Mrs. Palladay emphasized the fact that clubs affiliated with the federation must be open to any Republican wom an "regardless of race, creed or color." She said club mem bers must learn to distinguish between discussion and argu ment. "Republicanism stress es the dignity of man," she declared.

LUGGAGE SALE i OCULAR STOCK-NO SECONDS ALL COLORS ALL SIZES BOOKS - GIFTS - RECORDS 217 East Main Medford By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York -Walter Reade Jr., may have discovered how to keep 'em down on the farm after they've eaten in Paree. He foresees for American suburbia chains of fine con tinental restaurants located in the most convenient spot possible-shopping centers. The motion picture distrib utor and restaurateur launch ed his first such dining spot in a shopping center near the junction of two busy high ways in Paramus, N.J., about 35 minutes from the heart of Manhattan. The Continental, an ele gantly decorated restaurant with three dining rooms and a barJounge, will rub elbows with supermarkets and with branches of big city depart ment stores. However it bears no resemblance to the usual chain eatery, Reade said in an interview. Like elegant European res taurants, it will serve both lunch and dinner. It also will be open for late evening sup pers for theater-goers. The bill of fare will feature specialties of many nations. And not just the more famil air foreign dishes, such as veal parmigiano or coq au vin, although these entrees will be offered from time to time. Diners who like to ex periment may try osso bucco, a veal stew in wine sauce, or flaming sword entrees. Reade said the project was inspired by traveling Ameri cans who developed a taste for many foreign cuisines during vacation and business trips abroad. For convenience he plans to locate. restaurants to satisfy these tastes in the centers that are drawing more and more suburbanites away from city shopping trips. Although the chic new din ing rooms will concentrate on the dinner trade, they also will offer moderately priced lunches for the busy house wife who wants a restful break in the middle of her day's shopping. Industrial executives whose companies have joined the decentralization trek to the suburbs, will be able to lunch in style and privacy. At noon, one of the Continental's three dining rooms will become a private key club for men, with an elaborate buffet menu. The decor of all the three rooms differs, but they can be made into one large room by sliding panel dividers. Closed, the private club is a study in oak-paneling and polished wood rafters, with a modern fireplace and a pano ramics mural. The Appian dining room is done in Italian style, in tones of Pompeiian red (a deep, rich red), soft gray -blue, and creamy white. A brick wall and two glass walls, statuary and plants give the effect of outdoor dining. The third - and smallest - room, with French motii, is the Esplanade, done in shades of cream, sepia and brown in styles dating back to the 15th and 16 centuries. The man who maintains there is nothing like a good slice of rare roast beef will get it while it's hot and at peak flavor, directly from a cart wheeled up to his table, in the manner of one of Lon don's famous restaurants. A fancier version, filet de boeuf , with wine sauce, also will be available. Served in an elaborate set ting to match the food, this experiment in suburban din ing may sound too rich for the average family's budget. Reade insists this is not so. "Americans no longer want a diet of hamburger and French fries in a sea of ket chup," explained the motion picture distributor and res taurateur. "Dining out is an event, especially for people who have traveled abroad, and eaten at some of Europe's finest restaurants. "But they don't want to come to town, so we'll take luxury restaurants to them." Gardeners Meet At Marshall Home Little Garden club of Med ford met Wednesday, Febru ary 11, at the home of Mrs. Vernon Marshall, 815 West 12th street. After a business meeting, a tour of the Mar shall nursery was conducted by Mrs. Marshall. Guests were Mrs. Harry Bryden and Mrs. Walter Marquess. The next meeting will be an all day meeting on March 11, at the nome of Mrs. Clay ton Ruhl, 1300 Dakota av enue. The subject for discus sion will be the "Care and Planting of Shrubs." PTA Marks Anniversary Grand Rapids, Mich. - (DTD - The National Congress of Par ents and Teachers better know simply as the PTA observed the 62nd anniver sary of its founding today.

Mrs. Parker is confident the PTA will accomplish its pres ent goal, just as it has done many other things since it was founded in 1897 as the National Congress of Moth ers.
