Debbie REYNOLDS BETTE DAVIS 'v. " f .-, Appliance dealers can sometimes make good buys from their factories at the end of a model year. A few days ago our distributor phoned to tell us that the General Electric factory had just notified him that they had a few thousand 1957 colored washers and dryers available a very low close-out prices. We bought 26 pairs of these washers and dryers for our four stores. The price was so good that we wanted more, but this was our share. These washers and dryers will arrive in a few days and we will have 16 pairs for sale in our Medford and Ashland stores. We will have five green pairs, nine pink pairs, and two yellow pairs. The washer is the' medium-priced General Electric Filter-Flo model, and the dryer is our matching Air-Flo model. The washer and dryer were priced at $499.90. We will offer these special-purchase colored pairs at only $396. This is saving of $103.90, or about 20 off from our 1957 prices. It is our policy to make good buys like this for our customers every chance we can. We will take orders on these washer and dryer pairs now, for delivery when they arrive, on a first-come, first-serve basis. We also have some white washers and dryers in stock that we bought earlier. We have the clearance price at $439.90, on our white pairs. Although this is a saving of $60.00 from the 1957 prices, it is not nearly as good a deal as the $396 price on the colored pairs that are coming. Si HOM f yi UVI BETTEB u u sszs u u u a 'W- 115 East Main New Upper Applegate Hall Dedicated By Approximately 250 visiting grangers, members, and friends from Jackson and Josephine counties and distant points heard State Grange Master El mer McClure on Sunday after noon dedicate the new Upper Applegate Grange hall.

"The Grange has a record of ninety-two years of service to the nation, and there is no method to evaluate all of the good accomplished." the speak er asserted. "We are writing his tory for the future." he contin ued, emphasizing that the Grange as an organization, must be flexible to meet the chal lenges of the present day. Accompanying the Stat Mast er to the dedication were his wife, and state home Economics Chairman Pearl Dental.

"The log cabin is typically an Amer ican institution," she said, "and so in true pioneer fashion; the grangers built their first hall with logs, with each member be ing assessed 12 uprights, 2 joists, and 2 rafters." Neighbors and CCC boys joined Grange Soon Starlite Drive-In We We Official members in the actual construc tion in which the women also participated. Declaring that the Grange is an institution which transcends buildings and physical proper ties, she described its paramont; work as "the conscientious, in telligent study of current issuse which affect mankind, and the taking of appropriate action for I the benefit and betterment of all. She concluded with the read ing of the same poem, "THE BUILDERS," which she gave at at the first dedication 19 years ago. Thirteen of the original '5 charter members were present at the ceremonies, as were also the first two couples whose weddings occurred in the old hall, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Ritchey, and Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Williams, all of Medford.
