Poor Losers
Many Entries, Large Attendance
A unique idea in art shows
was tried in the valley yes
terday, and the idea caught
on. The first annual Poor Los
ers show was held in the Med
ford hotel with works enter
ed by 32 persons of various
ages. They included artists,
student artists, those who
paint for fun and recreation
and those who just wanted to
support the venture.
The Poor Losers show was
the brain child of Robertson
E. Collins, who enlisted the
aid of James Ragland in stag
ing the event.
. The men, both devoted
members of Southern Oregon
Art association, decided that
such a show would be a lot
of fun - which it was - would

current first area competition
show at Rogue gallery, a
juried exhibit, and would earn
money to support Rogue gal
lery, which it did. From entry
and voting fees, enough was
netted to bring a first-class
show to Rogue gallery at some
future date, they reported to
day. There were judges for yes
terday's show, too, three five-year-old
boys. Interestingly
enough, these small boys,
Scott Danielson, Brent Bos
worth and Todd Ragland,
chose as their favorite of the
large number of entries an
abstraction painted by Victo

sidcred their choice signifi
cant, since there were many
landscapes, flower pictures
and other works which one
might have thought small
boys would have preferred.
Those attending the show
voted for their favorite works,
and Robert Bosworth, father
of Brent, won this vote.
The three small judges also
selected "the one they hated
most" and this dubious honor
went to a tiny portrait by
"Benjo," otherwise known as
Ben Trowbridge Jr., chairman
of Rogue Gallery's exhibition
committee.
Others who entered works
in the show were Marti Daw
kins, Ashland; Jean Danielson,
Harry Danielson, Claire M.
Rickard, Helen Donkcr,
"Nclla," Dorothy Monroe, Co

Bren H. Starcher, Makiko Doi,
Ashland, Elizabeth Sheffield,
Rogue River; Alice Rutter,
Charles Forrester, Ashland,
and the two sponsors.
Some of the entries which
attracted the most attention
had been made especially for
the show and provided an out
let for the creators' sense of
humor and imagination. One
of these, improvised from
wire and paper by "Dila Dali'
had a paragraph-long title and
another, a sculpture made
from egg shells, was entitled
The Naked and the Dead
and the medium was listed as
"processed calcium.
Charles Forrester, Ashland,
whose busts of Shakespearean
actors are displayed in the
Ashland Shakespearean Festi
val theater, and who made
play sculpture for the Med
ford city parks, entered an
exceedingly large 'Ifun" work
so large it had to be dis
played on the sidewalk outside
the "Gallery de Rejection."
Entitled "Fowl," Forrester
had used a barrel for the
bird's body, rough boards for
the legs, wings and neck and
the head, was a bunch of
mistletoe. Of this, one viewer
exclaimed, "You know, it
really has feeling."
Most of the entries, how
ever, were the honest efforts
of men and women interested
in various phases of art, and
a number of them were sold
during the afternoon. 1 The
Messrs. Collins and Ragland
were urged to make the show
an annual event and a number
of the artists . frankly said
they enjoyed entering their ef
forts in this type of show
whereas they could never
summon up enougli courage to
enter a serious show. O.S.

Christmas Cards Make
Pretty Home
New York-Christmas cards
are arriving with almost every
mail delivery. You open and
read them with pleasure-and
then wonder what to do with
all these beautiful cards, so
that their colorful designs
won't be lost sight of during
the holidays.
The best solution, of course,
is to make them a part of your
home decoration scheme tor

Santa Visits
Ashland Club
Ashland-Santa Claus made
an unscheduled personal ap
pearance In Ashland Wednes
day night when he visited
Wesley House just as members
of the Business and Profes
sional Women were finishing
their Christmas refreshments
From his well-filled pack
he distributed gifts to each of
me zt) club members and
guests before hurrying back to
"finish up" at his toy shop
before the Big Night arrives.
Hostesses for the annual
party were executive board
members who served refresh
ments from a candlelit tree
centered table. A blazing log
in the fireplace and candles on
the mantle and in the windows
gave a festive air to the eve
ning's entertainment.
A group of Christmas duets,
sung by Barbara Ward and
Karen Baker of Ashland
Junior High school, and ac
companied at the piano by
Mrs. Adelaide Spencer, key
noted the holiday program.
Charades and games were
enjoyed during the rest of the
evening and no business ses
sion was conducted. Mrs.
Louise Myers and Mrs. Hodie
Jacobs, president and vice
president of the club, were in
charge of the Christmas pro
gram. ,

ingenuity, the Christmas cards
you receive can be used to
create a sparkling holiday at
mosphere in your home.
You can begin by tucking a
brightly-hued card into the
dark green of the holly wreath
outside your door. Preferably
one with "Christmas Greet
ings" in large letters. This will
provide a happy welcome for
all visitors.
Use on Tree
Your Christmas tree is an
other excellent means of dis
playing many of the attractive
cards you receive. Some of the
novelty Christmas cards are
actually, shaped and colored
line cnristmas tree orna
ments, and there's always a
few of the cut-out novelty San
ta Claus cards and others that
will serve this same purpose.
An excell. iit bp-'- ' i-Y for
pinning up Christmas i...Js as
they arrive can be made out
of almost any drapery. Or you
can attractively arrange them
on a folding floor screen, us
ing red headed thumb tacks.
A few silver stars sprinkled
here and there will add a de
lightful novelty touch and en
hance the entire display. .
Or Coffee Table
If you happen to have a
glass top coffee table, Christ
mas cards held under the glass
by cellophane tape will pic
ture a winter wonderland.
The same cheerful effect may
be gained by using the mirror
in your living room.
Here's another thought-lry
starting a parade of Christmas
cards across your window-sill
for passers-by to see. Pick out
a diminutive Santa in his
reindeer-drawn sleigh to lead
the way. Familiar Christmas
symbols such as church bells,
glowing candles, and small
groups singing Christmas
carols are very appropriate in
these window parades.
As a special touch, place
several of the most beautiful
Christmas cards you recelve-
those with religious scenes of
the Christ Child or the Ma
donna - in an appropriate pic
ture frame, It's a wonderful
way to keep the spirit of
Christmas in your home all
year long.
Add-a-Card
You can also develop an
"add - a - card" Christmas art
exhibit. Secure some of the
new shiny black electrical ad
hesive tape. Affix lengths of
this tape to a molding .or to
the valance of a Venetian
blind, with the adhesive side
turned out, and then, as your
Christmas cards arrive you
can quickly mount them on
the black tape so that even
tually you'll have several
rows of cards on display. To
hold the mounted cards in
place you can affix the tape
to the floor or to the bottom
of the Venetian blind.
For final touches, of
course, you'll always want to
have lots of cards on the
mantlcpiece or attractively ar
ranged on the piano, and in
other locations around the liv
ing room.

day decorations and to cele
brate the Christmas season

metal mesh plaques and dried
arrangements. Copper spray
gave the final touch of un
usual decoration.
The day's guest speaker,
Mrs. Audrey Sims of Medford,
demonstrated a wide variety
of arrangements, making use
of such unorthodox materials
as tin cans, egg cartons, flash
bulbs and brush bristles. She
fashioned table trees from
feathers and chenille, flocked
toothpicks, pink net, styro
foam and endless glitter.
Work was suspended at
noon while the club members
enjoyed a luncheon and gift
exchange around their lighted
tree. Patients at the mental

hristmas Benefit Party
Given by University Women
' . .... ... - . . h . i-ri resDectivcly.
Christmas was In the air
at a benefit card party given
by the Medford branch, Amer
ican Association of University
Women, Wednesday night at
the Red Cross building.
Proceeds from the party
were applied to the branch's
51,130 quota for their national
organization's new headquar
ters building in Washington,
D.C.
A majority of the quota has
already been raised by the
local branch from various
fund-raising projects. The new
building was authorized at
the 1957 convention in Boston
with cost estimated at $1,500,
000. Based on a membership
of about 145,000 women, per
captla quota was $10, to be
raised preferably by volun
tary contributions rather than
by assessment.
Although no time limit was
set, association leaders hoped
the money could be raised in
about three years. The build
ing is known as the American
Association of University
Women's Educational Founda
tion Center.
The new center will be ded
icated at the next national
AAUW convention June 19 to
23, 1961, in Washington, D.C.
The conventions meet bien
nially. The Educational Foundation
handles all research activities
of AAUW, the management of
the numerous fellowship
funds and international grants
and operates the Center. The
object of the Foundat' n is to
enable the organization to re
ceive large gifts or grants
from other Foundations or in
dividuals which would be tax
exempt to carry out research
projects and then publish the
findings.
At the recent card party
travel posters, to each of
which was added "Merry
Christmas" in the language of
the country illustrated, dec
orated the walls along with
swags and medallions of me
tallic paper in many colors,
Mrs. George Johns and Mrs.
William McLaren were co-
chairmen for the party. Table
cloths were made by a com
mittee headed by Mrs. Ver
non Gebhard. Mrs. Jack W,
Love made the centerpieces,
and Mrs. Robert K. Hood was
in charge of the posters. Serv
ing and clean-up were under
the direction of Mrs. Glenn E.
