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. May 25, 1854 Father
made Mother two flower box
es to put rose-moss ift, grown
from seed that Cousin Fran
ces gave her and she carried
it across the plains. June 30,
1854 I shot a deer. We had
green peas for dinner. July
11, 1854 The stagecoach
from Yreka to Jacksonville
began to run. October 18
1854 I went prospecting. I
raised the color several times
November 24, 1854 I shot
two nice salmon, in Wagner
creek.
December 25, 1854 Moth

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
