53 rd Yea? Medford Price 10 Cents Tribune 2nd SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1959 Pages 1 - 8 Bock Stairs: Welk Show Pleases Ike Br MERRIMAN SMITH UPI While House Reporter Ladies and gentlemen closely familiar with the re action of President and Mrs. Eisenhower to professional entertainment say never have they seen the chief executive and his wife enjoy anything quite as much as Lawrence Welk. The champagne music man who confounds the jazz hounds by his smashing suc cess on television came to dinner at the White House this week. Welk, his orchestra and Alice Lon, the "Cham pagne Lady," entertained in the East Room after Dinner. Watch Walk Often Mrs. Eisenhower confided to Miss Lon that she and the President watch the Welk organization on telev i s i o n whenever possibleand Welk is on twice a week with his bubbling music beloved of those who think Benny Good man is a golf pro. y The President enjoyed the East Room musicale so much that he stayed up quite later than usual to have a private 20-minute chat with the or chestra leader. Lady reporters who cov ered the musicale were some what unprepared for the split second timing of the wavy haired maestro. One girl re porter, intent about her busi ness, walked up with pad and pencil to ask Welk a ques tion. Before a word could be ex changed, the band leader snatched the pad and pencil away from the lady, scrawled his autograph and handed it back to her with a great big smile. The fact that Mrs. Eisen hower, at least, is an inveterr ate television viewer has re flected itself in the just con cluded White House social season. In addition to Welk, she also arranged for a simu lated broadcast of thfe Voice of Firestone, another major TV musical show, for the en tertainment world because the President and his wife rarely attend the theater or concerts outside the White House. In their own White House theater, they see the best films Hollywood has to offer. And their movie viewing is liberally interspersed with TV shows that hold special interest. In other words, the President and his wife don't sit down in front of the TV set any old time, flip the dial and watch whatever happens to be on at the moment. Favorites in Black, White While they like some of the color TV shows, many of their favorites are on in black and white. Their TV taste runs to shows like Lawrence Welk and Perry Como. The Presi dent likes some sports events, particularly football, and a few choice Westerns. FIRE TRAIL An Atlas mis sile arches into the sky and disappears over Cape Ca naveral, Fla.

Main Medford, Oregon Forestry Board Bill Brings First Debate in Senate Salem -UPD- The first de bate, in the Oregon Senate since the 1959 session opened took place Thursday over a bill authorizing the State Board of Forestry to acquire property by eminent domain needed for constructing ac cess roads into forest lands. The bill came to the floor of the Senate on a favorable report from the Senate Com mittee on Natural Resources. The hassle occurred when Sen. Dan Dimmick (D-Rose-burg) attempted to have the bill referred to the Judiciary Committee. Sen. Walter Leth (R-Salem) defended the Committee's report, saying the Forestry Department needed the au thority in order to act swiftly on building access roads in order to get out ripe timber. The- Senate will vote Fri day on adoption of the mea sure. Re-Assessment Bill Sen. William Grenfell Jr. (D-Portland) has introduced a-j proposal making mandatory a cooperation of counties with the State Tax Commission in carrying out the re-assessment program on property. Most counties have entered into an agreement with the state to re - assess property but there are still some that Mrs. Jean Hart Plans Opening of Store Addition To mark the completion of an addition to her store and extensive renovation, Mrs. Jean Hart has planned a grand opening and trunk showing of sports clothing for Monday, Feb. 2. The store is located at 617 East Main st. in the expand ing East side shopping area. Favors will be presented to those visiting the store Mon day. Here to manage the trunk showing of the Glen of Michi gan sportswear will be Mrs Emma Lyn Huber, sales rep resentative of the firm. The showing will be from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Mrs. Hart has carried the Glen of Michigan line for several years and pointed out that it has proven popular with southern Ore gon women. Acquires Space The addition to the store, acquired by taking over space to the east formerly occupied by an insurance firm, is 14 by 40 feet. This area will house the sportswear stock and the corset and brassiere stock of Mrs. Idah Wood, who operates this department under a' lease from Mrs. Hart. Mrs. Wood has been associ ated with Mrs. Hart for the past three years. .New dressing rooms are also located in this part of the building. The entire interior has been redecorated, using a cream color scheme accented with redwood trim. The' red wood has also been used for divider sections and new shelves. The heating and ven tilating system of the store has been modernized. Mrs. Hart states that all lines of coats, suits and dress es carried in the past are being continued, and that new lingerie and hosiery counters will permit addi tional stock in these depart ments. Mrs. Hart has been in busi ness in Medford for the past 13 years. She started with a personal shopping service, and then opened the clothing store at a location on South Grape st. Five years ago she moved to the East Main st. location now occupied by the store. The Family Council Editor's note: The Fnul Council consists ot a.

Present law calls for all counties to enter into the as sessment arrangement with the Commission by 1961 but Grenfell does not feel this is soon enough. . Only six counties have not signed agreements with the Commission. ' Mrs. L. K. I am so upset about my 20-year-old daugh ter Harriett I hardly know what to do. Six months ago she broke an engagement to a very nice young man she had gone with for four years. She broke it just out of childish foolish ness. She met a man of 30, who happened to be good looking and a slick talker, and she fell for him head over heels. Within two months he got tired of her and now she's left high and dry just as I told her she'd be. The big problem now is that all her old friends boys and girls are disgusted with her and won't have anything to do with her. She's out of the swim. She wants to go away for a while and visit her aunt. I tell her there's no hid ing place. She has to face the music. Harriett K. I don't know how I'm going to face the music if nobody even asks m out to face it. Even my best girl friend turned against me. My ex-fiance is very popular with our whole crowd, .every one feels that I save him raw deal. We had gone steady since our high schol days. I realize that I made a bad mistake, but what am I sup posed to do about it? Leonard wouldn't have me back even if I begged him. Anyway. I not sure I would want him again even if he asked me. My mother doesn't want me to visit my aunt because she is a career woman who never married. Mother knows that I admire her for her success and she's afraid I'll get "fool ish notions." I don't think will. I just want to get away from it all for a while. The Council Both mother and daughter overlook . some important factors in this sit uation. These factors may in fluence their outlook on the immediate future. The most significant factor is that Harriet is not guilty of any serious crime-and doesn't deserve to be treated like a culprit. She should not have to "face the music or to "get away from it all." Her friends are dead wrong to boycott her. They can sympa thize with her ex-fiance, but it is not up to them to pass sentence in this very per sonal matter.- Eventually one or all of them will realize it. ' Harriet and her mother seem to have accepted the verdict of the "crowd"-that she has done a terrible wrong in breaking the engagement They fail to recognize that the wrong preceded this event. Harriet undoubtedly had quite a bit of uncertain ty about her engagement to Leonard. If she weren't shaky in her feelings about him and her approaching marriage, she would never have allowed another man to enter the picture. It" is quite likely that she used the second man as an easy and NO DISHWASHING GRIND , IN FIFTY-NINE! r4!.s4 . I . 4. One Thousand Sinks Full of Dirty Dishes...

A girl who has gone steady with one man since the age of 16 may well have misgiv ings about marrying him. Harriet must have wanted to know others and to put her feelings to the test. She should have done it before she got engaged, but she probably didn't permit her self to feel her own doubts until she was faced with the actuality of marriage. Any true friend should understand this. A period of separation may do both Harriet and her friends some good, but Har riet should recognize that she has no reason to hang her head in shame. (Copyright 19S8, General Features Corp.) New Course Offered For Social Workers At Southern Oregon Ashland - Leading to a bachelor of science degree in general studies with a major in social scien.ee, a . new course offering for social workers has been instituted at Southern Oregon college, according to Dr. Alva W. Graham, director of graduate studies. Stressing the Increasing de mand for graduates in this area, Dr. Graham quoted James Pullman, Jackson county welfare administra tor, as saying "The demand for qualified social workers is great and the number of professionally qualified ap plicants very small." "This new course has been specifically designed to meet this need," Dr. Graham said. "It will enable students . to enter directly into social work or take graduate work at such schools as the Uni versity of Washington or the University of California." Rewarding Profession Social work can be a high ly - rewarding profession," Graham continued, "not only from a psychological stand point but in terms of salaries and prestige. Possessors of a BS degree are offered about $4,000 a year to begin with, and those who specialize in graduate work begin at sal aries of five to six thousand dollars." For the freshman and sophomore years, the recom mended program is the same as for all general studies stu dents. On the junior and senior levels sequences will be required fn anthropology, sociology, philosopy, political science, and allied courses. Individual courses such ai marriage and the family, hu man development, and ado lescent psychology will also be required, and there will be opportunities for exper ience with social agencies under the direction of Dr. Frederick Trost, college co ordinator and staff member.
