Busy Week Will Include
Weddings and Graduation
June will be a busy month for the valley, for June Is not onlv
the month o many weddings but it is the month of high school
and college graduations and the start of vacation time for many.
Weddings seem to be concentrated in the middle of the month,
with several set for next week-end.
This week brings both bacca
laureate and graduation for Med
ford senior high school, with the
former set for tonight at 8 p. m.
in the auditorium and gradua
tion to be Thursday in the sta
dium. Teachers and school offi
cials have their fingers crossed
about the latter, for a downpour
at the wrong time would put
awry all the carefully laid plans
for an outdoor ceremony. Past
years have seen the auditorium
jam-packed at graduation time,
with each graduate anowea oniy
a few tickets for relatives and
friends because of the lack of
space, i
Here from New York city for
a few days is Mrs. Clarence A.
Meeker, who lived in Medford
for several years before being
named editor of The Methodist
Woman, national magazine. Mrs.
Meeker reports her work both
interesting and enjoyable. It is
not exactly new to her. however,
since she edited a smaller Meth
' odist magazine before unification
of the Methodist church 10 years
ago. and was on the editorial
board which put out the first
few issues of Methodist Woman
immediately after unification
went into effect.
Mrs. Meeker recalled yester
day that one of the first issues
of the magazine, which now has
a circulation of over 200.000.
carried an artist's conception of
the typical Methodist woman.
This creature didn't happen to
please many subscribers and
Mrs. Meeker hit upon the idea
of picking a typical Methodist
woman for her 10th anniversary
issue, selecting her from pictures
submitted from ail over tne na
tion. Mrs. Meeker is having i
1urv of men Dick the winner. The
anniversary issue will be out in
September.
The editor reports that the
church is having good success
in its effort to interest young
people in missionary work in

Mrs. Meeker keeps in touch
with Medford friends and activ
ities through her daily copy of
The Mail Tribune and says she
reads everything written by Ed
itor R. W. Ruhl. although she
has to wait for his New York
written copy to be sent to Med

she will be joined by her daugh

Another arrival in the city last
week was Miss Mary Lou Ly
man, who decided to return to
the states to see what life Is like
here after spending 8V4 years in
the Hawaiian islands. When she
left Honolulu to fly home. Miss
Lyman's friends loaded her with
farewell leis and she posed for
pictures wearing five or six of
these.
One was of beautiful akulikuli
in shades of pink and red, an
other was of the white pikaki
blossoms and a third of the little
orange colored ihma blossoms,
these being the flower of the is
land of Oahu. Others were of
carnations, one lei of red and
one of yellow. The islanders
"shatter" these before stringing
them to give a softer, fuller ef
fect. News stories Friday about the
eruption of Mauna Loa volcano
on the island of Hawaii were of
,more than passing interest to
Miss Lyman, who half-wished
that she could be back in the is
lands to fly over the scene a?
many others are doing.
Mrs. O. A. Eden has decided
that her garden must produce a
super variety of earth worms.
Touring the garden with visitors
Tuesday, Mrs. Eden told how the
robins have to stage a regular
10-round fight to get a worm and
she declared that when the extra
long worms are finally out of
the ground, the exhausted robins
have to rest for several seconds
before they gather strength to
fly away with their supper.
What's more ,the worms are so
long the birds have to make sev
eral loops out of them they
can't just grab one up by the
middle and take off.

included In the collection.

street. She attended both the
University of Oregon and Stan
ford after completing high school

Wonder how many people
know that Oregonians in some
years spend a higher percentage
of their income on alcohol than
on schools. A set of statistics put
out by the Oregon Education as
sociation shows that in 1946-47,
for instance, Oregon spent 2.05
per cent of its income on Schools
and 4.4 per cenfor alcohol.
