The visitors are pictured here with their granddaughter, Ethel An drews, 9, student at Rooiarelt school. The Spraggs, who are spending several weeks here, are traveling throughout southern Ore gon and northern California with their son as he makes business trips to various cities. He is district manager of the Greyhound company. Mr. Spragg, a native of Worcester shire, points out that it is a fruit growing area, similar to the Rogue valley, and that it is known for a pear drink called "Perry" .which resembles the American "hard cider." The Spraggs are much impressed with the nation's super-highway system and with motels, not generally found in their country. However, they prefer the British television system, which permits few advertisements and these only between programs; none are permitted to interrupt a program. Proposed Legislation Discussed for Nurses A summary of proposed legislation which would affect registered nurses was given at the last meeting of District 4, Oregon Nurses association, held at Rogue Valley Memo rial hospital. The speaker was Mrs. Johnnye Schick, Port land, president of the association. Purpose of the proposed legislation, to be introduced in the 1961 session of the Ore gon legislature,' is to "en courage the adoption of an orderly procedure for estab lishing desirable employment policies' and practices," Mrs. Schick said; This would be ac complished through the demo cratic' process of collect! e bargaining in which the em ployees have a voice in de termining the conditions af fecting their employment, the speaker added. All employees of hospitals and other health carj facili ties would be covered, Mrs. Schick said. Facilities main tained by county, state or fed eral governments would not be included, she explained. The Oregon Nurses associa tion cannot ask tor legislation which protects only the in terest of professional nurses, Gold Hill Circle To Meet on Friday Gold Hill The Golden circle, womens group of the Gold Hill Christian church, will meet at the home of the minister, Miss Jean Cunning ham, Friday, Decembers 9 at 7:30 p.m. . .

Two Clubs Set Dances Star Promcnaders and the Applcgaters Square Dance clubs have planned dances for Saturday, December 10.

Oreaon As- nidation of Hospitals to rec ommend that the individual hospitals in Oregon do not bargain with the nurses in their employ. The Oregon Nurses asso ciation bill provides simply that the employer of the nurse must sit dawn with her rep resentative and bargain in good faith toward reaching a binding agreement regarding employment standards," Mrs. Schick stressed. "It provides that if an agreement cannot be reached, a fact finding in quiry shall be made so that there can be a complete re view of the situation and that findings of fact be published to the general public in the county where the employer is located. The bill does not force the adoption of any pro posals by either party. It merely provides that the nurse shall be respected and recognized as a professional person and an employee, ant mat sne snail be given a cour- teous hearing and serious con sideration of her requests. "There are no laws affect ing Oregon nurses that quire their employers to ne gotiate with regard to the working conditions," Mrs Schick concluded White City A large group of bridge players attended the last monthly master point session of Camp White Vet erans Bridge club.

Car eer Pauley ton hopes it continues to be. He is presi dent of the company which has exclusive rights to making the Raggedy Ann doll, a soft nd cuddly cloth toy which is almost as much of a classic in the nursery as the teddy bear. Ann's in the News In the last few days, pic tures of three-year-old Caro line out walking with her father and pushing a carriage with a rag doll in it, and the United Press International close-up of Caroline with daddy bringing up the rear holding a rag doll, have hit front pages across the coun try. Which, says Carton, prom lses a whole new interest in the red-haired toy inspired by a series of books for children. Maybe not a big boom this year, says Carton. "It s- too close to Christmas and most stores long since have stocked up. But wait 11 next year, Incidentally, lest John F, Kennedy Jr. be neglected Carton has dispatched him Raggedy Andy, brother of Ann. .

S. Departments of Agricul ture and Interior.) What reaction does the Christmas season arouse in Amer icans? Do thev look forward to it as one of the most im portant observances of the Christian religion? Do they think of it as a joyful time when relatives and friends can be together and please one another with thoughtful and generous gifts? Is it becoming more and more a time of overwork, tensions, worry about how much to spend and on whom, and a time when hundreds of- people are killed in accidents? Vance Packard, , who has become known as a "social critic" of Americans through his books, the latest of which are "The Status Seekers' and "The Waste Makers," says it is all of these. Mr. Packard has broken into print again, this time with "The Christmas Wreckers" in. Redbook mag azine. He says that "the toll the Christmas season takes in tension and nervous exhaustion-is beginning to be noticed by health authorities and the collectors of nation-wide sta tistics. ' ; V "A West Coast psychiatrist has written a paper on Christ mas neurosis. (He found that depressions are frequently as sociated with Christmas.) A publication of the American Medical association discussed at length the problem of coping with Christmas tensions. A spokesman for the National As sociation of Mental Health says that the 'Christmas blues' are a well-recognized phenomenon. "The impact of Christmas-generated tensions, quarrels and depressions can be seen in such grim tabulations as the homicide rate and the accident toll. Every uecemc-er, accord ing to fieures compiled by the Metropolitan Insurance com pany, the number of murders reaches a new high for the year. More people are killed In auto accidents on Christmas day than on any other major holiday, even including New Year s eve. ; Gathering material for his article, Mr. Packard asked men and women if they were looking forward with pleasure to the coming of Chrismas. It seems that most of those inter viewed adopted a tone of resignation and some had a feeling "that bordered on dread." They pointed out that the sheer length of the holiday season is wearing, with some house wives starting their holiday preparation in September. Many buy their Christmas cards In the summer time, others shop the year around for presents and as December 23 appracnes, the newspapers, radios, magazine:, and other, advertising media remind us of the few shopping days left until unrisi-mas. A Frenchwoman pointed out that in her country, Christ mas is for children; adults seldom exchange presents, while in the United States, adults often give presents to other adults they hardly know. Some concluded that Christmas has become a season of obligation, and not a season of joy and festivity. Mr. Packard concludes that there is nothing essentially Christmasy. or un-Christmasy in spending money and be lieves that how much or how little is spent is actually beside the point. He concludes that everyone must solve the problem of what to do about Christmas in his own way, and quit doing, or begin to do, whatever will be the most satisfactory for him or her. Sounds fine in' writing, doesn't it. But it's a strong soul who can just announce that this year he will send no cards, buy no presents, stay home from church (or start going again) or in some other way reverse the trend and buck the tide in his own part of the social stream. O.S. Washington - 0IPD - Thrifty food shoppers will be able to find a fairly wide array of their favorite foods at .arkets this week end. Wintry weath er has not yet cut down sup plies of many items. As for meats, beef is sun plentiful at most markets, and featured at favorable prices are roasts, steaks, and ham burger, to name a few choice cuts. Pork continues -fairly abundant at many markets, with hams, loin roasts, and chops available at budget prices. Lamb is plentiful at some markets across tne country, and represents a good buy. In the poultry line, broiler-fryers and turkeys con tinue good buys. Fruit bins offer a wide choice, such as grapefruit. oranges, lemons, limes and tangerines. Also apples, cran- Charles Veysey', president of F A O Schwarz, the famous toy store in New York, said that "Raggedy Ann and her brother are considered clas sics of the toy world." "They're not a big item, he said, "but they're steady, We've sold to the various Ken nedys for years." The Toy Manufacturers of tne USA said rag dolls make up a "fairly small but con sistent" percentage of all doll sales, which average between 20 and 29 million units a year. Caroline's type of doll Is at least 35 years old, making it next to the teddy bear as one of the oldest toys which still is a staple. The true Raggedy Ann is based on a series of books by John Gruelle, an Indianapo lis-born writer and artist who started Ann In 1918. He died in 1938, said Bobbs-Merrlll, the publisher which now puts out the Ann series. Book sales have totaled in the billions oyer the years, said the publisher, who also leases on a royalty basis rights to make the dolls, rugs, color ing books, cutout books, cur tains, bedspreads and other items for the nursery. Ann is a heroine never caught in any violent or evil situations; everything comes up rosy for her in the world of fantasy. - " -. "I think the doll will go on and on," said Carton. "Chil dren' love her because she's cuddly and soft. Mothers and grandmothers buy her for children for nostalgia's sake. They remember when she was their favorite doll."

Ashland An armchair tour of France conducted by Dr, Leon Mulling carried mem bers of Ashland Study club from the Riviera to Paris when they met Monday after noon at the home of Mrs. Mar cus Woods, 120 High street. For an hour the Southern Oregon college speech- profes sor shared his experiences and commented upon the types of Decolletage Fashionable For Shoes 'Decolletage" has come to after-five footwear. The vamp has disappeared on a "shoe with a view." It consists of an inner sole and a gold kid or magenta outer walking sole attached to a tapered heel. To put the shoe on, slip the inner sole into hosiery, then snap it onto the . outer sole through the stocking. .The shoe is sold with gold sparkle stockings and gold nail polish. (I. Miller.) 4 . The "long short" coat, good last year, is even better this winter for the college set. It's done In fur - real or fake. It's easy to bring children's dresses up to date. Add puffed sleeves, widen the collar, and trim the hem with yards and yards of rick rack. In style are period dresses such as Vic torian, Early American, Gib son girl, Provincial, old West, and Tyrolean. 4 The high waist is made for the figure with a spare tire, says designer Mollle Parnis. Choose a dress with a draw- string or soft gathers at the raised waist and with fullness at the front of the skirt. If the bustline is large, the high line should be placed a little above the base of the bust and should be gathered. Another way to disguise the ample figure is to buy a size larger dress and take in the back and shoulders, Miss Parnis said. Especially flattering are Grecian drapery styles, she added. , 1 In Paris, sweater girls are wearing rose printed pull overs. Each rose is complete with stem, leaves and thorns. Flowers Hare Sweet Tooth New York - WTO -George Cothran, a florist and floral arrangement expert, suggests adding a little sugar to the water in which you park the cut posies. Cothran says that addition of aspirin does not add to the life of the blossoms. One other tip: to prevent the stems of cut flowers from smelling after a few hours in water, add a little laundry bleach or detergent. American tourists he encoun tered abroad during his 6 months sabbatical leave. Description and pantomime made vivid the chronic corn- plainer: the know-it-all; the we-have-it-better type; the haggler; the female vaquero; the professional wolf, and fi nally tne ignoramus. "One needs a truly liberal education to get the most out of travel," declared Dr. Mull ing, adding, "European travel can either be an adventure or a bore, depending upon one's background and viewpoint. In many ways travel is the equal of a college education." Colored slides brought the beauty of the French seacoast and countryside; gardens and cathedrals; palaces and casi nos. Remnants of the ruins of an old Roman area; turreted castles surrounded by moats; the famous Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and Notre Dame were but a few of the inter esting pictures shown by the returned traveler. The afternoon program was concluded with the customary selected subject which was given by Mrs. Wllmer M. Po- ley . She reviewed several articles describing recent archeological ' discov eries under the ruins of an an cient church on one of the Shetland Islands. Mrs. Gordon Pickell will be hostess for the December 19 meeting to be in the Christ mas theme. Mrs. William B. McCullough will give the pro gram. . . 1 , Specialist Outlines Winter Care of Feet Chicago - (UPD - Feet need extra care in winter, says a foot authority. "During the winter, feet cannot get the same amount of air they receive at other times of the year," Dr. Wil liam Scholl explained. Even shoe boots make feet perspire excessively, he said. Women shoppers should carry an ex tra pair of shoes to inter change with boots while browsing in stores. Boots should not be worn more than a few hours at a time without being inter changed with shoes or slipped off for a while." he said. He also advised bathing feet daily and using a sooth ing balm to stimulate circula tion. Walking barefoot in the house even in winter, is another good stimulant for the feet. "Don't make a practice of going to sleep with socks on, even when the sheets are cold," Schroll warned. Stock ings constrict the feet which should be "air-free" during the night. Fresh port should be loosely wrapped in waxed paper and stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
