Report on Yoga Scheduled For NFA Meeting A report on the book "Yoga for Americans" by Indra Devi will be given at the Tuesday, November 1, meeting of the Natural Foods Associates at the Medford High school. The meeting will be held at 7:45 p.m. in Room 14. The report will be given by Mrs. Dee Grensky. Miss Devi was tbe first occidental woman to teach Yoga in India, the country of its ori gin. She currently directs the Studio of Yoga in Hollywood, Calif. Also on the program will be the second half of the re cording of Earl Nightingale's lecture "The Strangest Secret." At the last meeting 65 per sons attended to hear Mrs, Dorothy Roelf speak on "Rose Hips and Vitamin C. She explained that rose hips are the fruit of the rose which matures after the pet als have fallen off, They are considered the richest known source of Vitamin C. Mrs. Roelf recommended that persons take more than the 30 milligram daily mini mum requirement of the vita min, adding that indications of a shortage are numerous colds and frequent bruising, She mentioned that the far ther north of the equator one lives, the greater the require ment for Vitamin C. The rose hips that grow in the north ern regions contain a larger quantity of Vitamin C pro portionately, than do the more southern species, she said. The speaker explained that rose hips may be purchased locally in powder, liquid and tablet forms. Vitamin C may be obtained from green pep pers, citrus fruits, potatoes, and leafy vegetables. Five recipes were distribut ed to those attending for the preparation and use of wild rose hips which may be gath ered in this region. During the last half of the program Earl Nightingale's "The Strangest Secret" was played. TYCO I I. ... Ill I n.r.M fw, t I ....

They pass out pamphlets and bump er strips. However, in a previous campaign, son Chris, then seven, caused a considerable stir when, In a burst of en thusiasm, he went down the street pasting bumper stickers on cars without asking wheth er the owners were Demo crats or Republicans. In Mr. Porter's first cam paign, operating on a very slim budget, Priscilla was a one-woman promotion depart ment writing press releases and ads, answering mail and making bumper strips by hand in the evening hours. Now she sometimes chauf feurs her husband around the district, helps with correspon dence and in between tries to spend as much time as pos sible with the children. "The children are very proud of their daddy," Pris cilla said,' ''although some of them are old enough to under stand and are hurt by some of the mud thrown at him." ( Maintaining homes on op posite sides of the continent in Eugene and Washington, D.C., Is a very expensive proposition, she said, and also very trying. What she wants is always in the other home and when moving back and forth it seems that the wrong articles are always packed. The Porters have not found a satisfactory system for the children's education with the moving to and from Eugene. They have tried starting the children in the Eugene schools and moving them to Washing ton when congress begins. Another year Priscilla stayed in Washington with the chil dren while her husband re turned to Oregon. Currently the younger children are In school In Eugene but the old est, Don, Is staying with friends in Washington while in his junior year In high school. The children would much rather live in Oregon, Mrs. Porter said, but they are able to take advantage of oppor tunities In Washington that are available nowhere else. She concluded that life In Washington, except for the muggy weather, is much like living anywhere else. She is a den mother for Cub Scouts and a member of the PTA.

TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Mrs. Edwin H. Durno, wife of the Medford physician surgeon and Republican slate senator who is campaigning for election as congressman from the fourth district of Ore gon, posed for this picture during a party rally held in Med ford October 22. Mrs. Durno has been called the "most faith ful campaign trail partner on lhe Oregon political scene." Mrs. Edwin Durno Declared 'Faithful Campaign Partner7 Perhaps the most faithful "campaign trail partner" on the Oregon political scene is Mrs. Edwin R. Durno, Med ford, who recently made her eighth tour of the fourth con gressional district. Wife of the Republican state senator who launched his congres sional campaign last 'March, she accompanies her candidate-husband on his intensive swings through the seven counties of the district, keep ing pace with a rigorous schedule of speeches and per sonal appearances. "We take off on the sta tion wagon with our suitcases -and my coffeepot-and travel for over three weeks at a time," said the energetic, gregarious Evelyn Durno, who counts the opportunity to meet , "so many interesting people" the best part of her campaign activities. En route, the Medford housewife serves as chauffeur and unofficial secretary, in addition to at tending all political engage ments. Though life has drastically changed, Mrs. Durno points out that her role as assistant Costume Dance Planned Monday A costume dance will be held Monday, October 31, by the Department of Oregon Ladies auxiliary of Veterans of World War I and the Fifty Plus club at the theater at the Veterans Administration do miciliary at White City.

A registered nurse, she was literally at his side for 30 years as an anesthetist for 98 per cent of his surgical cases. After his election to the state senate, she continued to share his interests by attend ing the legislative sessions regularly. In fact, a multiple anniversary in the winter of 1959 summed up their indus trious life together as they celebrated 30 years of marri age, 30 years of medicine, and Sen. Durno's 60th birthday-all during Oregon's cen tennial year. Of more imminent interest is the rapidly, approaching date of November 8,, which marks the date of Mrs. Durno's birthday and the date of the national election, a coinci dence which could be signifi cant indeed. 1 'Come As You Are' Breakfast Held By Woman's Society Yreka-Members of all the circles of the Woman's So ciety of Christian Service of the Yreka Methodist church held a "come -as you are" breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Clements, Thursday, October 26.
