whom she had been corresponding for the past 13 months.

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.
