She's cute as a but ton. Barbara B; I am a young married woman, very much con cerned about my older brother. He is 33 and ha' never been married. Recently he became en gaged to a girl of 18, with whom he is very much in love. This girl is exceptionally pret ty, but I think she is not ready to settle down. She has already changed the wedding date three times. She has long arguments with my brother about such triv ial matters as what kind of car they ought to get. She talks childishly about what names she'll give her children and how she'll dress them. Meantime she does nothing about the wed ding. I don't think that Frank can possibly be happy with such a girl, even if she should finally marry him and I'm beginning to have my doubts about whether she ever will. Frank M. I don't have to worry . about my girl, Freda. She'll do what Mamma tells her and Mamma is all on my side. It's true that Freda is a little young and flighty now, but what can you expect of a girl of 18? I think she's pretty cute the way she talks about what to name her children and all that sort of thing. Altogether, she's cute as a button and I'm a lucky man to EAST EVANS CREEK-MEADOWS Surprise Shower Given By NELLIE BERGMAN East Evans Creek-Meadows A surprise shower was given in honor of Mrs. Truman Bishop at the home of Mrs. Vince Hunt recently.

The American Sunday school union, Medford field, held the annual Bibleletics contest Sun day, May 19, at the Forest Acres Community church. Competing team in the con test were Foots creek, Griffin creek, Table Rock and Meadows. The Meadows group won the Sold cup in the contest. Con testants were Mrs. Wilma Hunt, adult. Miss Susan McAllister, primary, and Miss Carolyn Mat tison, junior. The Rev. Allen Hill is the missionary for the Medford field. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mattison and Carolyn, spent Mother's day at the home of their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Peffly at the Star Ranger sta tion on the Applegate. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Archer and daughters, Ellen and Donna, of Loleta, Calif., visited the weekend with their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Loyd Beers. Mr. and Mrs. Emery Sting ley, of the Meadows, attended the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. Stingley's sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Mercer, of Crescent City, Calif.,, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Mercer of Gold Hill, Sunday afternoon.

Sano-Sorb absorbs grease, moisture and odors. Keep your home SAFE . . . avoid accidents ... Use Sano-Sorb. get her. I was a little peeved at the changes in the wedding date, but there were many good reasons for it. Freda is just getting out of high school and she needs some time to get things ready. Her mother tells me Freda is really very impatient to get mar ried and will be glad to be set tled with a mature man who can provide her with a good home. She doesn't think the age differ ence will matter much. The Council: The age "differ ence" won't matter much in this ca'se because Freda isn't the only one who is "young and flighty." Frank is at least as young as Freda mentally and emotionally. "Mamma is. On my side," de clares Frank "jubilantly. That sure clinches the matter, when Freda decides that marriage isn't quite as much fun as she thought it would be, he can just go off to Mamma and straighten things out. Only Mamma, who is probably as giddy as Freda, may not be on his side at that time. Freda's conversation appears to be her childish way of trying to talk herself into the marriage Mamma is forcing down her throat. If Frank thinks this is "cute," he is welcome to it, but if he has an ounce of the sense of self-preservation in him, he'll run. It'll be tough, tough, to get away from Mamma.

Plans for Summer School Made al OSC Corvallis Plans for annual summer session, June 17 to Aug. 9, have been announced by Ore gon State college "with special workshops and schedules plan ned for students and with added emphasis placed on the summer study for high school graduates. Most of the OSC schools will offer regular eight-week work but some will operate on special schedules for the convenienc of summer students. The school-of home economics will offer six week courses and trade and in dustrial education work will be divided into two separate four- week programs. The possibility for some high school graduates to use the sum' mer session as a "testing or proving ground" for their in- teret and capacity for college has been suggested by Dr. F. R. Zeran, dean of education and summer school director. Selective admission require ments adopted by Oregon col leges put new emphasis on sum mer school work, he points out. Students who fail'to qualify for admission on the basis of stand ing in their high school class can qualify for college entrance through .satisfactory summer school performance.
