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. Guests Attend
Among guests attending the
festival were County Judge Rod
ney Keating, Commissioners
Chester Wendt and L. G. Morth
land and their wives, County
Agent, W. B. Tucker and Miss
Rizpah, Josephine county exten
sion agent.
The invocation was given by
the Rev. James Krieder of Pil
grim Holiness church, Medford,
and group singing was led by
Mrs. James Edge, with Mrs. Rob
ert Rosenbaum as pianist. Mrs.
Arnold Gosnell led the flag
salute. Mrs. Ira T. Burns, re
tiring chairman of the county
committee, served as mistress of
ceremonies and introduced pro
gram numbers.
Skits were &iven by the How
ard, Rogue-Elk, Willow Springs,
Evans Valley and Ashland units.
During the morning session
music was provided by Crater
High school mixed chorus, di
rected by Norman Carothers.
Luncheon was served at noon
in the basement of the Grange
hall and during the two-hour
noon intermission unit members
and guests viewed the unit ex
hibits set up in the American
Legion hall across the street.
In order that more persons
might become acquainted with

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. - :
