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. .
