Women's News Social Events MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. t; Portland Tuesday we put out a washing, ironed, made A batch of jelly, made two trips down town and otherwise .tried to put everything in order before leaving for Wash ington on vacation. We kept saying that after a while, we'd find time to dash off a column for Pal Peg, who will be 'doubling in brass this week keeping an eye on both her beat and the women's page. , But the day flew by and it was time to pack and leave .for the bus and still no writing done. So, we decided to liunt up a typewriter as soon as we arrived in Portland and wnat Better place man a newspaper omcet 11115 is u urr ftonian typewriter and bless me, a Royal our favorite U . II tt J a lin ti rel nnill m an uio uw to use one, and he obligingly chose a desk which he thought would not be in use for a time. ' We're sorry to contradict Potluck, but we didn't tootle way in The Doll on this portion of our vacation we follow ed the Greyhound advertising advice you know, "take the bus and leave the driving to us." As we boarded our startled yes beheld two young men covered with scars and wounds .which looked quite recent; each was draped, sound asleep, .ever two seats. Unable to contain our curiosity we inquired of a neatly dressed soldier "what happened to them?" "They totaled out a little sports car," he answered. - . The Jackson county delegation to the National Education association convention came back from Los Angeles jubilant 'over the naming of Ewald Turner from Pendleton as presi dent-elect of this huge organization. Teacher Maxine had bardly arrived in town before she called The Tribune to J-eport his success. His election was a close one his margin of victory was little more than 200 votes. Teacher Maxine called to nd that this is only the second time in the history of this 103-year-old organization that pave oeen president, iwam 1 urner was nrsi president 01 me Department of Classroom Teachers of NEA, and in his ca pacity as junior past president of the department, is now in Hawaii for meetings and will then go to Amsterdam for the World Confederation of teachers. J- Potpourri became acquainted with this interesting young teacher (seems like Maxine said he is less than 40 years old) jwhen we went to NEA convention in Philadelphia in 1957. He has enormous charm and a great capacity for friend ship, is a sincere, devoted church worker and impresses One with a sense of integrity. A native of Missouri, he taught in that state five years before coming to Oregon and Pendle ton. He teaches crafts in Pendleton Junior High school. Teacher Maxine, past president of Oregon Education as sociation, feels that she has had a part in Ewald s election, for she made his nominating speech when he ran for the vice presidency of the Department of Classroom Teachers, and was elected, and again when he ran for the presidency of ihe Department. For one of these occasions Teacher Maxine wrote a parody on "Hiawatha", calling it "Ewald-awatha" during which she recited his background and accomplishments. At Los Angeles she revised the verses to suit his candidacy for the NEA presidency, and with other Oregon teachers dra matizing the lines, read it for the Pacific Northwest break fast. Ihdian headdresses, signal fires (made with dry ice in bowl of water) war whoops and other Indian foofaraw made the skit a rousing success, she reported.- With a little maneuvering, Potpourri managed to choose M seat comrjanion for the bus trin from EtieenA tn Portland.

Mrs. Hendrickson ex plained that for the most part they were founded by im migrants to this country who came from the same section of Europe and spoke the same laneuaee. Some of these churches used languages other than English as late as 30 years ago, she explained. Gradually, the task of combining has gotten underway. Illustrating the smallness of her branch one of the Evangelical divisions, Mrs. Hendrickson said that out of more than 3,000 women delegates to the coming convention, her church would have but 30 women. Twenty years ago when we moved to southern Oregon, the trip to Portland from Medford by bus took about 12 hours. Last night it took but seven. The coaches have been improved, and in many instances the depots have been modernized.

I Returns Mrs. Myrtle Doty, 18 Haw thorne avenue, Medford, re cently returned from a six- week visit with relatives in the San Mateo-Palo Alto bay area in California. On return ing home, the local woman brought her granddaughter who lives In Wood Acre, Calif. ., Old Georgetown House Restored for Bachelor Br ROSE McKEE Washington, D.C. - Robert K. Graj, secretary of the Cabinet, has many White House responsibilities that contribute to the running of the government. But in the neighborhood in which he lives, the White House official probably is better known for his contribu tion to its improvement. Mr. Gray and a couple of his friends bought a small, old, tumble-down house in the historic Georgetown sec tion of the capital about a year and a half ago and re modeled it In an unusual way. The project was mainly a hobby and the house was sold after its reconstruction. Mr. Gray said he "enjoyed it up to the point of selling." The house, which dates back to 1792 and is only 14 feet wide and 17 feet long, once was used as slave quarters. Although Georgetown i s full of restored houses, Mr. Gray and his friends planned their remodeling project it) a different way. It seemed to us, Mr. Gray told the National Association of Home Builders, "that most of the remodeling had been done to suit women. Our idea was to make this into a house a bachelor could feel at home in." . Bachtlor Horn Mr. Gray, one of Washing ton s most popular bachelors, said they had the living room redone to expose the hand- hewn oak beams in the ceil ing. A raised Colonial fire place was built in the center of the room as a divider.. All the interior walls were panel ed in Philippine mahogany except for one bedroom, which they did in rough bur lap. To give the front of the house something of a tavern look, they used old bottle glass from England in the windows. The house has a living room and kitchen downstairs, two bedrooms upstairs. Use of louvered doors and a new stairway with an open area beneath it, help make the house seem larger than it is, its remodelers believe. They apparently were suc By-laws were approved by the Medford Board of Real tors. The Women's Council was established in 1939 and now has more than 1,800 members. Mrs. Fasel said that active membership in the Council is open to all saleswomen and women brokers In the Medford area who are members of the Medford Board of Realtors. Associate members from lend ing agencies and title com panies belonging to the local Board are also invited to be come members. A no-host dinner will be held by the Council Tuesday, July 12, at the Jackson hotel to which all qualified women are invited to attend. The event will start at 7 p.m. fol lowed by an 8 p.m. business meeting. Reservations may be made before July 11 by call ing Mrs, Fasel at SPrlng 3-8317.

Morris Bough ner, worthy grand patron of the grand chapter of Oregon, gave the benediction. Mrs. Wyles Berry, past matron, and Russell Fair, past patron, were the installing officers, assisted by Mrs. Ray Anders, cessful in designing a home for a bachelor for while "most of the (buying) prospects were women, it was a bachelor who bought it." Remove "Eyotort"' Mr. Gray and his colleagues in remodeling the house live in the same neighborhood and, while they do know the man who bought their house be cause the transaction was handled by an agency, they have the satisfaction of know ing they removed "a neighbor hood eyesore." The White House official currently lives in a rented house, into which he moved recently. It is much like the one he owned in the same area except for the garage. In the former house, the over head garage door did not move-and he used the garage as a dining room. A window effect with "built-in" scenery just inside the garage door, gave his dinner guests the impression they were looking outdoors when actually they were not. As secretary of the Cabinet, Mr. Gray is responsible for the preparation of agenda for Cabinet meetings, for insuring appropriate doc umentation. for drafting the "Presidential Record of Action," and for following up on implementa tion of Presidential decisions made at cabinet meetings.
