Magazine
s Tribute
To Woman
Mrs. Edward C. (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.
