The next meeting will be held Tues day, May 20, in the M. A. Loros home at 1862 Delta Waters orad. The purpose of the new group is to promote mutual education and assistance to weavers and to introduce more people to the art of hand-weaving through guild meetings and public exhibitions. Hand-weaving guilds have been formed for as long as hand weaving has been known to man kind. The modern forms of these same guilds have been appearing all over the United States as the interest of both men and women has grown In this art. A few of the western cities where there are such guilds are Portland, San Francisco, Tacoma and Seattle. Those attending the first meet ing were Dr. and Mrs. C. I. Drummond, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Morgan, Mrs. Aletha Vawter, Mr. and Mrs. John Graff and Mrs. M. A. Loros. Mrs. Graff displayed peasant skirts in solid colors with con trasting bands of niany colors as well as different types of lun cheon mats, some bamboo fiber. Mrs. Loros displayed a length of rough-textured drapery and a blue linen apron. Mrs. Graff also showed a tweed suit, and a skirt of crepe texture with accents of gold metallic thread. I Miss Priscilla West Plays Lead in Play; Four See Production Mr. and Mrs. George C. Flan agan, Mrs. D. Kirkland West and Miss Ellen West were in Port land Friday to see the Lewis and Clark college production of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew." ( Miss Priscilla West, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. D. Kirk land West, plays the feminine lead, Katharine. Miss West is a freshman at the school and it is said to be quite unusual for a freshman student to be given the lead in the annual spring play of the college. Miss West, who was gradu ated from Medford Senior High school last spring, is a music major at the college. She played the lead in "Mother Was a Freshman" given by the 1051 senior class. Miss West sings In the Chapel choir of Lewis and Clark col lege and studies piano with Pro fessor Campbell. Boys and girls who are always on the prowl for mother's cook ie jBr: here's a tip that you might tell her about. If she keeps a split vanilla bean In the jar of sugar she uses for cakes and cookies, the flavor will be much more delicate. By meeting and displaying re sults of their own work and by discussing and seeing works of others, members believe they will further the purpose of the guild. Presbyterians Plan Retreat for Youth On Coming Weekend Senior and junior high school youth groups of all churches in the valley are invited to attend a retreat to be held May 2, 3 and 4 at First Presbyterian church.

And like the old saying, It's going to get worse before it gets better. But the excitement is stimulat ing and campaigns are fun as well as work. Around town there's been a perfect rash of "I Like Ike" but tons. Mrs. Bert Pree complained over her little dress shop tele phone that she couldn't keep one. "I've had three, and someone borrowed every one of them. Now I'll have to go down to headquarters and get me a new one." To Mrs. G. Q. D'Albini, who might be Medford's "Mrs. Repub lican," party politics and cam paigns are a serious matter and she is always hard at work be fore and during every campaign. Without fail Mrs. D'Albini is al ways at meetings of Republican women, and with Mrs. D'Albini on one hand and Mrs. Carl Wim berly Jr., on the other, we had a lively time during the lunch eon meeting Monday. While talking about why in dividuals become Democrats, or Republicans or Socialists, or whatever they are, Mrs. D'Albini volunteered the information that she was the first Republican in her family for generations, since she was born into a southern family. "I turned Republican in a state and in a family where it was practically a disgrace to be anything but a Democrat," said Mrs. D'Albini. At a previous meeting of Re publican women the combination of a remark by Mrs. D'Albini, and one from Mrs. Eugene Peter son, practically broke up the luncheon. Mrs. D'Albini had been describing a trip through south ern states some months ago and how she had made a great effort to talk to many people and find out their views on national poli tics. "I didn't let them know I was a Republican" she declared earnestly only to be Interrupted by a good-natured shout from Mrs. Peterson who said "I'll just bet you didn't!" In addition to her devotion to Republican politics, Mrs. D'Al bini is known for her work with the Daughters of the American Revolution and as a gardener. For Monday's meeting, as she often does, Mrs. D'Albini sup plied the table flowers and had brought sprays of pink camellia for the arrangements. Tuesday night's Musical socie ty concert left us envying worn en who are so attractive and who make such lovely pictures from the stage. Mrs. Josephine Spaulding, the soprano, looked positively regal in the flowing white gown with sequin bodice and long stole, and the harpist Mrs. Doris Helen Calkins, was also attractive in a full white gown. The hands of a harpist are so graceful, and making music on a harp looks so easy, but probably isn't. Mrs. Calkins broke a harp string while playing, but man aged the rest of her numbers by transposing. Following the con cert one of the quartet members said that "harps- are expensive to keep up" and added that if certain strings break during a program, Mrs. Calkins must stop and re-string before continuing. During the after-concert party at the country club, the second violinist of the quartet, Mrs. Con stance Elkins, exchanged thoughts about civic music asso ciation concerts with us. Compar ing artists signed by the Eugene and Medford associations, wc mentioned that Medford had much less money to spend and reminded her that Eugene is said to have the largest budget of any civic music associations supply programs. "Then why don't we have bet ter artists?" she demanded. This we found highly amusing, be cause for years some members of the Medford association have complained about the artists brought here and sigh and say "If only we had a bigger budget, so we could hire artists like Eu gene can afford." The two of us just decided that its impossible to keep everyone happy and sat Another auspicious event was the benefit tea given at Hillcrest orchard Wednesday afternoon as a cancer, benefit. Scores of in terested women drove out to the orchard home, which belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Parsons who divide their time between Medford and Seattle, to see dis plays and collections of china silver and antiques. Mrs. John S. Day, a daughter of the Parsons who has been chairman of the county commit tee of the American Cancer so ciety for several years, arranged the tea and was delighted at its success. Mrs. Day looked espe cially charming in a gown of pale blue silk with embroidery trim. When Mrs. L. Paul Walker sat down to pour at one end of the long tea table, she found that her costume matched the dec orations. Mrs. Walker's crisp pink suit was almost the same shade as the big pink tulips which centered the table. One of the engagement stories in this issue will probably make people think someone made a mistake. It reads that Miss I Myrna Turnbough is engaged to marry Richard Turnbaugh. But this time we have it in writing, and the bride-elect also carefully explained that the only differ ence in the names are the "a" and the "o". There was a lot of weeping and wailing early last week over the distressing effects of the extra-heavy smudge excuse us, or chard heating, which hung over the valley. All week now Lav ender, the family cat, has looked unfamiliar because his white paws seem to have disappeared, and Tippy, the usually fairly white dog, was a forlorn sight. But worst of all were the duck lings down in a field along Kings' highway. Every day when we drove by we slowed down to look at the pretty little yellow ducklings but Monday the ducklings- were such a dirty grey all over that one could scarcely find them in the field. Someone solved the problem for his new cream-colored car, however. When we drove to church Sunday morning we saw the car, all snug and clean under a big plastic cover which came clear down to the ground all around. O.S. 1 National Toy Fair Shows Space Ships And Covered Wagons New York (U.R) T h e space cadet is creeping up on the cow boy when it comes to popularity among the small fry. The evidence came out in the numbers and variety of play ac cessories for the young set at the national toy fair in New York. In 13 indoor exhibits at the fair six-guns and cowboys suits got top honors for quantity. There were more space-ship toys and play suits than ever before, however. Television gets the credit for the wave-of-the-future toys, and also for a reverse trend back to the demand with -(111811 stage coaches, period-style dolls and the like. Puppets Popular Toy makers also have made a good thing of the junior set's In terest in video puppets. They even put out a baby-doll puppet which can be manipulated re alistically under an enveloping baby blanket. At this year's toy fair a lot of attention was focused on the "What - will - you - be when - you gTOW up" sort of toy.
