TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Englishwoman Visits Here With "World Tape" Family A friendship fostered by way of tape recorder correspondence culminated in the visit to Jackson county in September of Mis Margery Elliott of Birmingham, England. Miss Elliott was the euest of Mr. and Mrs. B. Sam Tavlor, Route two. Medford, with whom she had been corresponding for the past 13 months. Miss Monday. October MMSIQ Society Session; Pictures Listed Elliott, a music teacher in Birmingham, spent about 10 days with the Taylors and in that time they managed to show her part of Ore gon and to share their visitor s time with many of their local friends. The visit or arrived September 8 by United Airlines and the next day, Sunday, the three visited Crater Lake National park. Here, and in other parts of the county and state, Miss Elliott took many colored pictures en route to see the University of Oregon and Oregon State col lege, and in Portland they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Holmes, formerly of Prospect. Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Taylor and Miss Elliott visited the Crown Zellerbach plant at Camas. The traveler left from Port land by plane for Kansas City where she was to meet friends. The Taylors and Miss Elliott both belong to an organization During her first week here j known as World Tape Pals and the Taylors and their guest spent it was through this group that two days observing woods oper ations ol the Elk Lumber com pany and the Medford corpora tion, and spent various evenings in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Alford Cooper, Shady Cove, Mr. and Mrs. John Gartman, Pros pect, Mr. and Mrs. George Flan again, Medford, and Mr. and Mrs. Riley Cook, Medford. That week end the three trav eled to the coast where they tourpd the Redwoods and visited the Sea Lion cave. They then turned inward and traveled over the McKenzie highway to view the Lava beds and continued into Central Oregon where they traveled a mountain road into the region of the Three Sisters mountains. Returning to Jackson county Sunday evening, they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Nork in Shady Cove. The first of the second week Miss Elliott again visited schools, particularly to observe the teach ing of choral work here, and was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Chaffee, Berkeley, Calif. Mr. Chaffee is president of Elk Lum ber company, and the couple spends the summer weeks . in Prospect. Later Miss Elliott and her hosts went to Portland, stopping the Taylors obtained Miss El liott's address and began the cor respondence by tape recording. Miss Elliott, a trained chemist and daughter of a man who manufactures plastics and lenses, later took up the teaching of music. The Taylors now correspond with about 15 families in coun tries as widely separated as Japan, New Zealand and Swe den. Included is a blind couple in England, and it is pointed out that this type of communication is a boon to the blind. The recording machines are becoming standardized, so the tapes can be used on those of any country, and the tapes can be "erased" and used again. Mr. Taylor, woods manager for Elk Lumber company, believes that as the advantages of this type of correspondence become evi dent to more persons, many will adopt it not only as an interest ing hobby but as a means of promoting world wide friend ships and good will. 4 Even with the general in crease in the cost of most com modities, milk is still one of the cheapest of the standard foods in our family diet.
