of her choice, and she has indi

scholarship is a cash award, and
the college selected by each
winner receives an equivalent
S500 cash grant towards its gen
eral education budget. Six oth

Washington and Idaho were
awarded similar scholarships.
A seven-member scholarship
board, representing business, in

the motor freight industry to
the economy of their state. Stu

states were represented in the
competition.

scholarships, which are to be on
an annual basis.

Meet at Station;
Staff Men Speak

should never underestimate the
importance of his own program
preferences." Russ Jamison, pro
gram director of radio station
KMED, told members of the
Medford Business and Profes
sional Women's club at .their
May meeting Thursday night.
The meeting was held at the
KMED studios on Ross Lane.
Citing as example "Friend
ship Circle," the popular KMED
feature which has been continu
ed in response to listeners' re
quests, Mr. Jamison urged
members of his audience to ex
press their own likes and dis
likes. He also discussed the dif
ferent types of radio programs
currently broadcast.
The merchandising side of
radio was described by Bill Han

his work is not so much to sell

as it is to sell merchandise for

manager at KMED, discussed le
gal and technical aspects of
broadcasting. In the course of his
talk he related amusing situa
tions behind the expression, "due
to circumstances beyond our con

Foreign Visitors Explain
European Extension Plan
Goals of home extension programs in foreign countries are
much the same as in this country according to two foreign workers
who have been visiting in this county the past two weeks. The
visitors, who left Saturday for Oregon State college, Corvallis,
where they have been attending special classes, were Miss Louise
Homminger, Linz, Austria, and Miss Truida Duyvendak, The
Hague, Netherlands.
The two women are part of a I
group of European extension
leaders spending several weeks
in this country.
Miss Duyvendak, who heads
extension work for city women
in her country, states that "a
higher level of living and edu
cation designed to make the
family's money go further" are
the aims of the extension pro
gram in her nation. She pointed
out that "money is scarce" in
the Netherlands since the nation
lost many colonies, and that
colonies, and that families must
economize in as many ways as
possible.
The extension head stated
mat under the extension pro
gram in her country courses are
given in cooking, both elemen
tary and advanced, and in -sew
ing, particularly in the renova
tion of used clothing. Courses
in the education of children are
also given.
The courses are partly under
written with government funds,
but those enrolled also pay
small fees, she said. In addition
to the classes, organized alone
the line of adult education class
es in this county rather than
Oregon's extension program
written material is provided,
Miss Duyvendak said. Those en
rolled must be at least 21 years
old, and courses cannot be given
unless at least 15 people enroll.
Miss Duyvendak is particu
larly interested in the fashion in
which lay extension leaders are
trained in this country. This part
of the program is yet to be work
ed out in The Netherlands, and
she is of the opinion it will be
most helpful. Classes for blind
women are also new to the pro
gram. Ulike Miss Duyvendak, Miss
Homminger works with rural
residents only. She explained
that the extension program in
her country was divided up into
three classifications, information
and consultation, organized class
es and youth work similar to
America's 4-H program, except
it is for the 16 to 25 age group.
In addition to being trained in
cooking, sewing and youth work,
Miss Homminger also is trained
to give advice on gardening
problems. She explained that
this is because the women of
Austria do most of the garden
ing. Health and nutrition Infor
mation is also given, she said.
Actually, the average Austrian
family raises most of its food,
she said, and buys only such
staples as sugar, salt, coffee and
tea. In Austria the women have
meetings similar to unit meetings
held here, she said, bringing
lunches to be eaten at noon.
While here Miss Duyvendak
was first a guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Conger and later of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Heller. Miss
Homminger was a guest of Mr.
ani Mrs. Martin Heitkamp and
Mr. and Mrs. C. Schempp.
The group of visitors leaves
Oregon for Oklahoma, West Vir
ginia and Washington, D.C.
