Tireless U.S. Housewives
Aid Endless Health Search
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women'! Editor
New York - (UPD - The
American people are on a
never-ending search for health
TTTTZ that is equal-
else in the
'1 world, thanks
largely to the
efforts of a
tireless army
of housewives.
In cities.
ft1 towns and vil"
ll W 2 laes across
Gy pauey the country,
whenever the cry goes out for
money to fight polio, cancer
or other diseases, women drop
their dust clothes and brooms
and go out to ring doorbells
and collect what is needed.
They may not know the
difference between a labora-
tory test tube and a Bunsen
burner, but they do know
about the ravages of various
killing diseases.
This year alone, more than
175 million dollars is being
raised for major national
health projects ranging from
palsy to cancer. Many more
millions are being collected
for research and treatment in
less important health fields
Still other millions are being
solicited for local health and
welfare work. The grand total
is something like six billion
dollars.
Army of Volunteers
Most of the fund raising
Is done by a vast army of vol
unteers estimated at a full
strength of more than 27 mil
lion and most of the workers
are women. T -
Dr. Daniel Dodson, chair
man of the New York Univer
sity Department of Human Re
lations, summed up the parti
cipation of women, particu
larly club women, in the pro
motion of health for all citi
zens. He said that nowhere else
in the world are there people
who voluntarily support medi
cal research, treatment and re
habilitation to the extent
American people do. Other
countries rely on their gov
ernments. In the U.S., the gov
ernment does its part, but so
do the private citizen.
Many college, university
and hospital research projects
are financed solely with the
nickles, dimes, quarters and
dollars hosewives collect on

Anniversary Party
Brownie Troop 52 of the
Roosevelt - Hoover neighor
hood held a first anniversary
party recently at the home of
Mrs. Victor Milnes, 15 North
Groveland avenue. Mrs.
Milnes is troop leader and
Mrs. Ray Moron is assistant
leader.
The member's mothers were
invited guests; the girls sang
several Brownie songs for
their mothers as part of the
program.
The Brownies were present
ed a gift from the leaders, a
Brownie Scrapbook, and were
given their world friendship
pins and troop numbers.
Refreshments served was a
cake decorated with a Brown
ie motif in the center and
circled by six Brownie dolls;
the colors were brown and
yellow. Mrs. Robert Sleeter,
committee woman poured
coffee. Other committee mem
bers present were Mrs. B. K
Blackhurst and Mrs. Robert
Riechers.
Special guests for the party
were Valerie Hostetter and
her mother, Mrs. Robert
Hostetter; Valerie is joining
the troop as a new member
The Mostetters are new to
the Rogue valley.
The troop recently took a
field trip through Fluhrers'

C. H. Herman.
their rounds. It was the an
nual "March of Dimes" that
produced the Salk polio vac
cine. Foundation of Democracy
"I would not for a moment
discount the importance of
voluntary participation and
involvement," Dr. Dodson
says. "In many respects, this
is the foundation on which
democracy is based.
"No government could af
ford the services to its peoples
which we Americans provide
through voluntary activity.
"I would contend that the
well-springs of democracy are
in these autonomous organi
zations which surfeit our com,
munities. Dr. Dodson said of
the junior, leagues, .women's
clubs and other groups pro
viding the nucleus of fund
raisers.
"Here is the cradle of lead
ership training. People with
local concerns become involv
ed. They study their prob
lems, they learn how to work
with others. They find they
must reflect on what they did
wrong, when their plans
failed.
"They stretch theid own
conceptions of self as they
gain confidence in leading.
"When it is realized that
in the social welfare field
alone, some 27 million people
serve as volunteers, one gets
the sweep of such involve
ment."

Ted Lawson is shown here in his role of Harry Beaton in
the musical play, "Brigadoon" which Medford High school
will present for three nights beginning December 4 at the
school auditorium. Since the scene of the play is Scotland,
many of the men in the cast wear the colorful kilts. Tickets
for the popular musical comedy are on sale at the high school
office, from members of the school choir or from members
of Future Business Leaders' club. "Brigadoon" is the story of
two American men who find themselves in the midst of a
Scottish village which "comes to life" but one day each cen
tury and then dissolves into the mists. Dress rehearsals are
going on nightly this week under the direction of Lynn
Sjolund and Mrs. Lenore Zappell.
PTA Councils
Shakespearean Festiva
A resolution commending
the Oregon Shakespearean
festival was recently passed
by the Jackson County Coun
cil of Parent-Teacher associa
tion The resolution reads:
''We, the members of the
Jackson County Council of
Parent-Teacher associations,
believing the continued pre
sentation of authentic Shake
spearean plays in Ashland to
be of major educational and
cultural value, hot only for
our children, their parents
and teachers, but for all chil
dren and all N parents and
teachers, commend the Ore
gon Shakespearean Festival."
The resolution was also en
dowed by the Medford Coun
cil of Parent - Teacher as
sociations at their November
meeting.
Angus L. Bowmer, produc
ing director of the Ashland
festival and professor . at
Southern O regon coll ege,
Southern Oregon college
spoke to the county council
on the theme "Shakespeare in
our Lives." It is often said

Commend
that Mr. Bowman has the tal
ent of bringing to life and
action the drama of Shake
speare, wherever he speaks
of the festival plays. Several
of those hearing him said they
felt as if they have been de
priving themselves or their
children of a "wonderful ex
perience" in not seing Shake
speare's plays "come to life"
on the Ashland stage.
Mr. Bowman related that
he had seen the sam groups
of children come to the the
ater in Ashland day after day
to watch rehearsals. This
means the reading " of lines
over and over again, the stag
ing of scenes, all of which lack
the color and dash of the foot
lights and colorful costumes
that are a part of the finish
ed productions. "Children are
just as interested in Shake
speare's plays, if not more so,
than in western cowboy mov
ies, if they are exposed to
them and given the oppor
tunity of sharing them with
you," Mr. Bowman conclud
ed. Plans Announced
For Wilson PTA
A "steering committee' met
