titles re
corded.
Mrs. Chester Guches visits
an invalid boy and when re
cently in Portland, began tell
ing a clerk at the counter of a
Portland store where fishing
tackle is sold about the boy and
how he was learning to tic flies.
The clerk s eyes filled with
tears and she sadly told how
her only son had died of rheu
matic fever. "1 want to give the
boy something," she said, and
added that she would send him
so.ne hackles.
Not having any idea of what
hackles might be, Mrs. Guches
wondered if she would have
trouble transporting them home.
She was surprised to find the
box "full of nothing but feath
ers. While shopping Mrs. Gu
ches forgot the package in a
dress store and had to return
for it. "The clerk gave me an
odd look," Mrs. Guches reports.
I'll bet she opened the box
and I'll also bet she doesn't
know what a hackle is either."
Mrs. Lila B. Thomas makes
visits to a couple in Ashland.
Both are blind, and when Mrs.
Thomas asked if she could read
to them they both asked at
once if she would mind read
ing the Bible. "I most certainly
would not mind," Mrs. Thomas
quickly assured them. It seems
Mrs. Thomas read the Bible
aloud to her mother for years,
and it has been a pleasure to
her as well as the elderly cou
ple to re-read the passages which
were favorites of her mother.
Other corps members spoke
enthusiastically of their work
with the visually handicapped.
a,nd of the courage of these pe.o-
pie. une told ot a woman who,
faced with the fact that she was
going blind, did her housework
in the middle of the night, with
out light, and then checked the
results in the day-time. She
even knitted in the dead of
night, and then looked at her
work by daylight to see how
she was progressing. "You
can't know the despair of those
i who are going bund, she told
her visitor. I
Those who have visited the
homes of the blind marvel at
I the fact that these handicapped
persons Keep uieir Homes as
neat as a pin." One told of the
blind man who is growing a
vegetable garden. "But who
weeded it for you?" asked the
Red Cross volunteer. "I weed
it," was his reply. "I can dis
tinguish the weeds by the way
they feel."
Mrs. Edward Burgess and
others told of the small gifts
which bring happiness to the in
valid children they visit such
trinkets as a string of beads, a
bowl of gold fish or a tiny tur
tle. The turtle has become such
a pet of one of the small pa
tients that he keeps It In bed
