Medford League
To Hold Luncheon
At Day Estates
The membersip committee of
Medford League of Women
Voters will complete plans for
its annual membership lunch
eon at a meeting in the home
of the committee chairman, Mrs.
Hugh Collins, 40 Glen Oak
court, Monday, July 9.
The luncheon will be held at
John Day's Table Rock Estates
on the Rogue riyer, Monday,
July 16, at 12 ntton. Members
and guests are . iijvited to par
ticipate in swimming and cards
after lunch.
The telephone committee will
contact League members. Non-
members are invited to call Mrs.
Collins, 2-9997, or Mrs. Homer
Marx, social chairman, 2-6845,
for more information, to make
reservations, and to arrange for
transportation if desired.
The public is cordially invited
to take this opportunity to be
come acquainted with the Med
ford league. This is the only
activity of the league that is
strictly social.
The program for the coming
year will consist of voters' ser
vice activity including a con
didates fair in October, a local
study on conservation of water
and watersheds which will help
to formulate a national league
stand on water policy, discus
sions of individual liberty legis
lation, a study of county govern
ment with regard to necessary
revision of the state constitu
tion and a more intensive study
and survey of local problems
and needs of this latter category
as a local item.
These studies are carried on
by committees, and discussed in
the monthly unit meetings. Find
ings of these discussions are
turned into the national and
state leagues by these commit
tees. As a result of these find
ings, the league as a whole is
able to take a stand on legisla
tion pending before a law mak
ing body, providing that there
is a majority opinion to war
rant such a stand.
As an example, after a two
year study of international
trade, a further two year study
by way of a national trade sur
vey was made. Meant primarily
to arouse the public to the im
portance of considering the ef
fect of such trade, the recent
compilation' of this survey has
been used in congress to help
formulate legislation regarding
foriegn trade. '
