Dr. Alvin Fellers, director of student affairs nt SOC, will report on the $500 Margery Newton memorial student loan fund, which is credited with being "the most effec tive, with the least red tape" of any loan fund on the campus. For the past 11 years the SOC Mothers club bns con tributed toward furnishings, not included In the college budget. Last year when a women's lounge was opened In Britt center the Mothers club helped with the furnish ings and made window dra peries in cooperation with the Associated Women Students. This year the c'.ub contrib uted $100 and actively cam paigned in support of the state ballot measure No. 6. It is hoped that the Mar gery Newton fund may be in creased to $1,000 this year through addition of dues-paying, members. Since every mother automatically be comes a member of the club when her son or daughter en ters SOC, all are urged to be come active in the organiza tion. Ashland mothers are in vited to Join in the Thursday night coffee hour and a spe cial invitation is extended to those in Medford and the Talent-Phoenix area.

' This artist s wood and nail sculpture also interests many artists and art patrons. He uses large redwood posts of varying sizes and on these works out a design with such material us galvanized roofing nails and copper tacks in ro settes. Mr. Bennett states that the idea evolved throughout the past few years because of his intercut in the totem poles made by northwest Indians, and his visits to the pioneer Jacksonville cemetery where he studied the tall, narrow and gracefully proportioned grave markers. Mr. Bennett will also enter the coming annual art show of Medford branch, American Association of U n 1 ve r s i t y Women scheduled to open March 0 at the Public Library of Medford and- Jackson county.

Mrs. Lester Gorden and Mrs. Steven Bcnston are assisting hostesses. Mrs. Arnold Bohnert will give a program on pruning of roses, and arrangements of early spring bulb flowers will be displayed. Women's News Indian Pomp, Described by A letter from Mrs. Sam Redding, 191 Clover lane, was received here recently de scribing her visit in India. She and Mrs. Eve Prentice, also Medford, are taking a lengthy world trip and expect to return home this spring. Mrs. Redding's letter, in part, follows: "The Ajunta and Ellora caves are a Dreatn-iaKmg sight! This ancient architec ture is excavated on a scarp of a large rock plateau. Some of these huge temples carved out of solid rock are 2,000 years old. One temple stands 259 feet high. One set ol chiseled caves extends in a circle along a river bed for one-third mile. It is estimated that world-wonders of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain origin must have taken 100 years to carve. The beautiful Taj Mahal hotel in Bombay the next day was a welcomed stop. From our balcony we could see the picturesque harbor studded with hilly islands. The boats and ships that filled the har bor truly made a refreshing view and deserves Its name The Gateway of India,' for Bombay. In Bombay we shopped in the exotic ba zaars and purchased gifts for family and friends in Med ford. We picnicked and went swimming at Juhu beach, a palm-fringed resort on the Arabian sea. Our Brahmin host, Babu, and his charming wife and children treated us to their delicious food and their hospitality is un matched. Visit Palace In Gwallor we visited friends of my son. They took us to the Gwalior king's pal ace. Although 150 years old, it appeared new. One room was simply fascinating. One chandelier had 1,250 lights - the largest chandelier in the world. In this same room was also the largest Persian rug ever made, measuring 48 by 90 feet. It takes sixty men to roll it. "The palace was a palace of gold and ivory. The drap eries were brocaded in pure gold and these were nine feet high. Everywhere I turned I saw something of pure gold. A portrait of an English lord being received by the mahar aja, hung on the wall in a wide gold frame. The guide momentarily forgot the lord's name. 'Lord Redding?" my son quickly suppleid. 'Yes,' he said, 'That's Lord Wedding.' Chuckling, we went on. "Gwalior today, as can be said of all India, is fast be coming industrialized. We visited the Gwalior Pottery factory, and Gwalior Silk mills. That evening we were guests of the owner of the factory, Shri Birla, for a de licious eleven course Indian dinner which our host insisted had to be eaten with our fingers. "On the way to Jaipur we visited Fatepur Sikrl, ancient capital of India. It is here the king used to play "pancheesa', an Indian chess game, with his wife. They used slave girls as pawns, and the board was made of marble stones on an open courtyard. Streets Decorated "There were many welcome signs and beautifully decorat ed streets as we rolled into the enchonted rose-pink city of Jaipur. Actually. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were there, too. She and the duke had just left for their tiger hunt. This magnificent fairy book-like city, built in the 1700's, Is well planned and looks modern. The build ings are built of rose colored stone, It is noted for Its skill ed craftsmen in the art of cutting precious stones, espe cially garnets. We took a ride on the king's superbly deco rated elephants at Amber, an other city seven miles from Jaipur. This city is named for its amber colored buildings. the elephants kneeled as we mounted up a tiny ladder. "Between Jaipur and Delhi, I saw many wild peacocks. In one spot I counted an even dozen beside the road. Parrots darted in and out among the trees making lively splashes of vivid green here and there. Monkeys played and jumped from tree to tree, In groups of dozens. They mauled each other over the peanuts which we threw for them. "Tibetan nobility friends. Mr. and Mrs. Tsepom Shakab- pa, personal advisor to the Dalai Lama, and Mr, and Mrs. Jigma Tserlng, purported to be the Rockefellers of Tibet- these were our hosts during our four-day stay in Delhi. Their custom and manner bubbled with hospitality and we were very comfortably 'at LaPointe's Maternity Shop Pageantry Traveler home' with them. Their lood was Tibetan, of course,, and very tasty - a cross between Chinese and Indian dishes. We ate always with chop sticks. Attend Parade , "We were awakened at 5:30 in the morning January 26, Republic day in India, with hot Indian tea, made with milk, sugar, tea and spices all boiled together. We made our way to the parade site, where we had especially reserved seats, so saw the parade as it passed just in front of us. Be fore the parade started, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru walked up and down the road greeting his people and kiss ing children. Helicopters over head dropped load after load of roses and marigolds for a carpet for the queen and duke. The colorful parade lasted for two hours, beauti fully timed to the minute. "I liked the 61st Cavalry Lancers as they pranced by on spirited Arabian horses, the 13th Camel Grenadiers corps, and the troops of ele phants which trumpeted sa lutes with raised trunks best of all. The various folk danc ers from all over India brought shrieks and yells from their countrymen as they danced by. "The conclusion of the pa rade was topped with various military aircraft flying in for mation, straight over the pa rade route between the Secre tariat, and India Gate. Hun dreds of balloons of India s national colors were released into the air to float in the sunshine. We could still mar vel at their beauty after half an hour. India knows pag eantry, color, pomp and cere mony. I feel especially fortu nate to have seen this particu lar extravaganza which will probably not be duplicated again in a century. "Now we are back in Mus soorie. A heavy snow has fall en this morning-over 24 inch es. Just this morning at 10 o'clock our closest, neighbor's pig was taken by a leopard. For several days we have seen leopards' tracks around our bungalow. I hope to be in Medford soon."
