1 O TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Committee To Appraise Schools Appraisal of Oregon's schools . and suggestions for their im provement -will be sought in a series of county and town con ferences on education, which ; will be held throughout Oregon next February and March, ac cording to announcement this . week of a joint planning com mittee. The committee is made up of representatives of three groups sponsoring the statewide confer ence series the Oregon Con gress of Parents and Teachers, the Oregon State Boards associ ation and the Oregon Education association. Parents and other interested citizens will be invit ed to participate in the meetings in their areas. With such tremendous current pressure for more science and mathematics teaching the public generally should be more aware of what their schools are teach ing, according to Mrs. Russell Case, Portland, committee mem ber and state president of the Oregon Congress. "It is hoped these conferences will give them such an opportunity," she said. Four major questions are be ing posed for the discussions. (1) As parents and taxpayers what do we expect our schools to do for our children? (2) What are our schools doing for our children now? (3) What is being done to improve our school pro gram? (4) What can we as par ents and taxpayers do in our own area to have better schools for our children? The state planning committee members from the three organi zations are as follows: Mrs. Case, Portland; Mrs. Larry Mar- schat, Salem; Mrs. Joseph Ed miston, Milwaukie; Mrs. David McCarty, Portland; Oregon Con gress Parents and Teachers. James Yeomans, Portland (state school boards president); Bert Tousey, Tigard; Gardner Knapp, Salem; Eugene Fisher, Oakland; Oregon School Boards associa tion. Mrs. Sidney Mosner, Hills boro; Mrs. Opal Chapman, La Grande; William C. Jones, Eu gene; Douglas V. Olds, Forest Grove; Willson T. Maynard, Portland-; Oregon Education as sociation. Local county and area com mittees will be appointed in Jan uary to organize the meetings. Speak for Group A Christmas program was given for the last meeting of the Congregational Women's fellow ship, held at Pilgrim house. Mrs. Ivan Burton and Mrs. Richard Schuchard sang a medley of car ols from other lands. Miss Hieke Schneider from Germany and Shuji Yamamoto from Japan were guests and told of Christmas customs in their countries. Distributed by M and M FOOD SALES Medford, Oregon as Chiropodist and Dancer Speak for Charm School Dr. Arnold Depner and Mrs Margeen Thurston were the spe cial consultants at the second session of Rogue Valley area charm school for Intermediate Girl Scouts. Dr. Depner, Med ford chiropodist, opened the ses ion by stating that at birth 95 per cent of babies are born with good feet, but by the time they start to school 50 per cent have foot trouble of some kind, and by the time they become adults almost 95 per cent have some kind of foot trouble. He also stated that the main factor in these troubles are foot gear, the shoes and stockings or socks worn. Dr. Depner told the girls they should always try to wear the right shoes for each occasion, stating . that an oxford tie was the best for those on their feet a lot, because of the support given; it also prevents the feet from spreading. He suggested Bread Loaves Make Decoration For Christmas Denver (IF) Decorating" the home at Christime time need not be an additional expense, if you heed the advice of Mrs. Lor raine Quarve, who serves as foods instructor at Emily Grif fith Opportunity School. Her favorite decoration is a winter scene made of bread loaves. The birds get it after the family tires of the scenery. Mrs. Quarve said the project goes over big in her home where her husband and young son and daughter serve as builders. Here's how to make the houses: Remove crusts from unsliced bread loaves, making each loaf rectangular in shape. Use anoth er loaf to carve the slanted rooms and chimney and then put them together with tooth picks and attach to a base. If you want to make a church, fol low the same procedure except shape a steeple from the second loaf and attach to the rectangu lar loaf. Mrs. Quarve frosts, the house with icing made from one egg white and two cups of powdered sugar, and uses a pastry tube to decorate the roof. She says the chimney should be frosted red, with the doors and windows out lined with the same color as the roof. Christmas trees or wreaths can be drawn in the windows with icing. To make a popcorn tree, Mrs. Quarve advises pouring a pop corn ball mixture into two tree molds. When it is hard, one of the trees is cut in half and the three pieces are stuck together to form a four-sided tree. Crush ed candy can be used for paths, and hedges can be made from marshmallows, toothpicks and gumdrops. Colored Gloves Replacing White In High Society By UNITED PRESS Colored gloves replace white gloves in high society. Fashion experts say the gloves let women keep up with color trends, even if they can't wear the shade in large amounts. Most important color for spring is blue, from deep to pastel. Small-fry in Salt Lake City have adopted slim skirts as a club symbol. Sixth-graders form ed a club and voted to wear the skirts on Thursdays. The chemise look comes to maternity clothes. Several manu facturers show the chemise fall ing in straight lines or in pleated folds from the shoulders. i A coat from the House of Maximilian can go a fur piece in the rain. The water-repellent coat, designed for evening wear, is completely lined with Russian crown sables. Woodcraft Neighbors Cancel Meeting Phoenix The social meeting of Neighbor of Woodcraft lodge scheduled for the home of Mrs. E. R. Claflin Thursday, Decem ber 19, has been cancelled. FEATURED MEASURING ITS A MEASURE . . . STRAINER . on every quart bottle new improved golden -light CORN OIL Tuesday, December 17, 1957 the girls avoid sandals and loaf ers as that type of shoes does not give adequate support. He also advocated that the girls avoid bedroom slippers or gym shoes for every day wear be cause of lack of support; also the rubber soles on the gym shoes generate heat that causes exces sive sweating. The shoes are good for gym wear but not gen eral wear. Warnings Given Feet grow and the bones lengthen for most people until they are almost 20 years of age, according to the doctor, and short or ill-fitted shoes can cause serious malformation. Especially he warned the girls to avoid pointed toes for daily wear, and to be sure that shoes be at least one half to three-quarter inches longer than the longest toe (which is not always the great toe); it is better to have shoes too large than too small, he said. When buying shoes they should allow for growth and for the weight to be placed on the foot. Stockings or socks should be at least an inch longer than the foot; natural materials are best, cotton, wool or mixture of these with nylon. The doctor also gave the girls some suggestions for making the best use of their shoes. This in cluded changing shoes and stockings often, and not wearing shoes with bare feet) avoiding wrinkles or folds in stockings and use a good foot powder daily. He then spoke briefly of the major foot . trouble. The girls were then shown a film, "Shake Hands With Your Feet". After the girls sang a few carols, led by Senior Girl Scouts, Mrs. Thurston of the Thurston School of the Dance spoke to the girls on good pos ture and how to attain and main tain it. Mrs. Thurston stated that with good posture even a plain girl can look beautiful, and can wear clothes beautifully. She gave the girls some exercises to do that will help them attain good posture; one exercise was stretching standing tall, by put ting the vertebrae in the right position. Mrs. Thurston had Stephanie Hertager, one of her ballet students, demonstrate each exercise. Hundreds Attend Some of the points emphasized in the posture session was sitting correctly, walking correctly, deep breathing, and healthy feet Mrs. Thurston warned the girls to avoid carrying school books on one side all the time, as this can cause a curvature of the spine. She also told the girls that certain ballet exercises helped toward good posture. Troops attended from as far away as Cave Junction and Yre- ka, Calif. Approximately 500 girls were present. Each troop was judged on good grooming and troop 25, Jefferson school, was given custody of the travel ing trophy for good grooming until the January meeting. Lead er of Troop 25 is Mrs. R. P. Knight. Next session of the charm school will be January 11, and Mrs. A. O. Eden will be in charge, with the program being on hospitality and etiquette.
