The Fashionette Ladies' Ready-To-Wear 22 South Central Across from Catcnan jtobwh There were so many beautiful gowns and orchid cor sages at the armory last Saturday that Potpourri was quite dazzled. It was the annual Potentate's ball of Hillah temple of the Shrine and when the Shriners gather, they make it a BIG evening. The ball honored Illustrious Potentate and Mrs. Jorgcn Jorgensen of Medford. In our opinion, Mrs. Jorgensen had chosen a gown which was exactly right for the ball of heavy white satin with modest gold trim, it was truly elegant. She wore gold colored rosebuds, and the wives of honored guests were presented big white orchids. One of the men on the decorating committee figured that they hung nine miles of crepe paper in the canopy which decorated the big hall, and the blue matched that in the huge heart which provided a setting for the Jorgcnsens as they greeted men of the divan and their wives. In the dining room, each table was marked with a big bouquet of bright spring flowers, arranged by Mrs. Raymond Reier, a past queen of Zuleima temple, Daughters of the Nile. We decided that Jerry Jerome must be popular with his fellow Shriners. They kept giving him big bear hugs, and pumping his hand and pounding him on the back with affection. Mr. J. has been a Shriner for a long time he was potentate of Hillah temple way back in 1929, and was the oldest past potentate at the event. A newcomer to Medford went in to the office of a local utility company seeking service. "I'm Miss Medford," she stated to the man who came up to assist her. "I'm Mr. Jacksonville," came the instant reply. After a moment he ' added "Now, tell me your real name. According to the story we heard, the newcomer had to resort to her identification cards- to convince the man. Her name is Medford Miss Florence Medford. She has come to Medford to work for the Girls Scout council and Potpourri wishes her name was Jones, or Smith or Brown. We know we're going to have trouble trying to get into type, cor rectly, Miss Medford from Medford. It's inevitable. O.S. Nine Girls Receive First Class Badges Rogue Valley Girl Scout leaders of Troop 114, Hedrick Junior High eighth grade gave a candlelight ceremony, Feb ruary 28, at the home of Mrs. Homer Elzea, 302 Vancouver avenue, in honor of girl scouts receiving their first class badg es.

Legal rights of women have varied from civilization to civilization and era to era, he said. Mr. Piazza explained that the American legal sys tem derives from the English system developed following the Norman conquest. Sir Wil li..m Blackstone's commentar ies published in 1775 is the basis for much English law. It was interpreted as a very hard law for married women. Three types of law form our legal structure. They are: common law, which is devel oped through judicial pro nouncements; equity law, bas ed on natural reason or ethi cal judgment; and statutory law, developed by legislation. Vole To Women Oregon legislators were for ward - looking, the speaker said, when they amended the constitution to allow women to vote in 1913, seven years before the 19th amendment to the Constiution of the United States. Oregon's amendment lifted restrictions against women holding political of fice. According to Mr. Piazza, some Oregon laws are more lenient for women. He cited the lower legal marriage age, and the fact that a wife is subject to suit for payment of debts for family necessities for two years after contrac tion of the debt, but this is six years for a husband. Though there is discrimi nation against women in labor fields, the intent of the law is to provide protection and safe guards for health, Mr. Piazza added. Women in Oregon may own or sell property, contract for anything a man is able to, and be sued the same as any man. Dower Right Mr. Piazza explained thai the dower right assures, the married woman the use of one-half of the property of her husband during her lifetime, and that the husband cannot destroy this right without her consent. The courtesy right is the same, but applies to the husband. In response to s question, Mr. Piazza said that the com munity property law was in to 1947, but only because fed eral tax laws favored such ownership. He said that an unmarried person under the age of 21 cannot legally contract debts. During the business meet ing, officers for the coming year were elected. They are Mrs. Walter F. Roemer, presi dent; Mrs. Calvin L. Smith, first vice president; Mrs. Ray Casterlinc, second vice presi dent, and Mrs. Dale C. Pren tice, secretary. Mrs. David D. Potter was introduced as a new member, and Mrs. Gerald L. Evans and Mrs. Francis B o g a r t were guests. Mrs. John Stong was host ess for the meeting in her Woodlawn avenue home. Mrs. Jack W. Love was in charge of the program, and refresh ments were served by Mrs. Duane O. Richardson, Mrs. Marjorie E. Haley, Mrs. Alan B. Holmes, and Mrs. John Hoogerheide.
