Medford Woman Named to Board Mrs. Frank Conner of 503 South Holly street has been named a member of the board of the Mental Health Association of Portland, according to an an nouncement by the association. Mrs. Conner has been inter ested in the work of the associa tion for some time, and is also the new recording secretary of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers. The association carries on an educational program "aimed at the elimination of mental ill nesses and the strengthening of mental health in all citizens." It was organized in 1932, and has worked steadily toward the im provement of the facilities for the care of the menlallv ill who require intitutional care and the development and extension of treatment service both in the state hospital and on an out patient basis. It is also the goal of the Men tal Health association of Oregon to increase membership to the recommended "one member for every inmate of the state's mea tal hospitals." In this way. the association believes that educa tion and understanding can be distributed throughout the state in such a way as to make it pos sible to prevent the increase of mental illness and to alleviate the already existing illnesses.

Rules for the camp were estab lished at a meeting of the day camp committee held Thursday at the camp site, with counsel lors and aides also attending. Objectives of the camp are to provide recreation of a whole some, constructive nature and to teach cooperation. The primary theme is emphasis on outdoor living, and the secondary theme is international friendship. Each counselor has chosen one foreign country as a basis for training in her unit. Units have been set up for girls who will be in the third through the seventh grades. .Mrs. A. E. Stout, district day camp chairman, emphasizes especially that the day camp is for all girls, Scouts and non-scouts, and that camp will last for the full 10 days as originally planned, June 12 through June 23. Any girls attending Bible school will be welcome at the day camp at noon, and will be given full credit for attendance at camp. Girls who wish to at tend and have not yet registered, may do so at the camp center. As a part of their outdoor cooking training, campers will plan their own menu the day before, and will bring the food necessary for that menu, pre paring and cooking it them selves. Highlight of Thursday's meet ing was a demonstration of out door cooking methods by Mrs. Rollin Jones, area camp direc tor. Attending the meeting were Mrs. Gilbert Gross, Mrs. G. N. Greenwood, Mrs. Charles Smith, Mrs. R. E. Barnum, Mrs. Roy White, Mrs. C. M.

Rodeo, Lions Convention Bring Many Valley Visitors Business men in riding boots and Stetsons, clerks garbed in gaudy shirts and scarves, windows full of levis, saddles and hay all point to one event this week-end, the annual rodeo of the Jack son County Sheriff's Mounted posse which opened yesterday and continues todav. ! One of the bright spots of the rodeo week-end was the square dance party at the armory last night, and this afternoon the program at the fairgrounds in cludes drills by several mounted troops, as well as the usual "bronc busting." All of the city's visitors this week-end won't be rodeo-bound, however, for several hundred are expected for the annual state convention of the Lions and La dv Lions, which begins this aft ernoon and continues for two days. Graduations aren't all caps and gowns, diplomas, solemn ad monitions to youth and slow marches. There's also the pres ents, flowers for the girls, a few tears at the thought of losing old friends and smiles, too. Thursday's graduation was the first ever held outdoors in Med ford and doubtless also the first celebrated with roman candles. After the more than 200 students had marched in and taken their nlaces on the SDeciallv construct ed platform in the stadium, the preliminaries were over ana ine speaker had said his first few words there was a loud swish, a boom and a shower of colored lights. However, the pranksters' aim was poor and the candles fell short of the special stage. The lights were scarcely gone from the sky when the audience saw two or three of the men fac ulty members sprinting across the field in the direction of the firing. Later the smiles really broke out on the faces of the audience. As the graduates retired from the field to the slow strains of the perennial "Pomp and Cir cumstance, ' and only a few re mained in sight, the measured steps of the boys gradually Quickened until they were do- j ing double time and finally the last lew jum simpiy ijii. Graduation would certainly be a dreary affair without the marches and other music, but the band members who played Thursday night must surely now have "Pomp" well memorized. It took almost nine minutes of steady playing before the last graduate was on the stage. Di rector I. A. Mirick varied the re cessional by turning to "Auld Lang Syne" as the blue-clad fig ures left the field. Among the seniors were many who were making their last high school appearances as instru mentalists or vocalists. In addi tion to those who play in the band. 12 joined their voices in singing the familiar "Deep Riv er." These were Jane Durno, Maxine Myers. Donna Mack, Eu nice McKittrick, Florence Lyons, Virginia Richmond, Bob Semon, Jim Bryant, Jim Baker. Jim Grimm, Roger McUne and War ren Wendt. Dr. G. Herbert Smith hasn't forgotten his days as a graduate seated on the stage during com mencement, for his talk, while full of good advice, was light ened with a number of witty stories. He remarked that the term "education" meant many things to many people and told of the English schoolmaster who once said that education was the process of casting synthetic pearls before real swine. Dr. Smith praised the Medford school system and said that an examination of the records of Medford students who have at tended Willamette university showed that none had "ever been in trouble" scholastically. He had stressed the importance of being able to read, write and under stand the English language prop erly and said that not all high school graduates were as accom plished with their native lan guage as they should be. When he casually mentionad "remedi al" courses for Willamette fresh men were often found necessary, a stir swept through the class and one could practically hear the resigned groans. It's almost a certainty that when diplomas are being handed out a lot of people uneasily won der If they are going to come out even with the graduates, or will the last poor student be left without one. When Principal Les ter Harris and his assistant. Miss Josephine Kirtley. were holding a "post-mortem" Thursday night someone asked if that question didn't bother the school officials. "What do you think I've been doing all day?" inquired Miss Kirtley. "I've been counting di plomas." Last Sunday the class heard the Rev. Holly Roy Jarvis de liver the baccalaureate address, sneaking on the importance of the Bible. The minister, who opened his talk by saying that sometimes he wondered if the speeches made to gradrtes were ever heeded, told the young peo ple they should know the Bible and said. "The Bible remains the charter of civilization." He reminded them that the Bible is still the world's best selling book and said it has been translated into 1.100 languages and dialects. Shakespearean Festival work- Berg's Cafe Highway 99 Talent Will Be Closed One Week June 12 to June 19 Stop by and SEE OUR "NEW LOOK" June 19th ers and fans are rejoicing over the news that Dr. Margery Bai ley of Stanford university has made arrangements to come to Medford in July for a brief lec ture series. Those working on this project plan to kill the pro verbial two birds with one stone not only will they provide val ley people with the opportunity to hear first-rate lectures on Shakespeare by a noted author ity, but they will at the same time raise money for scholarship funds for student actors who par ticipate in the festival. The committee has gone a bit further, too, and is making plans for a really plush party at some country home in connection with the lecture series. Probably the series will be Friday, Sunday and Monday, with the Sunday lecture given In connection with the party. Dr. Bailey could not come to Medford for any lengthy period, for not only is she teaching at Stanford for the summer, but will be in the cast of a produc tion of Euripedes "Trojan Wom en." Dr. Bailey's performance as the nurse in "Romeo and Juliet" last summer was one of the hits of the festival and her lectures at the Southern Oregon college brought raves from students and townspeople alike. If the dis tinguished university professor were not so brilliant and so charming, one might venture to call her "a character." At any rate she is an outstanding author ity on the famous man and his piays and she makes her lectures exciting. 1 Surprise Party Given For Mrs. Lewis Thanos Mrs. Lewis Thanos was hon ored guest at a gathering of rel atives and friends Wednesday in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Thanos, 735 West Palm street.
