Hand-Weavers Guild
Organized in City
At Meeting Tuesday
Announcement was made last
week of a new valley organiza
tion or hobby group when the
first meeting of the Rogue Valley
Hand-Weavers guild was held in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. John
Graff, 213 Portland avenue. 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

It's in the newspapers, on the
air and talked over the backyard
fence politics, we mean. 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.

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. A ,
new junior siewaiucno in
stance, invites an airborne career
for a little girl. Another might
go into business for herself with
a complete kit of beauty parlor
equipment.
For the small politician In
your home there is a new game
to teach practical political tech
niques for getting elected presi
dent. The makers contend it ia
strictly for the junior campaigner.
