Tuesday, Feb. 2, 1960 Club Marks Earhart Day Members of the Medford Zonta club commemorated Amelia Earhart day at their noon luncheon meeting Janu ary 28, at the Pioneer room of the Jackson hotel.

Mr Milligan told of the history and development of Mercy Flights. Incorporated. During the 10 years of operation, one of the biggest problems has been finances. The problem has been partially solved by the institution of a subscrip tion plan of pre-paid trans portation for medical emer gencies. Another problem has been the necessity to define the difference between actual emergency and convenience flights. Medical emergency flights to a hospital are cov ered by fie pre-paid plan Convenience flights from the hospital are available to mem bers at half the price of nor mal commercial rates. Guests at the luncheon were the speaker and Mrs. Parker Woods. Artist Designs Oriental Clothes For U.S. Women United Press International A Japanese artist who is campaigning to simplify her country's kimono styles has whipped up an Oriental at l home outfit for American . women. The set, designed by ; Myoko Yanagita, consists of si white robe with wide, flow- ing sleeves and buttoned side '. slits; tapered, calf-length pa - jama pants; and a narrow v- gown. The fabric is a new w tissue tricot resembling satin. Collectors of Ame r i c a n a -' have nothing on new sports- wear by St. Louis designers. " Prints are inspired by our na-:- tional heritage federal de- signs, symbols of the new re public, and trunk-lining pat terns of the 19th century. The prints are used in slacks, shorts and dresses. Looking for a tunic for your spring wardrobe? The answer is a white belt, say the Leath er Industries of America. There are all-white belts and white with a cuff of black leather just barely showing, or with the black folding halfway over the white. The classic look is a safe yet stylish one for relaxing during a ski week end. Con sider a black turtle neck sweater and slightly full white skirt or a bright plaid skirt with a blouse and lacey-knit bulky cardigan. Chamois is back in fashion after a 20-year retirement. A fresh, light accent for all greys and toasty browns, it is shown for spring in gloves, -belts, handbags, and - shoes. The chamois color is even used in jewelry and hand kerchiefs. If you're ambitious, keep in step with Paris styles by knitting a full-length coat with a giant collar. Mohair is the favorite yarn.

A third school will be opened in the spring in north Thailand. Miss Caulfield is on one of her periodic visits to her homeland; in other years, she has come to lecture to raise funds for her various proj ects. This time, it is for the publication of her story call ed "The Kingdom Within" Harpers and Brothers. "I wanted to make sure they didn't come out with some title like "Out of Darkness Into Light." I did not want anything to stress the pity or the wonder angle. I was taught at home and at school thai the blind have to take their place and be useful in the world." The author said that loss of sight was the result of an accident when she was an in fant. A physician upset a bot tle of caustic fluid which splashed across her face and into her eyes. All that is left of vision is the ability to dis tinguish light and shadow, she said. Her parents sent her to the Perkins Institute for the Blind in South Boston and the Over brook School for the Blind in Philadelphia. Miss Caulfield said that it was as a school girl that she. decided her fu ture lay in the Orient. An ar ticle on segregation of Japa nese children in California schools convinced her much should be done to furthering understanding between East and West. "But I also knew that I had to be self-sufficient . . . have some way of earning a liv ing," she said. She chose teaching and graduated with an English major from Co lumbia Teachers' College in New York. Teaching in the United States for seven years helped her pay her way to Japan in 1923, and more employment in Tokyo teaching English to Japanese. Eventually she also adopted a Japanese girl. Miss Caulfield said that af ter a lecture trip to the United States in 1937, war with Ja pan seemed inevitable, so she decided to leave Tokyo for Bangkok, taking along her daughter, now married to a Japanese. Her first project for the blind was well along when Pearl Harbor was bombed. The Japanese put her un der guard-she was one of four Americans left in Bangkok. But they gave her freedom to go ahead with operation of the school. 4- FOE Auxiliary To Choose Queen A queen and three prin cesses to reign over a Sweet heart ball will be selected at a meeting of the auxiliary to Crater Lake aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles, set for Thursday, February 4, at the lodge hall.

Let's see, three shillings is, er, 42 cents American, and six pence is about eight' cents. That's 50 cents. Say, that's cheap for such nice chopped meat. You learn that the meat market is not the place to ask for chicken or fish. For fish you go to the fishmonger's. You wonder why, and if you are like me, you ask. The butcher looks at you strangely and shrugs. "It's that way," he says. If it's chicken you want for Sunday, you hunt up what you think of as the "chicken store." But you don't call it that where anyone but your husband, grinning with out understanding your shopping troubles, can hear you. Separate Shops Bread? At the bakery. Buns and pies at the bakery, too, but for fancy cookies or rich pastry - the patisserie. Ice cream? the confectioner's shop. You long for a good old U.S. supermarket and turn to your American friends for help. The old timers in the dis placed American set tell you a few stores have started sell ing a variety of goods under one roof. Following directions, you find a store that boasts a "supermarket" sign. You are delighted to note that here are coffee, milk and cream, sugar, canned soups, bread, packaged cookies and cakes, even a meat counter. You think vaguely that something is missing, then remember you've been looking for a cart. There are none, and soon you know why. Each counter is operated like a separate store. You pick up bread and rolls, pay up, get the purchase wrapped (no paper bags un less you insist) and go to the next counter for canned goods. And so you juggle your way through the store. Buying meat is a challenge and requires an education, Cuts are entirely different and bear new names. You get a pot roast only after much finger - pointing and explain ing. The butcher calls it "top side beef." Sirloin steak is "entrecote," a word borrowed from the French. . Clothes No Problem Buying clothes is about the same in London as in any American city. Sizes run dif ferently, but quality seems better at least by price com parison. Nor -is there a lack of com modities. -The one thing you have expected to find scarc ity doesn't exist. " Great Britain is booming, and it shows in the waistline. No American need fear that move to London will mjin belt-tightening. Steaks are as thick and tasty as in the Uni ted States. Fruits and vege tables abound for those who can afford them, and any American, living on a dollar income, can. The American housekeeper finds the major difference in lack of conveniences. You can't even be casual about shopping hours. No corner delicatessen for that forgotten pound of butter or half pint of cream. With rare exceptions, food stores close at 5 or 6 p.m. on weekdays, at 1 p.m. Saturdays, and all day Sun days. If you forget anything on Saturday morning, you do without until Monday. But if you get to the shops on time and your feet hold out, you can live and eat well. And how many Americans can take a seven-penny bus ride to Westminster Abbey or see "My Fair Lady" from fourth row- center for $2.80?

You set the date! We visit you with dozens of smart samples! You se lect exactly the fabric and color! MIKE'S UPHOLSTERY CENTER 621 EAST JACKSON SP 2-2990 Auto Furniture Boat Aircraft it Medford League. More than 1,000 local Leagues in the nation parti cipated in the examination of national water policies. The 16 local Leagues in Oregon completed their study last fall and submitted their con clusions to the National Board in November, 1959. Oregon Leagues were in agreement with the three-point position now reached on a national basis. In the regional develop ment picture, the League be lives machinery is needed, ap propriate to each region, which will provide coordin ated planning and administra tion among federal, state and other agencies. Leagues in other sections of the nation are working for such coordin ating mechanisms as a North western Water and Related Lane Uses Compact and ex panding the scope of the Po tomac River Basin's Interstate commission. Columbia Basin Leagues have not reached agreement as to the type of machinery preferred in this area, but hope to announce their decision this spring. The League also believes procedures should be estab lished which provide informa tion and an opportunity for citizen participation in policy decisions affecting the direc tions which water resource development will take. National Findings On the national scene, the League finds that over-all long-range planning and de velopment of water resources require: (1) Better coordina tion and organization at the federal level; (2) Elimination of inconsistencies and con flicts in basic policy among federal agencies; and (3) Fed eral procedures which pro vide the Executive and Con gress with adequate data and a framework within which al ternatives may be weighed and intelligent decisions made. To implement the above position, the national League Board earlier announced its support of S2549, the Re sources and Conservation Act of 1960, on which hearings were held in Washington, D.C., January 28 and 29. This bill would require an annual audit by a Council of Conser vation Advisors and a report to Congress by the President on the nation's natural re sources which would focus public attention on water as well as on other needs. It would provide sound back ground for consideration oi water proposals by the Executive,' and by Congress through a Joint Committee. Third point of the League's position relates to cost-shar ing and is stated thusly: "The federal government has a nec essary role in financing water resources development, but state government, local gov ernments, and private users should share such costs, as far as possible, based on the ben efits received and the ability to pay."
