Mrs. Stephen G. Nye was re-elected to serve a second twc-year.term as president. Serving with Mrs. Nye will be Mrs. Robert J. Keeney, first vice- president; Mrs. Wayne Stine, second vice-president; Mrs. Roy Rickard, third , vice - president; Mrs. W. J. Moreland, secretary, and Mrs. John- Pletsch, treas urer. Mr. Snider spoke briefly of Medf ord's . new city manager system of government and said it will work "if we let the city manager manage." The speaker pointed out that numerous func tions going on inside the. city are controlled by either, county or state laws and officers, such as sanitation laws and the sale of liquor. v . The city has to plan continual ly for the future, he said, point ing out that it is estimated Med- ford's population will be 40,000 by 1970. He urged citizens not to ally themselves with small pressure groups seeking some thing for the good of only ' a few, but to be tolerant, offer only constructive criticism and keep themselves informed on city government. Mr. Snider pointed out that there has liever been a woman member of the city council and said he felt that women should "accept their responsibilities in this field. ' In answer to a ques tion, he said that the term of the city manager is indefinite. Judge Keating pointed out that the county judge no longer has any judicial power, as in the past. The judge is now the chair man of the county court, com posed of two . county commis sioners and. the judge, and. the function of this group is to man age the county's business. He discused finances : briefly and said "if our taxes are up, it's you .who are raising them." The judge said all departments of the county were working well together, that much new needed equipment has been pur chased for the various offices and that "we are proud of our road ' department and our out standing county engineer." The judge also praised' the county public health-, depart ment, pointing out it is rated at the top among such departments in the nation. He added that he felt this was generally not known by Jackson county resi dents and that the. public rela tions of the department should be improved in ; order that this fact would be known to all. . Mrs. 'O. A. Eden, member of the city planning commission, spoke concerning the proposal of the state highway department to build a freeway which would follow the course of Bear-creek through the city. . She pointed out. that many believe this would detract materially from the beauty and use of Haw thorne park . and the parking area near the Scout house, even though the proposed - freeway would be elevated, and said that for many years it had been the plan of citizens to use the creek bank area for parks' as far south as the Girl Scout day camp ground. . She urged citizens to inform Kim Shoe Store 15 South Central SAL .Tuesday, January 18, 1955 themselves concerning' this and other proposed routes and com municate their opinions to city officials, j j Mrs. Tom Ness reported on proposed by-law changes for the group which will be voted on at the next session. Mrs. Nye pre sided." ' ': .. , ' Nutrition Topic For Meeting of i; Medford Women Mrs. James Massie, RN, spoke for a meeting of Medford Wom an's Christian Temperance un ion held last Thursday at Girls Community club. Her topic was "Modern Nutritional Trends." Mrs. Massie, active in the Natural Food association of southern Oregon, and a board member for the national NFA, stated that the way to better health is through better foods. She declared that whole wheat is one of the most important foods, since it contains large amounts of valuable nutrients. ' The . speaker declared that the remarkable stamina of the peo ple of Russia and Germany is due to the fact that they eat bread made from whole grain flours. v: Mrs. Massie answered ques tions concerning insecticides, and cited reports of eminent medical men to show that traces of DDT can now be found in the tissues of both -men and domestic animals.

A friendly, talkative fellow nam e d-Leroy Kief er is around these days bear ing g lad tidings for women. Kiefer is a man of vision. He envisions things that will make life simpler for housewives. : Better yet, he is in a positionl to . turn wisniui tmnxing into honest-to-goodness gadgets. ,He took time out from 'supervising the workmen who are setting up the "Kitchen of Tomorrow" .to chat sensibly about future work saving wonders. .''. ''Almost everything has been thought of before by someone,' he said. "But maybe their timing was wrong or t h e y didn't go about it right". .; ' He said that even a new kitch en stove with burners that flip over when not in use . is based on an old idea. : ' . . Motor ama ' J - Z T '-V' j : "Much the same mechanism went into retractable headlights back in 1939," said Kiefer, who is director of product and ex hibit d e s i g n for the General Motors styling section. The'Frig idaire "Kitchen of Tomorrow" is part of their Motorama opening here later this week. . "What happens, when junior pushes the 7 button to flip the burners while you're cooking dinner and dumps the string beans into the machinery?" an inquisitive bystander asked. "We thought of that," Kiefer said patiently. "Even the slight weight of an empty pan trips a gadget which keeps the burner from turning." . v ; The -kitchen looks like some kind of pink and plum-colored executive suite, with ; a desk at one side where the housewife plans her menus and can answer the telephone without touching it. All she does is wave her hand over the phone and an electronic proximity switch flips over; so she can begin her conversation. The refrigerator doors slide up and down with the pressure of a forefinger . and the glass oven door slides down like an automobile window at the touch of a. button. . Reason For Everything .:.
