Peterson, Ash land, first district president of Oregon Federation of Wom ,en's Clubs, was guest speaker for a meeting of Travel Study club Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Edward C. Root, Jack sonville highway. Mrs. Peterson spoke on the General Federation of Wom en's clubs, and Oregon Fed eration of Women's clubs. Mrs. Peterson said it all began in 1868 when the well know newspaper woman, Jen nie June Croly, was barred from attending a dinner giv en by the New York Press club honoring Charles Dick ens, She was aroused by this discrimination against women and decided there was a def inite need for a Woman's club. She organized a club which was called Corosis. Many similar groups were formed and in March 1890, ' they met to form a federation. Thus Sorosis has been called the "mother" of the General Federation. Mother and Tot Swimming Class Planned at Y Swimming instruction for mothers and their pre-school children will start Wednes day, February 4, at 10:30 a.m at the YMCA.

The classes are held Wed nesdays and Fridays from 10:30 until 11:30 a.m. and will include 15 lessons. A limited number of mothers who are not members of the YMCA may register for the class. In 1910 the United States government granted a charter to the organization. In 67 years, it has grown to be the largest group o f organized women in the world. It has a membership of 11,000,000 in 58 countries, mere are 15,000 .clubs in the United States. The Oregon Federation was admitted to the General Fed eration in 1901, Mrs. Peter son said. Oregon club women paid for the statue of Saca- jawea at a cost of $6,000 for the Lewis and Clark fair. There was $40,000, and 1870 girls have been aided in then education. During the years, the Oregon Federation of Women's clubs has helped many organizations, she said. There are about 110 clubs in Oregon and the goal is a membership of 6,000 by 1960. Mrs. Clay M. Lee, presi dent, presided at the business session, and presented Mrs. Peterson with a corsage. This was the first guest day for the Travel Study club. Guests of the club were Mrs. Donald R. Lue, Mrs. Clyde Knight, Phoenix, Mrs Dayton Depue, Mrs. Clark J. Walker and Mrs. Peterson, Ashland. Mr. Root, husband of the hostess, composed a song for the Travel Study club, which proved amusing.

New Hampshire's outstand ing physical feature is White Mountain, 6288 feet high, the highest in New England states. The Cog railway is the only in the country. A granite pro file of the old Man of the Mountain is above Profile Lake. Vermont produces more maple syrup than any other state. Over 3 million trees are tapped annually. Mrs. Fa sel said there are many cov ered bridges. Colonel Enoch Hale's bridge over Conneti cut River at Bellows Falls was built in 1785, and 385 feet long. It is the first famed tim ber bride in America. The Sterling Memorial Li brary of Yale is one of the worlds largest and finest, con taining about 4 million books. The famous Payne Whitney gymnasium of Yale is t h e largest such structure in the world.

During the refreshment hour Mrs. Peterson poured from a table centered with an arrangement of red and white carnations and small birds accenting the table. The next meeting will be Tuesday, February 24. "I'm just like Alice (in "Alice in Wonderland") said a recent note from Mrs. C. F. Risse. "It takes all the running I can do to stay in'the same place." Mrs. Risse isn't the only one who has to run hard to just keep up, and Potpourri knows for sure that things will get worse before they get better. Take a look at this week for instance, with the Mardi Gras ball coming on Friday night, and the Beta Sigma Phi Valentine ball Saturday night. But life is even more hectic in Salem, where the social kettle comes to a boil during the sessions of the Legislature. Mrs. Evelyn (Stephen G.) Nye, member of the House of Representatives, reported in at the Mail Tribune briefly Saturday morning and said she skipped a couple of tradi tional parties for legislators in order to spend the week end with her family. Mrs. Nye said the legislators had fin ished "the shake down" and already are hard at work. The lady lawmaker looked exceedingly smart in a brown dress worn with a short beige colored leather coat, a small round leather hat in tangerine shade with matching scarf and ear rings. Mrs. Nye commented on the pictures of the Robert Dun can family and Mrs. William McAllister on our desk. As the wife of the speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Duncan is taking an important part in the social life of the capital. Mrs. McAllister, whose husband is the new chief justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, has as many friends in her former home town of Medford as she does in Salem. One of her Medford friends, Mrs. Raymond Miksche, made the beautiful plaque which can be seen on the wall above the fireplace in today's picture. How glad we are not to be living in Russia. For more reasons than one. Bess Watkins added a postscript to one of her stories recently which said that a book she read had this interesting information: In Russia applicants for a license to drive a car must know how to dismantle and reassemble an engine. Potpourri can't, even change a tire. It would be interesting to know how many Jackson county residents could qualify for motor vehicle licenses under such rules. Dr. Margaret Sloan of the National Research council recently toured Russia. Dr. "Sloan was permitted to visit homes with Russian physicians as they made their rounds, and reported that Russians are more desperate for living space than Americans trying to find housing in such cities as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, .beds are to De found in every room of the homes, and, sometimes even in the halls, she said. Another aspect of Russian living impressed her tremen dously. Russians read a lot, she reported. They read so much that book stores are to be founcf in almost every block - some blocks have two or three. Wernher Von Brauri sees the . revelations now coming from space exploration as "evidence of God's immense plan," according to a UPI report. He warns that unless man will accept divine guidance, he may be tempted to "exploit space with aggressive de signs" and try to dominate earth by conquering the, universe. The German-born rocket expert who heads the Army's missile program told a session of the Woman's Forum on National Security Friday: "The first ventures into regions beyond the sensible atmosphere have produced new knowledge" which points up the beatuy and order of creation, which verifies the natural laws governing all life and which logically should enhance our reverence."-O.S. .
