Friday and Saturday we were a little sorry for the valley wanderers who have traveled to Arizona, California and Nevada In recent days seeking the sunshine. It may have been sunny in the south, but it was sunny and warm in Medford, too. When the thermometer is in the high 70' in March in the Rogue valley, when the willow trees are billowing froths of palest green, when the golden forsythia practically glows and when the violets are blooming in sweet carpets, who wants to be in Arizona or southern California? The shop and newsroom1 had a visitor last week a printer who left the valley about three years ago to join relatives in Arizona. The visitor was tanned the darkest brown imag inable and was filled with wondrous stories Xf the desert and the mountains and the scenery of Southwest country. He said he had been enjoying the fishing very much, particularly in Lake Mead the artificial lake formed when Hoover dam was built on the Colorado. "Fishing in Lake Mead is an angler's paradise," said our friend. "I never found a body of water anywhere else with so many fish. Why, there's more fish in Lake Mead than in all Oregon and Washington put together." And then do you know what he said? "I like Oregon I like what you have here. I don't like the desert nearly as much as the hills and mountains and rivers of Oregon." So there. The Rev. Thomas McCamant deserves praise for his skill ful moderating of the meeting Thursday nignt of the Medford Human Rights council. When discussing an explosive subject like the matter of racial discrimination, speakers may tend to become overly excited and tempers sometimes flare. The minister kept the meeting flowing along, saw that everyone was given a chance to speak if he wished to ex press his views or offer an opinion, and reminded one who spoke more than anyone else that it was not fair he should monopolize the meeting. In spite of the subject, a note of humor crept into the meet ing from time to time, and it was welcome. A spontaneous laugh eases the tension. The New Republic last week wrote ' about the protests by Negroes in the south against lunch counter segregation. The magazine spoke of the reasonableness of the goal, point ing out that the Negroes are expected to buy the merchan dise which these stores offer, but then are not allowed to go sit down at a food counter. The New Republic re-printed an editorial from the Rich mond News-Leader which reads: "Many a Virginian must have felt a tinge of wry regret at the state of things as they are, in reading of Saturday's 'sitdowns' by Negro students in Richmond stores. Here were the colored students, in coats, white shirts, ties, and one of them was reading Goethe and one was taking notes from a biology text. And here, on the sidewalk outside, was a gang of white boys come to heckle, a ragtail rabble, slack-jawed, black-jacketed, grin ning fit to kill, and some, God save the mark, were waving the proud and honored flag of the southern states in the last war fought by gentlemen. It gives one pause."

Make a slight ad justment in the stitch length or in the upper tension. Use a normal length of stitch and a loose top tension, or a long stitch with normal tension. Stitch once on the seamline and again 14 inch away, to ward the seam edge. Pull the under threads to draw up the gathers. Cheese and Fruit - For cheese and fruit trays, team up slices of Cheddar, Muenster or Swiss, wedges of Camembert, Brie, Gouda, Edam, G r u y e r e, Blue or Roguefort, cubes of cream or Neufchatel with pears, apple slices, grapes, orange sections, pineapple spears. Dip cut fruit in lemon juice to prevent darkening. Dates, nuts and figs are fine cheese-fruit tray items that are seldom offered, cer tain to be liked. fix IL Sub-Ten Sizes 3 to 6 -AAA to C White Lustre Calf 995 So fashion-right . . . so youthfully sirurt , . just two of th many portrayals by th genius of shoo da sign rs.
