Sunset Magazine Stories Feature Home and Valley The March issue of Sunset magazine includes two items of particular interest in the Rogue valley. One concerns a section of the Vinson Vaughan home at Eagle Point. The other, entitled "March travel, in and beyond -the Pacific Northwest," shows a scene of orchards in bloom in the Rogue River valley and sug gests drives for visitors to make 1in.Jn ivtlTW a an1 4hfl fi ret part of April, to view the fruit blossoms. Suggested are the stretches between Medford and McLeod, Jacksonville, Murphy and .Applegate. The layout for the Vaughan home includes two photographs and a floor plan for the Vaughan children's dormitory-style living quarters. Ben H. Todd, Medford architect, mentioned in the 6tory, designed the home and the bed room wing. The plan for the room points up that instead of many tiny rooms, the Vaughans decided on one large dormitory, 13 by 30 feet, with the sleeping cubicles divided by wardrobes. This leaves a large space for a play area. A. 10-foot-long desk with shelves above extends along the wall of the play area. Other rooms in "the Vaughan nnme flro rn ru cnnwn in future magazine, articles. - . Cleaning of Floor Subject of Bulletin You can save yourself a lot of work in cleaning floors. Elim inating wasted motions, poor tools and wrong cleaning sup plies can do the trick. . Those work -savers are dis cussed in a new publication issued jointly by the Oregon, Washington and Idaho agricul tural extension services. One energy-saver is to drv mop from side to side, it ad vises. Storing cleaning supplies near where they are used will help, too. The bulletin also explains dif ferences between water-base and solvent-base waxes and the right kinds of cleaners to use. The publication was prepared by Hilda Frederick, Mary Beth Minden and Helen Noyes, exten sion home management special ists in the three states. This bulletin, "Floors and Their Care," may be obtained from county extension agents or Ore gon State college. & a Mrs. Robert Morgan (Brainerd photo) Medford Bethel Initiates Class; Visitors Attend Initiation was held and grand guardian council members in troduced at the last meeting of Medford bethel, Job's daughters, held in Medford Masonic temple.
