(Mary Grein er) Kelly, long-time worker in the Democratic party in Jackson county and former chairman of the Democratic central commit tee, was the subject of a tribute printed in the current issue of the Oregon Democrat, unofficial monthly Democratic magazaine. The tribute to Mrs. Kelly was contained in an article describ ing the sixth annual Roosevelt memorial dinner, at which Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt was the speaker. In part, the article entitled "There's Only One Mary Kelly!" said: Banquet Described On April 23rd Eleanor Roose velt came to Medford. She was the guest of Jackson County Democrats for the 6th annual Roosevelt Day banquet. It was a memorable night. It was featured by programming such as the best organized East ern events could not excel. The music was topical. The United Nations flags festooned the big junior high school auditorium The extra events were limit ed, and all moved towardd the climax when "Mrs. R" spoke, On the platform were all the party leaders and major candi dates-. But not on the platform was the person back of it all Mary Greiner Kelly. It was com pletely typical of Mary Kelly, whose vision has carried on the Roosevelt Day dinners through six magnificient events, that even on this night of great tri umph, with Mrs. Roosevelt her self as the guest, Mary was in the wings and the kitchen and on the floor busy with details, without even a place set for her at the head table! To have had Eleanor Roose velt in any Oregon community is a great event. But to have El eanor Roosevelt brought to an Oregon community by a dedi cated manager like Mary Kelly, who knows what to do and sees tha.t it's done, is a forerunner of triumph in November just as the event was a triumph in itself.
