Tudor Guild Members Plan
Supper, Style
A buffet supper in the Cae
sar room of the Mark Antony
hotel, Ashland, will precede
a style show at the Varsity
theater planned by Tudor
guild Wednesday, March 1.
The supper is set for 8:30 p.m.
and the style show . at 8:30
p.m. ., '
Reservations for the supper
may be made by calling Mrs.
Sheridan Scott, SPring 3-4937,
or Mrs. Harry Skerry, MUr
dock 9-2951.
The committee arranging
the style show states that it
will be "snappy and fast mov
ing" in order not to delay the
added attraction of "Mon On
cle" which stars the celebrat
ed European actor, Jacques
Tati. The style show will have
spring and summer fashions.
Mrs. William Dawkins, mod
el chairman and commentator,

Meat Cookery
Research has proven that a
constant low temperature pro
duces juicier, more tender
meat with less shrinkage than
the old method of roasting in
which the meat was first scar
ed in a very hot oven and
then roasted at a reduced tem
perature for the remainder of
the period.
Yes, we know we ve talked
about this for years, but there
still are (otherwise) good
cooks who start with high
temperatures and shrink the
roast unnecessarily.

Republicans Hear Talk
On Reorganization Plan
Some phases of Gov. Mark
O. Hatfield's recommendation
for reorganization of the ex
ecutive branch of Oregon's
government were reviewed in
Medford yesterday by Travis
Cross, his assistant and press
secretary. Mr. Cross spoke for
the February meeting of Med
ford unit, Oregon Federation
of Women's Republican clubs.
Mr. Cross prefaced the re
view by pointing out that the
reorganization plan has grown
out of the "Little Hoover"
commission and a directive by
the 1959 session of the state
legislature 'ordering the gov
ernor to prepare the reorgan
ization plan.
The speaker said the com
pleted plan incorporates many
of the ideas of the Little Hoov
er commisssion, with a few
of Gov. Hatfield s own. In ad
dition, a reorganization ad
visory committee, made up of
both Democrats and Republic
ans, reviewed the governor's
proposals and issued a report.
Six Departments
Mr. Cross stated that the
plan calls for setting up six
general departments for the
state a cabinet form of gov-

ernment similar to that of the
United States and nothing
new in this country. The gov
ernor's assistant said this
would not increase the gov
ernor's "power" but would in
reality lessen it. Since going
into office, Governor Hatfield
has made about 560 appoint
ments, he said; under the new
plan, appointments would be
cut to about 70.
With the new plan, the
states governor "will know
more about what is going on"
and yet will not be burdened
unduly with a host of minor
appointments and administra
tive details, the speaker said.
As outlined in the report,
the six recommended depart-.
ments are labor, commerce,
social services, public safety,
transportation and utilities,
and natural ' resources. Mr.
Cross said there is real need
for the new department of
commerce, and that he be
lieves it will be set up by this
legislature.
Noting that under the plan
the present board of contol
would be abolished, Mr. Cross
said that his listeners should
"give a lot of thought to this."
He asked the audience to re
member that during the last
session of the legislature,
Governor Hatfield had vetoed
a bill to abolish the board,
since he felt the plan pro
posed at that time had not
been a good one.
Mr. Cross said the present
state institutions and bureaus
would be grouped together in
to logical categories, such as
education, correction and
health. It is reasonable to
group the various social serv
ice agencies together, he de
clared. Discussing the proposed de
partment of natural resources,
Mr. Cross said "it is in for
tough sledding."
Says "No Feud"
Early in his talk Mr. Cross
emphasized that Governor
Hatfield and Secretary of
State Howell Appling "are not
feuding" but that Secretary
Appling merely objects to
some parts of the reorganiza
tion plan. Noting that Secre
tary Appling objects to some
of the groupings, and to doing
away with the board of con
trol, Mr. Cross said that Mr.
Appling stresses the harmony
of the present board. Harm
ony hasn't always prevailed
in the past, the speaker add
ed. Speaking on other subjects,
Mr. Cross praised Legislators
John Dellenbnck and Lyndel
Newbry of Jackson county
and particularly commended
the former for returning to
Medford over the week end
to meet constltutents. He said
this went along with Gover
nor Hatfield's plan to "put
government on the road" and
making officials available to
the people.

TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE.
New York From around the country comes the news
that the wash-a-terias are becoming the center of neighbor
hood life. Women and even a few men play bridge; watch
television, read or sit and gossip while the family washing
goes through the automatic machines. Many of the patrons
have machines at home, but prefer to take their washing
to a place where ihey can find companionship, reports show.

Neighborhood Centers :
Around "Wash-a-teria"
By CLAIRE COX
United Press International
New York-IUPD-The corner
wash-a-teria is taking the
place of the old country store
as a neighborhood meeting
place.
Housewives-and sometimes
their husbands-play bridge,
read, watch television or sim
ply sit and gossip while their
weekly wash is done auto
matically. Across the country, coin-
operated laundries are spring
ing up in nearly every com
munity, offering a wide va
riety of conveniences to their
patrons.
Some have playpens where
children are kept occupied
while their mothers tend to
the wash. There are bulletin
boards for the exchange of
messages, advertisements and
announcements of local
churches.
Piped in music, potted plants
and coin-operated snack bars
add lo the comfort of the
women who sit and watch
their wash tossed about in
machines.
Do Hair, Too
Booths equipped with basins
and hair driers have been
installed in some wash-a-terias
so women can wash, set and
dry their hair in just about
the time it takes washer and
drier to turn out fresh linens.
Jack A. Coleman, manager
oi small Equipment Sales, a
division of the century-old
American Laundry Machine
company, which sells fran
chises for coin-operated laun
dries, said there are about
25,000 corner wash-a-terias
and .about 6,000 commercial
laundries in the nation.
The commercial laundries
do about 17 to 23 per cent
of all laundry; the coin-op
erated establishments do 7 to
10 per cent and the rest is
done in basements and laun
dry rooms by housewives.

"More than 70 per cent of
the people who come into
coin-operated laundries have
their own washers," he said,
"but they like the idea of
being able to do three or four
loads at once, Instead of spend
ing a whole day running up
and down stairs loading and
unloading their single washer
in the cellar."
Studies of the domestic ac
tivities of housewives also
have disclosed that women do
less and less ironing. More
than 50 per cent of them
have given up. the time-consuming
practice of ironing
sheets, he said, and a much
larger number than that send
their husbands' shirts out to
be laundered.
1 The wash-a-teria has really
come into its own since World
War II, It started with small
operations, each consisting of
a wringer-type washer filled
with a hose. Now the corner
coin-operated laundry is a
well - equipped neighborhood
center, where the washing
machine has replaced the old
fashioned cracker barrel of
days gone past.
Need Gathering Place -
"In modern living, there
are very few places where
people can gather to gossip,''
Coleman said. "This is a re
turn to the old corner store
gathering place. Women sit
around, chatting or munching
on something."
Some of these laundry stores
sponsor s bridge or canasta
tournaments. Several have in
troduced free-drying every
Wednesday, which usually is
the slowest day in the week.'
One had a decorative fountain
but this soon was filled with
cement after a small boy
dumped a box, of detergent
in it, inundating the whole
store with suds.

corner laundries reports the
biggest part of its trade is

New State
Is Studied
Mrs. Wilma Krebs and Mrs,
Paul B. Rynning-gave the pro
gram for Wednesday Study
club February 15.
Mrs. Krebs read an article
in the Holiday Magazine by
James Warner Bellah, entitl
ed, "Alaska." The author, who
has lived in Alaska more than
30 years, covers a visit to the
land where superlatives are
commonplace and gives a
sweeping picture of the coun
try's "northernmost, western
most, biggest and ruggedest
state."
Alaska was purchased from
Russia in 1867 for $7,200,000.
It was given a territorial dis
trict government in 1884 and
enlarged political powers in
1906, and in 1912 Congress
passed an act creating a leg
islative assembly.
The author states that
James Wickersnam, a United
States district judge, was sent
to Alaska to look after the
interests of the people and
later he was a 'delegate to
Congress from Alaska; it was
he who introduced the first
statehood bill in 1916, 42
years before the final pas
sage. Alaska has been called, in
the language of its older peo
ple the "Big Land."
Mrs. Rynning read an ar
ticle about, "Uncle Sam's Bar
gain Auctions." The auctions
are held once a year in a few
large cities to dispose of mer
chandise sent through the
mail and impossible of deliv
ery, xne articles consisting oi
clothing, household articles
and whatnot, are held 30 days
to six months while investiga
tion is made to trace owner,
then they are put up for sale
to the highest bidder and sold
as is for cash, no returns. The
auctions are not advertised
exceDt for a small newsnaDer
notice; people experienced in
such things, find "wonderful -bargains."
