Elliott of The Califor nia-Oregon Power company presented a motion picture, "Conquest Of The Klamath," at last Friday's meeting of the Roxy Ann Gem and Mineral club. The program pointed out how geological knowledge is utilized in the construction of Copco's installations on the Klamath River. One of the guests, Don Cline, gave an interesting demonstration of faceting This is one of the, techniques used in producing finished gem stones. Mrs. John S. Dodge an nounced that the material now in the club's showcase at the U. S. National bank, Main and Central streets, was provided by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Harri son. It is a display of speci mens from the quartz family of minerals, all found within a radius of 75 miles from Med ford.

June 17. Townsend club announces that the weekly potluck lunch eon hour will be changed to 12:30 'p.m. On last week s program, entertainment was provided by Jack and Ronnie . Webster. Three new members were reported. The meeting closed with readings, and dancing. Members are reminded that Centennial clothing will be in order for a picnic to be held July 1 in Hawthorne park. Men are asked to wear derby hats, and whiskers will be permissible. a . City and Denver residents are the fattest. Texas also appears to be about as big in the paunch as it is in everything else. And the so-called backbone of the nation-the Middle and Southwest-is well cushioned. Fatsos abound in Columbus, Ohio, Indianapolis, Chicago, Houston and Cincinnati. These are some of the find ings in a drug store "samp ling" done by the regimen division of the Drug Research corporation. Regimen, a re ducing aid, wanted to find where it should concentrate its sales campaigns, explained the president, John Andre. Compiled By Questionnaire The firm claims this is the first such "overweight map" ever drawn. Until now, it says, the only available statis tic on the obesity problem has been the generally accepted findings of major life insur ance companies. They list some 17 million adults-or one of every five persons-weighing more than is good for them. The American Medical As sociation figures you're a fat ty if you're 10 to 15 per cent above the average for your weight and build. Andre said the map x was compiled from more than 5,000, questionnaires turned! in by customers of 700 drug stores. The study did not try to determine whether there is a relation of fat of the land and fat bank accounts. It .took notice though of capital gains residents of most state capitals and Wash ington, D. C, were above average. Few areas turned out to be "perfectly average." Only Ak ron, Ohio, and San Antonio, Tex., rated the "one in five." The study found that the percentage of fatties increas ed as you move inland from both coasts. San Francisco and Boston a shrinking capi tal, for example, averaged one adult out of 10 as obese. Most cities along the Pa cific Coast averaged below the national figure. But the study found that, with the excep tions of "cornfed" Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., no major city in the Midwest or Southwest could boast a below average weight. As a whole, the report showed, Southern and New England states are the lean est. Just why some states are fat and others skinny, the study didn't try to determine.

Many of the new collections contain harmonizing pieces rather than those which re peat the same design with twin-like monotony. , In a large contemporary group shown at the merchan dise mart, a walnut cabinet is equipped with cane doors while its companion table is Talk Given On Dollar "The Story Behind the Dol lar" was the title of a speech given by Miss Irene Barclay at the Medford Toastmistress club June 10.

Another collection, following the trend to blend traditional designs, combines elements of Adam, English regency, Ital ian provincial and Louis XV, and the result is no hodge podge but an harmonious ef fect. , - A designer and manufactur er teamed up to develop "in visible chairs" and "portrait chairs. . ... 'Invisible' Furniture The invisibles are translu cent shells, intended to "cre ate an open, uncrowded look in the room," the designer said, and to make the person seated appear to be suspended in space. Figures freely drawn in color and fused into the plas tic appear to be sitting in the portrait chairs. Snug-fitting, foam-padded covers can be snapped on over the shell rim of the chair to cover the art work. Furniture design is formal. Traditional styles are richly adorned, while the contempo rary features sculptured de tail and restrained decoration. Drawer pulls often nrovide the decorative note. They in clude round wood pulls with cutout grabs backed in black leather, the jewel-like variety of teal blue glass fused onto bronze, and oval cut-out grabs faced with black, white or beige vinyL Designers also have the an swer for furniture which will provide needed cupboard and shelf space but in the mini mum floor space: Climb the walls. Higher and Higher Collections at the American furniture mart included an in finite number of shelf and cabinet arrangements in stor age walls, stack - and - bunch cases of varying dimensions, and wall-hung desks and bars and vanities. Space -saving features ex tend even to lamps. They hang from wall pulleys, run up poles in threes or more, or drop from adjustable ceil ing cords. Oriental and early American are the style lead ers among table lamps. Beige, off-white, gold and charcoal still are favorite overall colors, but shades of lavender and violet are the new high fashion colors in curtain and drapery fabrics. A sheer print and companion papers features lavender com bined with the popular blue and avocado green.' Also in favor are the yellow-orange tones-marigold, burnt orange and apricot.

Price $456.95 Russians Like Dior Clothing By ALINE MOSBY Moscow- HIPD -Russian wo men decided today they loved Dior clothes but think the high fashion French models are something from another planet. "I ..loved the clothes but hated her," was a typical comment after Friday's open ing of the precedent breaking five day Parisian fashion show. Two thousand. Moscow women watched the 12 Chris tian Dior models display more than a hundred outfits. But the prices, starting at $100, hardly fit Russian pocket books any better than the clothes fit husky Soviet fig ures. Dior obviously picked the most conservative clothes in his salon for the Moscow show, but even then, many cocktail and evening gowns and dressy suits are too fancy for this conservative city, where neckties are scarce ven in the finest restaurants Yet the women obviously were pleased with such out fits as suits with widely stand away collars, widely pleated skirts, and filmy, flowing, chiffon short summer party dresses. They applauded every out fit and smiled and leaned over the railing in the audi torium of the downtown labor club to murmur about eve ning gowns sparkling with jewels. The models, however, brought many "nyets." "They're strange looking- just bones," a portly Russian matron declared. .
