Member Gives
Club Program
On Wisconsin
Mrs. Edward C. Root gave
a program on "Wisconsin" for
the February meeting of Tra
vel Study club of the Oregon
Federation of Women's clubs
last Tuesday with Mrs. Carrie
Walters,' 719 Newtown street,
as hostess.
Mrs. Root states that as
early as 1634, Jean Nicollet,
a French trapper, visited the
country now known as Wis
consin. The first settlement
was by the. French at Green
Bay in the Seventeenth cen
tury. It was admitted as a
state May 29, 1848. The con
stitution then adopted is still
in force.
The state got its name from
its principal river, the Wis
consin, which means "the
wild, running water." It is
likened to the Rogue river of
Oregon, being treacherous and
full of deep holes. It never
freezes over solid in the
winter.
Wisconsin is noted for. its
cheese factories; Wisconsin
cheese is considered some of
the finest.
Milwaukee, the largest city,
is famous for its large brew
eries. Mrs. Root is a native of
Waukesha, but has lived in
Oregon since 1910. Waukesha
has many parks, and in these
parks are springs from which
water is bottled and shipped.
The White Rock water is fa
miliar to many people in Ore
gon. These springs are tiled
with marble, and the floor
around them is marble.
Another feature of Wiscon
sin is the "Dells" along the
Wisconsin river. These are
beautiful rock formations, and
in some places people can
walk and even picnic. They
are located at Dells City not
far from Portage. Wisconsin is
a land of many lakes.
Mrs. Root showed pic
tures which Mr. Root and she
took of Waukesha, the springs,
Dells and many lakes. One
book of pictures was at least
125 years old.
Mrs. Clay M. Lee, president
of the club, presided at a short
business session, and intro
duced Mrs. Carl W. Peterson,
Ashland, district president;
Mrs. William A. White, past
district president, and a di
rector; Mrs. H. J. Stephens,
past president' of Rogue River
Civic club, second vice presi
dent and chairman of conser
vation for District 1; Mrs.
Ruth Drumm, president of the
same club; and Mrs. Lynabel
Deck, a member of the club.
Mrs. Peterson was given an
honorary membership in Tra
vel Study club, and Mrs. Beryl
Lyon was welcomed back into
the club after months of tra
vel in many of the states. .
Mrs. Walters had a minia
ture covered wagon, filled
with small sacks of food prod
ucts, which might have been
used by the pioneers. Each
member was given one of the
sacks.
The next meeting will be
Tuesday, March 31, with Mrs.
Marvin Nelson, 225 Cottage
street, as hostess.

Two Eagle Point Groups
Observe PTA Anniversary
Eagle Point Eagle Point

association and Eagle Point
High School Parent-Teacher-Student
association combined
meetings February 24 to com
memorate Founders' day.
Each organization held short,
separate business meetings
prior to the program, and
elected nominating commit
tees for next year's officers.
For the PTA, Mrs. William C.
Calloway, Mrs. M. H. Johnson,
Mrs. Joseph Mun'shaw, and G.
Lee Hayes, principal, were
named; for the PTSA, Mrs. G.
E. Elrod, Trail, Mrs. Lester

man Higday, Eagle Point, and
S. W. Callaghan, principal,
were elected.
Past presidents of both as
sociations took part in the
program. Mrs. Sam Keim re
ported that during her term
of office in 1934-35, the health
"round-up" of preschool chil
dren was inaugurated, with
Dr. A. Erin Merkel in attend
ance. Also, the McLaughlin
Memorial fund was started,
with each child bringing a
penny to school every Friday
to donate to the fund. The
PTA served the school lunches
at that time, with one hot dish
each day prepared on an old
four-burner wood stove. Mrs.
Paul Force, 1937-38, recalled
that during her term a shed
was built on the school
grounds for the children to
play in during rainy weather.
Past Recalled
Mrs. Kermit Carroll, presi
dent for two terms from 1946
to 1948, recalled that twelve
years ago there were only two
small buildings serving grade
and high school students;
these are still in use as a
small portion of the grade
school. During that year a
fire occurred which destroyed
the school gymnasium, and
plans were started for a new
building. Foodstuffs were still
in short supply following the
war years, and members of
the PTA canned hundreds of
jars of pears, peaches, and to
matoes for the school cafe
teria. Michael Palm, EPHS soph
omore, introduced his moth
er, Mrs. Raymond Palm, who
headed the Elementary PTA
in 1954-55, the year the get
acquainted dinners were start
ed as well as the "Koffee
klatches" which have become
a tradition each spring to
raise money to send delegates
to the state PTA conventions.
Mrs. Dale Ackerman, presi
dent in 1955-56, reported that
the Eagle Point Mothersingers
and various study groups were
organized that year. Mrs.
John Huffman stated that one
of the principal projects of
her term last year was to ac
quaint parents with the cur
riculum of their children1 in
school and engender a closer
relationship between home
and school.
Eagle Point High School
association was formed in
May, 1955, being unique in
that it organized as a parent
teacher - student association.
Mrs. Herbert Perdue was
elected first president. Intro
duced at this meeting by her
son, Thoma" Perdue, sopho
more at Eagle Point High
school, Mrs. Perdue reported
that during her first term four
high school rooms were sup
plied with blackout curtains
made by PTSA members, and
that several pieces of. furni
ture were recovered for the
teachers' lounge. During her
second year the PTSA under
took the supervision of activ
ities in the local Teenage club
and also started the making of
40 robes for the high school
chorus, completed the follow
ing year.

WATER - REPELLENT garments
are out in force this time of
year. How water-resistant are the
special finishes
on the fabric
of your rain
coat, cor coat
or jacket?
Well, you can
still get damp
wearing a wa
ter - repellent
coat in a heavy
rainstorm. Such
finishes are not completely water
proof. They do shed a lot of
moisture and they also resist
staining a valuable feature in
any clothing. A good water re
pellent finish will keep the gar
ment clean longer and will last
even through several cleanings.
However, not even the finest
water-repellent finish is perman
ent. The finish loses its effec
tiveness against moisture and has
to be renewed periodically. If
you've worn yours for quite a
while, or if it's had a few clean
ings, let us renew the finish the
cleaning. It'll last longer and do
a better job of keeping you dry.
For everything you need to keep
your clothes fresh, clean and
longer wearing, depend upon om
prompt, careful and dependable
service. We have the techniques
and the modern equipment to
serve you better! BIG Y Clean
