Main Phono 3-5182 Home Extension Units Hold Annual Festival Yesterday Scores of home extension unit members from all parts of Jack son county gathered in Central Point yesterday for the annual spring festival. This is tradition ally a time when the past year is reviewed and the unit mem bers examine exhibits of one another's work, present humor ous ' skits and hear speakers. Election was also held and three new members of the county ex tension committee were named. They are Mrs. Rollin Jones, Oak Grove unit;" Mrs. Dora Krouse, Applegate unit and Mrs. Chester Wilson, Rogue-Elk unit. Speaker for the morning ses sion was Mrs. Mabel Mack, as sistant director of the Oregon Extension service who for 11 years was extension agent for Jackson county. Mrs. Mack keyed her talk to the festival theme which was "Spizzerinc- tum," or "Up with the Sun." Mrs. Mack defined "spizzerinc- tum" as super-energy and super- force which leads to super-activi ty and said to acquire this super energy, persons must be well fed and in good health. She pointed out that the extension program, which seeks to improve home, family and community living, also seeks to improve the health of its members. The speaker talked of the role leaders play in the units and said the extension program for years has had the developing of leadership as one of its goals. She pointed out that much more can .be accomplished in many fields through group activity than can be accomplished by in dividual effort and quoted sur veys and statistics to show how group activity improves pro duction and efficiency, whether in a factory, a home or commun ity projects. Some of the group projects of the units have been lessons in clothing, in making home fur nishings or decorative objects, and in weight control, she re called. The festival held in Jackson county is only one of several held in the state, Mrs. Mack said, and pointed out that they are held each year during Na tional Home Demonstration week. For the afternoon program Mrs. Azalea Sager spoke of a recent tour which she and her husband made through South America, and Mr. Sager showed colored slides. Also on the after noon program was Miss Mar- jorie Hattan, county extension agent for 4-H club work. Her topic was "Today's Home Builds Tomorrow's World," which is the national theme for Home Demonstration week, and she stressed the importance of hav ing ideals and following . them. Miss Hattan stated that ideals are like stars for navigators, since they show the way to a destination. Entertainment was provided by the Eagle Point Mothersing ers.

Mothersingers Close Season Concert Sunday Mothersingers of the Medford Council of Parent-Teacher asso ciations climaxed six months of rehearsals and appearances with a concert in Hedrick Junior High school cafetorium last Sunday afternoon. The concert was well attended and well received. Mrs. LeRoy Jansen is director. This group is the result of a state-wide project started some 10 years ago by the Oregon Con gress of Parents and Teachers. It was organized last November as one unit of the state move ment to promote "better unity between home, school and com munity by providing a broader range of activities for the talents and abilities of its members in general" according to a council statement. Sunday's program was planned to please various tastes, with numbers ranging from opera to currently popular songs. Soloists were Mrs. Stanley Lacey, Mrs. T. E. Popham and Mrs. Darrell Huson. , Mrs. H. Chandler Drew is accompanist for the chorus. Since the season just closed is considered a satisfying one by the chorus and its sponsors, in all probability those who enjoy this type, of musical endeavor can look forward to an ex panded program and activity next season. - : When using small eggs in cooking, . better measure by ta blespoon for - accuracy.
