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.

Legal Rights of Oregon
Women Is A AUW Topic
Women in Oregon enjoy le- effect in Oregon from 1943
gal rights at least equal to
men and in some instances
enjoy greater protection under
the law, attorney Eugene Piaz
za told Medford branch of
American Association of Uni
versity Women last week.
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.
