TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Evans Valley Club To Plant Shrubs AtSchool Grounds Rogue River Evan Valley Garden Club conducted life monthly meeting August 22 at the secluded home of Mrs. Har ry Winters, located in a natural setting off Pleasant Creek road. j Dessert was served. Mrs. Jerusha Moore and Mrs. William White of Laurel Gar den club were guests. Roll call was answered by each member naming the house plant that she would like to include in her col lection. Discussions were heard on house plants and an exchange of rooted cuttings and plants was held. The club discussed the contin uance of the project of beauti fying the Evans Valley school grounds. Plans have been drawn for the planting of shrubs on the bank immediately in front of that area already landscaped by the club and which is being cared for by the school custodians. In connection with this beautifying project, garden club members are planning to have a table arfd benches built and to make into a picnic area that part of the school grounds located in the northeast corner of the prop erty. Because of the limited time of the school custodians to keep the planted areas weeded and watered, certain shrubs and trees have been recommended and which will not require too much attention but will prove decora tive. Anyone wishing to donate any money for this project may do so. A plaque could be placed r.ear trees or shrubs if given as memorials, it was suggested. Any interested party may contact the president, Mrs. John Goldt of West Evans Creek road. The next meeting will be held September 19 at the home of Mrs. George M. Crawford at Bybee Springs, on East Evans Creek road. Slides will be shown of the famous Butchart Gardens of Canada. Mrs. Tom Muchline will be the narrator.

She is a fast, efficient worker, but she is very noisy and bois terous in the office (not outside of it). She keeps talking to ev eryone, including me, and dis tracts us from our work. Every one comes to me and complains "Your friend did so and so . . ." Even the boss associates her with me and keeps referring to her as "my friend." I've told Joan that she's got to tone down because I've been in this office for years and I don't want to be responsible for any misbehavior on her part. But she just takes offense and says she'll get another job. 1 don't want to push her out of the office I just want to stop her from spoil ing my reputation there. Joan M. I think Terry really thinks I'm stealing her thunder in the office. I can't help it if I'm a fast worker. I'm also very friendly and not noisy and bois terous as Terry says. The boss is well satisfied with me and peo ple don't really complain about me. It's just that Terry resents it every time anyone says "your friend." I like the office, but I can get another job if it's going to break up our friendship.' " The Council: These two girls Society Easy Pickup Work TV'".'

Some times friends can work together well, but in this case these two girls are almost in a family re lationship and the pride and jealousy that might take place in a family group has been trans ferred to the office. Terry looks at her office as a kind of family where she -has a special and cherished position. This may help to make her a competent worker there, but it also has the drawback of creat ing a too-personal atmosphere. She fails to see the objective facts that people do not really hold her responsible for Joan's behavior and that Joan could not possibly last in the job if the boss were not satisfied with her. Terry is now in the uncom fortable position of a big sister who feels that her little sister is stealing the limelight. The fact that she has created this situa tion in her own mind does not prevent it from hurting her work or her friendshipx with Joan. This is one of those situations that can't be "talked out" or reasoned out very well. Since there is little likelihood of Joan's having to go jobless, she should not consider remaining in this unhealthy situation. The girls should try to part job-wise on good terms because Terry would not willingly be the instrument of pushing Joan out of the office, and showed her good will by getting her friend the job in the first place.

Thursday, August 30. 19S8 Feminine Illusion Almost All Gone Says Designer By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Correspondent London (U.R) The modern male looks brazenly into the windows of lingerie shops. He reads the advertisements in women's magazines, too. So Joy Ricardo, a young de signer, suggests that the time has come to save the last vestiges of feminine illusion. She wants the keenest minds of the fashion industry to scheme a wav of keeping female figure secrets away from the mass of the male population, before it is too late. '"There are still a lot of men who haven't gotten interested in the subject," said Miss Ri cardo who served her apprentice ship in the Hollywood studios. "But every day their number is decreasing. When it comes to fashion, ignorance is bliss for the male and I want to keep the men happy." Miss Ricardo cites the case of the topless evening gowns. "As long as men did not know how they were held up and, I suppose, subconsciously assessed the chances of an accident, these were very popular. Now every man knows they are wired se curely if he can't actually see the wiring cut into the flesh. "I think the style was doomed the moment men began to specu late on the engineering involved in keeping the top firmly in place." Miss Ricardo says it appalls her to discover how many men she meets who knows all about devices for making hips look small or busts look big. "A girl spends time and money dressing herself expensively and well," she said. "Then she meets her beau. He says she looks lovely. But he is thinking 'all that draping around the hips is designed to hide the fact she is too broad where she shouldn't be too broad.' "This man and his horde of smirking know-all friends defeat the purpose of the designer. They know that shirring and draping around the bosom are designed to make it appear to be more than it is, that panniers help hide hippiness, that adding around the waist makes the hips look narrower, that puff sleeves are good for thin shoulders and so on." Miss Ricardo said she did not want to be more specific since her story might be read by those who still believe there is no more to a pretty girl than meets the eyes. "We could start by making advertisements more general leaving the special descriptions to be given by the salesladies tete-a-tete," said Miss Ricardo. "And lingerie shops could co operate by keeping the more clinical under-garments out of sight. "But this is bigger than both of us. It's a problem for the whole industry."

Stillwater, Okla.fU.R) It all started as a hobby some 30 years ago, and Clay Potts, unofficial "barbecue king", of the South west, maintains it's still a hobby even though he has cooked up enough barbecue for more than 500,000 persons since 1946. Last year was his busiest. He dipped bp tasty barbecue, with all the trimmings, for 154 par ties, and turned down several other invitations. The success of a barbecue, whether large or small depends upon the attitude of the people who are doing the serving, the barbecue king said. "Courtesy should be the key note," Potts said. "Serve your guests hot food and they'll always come back for seconds." Potts is inclined to pick men as the best outdoor cooks. "Men like quality and quan tity, whereas women tend to be a little sparing. Find a good man who likes to barbecue and you have the best." Potts, director of food pro duction at Oklahoma A. & M. College here, insists that his bar becuing is strictly amateur. But oOMTO'gcHooi Basic Beauty TO 9128 Fashion "must" for a fall sep arates wardrobe!

His crew knows that when Potts fires up the two pits, they may have as many as 5,000 persons in for lunch. A typical Potts barbecue con sists of chunks of juicy beef on thick buns with onions, pickles and cole slaw. For dessert, oat meal cookies. Potts joined the A. cfc M. agronomy department in 1922 and it was 20 years before he switched to the food division. In 1942 he was responsible for overseeing the diets of several thousand soldiers who were in training at the school's technical business training center. In addition to heading the food production department on the 8,000 plus student campus, he has been director of A. & M.'s short course center since 1930. And, he has been in charge of the press 'box lunch counter since it was opened in 1947. Although the main dish is bar- becused beef, Potts and his team turn out chicken, fish and steaks for special occasions. 230 East Main, Medford 24" 32" ' ' Family Reunion Held by Darbys A reunion of the Darby family, valley residents since 1902, was held Sunday afternoon in the picnic area of Ashland's Lithia park. ...

U.R) Mrs. Ella Hamen, who has just com pleted her 150th quilt, says, "I would rather be quilting than sitting idle, so I quilt." Mrs. Hamen; who is 76, spends from six to eight hours daily quilting for other people. She started her profitable hobby through a farm paper ad 15 years ago. Some of her outstanding work includes a quilt designed similar to a map of the United States with each state embroidered on it. And included is each state's flower or representative animal.

If sweet lflNlT If I - w THI NEW TANGALIZED SQUIRT IS A SPARKLING COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY of MEDFORD, Medford, Empire Silhouette Said Unbecoming For Many' Women New York (U.R) Designer Claire McCardell, an exponent of the empire silhouette, is tie first" to admit it is not becoming to every woman. Miss McCardell features the high-waisted, loose-fitting empire in many designs, both for day time and evening. But she says any ' way you drape it, the empire looks its best on the woman who has a small rib cage. Miss McCardell, who has been making the empire for 10 years, advises the woman who's ex tremely tall to stay away from this silhouette. It only exagger ates height. "And it's not for the stout," she said. "But then, what does look good on a stout woman?" - But, she said in an interview, the empire is one of the most flattering silhouettes the, slim woman can wear. It makes her took taller, her legs longer. She believes more dressmakers by fall will have revived the. em pire. "It's the happy and comforta ble medium between the sheath and those full-skirted, tight waisted dresses," she said.
