Some have assumed leadership duties with fraternal, religious or political groups, others are carrying on special projects for organizations to which they belong and still others are in the news because of their professions. One young woman, Miss Noreen Kelly, returned to Medford from a tour of Europe and has begun the practice of law with her father, the pair being one of two father-daughter law firms in Oregon. A newcomer to Medford in the news is Mrs. Stanley Berger, new director of women's activities for the Medford YMCA. With the cooperation of other YMCA workers and community leaders, Mrs. Berger plans an expanded women's program which will include special classes aimed at home improvement, self-improvement and recreation for homemakers and women in the business world.
