Gold Hill, first in berry canning: Mrs. Earl Croft, Griffin j Creek, first in tree fruits and ; Mrs. Clyde Sturgill. Griffin j Creek first in jelly making. I Mrs. Poe points out that the j contest is only one of the proj I ects which occupy the attention of HEC club members in Jack Ison county. Thirteen of the 13 subordinate Granges of the coun ty have Home Economics clubs, which operate as auxiliaries to the main organization. Assisting Mrs. Poe in her work as chair man are Mrs. Paul Force of Eagle Point and Mrs. Barney Lewin, Medford. The separate women"s clubs give dinners and other benefits to raise funds needed for the Grange halls, and in recent years have contributed to the national muscular dystrophy fund, the Red Cross and other funds of this nature. Members of one or two Home Economics clubs go to Camp White twice a month and do mending for tne veterans, others raise money for CAPlE packages, many have pen pals and others collect old spectacles, frames, otc, which are sent to Eyes for the Needy. Inc. In connection with CARE, members of the HEC have helped to buy sewing machines for the use of women in underprivileged countries. Through such contests as the White Satin Sugar canning con test, they have promoted the use of Oregon products. One of the more recent pro grams taking the attention of HEC members is a safety cam paign sponsored by the gover nor of the state. The state com mittee, of which Mrs. Eva Stone and Mrs. Mabel Mack, formerly of Medford. are members, chose Jackson and Douglas counties for a survey of farm accidents to be reported through extension units and HEC members. Through the information gained, it is believed an effective farm safety program can be formulated. After attending the finals in the White Satin sugar contest, Mrs. Poe then attend annual state conference for women in civil defense work in Oregon. The conference will be held in Salem beginning Friday.

The men deserted their ship Saturday and applied for refuge in the United States. They are awaiting word from Wash ington after sending a cable to President Eisenhower. Feel First Jo Patella BURELSON'S SHOE SALON Main & Bart I eft A tew mornings ago I was having a tough time with this particular cus tomer. She's one of my favorite people because she has such wonderful taste in shoes. About once a month she comes into the store to see what's new, and I've learned to listen to her reactions what she says usually is a Q9od barometer of what a lot of women around town are thinking about shoe. This day, however, she seemed up set. None of the new shoes I put on her foot fit her. I've never sold her anything but size 8 in AA width, but suddenlvall the 8-AAs I tried on were too long, or too wide, or too some thing. She kept, insisting that what she really needed was 7-AA. I couldn't, figure out what was wrong until she said, "You know, the tight skirted, slim fashions look better when your feet look small and trim, too." We talked casually while, and then in what I hoped was a subtle, offhand way I asked, "Ever hear how the Chines got started on binding ihe feet of new-born girl babies so that they would stav small?" She shock her "head, so I to'd her. In jt bout the year 1200, the Chi nese get a new errraress, Taki. Un fortunately, Taki had reen born with dub feet of abnormally small size. When she "was crowned empress, in order to a'Oid embarrassment to her because of her deformed feet, it was decreed .that all ladies of the court must have -feet as small as Her Royal Highness. Immediately,- out of loyalty to their empress, Chinese mothers be gan the custom of tightly binding the feet of infant girl babies to prevent normal growth. Net so subttv, I added that rrtavbe this accounfed for the fetish prevalent among many women to try to squeeze their perfectly normal-sized feet into shoes too small and too tight. I sup pose I wasn't very subtle, and I won dered whether I'd ever see this parti cular woman in my store again. All she did was look me right in the eye, sighed a little and in a clear, happy voice said, "I like that new shoe right there. Do you have it in j my jize 8-AA?" Adv. Monday.

This survey, concluded in 1943, did not in clude mentally retarded. Although many states have for many years, some for as many as forty years, conducted classes for the slow learning, Oregon did not initiate such a plan until the 1953 Legislature when that body, stearing its course from the Holy Report of 1951, appro priated the sum of 515,000 to conduct a study of the education al needs of mentally retarded and gifted children in Oregon, the probable cost of such educa tion, and the cost of training for this type of teaching. Medford city schools have had special classes for some time under the direction of Miss School Announces Visitation Day In Jacksonville Jacksonville A Parent Visi tation day" will be held Wednes day, November 14, in the Jack sonville public schools. During the day parents are invited to visit the classrooms, take part in the classroom pro cedures, and to stay all day to acquaint themselves with ' the children's school play. During these parent visitation days there will not be confer ences between the teachers and the parents. Present plans are to arrange one of these visitation days each month. A PTA panel discussion will be held on "Community Eack ing and Spirit." Panel members will include Leland I. - Harter, Mrs. Otto Heckert, E. O. Gra ham and John J. Crabb. Included in the discussion will be such question as "what is the relation of the school and com munity in developing school spirit?" "community spirit school spirit, are they the same? Different? How?" and "what community activities help build school spirit? What should it be based on?" find out on us Louise Basford. Not until 1953, did the county embark upon a program . of education for the children who were unable to keep up the pace of the regular classroom but who were educa ble. Two classes are in operation on a county-wide basis at Talent taught by Karl Hayes and Mrs. Kay Baalman. Ashland has a spe cial education department direct ed by Mrs. Frances Klein. Classes for the slow learning are held to about half the size of the regular classes and the curriculum is built around their every day experiences and en vironment. The basic subjects of reading, writing, arithmetic and social studies are not neglected, nor is it a watered down course from the regular course. Rather is is built from the understand ings of the children themselves of what goes around in their own world. Arts and crafts is an important part of the program as well as the appreciation of music through listening and singing. The purpose is to develop the children's potential ability to the best possible level and to pre pare the way by visitation, con ferences and discussion for get ting a job on leaving school. The goal of securing for these chil dren a sense of worthiness, of ability to take their places as citizens among the people of their community as their peers, is of first importance in their curriculum. To Meet Alpha Lambda chapter Epsi lon Sigma Alpha sorority, will meet tonight at 8 o'clock at the home of Mrs. William Raymond, 728 Beekman avenue. Members are asked to bring their Betty Crocker coupons to this meeting. OREGON HOUSEWIVES ONLY1 How lucky you areJ For you have something few other States have soft water.
