Will Fall APART? i Select Wash-n-Wear Clothes for Children Carefully if you choose to buy them. One brand may launder satisfactorily. Another may turn dirty yellow or fall apart. This may happen to dress or sport shirts, blouses, work or play clothes, or other wash-n-wear fabrics and gar ments, white or colored, normally bleached for stain removal and reten tion of original whiteness. According to American Institute of Laundering, inferior wash-n-wear garments may be made with certain resin finishes that absorb chlorine from hypochlorite bleach, commonly used. This can't rinse out and heat from ironing creates an acid which yellows or destroys the fabric.

Southern Oregon History Program for More than 50 members and guests of the College Women's club of the Rogue River val ley met at the Girls' Commun ity club Saturday afternoon to hear more of the early his tory of Southern Oregon told in song and story. To intro duce the theme, Mrs. Amos Willits presented Mrs. Rich ard Joy of Ashland, who sang a group of folk songs remin iscent of the pioneer period of Oregon history. Introducing the ballads, Mrs. Willits said that the folk song of this era was often accompanied by the banjo, which she described as the only original folk instrument in America. It is related "on its mother's side" to primi tive West African stringed in struments but "brought up" by Negro slaves and taken over by Southern mountain eers. Mrs. Joy then sang "Cindy" that brings out the banjo rhythm. Then came "The Red River Valley," a little tune "that drifts straight into your heart like smoke from a lonely cabin." Another song of the period was "Down in the Valley," a lonesome tune distilled out of the quiet of the mountain coves. The last number was the familiar "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" by Stephen Foster, who was the popular writer of the day. . 1 At the October meeting of the .club, Dr. Frank Haines of Southern Oregon college de scribed Indian life in South ern Oregon. Mrs. George Car ter, whose grandfather, John Beeson, settled on Wagner creek in 1853, -continued the history of this area beginning with the coming of the white man. She read excerpts from her father's diary which he. began on his 15th birthday and continued for 42 years. The diary begins when the family was living on the rich farm lands of La Salle county in Illinois. After seeing neigh bor after neighbor leave for the Oregon country, the Bee sons decided to follow, but there were an infinite number of things to do before they were ready "to roll." This in cluded the buying of two yoke of oxen, the killing of two hogs to provide meat on the journey, the baking of crackers and making soap and candles. Parting Hard Parting with prized posses sions and old friends was hard but not so bad as shoot ing the old cat, Socrates, to keep him from "fretting" for them after they were gone. Finally on March 17, 1853, they were off, and on August 30 they sighted the Bear creek country, finding houses de serted as the owners had tak en refuge in the Jacob Wag ner fort west of the present town of Talent, for the In dians were on a rampage. On September 4, 1853, the Bee- sons chose land between the Anderson and the Wagner claims; on September 6, they moved to their new farm. September 6, 1853, 25 men raised a sawmill, the first in this valley. After, several planning meetings, the men of the community built a schoolhouse of hewed logs, and on June 20, 1854, a Mr. Gray opened a school, the first in the Rogue valley. Five miles up the valley was Hel man's "compounder" that provided their bread until August 24th of that year when the Ashland Mills ground the first flour used by the set tlers. July 13, 1854, a group started for the new diggings ! YOU SAID A Organization at Sterling-, a thriving village of four stores. The town had been named after James Ster ling, the young man who made the find. After mentioning several meetings of the Friends of Temperance, Mr. Beeson wrote: "The prospect is that this will be one of the most moral neighborhoods around but no telling what time will do." Minute Company On March 31, 1856, Mr. Beeson went to Pike (Phoe nix) to a meeting of the citi zens to form a "minute com pany" for the protection of the community against the Indians, who were giving trouble in the Illinois valley. When the post office came to Pike, the name was changed to Phoenix. The latter part of the diary tells that the writer's father felt that the Indians were mis treated and misunderstood Feeling ran so high against him that he was forced to leave the country under mili tary escort to insure his safe ty. After spending some time in the Willamette valley where he met Dr. John Mc Loughlin, who sympathized with his attitude, he went to San Francisco and on to New York, where he studied under eminent doctors of the day as an apprentice. To improve the relationship between the Indian and the settler, he wrote a book calied "A Plea for the Indian." While brows ing in the Americana collec tion of the Yale university li brary a few years ago, Mrs. Carter found three copies of this book, each a f different edition. She later found that there is one copy in the Bos ton Public library and one at the University of Oregon. Diary Excerpts To appreciate the diary, one must read it in Mr. Beeson's own words. Here . are some excerpts: March 14, 1854 Father helped Mother make soap.

MOUTHFUL ! 7 Designer Introduces Space Suit By NATALIE BEST United Press International Los Angeles-flJPD-The most successful "moon shot" of the year may be in the world of women's fashions. At least an interplanetary space-suit to day won the approval of some 70 fashion editors from across the nation attending the Eighth Annual Press Week. This "first" in the highly competitive apparel industry came from California design er Phil Rose, a veteran of the world's secorid largest fash ion market. This is not the first time the zany moonwear manufac turer has thrust startling new ideas on the fashion world. In his 20 years of apparel business, Rose launched the first Capri pants-1946, adapt ed the Italian look for Amer-ica-1952, introduced the Scaridariavian look-1957, and is heading for the moon-1959. Exploring the possibilities of "fun wear" Rose actually was looking for a reason to make long coveralls for wom en. He had a new fabric and nine shockingly new bright colors to try on Miss and Mrs. America. By accident he fell into rocket-age styling when several of the strange new colors were 'called "out of this world'' by his colleagues. Zoom! He was off. He im mediately saw his new colors for what they were, repro ductions of the eerie jet stream greens, blues, reds and pinks. He named them in celestial terms such as Jupi ter pink, Saturn yellow. Mar tian blue. Mercury green ana solar Orange. To Rose this spelled something hot - ther monuclear in color and the unheard of something "new" in fashions. Undaunted by the jeers of Other's in this fieid, he went ahead and quietly designed futuristic space wear - six completely durable, comfort able, slip-on "flight suits" for the woman or tomorrow Y Knot Twirlers Set Thursday Event The Y Knot Twirlers Square Dance club will sponsor a dance in the social hall of the Medford YMCA starting at 8 p.m. Thursday.
