A bequest estimated at S300.000 will be used by the American Associa tion of University Women to establish a number of new grad uate fellowships for women, it was announced today by the Association fellowship endow ment trustees. The new fellow ships will range from S3, 000 to S3.500, according to the AAUW fellowship awards committee. The bequest is part of a $4,500 estate left by Miss Shirley Farr of Brandon, a long-time member of the association. It is the larg est single gift to the fellowship endowment fund, which now totals Sl,372,645, the fellowship trustees announced. The market value of the fund, they said, is now over Sl.800.000. Miss Farr, who died at her Vermont home last August at the age of 74, played a promin ent part in AAUW affairs in the twenties and thirties. She served on a number of national commit tees and was active in the estab lishment of the association's present Headquarters at 1634 Eye street, N.W. in Washington, D.C. Her interest in the AAUW program of furthering research and study by women scholars was also evidenced by her gen erous support of the Mary E. Woolley fellowship of the North New England unit of the asso ciation. In the past twenty-five years, nearly two million dollars has been awarded in fellowships and international grants by the AAUW. These funds have come from income on the endowment fund as well as from yearly con tributions by the members. The AAUW fellowship pro gram has been in operation since Speaker Named For Rose Society Mrs. Kenneth C. Farley will be featured speaker for a meet ing of Medfore Rose society to be held Monday, March 26, at 7:30 p.m. in the county court house auditorium. Mrs. Farley will speak on care and preparation of roses for the growing season ahead. Various committee reports will be given by chairmen in cluding, a report on advance planning for the second annual rose show which will be held June 2 in the senior high school cafeteria. Those planning to en ter roses for exhibit in this show should have their roses pruned now if they haven't already done so, it is stated.

M7mr 1890, when the funds for the first award of S500 were gath ered by a handful of women. Since them about 1100 women have benefited from the associa tion's fellowship and interna tional grant program. Approxi mately half of the awards have been given to American scholars and the remainder to woimi from other countries. Currently about 30 Ameri man women scholars are aided each year by the AAUW through its national fellowships. The association also supports nine international fellowships each year, awarded to members of the International Federation of University Women with the proviso that the recipient study in a country other than her own. In addition the AAUW brings about 40 women from other countries to the United States each year for study and research under its international grant program.

Banjo Returning To Favor Again Turn your ear to musical America today and you'll hear a happy sound that dimmed to nearly nothing for some 25 years the cheerful plunkety-plunk of the banjo. This long-necked in strument with a tombourine-like body seems to be recapturing its place in the hearts of Ameri cans. Proof that the banjo is back to stay can be found in the in creasing number of amateur groups springing up around the country, says the American Muic Conference. The five-string banjo, once, called the American banjo, is na tive to this country. Most auth orities agree that the distinctive instrument was brought from Africa to . America by Negroes, who probably first picked up the idea ' from the Arabians. The name "banjo"jis probably derived from "bandore" or "pondura," an old musical stringed instru ment resembling the lute or guitar, and is, of course, a mem ber of the guitar family. Banjos made their first big impression on the American scene in the last part of the 19th century when minstrel shows toured the country. From min strel time to ragtime and jazz was only a short hop and skip for the banjo. In, the 1920's the instrument began keeping com pany with trumpets, clarinets, trombones and pianos. Today's boom in banjos is tak ing several directions and the banjo manufacturers say that their sales have doubled in the last six months. College boys have taken to banjo playing and the instrument is currently be ing used in television commer cials and in recordings of hit tunes. All in all, it seems that the banjo has come back with a re sounding plinkety-plunk. CORNET GAL Russell, Kan. (U.R) Judy Mills, a high school senior whose music career began with a teacher's advice to steer clear of the cornet, will play that in strument in an all-America band. She is one of two Kansans select ed to play -at the golden anniver sary conference of music educa tors at St. Louis, Mo., in April. i A pound of oranges will make a cup of juice on the average. fxppf BEWARE OF IMITATIONS LOOK FOR THE HAPPY LITTLE DOG TOPS IN QUALITY!
