2A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, April 12, 1959 f fl 1 BOPO fin n ' I fi "' 'yjf-l if ' Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Burk (Brainerd photo) Heirlooms, Art Objects To Be Displayed f or Tea A butter dish and a cake basket, . books, linens, and tablespoons are some of the family heirlooms of Miss Elizabeth Burr that she is loaning to the Medford com mittee of the American Cancer society, to be exhibited at its annual silver tea. The tea is planned for Friday, April 17 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. The money donated by guests at the tea is given to the Cancer society to aid in its threefold programs of edu cation, service, and research. The tea, always one of April's largest events, will be held at Hillcrest Orchards again this year, and the beauty of the trees in bloom should rival the man-made perfection of the objets d'art on display. French porcelain, belonging to Mrs. Fred C. Shere, a Staffordshire tureen, loaned by Mrs. Clinton Spen cer, and jade and ivory, shown by Mrs. Sam L. Gil bert, are among the collector's Items to be exhibited. Other exhibits will be in keeping with the Centennial theme. Mrs. H. A. Stanley will loan a pitcher that came around the Horn about a cen tury ago, and a fluting iron, Mrs. W. L. Walden is display ing a very old bedspread, and Mrs. Fred Scheffel, some washstand implements. The oldest gown on dis play, it is believed, will be the dubomiet taffeta that be longed to Alice Cogswell Bemis, grandmother of Mrs. John Day, in 1866. Most of the committee members, who will serve as hostesses, will be gowned in cotton copies of pioneer frocks, since the genuine old gowns are too fragile to withstand any ac tivity by the wearer. The upper floor of Hillcrest will display both beauty and originality, in the flower ar rangements that are being done by many 'local groups. These exhibits will be given anonymous numbers, and the best arrangements will be chosen by popular vote,, as in past years.
