Thursday
Ashland The Ashland
area group of the Southern
Oregon Collcac Mothers club
will hold a coti'ec hour in the
snack bar annex of Britt cen
ter on the campus at 8 p.m.
Thursday, March 2.
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

with the use of sand to
achieve unusual texture. Both
were included in Mr. Ben
nett's show at Rogue gallery
here in November, and excit
ed considerable comment
from those who visited the
gallery. '
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

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."
