day mail routes and offices of ! er 31 to November 3.
Oregon and California, displayed
several of his many albums of
pfoneer covers, of both states.
He stated that during the gold
rush days it was practically im
possible to hire mail carriers, or
postmasters either, as every one
was engaging in mining. A man
by the name of Voorhies was
first appointed by the govern
ment in Washington to name the
postmasters and mail carriers for
Oregon and California. He was
stationed in San Francisco. The
first expressman in California
to carry mail was Alexander
Todd. He charged a dollar or
more for each letter he carried.
Mr. Smith also displayed a
book written by Walter Frick
stad of Oakland, Calif., called
"A Century of California Post
Offices." It lists every postoffice
ever established in California,
the county it is or was in and its
first postmaster. If it has been
discontinued it gives the date of
that, besides the date it was established.
The first United States post
office in California was estab
lished at Monterey and the sec
ond at San Francisco. Most of the
mail came around the Horn, with
the postage rate of 40 cents for
the half ounce. The rate per half
ounce between towns was 12V2
cents, but very few of these cov
ers exist.
Mrs. Edward Leach, Mrs. Lil
lian Capsey and Roland Beach
were named to the nominating
committee. The election will be
at the meeting December 1. The
December meeting will be held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Kenneth Lewis of Ashland.
AAUWPreTident
To Visit Branches
Medford members of Ameri
can Association of University
Women will meet with their sis
ter organizations from Grants
Pass and Ashland, at a luncheon
at the Tally-Ho restaurant Sat
urday, November 12, at 1 p.m.
Mrs. Willard Duncan, state
AAUW president, will be the
guest speaker, and Mrs. Mabel
Winston," Ashland, north Pacific
region vice-president, will also
be in attendance along with the
branch presidents.
Each year these three
branches meet jointly, with
members of each branch taking
turns being hostesses. This year
Ashland branch will play host
ess to Medford and Grants Pass.
Medford members who have not
already been contacted are asked
to call their branch president for
reservations.
Over 1000 attended the con
vention, including 16 delegates
from Oregon. Mrs. Laura P.
Wells, director of the Oregon
school lunch program, has been
president of the Western Region
of the association the past year
and she presided at the Aspen
luncheon for the region Nov
ember 2.
Mrs. Wrait reports that the
program, arranged by a region
al planning committee in coop
eration with the Denver public
schools, included speakers of na
tional and international note and
that panel discussions, sectional
meetings and food demonstra
tions completed the program.
The exhibits presented the latest
in equipment and foods dis
plays. One morning was devoted
to planned trips to visit schools
and observe the lunch programs,
in Denver and the surrounding
area.
The general trend of the con
vention was to the effect that
the school lunch program should
be an integral part of the total
educational program, Mrs. Wait
reports.
