10 c Club Topics Contrast Heritage of Americans Ashland - Contrasting view points of America's heritage from Backbay Boston to Ore gon's Rogue River valley made for an interesting program Monday afternoon when mem bers of Ashland Study club met at the home of Mrs. Eliza beth Sommer. Not only were the book re view and the selected subject keyed to each other in general theme but the atmosphere of the venerable old home with its high-ceilinged spacious par lors gave nostalgic reminder of life lived within its walls for more than 80 years. The Oak street home, built by Mrs Sommer's grandfather John McCall, is considered one of Ashland's oldest and most beautiful residences. Mrs. Harry Skerry Jr. chose for her book review "The Si lent Traveller in Boston" by Chiang Yee. Educated in Nan king as a chemist and later serving as provincial gover nor, Chiang went to England where for many years he studied and lectured on paint ings and on peoples and places of particular significance. In America he has won wide spread recognition for both his writing and his artistry. The book reviewed by Mrs. Skerry is illustrated by many of the author's paintings and black and white sketches. "Chiang writes with a quiet charm, said the reviewer, "Seeking similarities rather than contrasts and seeing Bos ton and its historic environs through the rainbow of an Oriental artist s eyes, the grim spirit still lives," grim spirit stil Hives." , Mrs. Sommer presented a resume of pioneer days when her two grandfathers, John McCall and Jacob Wagner, es tablished their families and businesses In Ashland and Talent. Both men had mined gold in California before de ciding to homestead in the louthern Oregon valley. .
