Main Ph. 2-2330 Auxiliary To Collect Eye Glasses Phoenix Old eye glasses are being collected by members of the auxiliary to the Phoenix Lions club in line with the state project of the auxiliary in sight conservation work. The metal frames made of gold and silver are melted and redeemed for cash by the Short Hills Junior Service league, a non-prbfit organization, and the resulting funds are used to buy new prescription glasses for peo ple who cannot otherwise afford them. Grade school youngsters are being asked to assist in this col lection on Hallowe'en night as they trick or treat at persons homes. Each child who secures old eye glasses that evening will receive an additional treat from the auxiliary at the Phoenix Community club. Everyone in the Phoenix area is asked to search their homes for discarded eye glasses and have them available when the children call. The current local project of the group is to furnish draperies for the Phoenix Community club Fireside room, it was announced at a meeting of the auxiliary last week. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Warren Hag gard, October 13. Mrs. Marvin C. Fisher assisted the hostess. Twenty-one members attended, including Mrs. David W. Hag gard, who joined the auxiliary that evening. Committees were appointed for a rummage sale to be held soon and plans also were for mulated for a social evening when members of the Lions club and auxiliary will meet. The next auxiliary session will be November 12 when Mrs. Leonard Carlson and Mrs. Albert Consbruck will be cohostesses. Group Attends Baptist Meeting Mrs. Mae Eaton, Mrs. Dale Harris, Miss Anna Streed and Mrs. Samuel D. Earhart return ed Friday from Brookings, Ore., where they attended a meeting of the Baptist Rogue River as sociation. Mrs. Earhart is presi dent of Woman's Baptist Rogue River association,' and conducted a session of that group while away. Toastmistress Workshop Held Here on Sunday "Harvest of Ideas" was the theme for an area council work shop for members of Toastmis tress clubs from Grants Pass, Klamath Falls and Medford held in Medford last Sunday. - The workshop opened with a council meeting with Mrs. Peg gy Hamm, chairman, presiding. Dinner was served in the Pi oneer room of the Jackson hotel. The harvest theme was used in the table decorations and favors. The invocation was given by Miss Anna, Streed of the Med ford flub. Group singing fol lowed and the address of wel come was given by. Mrs. Clar ence Wilson of Medford and the response by Miss Zepha Pierson of Grants Pass. A musical pro gram was given during the din ner hour by Mrs. Effie Kurtz, Mrs. Eloise Winklebleck and Mrs. Dorothy Davis, all of Med ford. Mrs. Kurtz sang, Mrs. Winklebleck gave whistling numbers and Mrs. Davis played violin numbers. The workshop was conducted as a model meeting. The model club was named "The Glean ers," with Mrs. Carol Whetstone Klamath Falls, the acting topic mistress developing the idea of "Yours and Mine Ten Years From Now." Mrs. Jane Vander steen of Medford was toastmis tress and introduced the speak ers. Mrs. Kay Metcalf, Grants Pass, spoke on "A Study in Black and White," an insight in to the life of the penguin. Miss Ellen Sullivan, Klamath Falls, spoke from her storehouse . of experience with music teaching in public schools on "The Uni versal Language," and Mrs. A. C. Cameron of Medford spoke on the "Aztec Pyramids." A short satire on "the perfect bus iness meeting" by the Klamath Falls club proved nearly too true to be comfortable. Lexicologist for the meeting was Mrs. Anne Basker of Grants Pass and program evaluator was Mrs. Helen Smith, Grants Pass. Speech evaluators. were Mrs. Reba Martz and Mrs. Margaret Davis, Klamath Falls, Mrs. Wil liam F. Roney and Mrs. Mary Catherine Powell of Grants Pass, Mrs. Edward Klimko and Mrs. ' Arnold Bohnert of . Med ford. Mrs. Bernice Kunzman and Mrs. Marjorie Hopkins, charter members of the Medford club, attended the workshop. . , .

PabttjDflDMiriPfl "Only ants and men, of all the creatures on the earth, go In for deliberate, organized destruction of their own kind. The armies of ants will undoubtedly go right on practicing the art of war. But man is a creature of reason. In his ability to reason lies his hope of getting together in a world at peace. "The real enemies of mankind are warwhich has become so dreadful that we now have the power to destroy ourselves in a blinding flash, and disease, ignorance and hunger. Inven tions have broken the barriers of time and space. People , of every country ' depend on the people of every other country. The world has become small." We do not know the author of these lines, printed in The United Nations magazine last February, but we believe they are worth pondering. Because "planting a tree is an act of faith and an expression of hope for the future" United Nations chapters throughout the United States were urged to plant a tree on United Nations day. The Medford chapter will plant such a tree today with the help of 10-year-old Gregory Elliot. The chapter endeavored to fhd a boy or girl born on the UN birthday, October 24, 10 years ago but finding none, selected Gregory who was born October 22, 1945. The tree selected, a gint Sequoia, seems especially suitable. Largest of all living trees, the Sequoia is a magnificent and sturdy evergreen which has no natural enemies,, such as diseases or insects. We hope that the one to be planted at Hedrick Junior High school today will flourish, standing as a symbol of the faith and hope born with the formation of the United Nations. ' Madame Pandit, a former, president of the UN General Assembly, once said that she experienced a sense of frustration at the number of words that are said about this simple thing" (peace) and added "Ws do not create the cUmate" of peace we discuss peace. We write lectures and learned books about It., Yet what do we do to create a climate in which these words grow?" She likened peace to a lovely tree that we desire to see growing in the courtyard, so that we can relax under its. branches. "But is that tree going to grow merely as a result of my desires and dreams?" she asked. "No," she concluded, "it will grow only if I properly prepare the ground, if I procure the seed and plant and nurture it." Good for Milly! The society editor of the Klamath . Falls, Herald and News has a lot of courage. She came right out in print in her section Of the paper and said "Carelessly written andor illegible copy will not be accepted for publication." Copy so bad it takes every one in the news room to decipher it sometimes it is so bad no one can make it out is a problem on every paper, but this is the first time we've known anyone to take so bold a step. So we say again, good for Miily! Headed by the word "Notice" in large type Mrs. Ramsby said: "Carelessly written and 'or illegible copy will not be accepted for publication. If submitted by mail it will be kept on file and the author may call the Society Desk for explanation or suggestions as to corrections or rewriting. ' "I have no quarrel with handwritten . copy if it is readable. Of course, typewritten double-spaced items are ; preferred but the Society Desk recognizes that this is not always possible. "So . . "Write neatly with a reasonably soft lead pencil, or, if a pen is used avoid light-hued inks. "Cheek your facts. " "Check your spelling. "Always use initials or given (first) name before a surname (last name.) .'Mrs. John Jones' never 'Mrs. Jones,' unless the full name has been used previously in the copy. . "Your copy is YOUR brainchild ... if you don't respeet it no one else should be expected to. "When in doubt, call or write the Society Desk U possible help will be given." ' Tired from her day of rehearsing for the Junior Serviee league's Follies, one of the members collapsed into a chair. at home and picked up the last, issue of Time magazine. It proved to be of keen interest to the member, Mrs., Carl Wimberly Jr., for it carried an article about Clarke School for the Deaf at Northamp ton, Mass.,, and it is for the league's kindergarten for the deaf that the Follies is being given. c - The league's little school here uses the same theory of teach ing the deaf as does Clarke, where the method was pioneered. The method is based on the belief that the totally deaf person is almost non-existent; even those who seem totally deaf to others usually have some slight remnant of hearing. Using powerful hearing aids, the deaf can be taught to utilize whatever remnant of hearing they may have, and learn speech rhythms. The Time article relates how Alexander Graham BelL a professor at Clarke in its early, struggling days, invented a device to help the deaf to hear and was delighted that, it was successful because "now we shall have money enough to teach speech to little deaf children." , The article adds that "a? a matter of fact, had he not been trying to help such children, he might never have started experi menting .with the telephone in the first place." Mrs. A. L. Clay now knows what her two-year-old son thinks of her appearance. Mrs. Clay and the little boy, Scotty, went to Europe several months ago to join First Lieutenant Clay and they recently attended a movie production of "Hansel and Gretel." When the old witch came on the screen Scotty yelled out "There's mama." The remark won't really matter, though, because Mrs. Clay is an exceedingly pretty young mother. She is the former Duane Maddox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Maddox, and her par ents look forward to her long letters filled with interesting descriptions of her stay in Europe. Understand now, we don't recommend this, we only repeat it. According to an article which recently came to our desk the vay to block a sweater after washing is to put it between layers of terry cloth toweling and brown paper and then place the whole kit and kaboodle under the living room rug to dry.

She was the guest at tea of Mrs. Elena Mikhilovna Bulgan in Thursday. Miss Williams, former presi dent of the National Education association, had completed a 45 day tour of the Soviet Union and wrote Mrs. Bulganin to re quest an interview to discuss education. Mrs. Bulganin is a teacher also. The Soviet Premier's wife re sponded promptly and invited the 70-year-old American educa tor to her home, which Miss Wil liams described as a small apart ment in a . modest building 10 minutes by automobile from the Kremlin. Miss Williams said they did hot discuss politics but at one point, the Premier's wife said: "Nobody , wants war."
