Plans are now being com
pleted for the" observance here
of the annual World Day of
Prayer on Friday, February 25.
Sponsored by Medford Council
of Church Women, the program
here will be one of thousands
held in all parts of the world
that day. It is set for 2 p.m. at
First Methodist church.
Mrs. Claude Sparks, presi
dent, states that Mrs. Duane
Bowman will take charge of the
program which will have as its
theme "Abide in Me" from John
15:4. The international service
to be used was prepared by Miss
Joregelina Lozada of Buenos
Aires, Argentina, a minister of
the Disciples of Christ.
Each year an offering is tak
en at the World Day of Prayer
program, and the funds are used
for interdenominational proj
ects. Supported in this way are
a Christian education program
in 14 governmental Indian
schools, a training program for
American Indian Christian lead
ers at Cook Training school,
Phoenix, Ariz., and church and
community work among Indians
in industrial centers. Money also
aids the low-income farm com
munities and the work which
the national council carries on
among migrants. It also sup
ports the work of the commit
tee on Friendly Relations
Among Foreign students which
provides services to an estimat
ed 3,000 students yearly.
As a result of this far-reaching
program the child of a mi
grant laborer may play in the
safety of a child care center, an
American Indian, going to the
city in search of work is given
help in finding a home for his
family and college students
from overseas are guided and
advised.
In Oregon under the direction
of the state supervisor, Miss
Whitaker, the migrant ministry
covers four major crop areas
including the Klamath, Willa
mette valley and The Dalles ter
ritories. Christian education, re
creation, creative arts and crafts
and other phases are covered in
this program.
It is ' stressed that this far-
flung program is made possible
each year through the prayers
and offerings received on the
annual World Day of Prayer.
Mrs. Miriam Libby Evans, na
tional director of the World Day
of Prayer, in announcing plans
for the 1955 observance said it
is hoped that "the sense of per
sonal mission of each one of us
who prays and who gives will
be expressed throughout the
rest of the year in the many op
portunities for service to our
churches, to our communities
and to the strangers in . our
communities who wait for our
understanding and an invitation
to welcome in our churches and
our homes. Thus the kingdom of
heavon on earth for which we
pray comes closer."
A nursery, with an attend
ant will be open during the pro
gram without charge.

Men's Ties Added
To Femme Finery
New York U.R) Add an
other item to the long list of
men's wear the women have
adapted for their own wardrobes.
Now it's ties shortened and
widened but otherwise virtually
the same as those worn by the
men.
The ties, called "Cravatinna,"
are the idea of an Italian de
signer who is introducing them
to American stores. They're
made of men's tie fabrics, tied
in a Windsor knot, and sug
gested for wear with suits,
sweaters and tailored shirts.
Polished brass will not tarnish
if it is painted with a clear
lacquer.

Rosarian Talks
For Meeting of
Phoenix Women
Ernest Vehrs, Rosarian from
Grants Pass, was "guest speaker
for a Phoenix Garden club meet
ing on February 11. Mr. Vehrs'
subject was "Roses Their. Care
and Culture." He told us of his
test garden, to which nurseries
send roses which have not yet
been patented and named.
Mr. Vehrs illustrated his lec
ture on the blackboard, shoving
how roses should be planted. He
suggests that if at all possible,
roots below ground and canes
above ground should be the
same length. He also illustrated
how the different types of roses
should be pruned, getting rid
of all old wood, infected wood
and cross limbs.
Cutting rose blooms so that
there will be future blooms in
the same year, Mr. Vehrs said,
such cuttings should be made
just below the second 5-leaf clus
ter. A question and answer hour
followed the lecture, and lunch
was - served by the hostesses,
Mrs. W. A. Shutt, Mrs. George
Hartley and Mrs. A. E. Stevens.
The president, Mrs. Thomas
Carter, appointed a nominating
committee composed of Mrs. R.
E. LeVander, chairman; Mrs.
George Crawford and Mrs. Ben
nett Austin. Election of officers
will be held at the April meet
ing. The club made tentative plans
for a spring flower show to be
held Sunday, April 17. Mrs.
Charles Hockersmith was ap
pointed chairman. " '
Guests at the meeting were
Mrs. Addie Smets of the Jack
sonville Garden club, Mrs. R. W.
Smith, Mrs. Charles Stearns and
Mrs. Jack Crump of the Med
ford Garden club, and Mrs. M.
W. Peck, Medford.
Session Planned
By Foods Group
Tuesday Night
"Health From the . Ground
Up" is the subject of a meeting
of the Living Foods Study group
to be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday,
February 22 at the George C.
Jennings residence, Saginaw
drive. Any one interested in
knowing how foods of greater
mineral content and food value
may be raised are welcome, it
is announced.
Mr. and Mrs. Vera Shangle
and daughter Caroline, will give
the highlights of the Natural
Food and Farming national con
vention" at Long View, Texas,
February 2-4. Reports of special
interest will be given.
The general subject restated
in many ways, is that the 'basis
of health is the fertility of the
soil.'
The president, Dr. Joe D. Nich
ols of Atlanta,' Ga., and Roy Hoo
ver of Gilman, 111., soil experts,
were followed by Fred D. Miller
D.D.S. who stated that the
"mouth is the barometer of our
health and its condition reflects
the general health or lack of it."
Henry Trautman M.D. of Madi
son, Wis., presented a document
ed case against modern meth
ods of food production. He cited
the farmer who too frequently
raises everything for the market
and provides only highly proc
essed and refined and devitalized
foods for nourishment for his
own table.
This local nutrition study
group, now in its third year,
hopes to redouble its efforts to
share the knowledge gained by
a study program through or
ganic gardening practices and
methods of procuring the most
nutritious foods for family
health, it is stated.
