MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD-ORB. MONDAY. AUGUST 22. 1960 mm Women's News 0 Social Events 8 We're absolutely sure this suggestion is being made in ....... .... .c Su"6 iu mane it, anynow. roipourri suggests that political meetings, particularly those involving meals and important candidates, be stream-lined. The candidates are on a very tight schedule, and so are the busy people who go to hear them. If we had our way, there would be fewer Introductions of lesser candidates who are living in the, county and available all the time, and none of this business of manning wis ana that person for planning the meal, uecurHuiiB me iHDies ana running otner errands. Even though the luncheon given for Mrs. Maurine Neu berger irlday was far better than some we've attended throughout the years, many of those present were forced to leave before Mrs. Neuberger was through speaking. Ad vertised ior iz o ciock, it must have been 12:30 before Mrs. N. and her entourage arrived from Ashland, and ' then luncheon was served, etc. Before Mrs. Neuberger, who is a Democratic candidate for the United States senate, rose to speak it was almost 1 p.m. Potpourri and a co-worker from the news room, duo back at the office and yet anxious to hear Mrs. Neuberger, startled the honored guest and Tom Reeder, who was introducing her, by getting up right in their faces and tiptoeing away. Neither of us left, however, but took seats in the back of the room where we decided we could sneak out without disturb ing Mrs. Neuberger when she was in the middle of her talk. Why wouldn't it have been possible for the candidate to have been on hand when the guests began arriving a few minutes before 12, and have the waitresses serve each person as he was seated, and when the group seemed complete, have the program begin? We apologized to Mrs. Neuburgcr later when she visited the Tribune office, and the under standing woman said she lenew some persons had to hurry back to work and often had fretted herself over the time wasted trying to engineer meetings, meals and speeches all in to one hour or so. Mrs. Neuberger said she would gladly have spoken while the audience had luncheon, leaving her own meal until later. Under that arrangement, more voters would have been able to hear her entire speech. Potpourri was especially interested to hear Mrs. Neu berger speak about her "food for peace" plan. Like the candidate, we strongly believe that in some manner or the other, the United States must share more of her food with the rest of the world. To waste so much food, when so many millions are starving, has always seemed downright sinful. Mrs. Neuberger, who wore a peach colored shirtwaist type dress with a gorgeous while orchid presented by her Jackson county admirers, used a pair of the new "half" glasses while reading her notes before she rose to speak. This was the second pair we've seen. Last week Mrs. Kenneth Baker came in with a League of Women Voters' story, and put on a pair while at our desk. Mrs. Baker said her hus band bought them for her while he was in a teasing mood, but she likes them. These spectacles, with half-lensos to be used while read ing, or looking downward, may be very comfortable, but they give the wearer a strange look. Our table com panion, EO, said "It makes women look grandmotherish as if they were wearing spectacles on the end of their nose and peering over the top." Apology: When the make-up men put all the weddings, engagements, golden and silver wedding anniversary stories and the family reunions in Sunday's edition, there wasn't any room left. So Potpourri, along with several other stories nd six pictures, was left out. O.S. Mrs. Carolyn Bowles, Portland, (at left) national president of the Women's Council of iha National Association of Real Estate boards, was in Medford last week for pre sentation of a charier to the newly organiz ed Women's Council of the Medford Board of Realtors. The ceremony followed a din ner at Rogue Valley Country club. Pictured president. Installation Conducted For New Women's Group with Mrs. Bowles are (standing) Mrs. Mary Fasel, president of the new group, and (seat ed left to right) Mrs. Dollie Cornell, Beaver ton, vice-president of the Oregon council; Mrs. Dorothy Sayles, Poriland, Oregon pres ident; Miss Ann Rice, secretary of the Med ford council and Mrs. Mary Maas, vice- Overcast Sky, Chill Wind Accompany Festival Concert Ashland-Overcast skies and chill breeze cut attendance at yesterday's weekly concert of the Oregon Shakespeanean festival. Ten Festival singers, wear ing colorful, flowing robes, sat around a long refectory table. They sang lively Elizabethan rounds and folk songs. Susan Shively, who plays the old-style viol de gamba, and Rossme Taylor, luttst, pre sented a duet. These instru ments, which require much tuning, were barely audible in the fourth row of the amphi theater in spite of the use of an electric amplifier and much of the plaintive beauty of the number was lost. , Sheila Schuermann, mezzo- soprano, sang a group of songs by Edward Purcell and other English composers. Miss Schuerman has a pleasing voice, but one which lacks the volume required for an out door performance. She was accompanied on the harpsi chord by Mrs. Taylor. The program also contained vocal solos by Mrs. Taylor, who accompanied herself on tlie lute. Here again Mrs. Tay lor's voice and commentary were often inaudible to the audience. Her numbers in cluded a French -Canadian folk song particularly appro priate for the lute. One number which the au dience could hear and which was enjoyed was Henry Pur sell's "Trumpet Voluntary" played by Ted Lawson. He was accompanied by Stanley Plummer on the harpsichord. Tlie versatile Mr. Lawson sings, plnys the trumpet and is one of the festival actors. Mr. Plummer, who teaches organ at Whitman college in Walla Walla, Wash., and who Is considered an unusually fine harpsichord player, con cluded the program with Eliz abethan music. He included the Rondo from "John Bull," a rollicking tune, played a number of Bach selections and a Handel sonnto in "Jig" time. Mr. Plummer comment ed that the "harpsichord was the instrument for which both Bach and Handel wrote." The Women's Council of the Medford Board of Real tors became official Tuesday evening with the installation of officers and the presenta tion of the charter at Rogue Valley Country club. Mrs. Carolyn Bowles, Port land, national president of the Women's Council of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, was installing officer and presented the charter. H. O. Martin deliv ered the invocation. Mrs. Mary Fasel was in stalled as president; Mrs. Mary Maas, vice-president; and Miss Ann Rice, secretary, treasurer. Among guests introduced by Mrs. Fasel were several who were helpful in organiz ing the Medford group. They included Mrs. Dorothy Sayles, Portland, stale president of the Women's Council of the Oregon Association of Real Estate Boards; Mrs. Bessie Koth, president of the Spring field chapter; Mrs. Marcella O Bryant, president of the Springfield Board of Real tors; Mrs. LaRelle Falrchlld, vice-president of the Spring field chapter; and Mrs. Mary Williams, Monroe. Mrs. Boylcs announced that the Medford chapter was the second to be organized in Ore gon this year, and that mem bership in the state numbers 145 women brokers and sales women, the third largest state membership in the country. She explained that the real estate business is relatively new for women and that "they have been very success ful in this field as they are always interested in doing their best for their clients." Mrs. Sayles gave a resume of the Women' Council ac tivities, mentioning aims, ethics, efficiency and education. A demonstration of the work of the Medford Judo club was given at the meet ing by club members Thomas Ball, Larry Nolte, Michael Burns, Donald Smith and Donald Colbin. Mr. Ball ex plained judo, stressing spirit ual and intellectual as well as physical aspects. Mrs. Fasel announced that Mrs. Carolyn Bowles would be an honorary member of the Medford chapter. Chair men in charge of the evening's activities were Mrs. Mabel Henderson, Mrs. Ellen Bark- er, Mrs. Mary Maas and Mrs. Lorraine von der Hellen. Mrs. O. A.
