TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Society and Clubs Nursery School Operator Attends "Corvallis Meeting Mrs. Ethel Tennant, operator of Medford Nursery school, re turned Sunday from Corvallis where she attended a meeting of persons interested in form ing an association for operators of nursery schools, kindergart ens and day care institutions for preschool children. About 40 attended the meet ing, Mrs. Tennant reports, and a central committee was formed to continue plans for the organi zation. A second meeting will be held in May. Purpose of the association would be to see that all institu tions caring for children are li censed and operate under stand ards deemed necessary, she pointed out. An Oregon law re- q quires that all institutions car ing for pre-school children be licensed and inspected, but it is not at present being enforced, she added. A survey made by those interested determined that now only 44 such institutions are now licensed, while more than 400 are known to be operating in the state. The meeting was held in the Home Economics building of Oregon State college. Meeting Changed Members of Roosevelt Parent Teacher association are asked to note a change in meeting from Thursday to Friday, November 18, at 2:30 p.m. The change was found necessary because of meeting conflicts, it was stated, o Children in the fifth and sixth grade will provide a musical program.

A lot of wives complain about housework, but not my Susie. She uses her head instead of her muscles. For example, some women spend a whole day just scrubbing and wax ing wood floors. My Susie cleans and waxes them in one easy opera tion with Bruce Cleaning Wax. It takes only half the time and a lot less work. Yet our beautiful wood floors are the envy of her friends. My hat's off to Susie and her Bruce Cleaning Wax for making a tough job so easy. And I can't help but feel proud of both of them. P.S. For lighter waxing on linoleum and wood, Susie uses Bruce Floor Cleaner. Smart gal, my Susie!'7 ctean Gold Hill PTA Oberves Week Gold Hill Gold Hill Parent-teacher association observed American Education Week Thursday, Nov. 10.

ROGERS GOLDY BUILDING CHAPMAN JEWELERS We Give and Redeem Gold Arrow Stamps WCTU Members Hear Minister "Social Aspects of Alcohol in Modern Life" was the subject of the Rev. Ellmore Gilstrap of Central Church of Christ, when he spoke for members of Med ford Woman's Christian Temp erance Union at the monthly meeting last Thursday afternoon at Girls Community club. "If we protect the army of our best friends within our bod ies, the white corpuscles, they will protect us in time of need," Mr. Gilstrap averred. Alcohol lessens their vigor and therefore lessens their ability to combat any disease germs present in the body. This has been demonstrat ed so often that the best doc tors no longer prescribe alcohol in any form for their patients, the speaker said. A business meeting followed the talk by the minister, pre sided over by Mrs. Guy Cox, president. It was announced that the Medford union is one of sev en in Oregon to be a "Rock of Ages" union. To be so classified a union must, among other things, have had an increase in membership during the year, paid to all state and national funds, and dues. It was also reported that a case' of fruit was given the Med ford union for the Children's Farm Home at Corvallis, and that a box of clothing was given by the union to the Presbyterian women's society for Korean aid.
