G. Robert Jacks, assistant pastor of First Pres byterian church, sang a group of Negro spirituals. He was his own piano accompanist. Dr. Taylor talked of early, day banking in southern Ore gon. He stressed the history of C. C. Beckman and his bank, established in 1865. It was the first bank in southern Oregon. It was a deposit bank only, where people could deposit, for safekeeping, their money and gold dust. Probably, drafts could be written against the deposits, but no checks could be written, The first checking bank in southern Oregon was estab lished in Ashland in 1884 by H. B. Carter from Elkader, Iowa. H. B. Carter was the first president and, at that time, the cashiers were his two sons, F. H. Carter and E. V. Carter. Both Mr. Beekman and the Carter 'family were interested in the development of their . communities. Mr. Beckman was interested in Wells Fargo .and the stage line. The Carters were inter ested in good schools, water, electricity and ice for the town of Ashland as well as the Chautauqua and the park. The C. C. Beekman bank building and its contents are being restored to their former appearance by the Southern Oregon Historical society. Soon the building will be open for the public. It will be operated in conjunction with the Jacksonville museum. The old Bank of Ashland has now become the First Na tional Bank of Oregon, Ash land branch.

New Blouses Are Ruffled United Press International The right blouse in '81 is apt to be a ruffled-front cotton with contrast edges on the ruffles, or a neat little suit blouse with the buttons cen tered in big, embroidered dai sies, or one with a yoke effect and bateau neck. - A lady gets her h e a d "bumped" in the new "scalp wave" that French hairdres ser Michel of Paris has de vised for his Ne,w York clien tele. Reversing the usual permanent wave in which the hair ends are curled while the top is left smooth, the new straight - end styling gives more body to the top of the hair. It's bunched up at the crown. Designer Marc Bohan, at the House of Christian Dior in Paris, described his spring collection as one with a theme of "youth and lightness." Picking blouses this spring will be like picking flowers in a garden. Some spring col or schemes: flower box print with squares of myriad color ed blossoms forming a striped pattern on a front-buttoned blouse; the "big apple" print. Buttons on some spring coats are the ' hide-and-seek type. They're so deftly hid den, you have to seek them. French cream sandwiches will be a real surprise for a company brunch or for break fast any day: Combine a three ounce package of cream cheese and one nine - ounce can (one cup) of crushed pine apple. Mix until creamy. Use this filling to make four sandwiches. Cut each sand wich in half. Combine one egg, beaten, one-fourth cup of milk and a dash of salt. Dip each side of sandwiches into egg mixture and brown quick ly on both sides in butter or margarine in skillet. Serve hot.
