She was almost right, too. Somehow or the other the committee and the club staff squeezed 74 tables into the main dining room, the room which formerly was the lounge, and the cocktail lounge. There were even a couple of tables j set up in the hall outside the ladies' room. However, women earning money for a church are never quite satisfied. "We could have put in just one more table somewhere," j declared Mrs. Paul Haviland later. "Then we would have had an j even 75." As usual, both members and guests of the sponsoring group, St. Anne's Altar society, had a wonderful time over luncheon and cards and looking around to see who wore what. Mrs. James C. Miller Jr., president of tho society, said she decided against the ensemble which she really bought for Easter, since it was a cold day, and instead wore a sheer black frock with a small white hat. Mrs. W. F. Cowning, who had taken reservations for the party, looked smart in a navy blue dress with white polka dots, and Mrs. Oscar Halboth also wore navy blue and white. Mrs. Laurance Espey had on a beige and pale brown dress with one of the new lim coats to match, and Mrs Haviland wore a print suit. Mrs. William Warner looked handsome in a silk suit of grey- blue with pink hat and pearl necklace. Mrs Tony Manno wore a navy blue with chartreuse hat, and Mrs. R. A. Naumes wore a pretty cotton "south of the border" print. It had been six or eight years since the two of us had seen Crater lake in the winter-time, so we "jeered"' up and back Sun day. Struggling through the deep snow to reach a spot where we could feast our eyes on the snow-laden evergreen trees and the gorgeous blue of the lake, it was hard to remember that it was Easter Sunday and that flowers were in bloom down in the valley. As we vatched the changing cloud patterns on the surface of the lake, a family of four joined us. Since we were none too warm, in spite of boots, heavy wool socks and slacks, we noticed with surprise that the woman wore a light coat and low shoes, and that both of the small children wore light slippers. When we ventured to ask why the visitors had not been better prepared for the trip the mother explained "We're 3,000 miles from home and we'll probably never have this opportunity again, so we decided to drive up here, even though we don't have any proper clothing." The four were from Maryland, and the father explained that he was combining "business and pleasure" with a trip west. He took movies while his wife herded the small fry back to the warmth of the car. During the trip we saw for the first time the big Oregon grey jays which are fo be found in the park, even though everything j? covered with many feet of snow. The park ranger at Annie Spring junction explained that they were very tame and it proved so when he held out one hand filled with crumbs, in no time at all 8 or 10 gathered around to eat from his fingers. How they find food is a mystery, but all in the flock seemed lively. The different shades of grey feathers make the jays a pretty sight, and their breast feathers were so long and fluffy they looked more like fur. It's a glowing future for Mrs. Homemaker, according to Jay Doblin, director of the Illinois Institute of Technology's design department. Mr. Doblin recently told a women's club that the home of tomorrow will have a kitchen where cooking will be strictly a hobby, and bedrooms will have beds which never have to be made. "Soon we will have compact radio-frequency cooking units in our homes," the director said and his "bed of tomorrow" will have a radio-frequency heating unit which will encircle the sleeper and keep him comfortably warm no matter what the outside tem perature is.

Luckily we arrived in time to hear Sylvia DeVoss, who will be featured as soprano soloist with the orchestra in the coming concert next faunday, rehearse her numbers. Mrs. DeVoss is a newcomer to the valley, and we venture to predict that the audi ence will be well pleased with her. An experienced singer, Mrs. DeVoss has a voice of both sweetness and strength, and the num bers She has selected for Sunday are particularly beautiful. All that stuff we carry around in our handbag sometimes comes in handy. Thursday night before the annual dinner meeting of Southern Oregon Child Guidance association, we used our little manicure scissors to cut some white thread off the sleeve of Dr. Erin Merkel's new tweed jacket. The good doctor, in a hurry to be on time for the dinner, forgot that the big cardboard tag was still stitched to the 'sleeve. Em barrassed, he jerked the tag off, but the coarse thread resisted. "Anybody carrying scissors?" he asked jokingly. We surprised him and produced a pair. Dr. Merkel introduced the speaker, Dr. Henry Schumacher of the United States Public Health Service in San Francisco, who put in a good word for parents for a change. Speaking about the instability of the family and the causes of juvenile delinquency, the speaker said "the biggest mistake we make is to blame the parents. We just overlook, the fact that the parents are products of society, the same as the children." Parents, he said strongly, are often just as confused and con cerned as the children. Dr. Schumacher also thinks Americans have gotten too much in the habit of thinking everyone should be just like everyone else, and of paying too much attention to such things as good grades- in high school. He hinted that we're a nation of spendthrifts, said the United States "is horribly in debt" and pointed out that it's no wonder youngsters steal cars in a community where it's considered prac tically a disgrace not to own an automobile.
