PIN -IN OUR Big, NEW Modern Store (Next Door To Our Former O Watch For Our Grand STORE HOURS: 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 Nine Spectacula Part of Easter Su By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.P.) Part of New will be an indoor affair this York's famous Easter parade year. Next Sunday, at least nine style "spectaculars" in various hotels will compete with the tra ditional toe -bruising show on Fifth Avenue. Fveryone attending the new style shows, with lunch includ ed, is helping a cause from the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to. Animals to the Sister Elizabeth Kenny Founda tion. Admission ranges from S5 to S25 per person champagne is included in the latter charge. The benefit shows aren't new, but each year their numbers in crease as each year the Fifth Avenue association and the New York Police Department attempt to curb the hi-jinks on the ave nue. This year, for instance, is the seventh for the Kenny lunch and children's fashion show. Expect 2 Million Paraderi The association said it expect ed about two million persons to jam the avenue ... a contrast to the few hundred strollers who turned out when the parade had its beginnings at the lower end of Manhattan Island more than a century ago. As the city grew, the churches and fashionable residences mov ed uptown. Some sources say fhat by the 1870's the parade was pretty well established, but it wasn't "until the 1880's that the newspapers began to give it much space. The Easter parade had its un usual attractions early in its history. One account of the pa rade in the 1920's told of a party of "cigarette smoking girls' Sorority Conducts Memorial Service A memorial service for Mrs. Marjorie Butler was read at a meeting of Delta Kappa Gam ma, sorority for women in edu cation, held April 6 in Grants Pass. It was a breakfast session at the Grants Pass Junior High school cafeteria 'with Epsilon chapter, Medford, O m" i c r o n chapter, Roseburg and Alpha chapter, Klamath Falls, as guests of Omega chapter, Grants Pass. The memorial service was read by Mrs. Ivah Dobbs Mur ray of Medford. During the busi ness meetings which followed the breakfast. Epsilon chapter voted a contribution to a schol arship fund which has been established in Mrs. Butler's memory. Miss Princess Egbert of Grants Pass was in charge of the pro gram for the breakfast, and Founders' day was observed. Delta Kappa Gamma was or ganized in 1929, and candles were lighted in honor of the 12 women founders. An original devotional selec tion written by Miss Egbert was given by Mrs. Alyce Young, Mrs. Helen Bell, Miss Fern Trull and Miss Mildred Mateer. Table decorations in the Eas ter motif were the work of Mrs. Esther Fox of the Grants Pass Junior High school art depart ment. Mrs. Melvin Lattie Hostess for HEC Phoenix Home Economics club of Phoenix Grange will meet Wednesday, April 17, at the home of Mrs. Melvin Lattie, Phoenix road. A covered dish luncheon -will be served at 12:30 p.m. Mrs. Lattie will be assisted by Mrs. George Drake and Mrs. Alfred Schroeder. TODAY th amid Cerotral Mondiy, April 15. 1957 r Style Shows nday Parade who strolled past St. Thomas and St. Patrick's cathedral "puff ing with assurance and invoking the sensation for which they had hoped." Anti-Depression Colors Worn The-parade survived the Wall Street crash, and a United Press dispatch on the 1931 event be gan this way: "Trying to forget the winter's dark days of bread lines and bad business, the women in to day's Fifth Avenue Easter parade wore anti-depressipn col-ors-vivid, geranium reds, emer ald greens and blue jades." As the parade grew, commer cialism and publicity stunts crept in. Women tried to outdo each other in zany hats, and it wasn't unusual to see a woman wearing a bird cage with a live bird in it, or an Easter basket with live bunny. Four years ago, New York's civic-conscious decided the pa rade was losing its dignity com pletely and something should be done. The association, the Police Department, the clergy and ra dio and television executives joined to curb the stunts and commercialism. Has the parade lost any of its appeal as a result? "We doubt it,", said William Sloane, as'sociation secretary. "The hi-jinks of a few years ago prevented the true purpose of the parade to be a prome nade of fashions." May Fellowship Luncheon Planned By Church Women Among events scheduled for the near future is the annual May Fellowship luncheon spon sored by Medford Council of Church Women, Friday, May 3, in St. Mark's Guild hall. Lunch eon will be served at 12:30 o'clock. . , Mrs. Mabel Winston, dean of women and registrar at South ern Oregon college, will speak following the luncheon.

Special musical features are being arranged for the after noon and Miss Vernal Cingcade, teacher of the Bible in the schools, will speak briefly.

Location) Opening p.m. MEDFORDvlS&TRIBUNE M ommi Basic School Fund Measure Now in Education Committee By FRANCES LITTRELL Salem The legislature has been 12 weeks in session; 28 bills were passed and sent to Gov ernor Holmes in this, the 12th week. The Senuate passed Senate Joint Resolution 9 for the addi tion of one member to the Sen ate and one to the House, mak ing 31 members in the Senate and 61 in the House; however, it's expected to die in the House because of the Democratic ma jority in the House, and the Dem ocrats are against it. They want a lieutenant governor which they feel will do the same thing. The Republicans don't think so. The tax program was not pre sented as promised last "week. However, it is now promised within a week to ten days, and so it goes. The Republicans in the House made another valiant effort to get a separate surtax repeal bill acted on and tried to force it out of the committee ond on to the floor. It was not a success they could muster only 21 votes and it required 40. We lost one Republican's vote and gained a Democrat's vote. The calendars for the last three days of this week have been light, in fact we have had just four third readings for each day. The Senate passed the Key District bill to re-distribute the basic school funds. It is now in the House education committee. There will be a public hearing held, and it will be the big is sue before the House this week. The Littrells received one of the most coveted of invitations this last week, for Kosher lun cheon at Rep. Sam Wilderman's apartment. We were included with members of the press from the Statesman.

Answers to many of the most commonly asked questions about etiquette are covered in books at the Medford library. - Thursday night of last week the largest and perhaps the gay est party of the session, the "Timber Bust" party, was held at the American Legion club. A group of legislative wives, with the assistance of the Forest Service, spent Thursday A. M. transforming the club into a pretend forest. We used several truck loads of fir, cedar, ferns and other greens while doing it. Guests came dressed in jeans, plaid shirts, and cottons. Any man who wore a tie had it promptly cut off at the dooi- and each and every guest was sprayed with insecticide upon arriving at the party. ' . This party had some criticism; however, when you are here, you realize it is a good thing. It always comes at the time of the session when political lines are definitely drawn. Tempers are strained to the breaking point and then the Timber Bust party. We all work togeth er and for it, and we forget for the time being whether we are Republican or Democrat and we all have fun together and so it clears the air. Tony Lausman was missed this year; however, his son, Jer ry, was here and the legislators were pleased to meet the son of the Timber Bust party's most ardent supporter. This Monday eve there will be a public hearing on HB 616; we refer to it as the "Big Bertha." .
