Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution, held last Satur day at the home of Mr. R. E. Green, 701 Park street. The re view covered the accomplish ments of the society since its or ganization in November of 1919. Of the seven charter members, five are still residing in Med ford.

A Fprt Lane marker stands near Tolo, one is placed on Pacific Highway north at the Birdseye home, one stands on the Old Military road, and one is placed on the old Methodist church in Jacksonville. In addition there are several temporary markers. To encourage the study of American history, prizes of money were given during the regency of Mrs. B. G. Harding, and continued until 1937 when a plaque was presented to Mc Loughlin Junior High school on which are engraved the names of students excelling in their class. At the opening of Hedrick Junior High school, a similar plaque was presented to that in stitution.

Secretary Minds Others Business; Said Successful Pittsburgh (U.R) Sally Osborn, the National Sec retaries' Association secretary of the year," says she moved to the top of her profession by minding someone else's business. "Ever since I was a child, I wanted to run somebody else's business," she confided. "But right now I'll have to say I'm helping to run a business that is partly mine." Twelve years ago Miss Osborn joined the engineering firm of Richardson, Gordon and Associ ates. Today, she is a junior part ner. "When I first was hired we had only eight people on the office force and I was a general secretary. Now we have about 160 employes and I m a junior partner." she said. To Miss Osborn, secretarial work no longer is a job. It is a profession that embraces that of an administrative assistant. "Being a secretary today is a lot more than merely being able to type and take shorthand. It's a study in human relations. "And working for, an engineer ing firm is just wonderful," she said. "I can look out my office window and see bridges being built. The plans for those bridges were drawn in the office right next to mine." Before the year runs out, the industrious Carnegie Tech grad uate plans to marry.

October 30. 1956 Captain Parsons First Woman in National Guard By GAY PAULEY New York iU.FD Firsts have become second nature to Capt. Norma (Dutch) Parsons, of Waterville, Me. . The attractive, brown-eyed miss of the military set her new est precedent when she was sworn as the first, and so far only, woman member of any National Guard unit m the na tion. Captain Parsons, who is in her late 30's, is chief nurse of the 106th Tactical Hospital, New York Air National Guard, Floyd Bennett Field. Brooklyn. "At first I was real pleased with all this hoopla," she con fessed, in an interview. "But now, I'm a little confused." Congress last summer author ized the Guard a reserve branch of the military service to accept women members as nurses and medical specialists. She was sworn in ceremonies in Washington last week. Captain Parsons was the first woman ever attached to a Guard unit as a non-member. That was in 1954. She also was the first to go on active duty with the Guard when the 106th Bombardment Wing was sent to Korea in 1951. She is one of the few women ever awarded the Air Medal for evacuation flights in a combat zone. No narrow escapes to tell about," she said. "They didn't let us girls that close to the fighting." But she holds three battle stars from her World War II and Korean duties. Norma Parsons, a graduate of the Cary Memorial Hospital Nur sing school, Caribou, Me., began her military career in 1943. Af ter attending flight-medical schools, she served in the Middle East, at bases from North Afri ca to India. She completed her World War II duty in 1946. I joined up because nurses were needed," she said. "But every generation of my family, well, since the American Revo lution, has had at least one mem ber in the service." I am all for a military car eer for a girl," she said. "The social whirl is wonderful . . . the men always outnumber the girls. And the service has given me a chance to travel I'd never have had otherwise. How else could I have seen the Taj Ma hal by moonlight, from the nose of a B25?"
