"We've set up tables in every available spot but the rest room
and kitchen," declared one of the committee women for the Easter
Monday luncheon as guests began to pour into the Country club
for this popular annual event. 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.
Wp'vp been nrnmisinp in srn in a PhiH-isrmnni. nrpliocti.!,
nearsai ior some ume now, ana iinany arranged it Wednesday
night. 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. O.S.
