10 A WEDNESDAY. APRIL 11, 1362 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON Social Events Women's News 71 University Women Hear About Home Rule Charter A discussion of the county home rule charter was held at the April meeting of the Medford branch, American Association of Univ e r 1 1 y Women. The meeting was held it the home of Mrs. Kenneth L. Brown. The discussion was led by Dr. Arthur Kreisman of South ern Oregon college who is a member of the county home rule committee. Dr. Kreisman first gave a brief explanation of the present county govern ment system and how the system would be set up if the charter goes into effect. Essentially, the county is now run by the state legisla ture, the speaker said. Al though the people of the coun ty elect nine county officers that there are 36 rather rii verse counties in the state; and also as there has been a large increase in state business the legislature has found it more difficult to consider and to pass local legislation suit able for all counties of Ore gon, it was brought out. It was the state legislature which originally suggested a county home rule system. Article 6 of the Oregon Constitution was voted on and passed by the people allowing those counties which wished to have home rule to obtain it. A later enabling act passed by the leg islature set up the machinery for the counties to obtain it. Commit! Named In Jackson county the court started the machinery in mo- the duties of these officers tion by appointing four people are prescribed by the state to a study commiUce. The legislature. None of these ..,. aDr.0in(e(i an additional OMIICIB Has any legislative powers. Originally when Ore gon had only four counties this system was adequate.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard May field will be installed royal matron and patron; Mr. and Mrs. Hal Bishop, associate ma tron and patron; Mrs. Law rence Messal, conductress and Mrs. Bob Reynolds, associate conductress. Mrs. Frank Salyers Is chair man of the event. The first stated meeting fol lowing installation will be Monday, April 16. four people to the group and a ninth member was chosen by the other eight. The first job for the committee was to decide if county home rule was desirable in Jackson county and then to devise a charter if they thought home rule advisable. After two years of study and work the charter will be presented to the voters for their approval at the election May 18. Copies of the charter are available now at the Public Library of Medford and Jackson county for loan. Under the county home rule charter the people would elect a district attorney, still a state officer, and a board of eight county commissioners who would serve as a block of policy makers in charge of county government. This board would appoint the ad ministrative officers of the county. One member of the would run specifically for that position. This would be a full lime job while the other commis sioners would find their posi tions to be part time. On the first ballot the commissioners would run at large but at that time the people would vote on whether they would like dis tricting of the commissioners in future elections. The board would also hire an administra tive assistant to serve as their executive secretary. This per son would have no legislative, hiring, or budgetary powers. Repeal Possible Dr. Kreisman stressed that the charter is amendable or rcpealable by a simple ma jority of the vote. If it is not suitable in all of its parts after being in operation those parts can be changed. He also emphasized that all the safe guards of citizens' personal rights as written in both the federal and state constitutions are not changed by the char ter. A brief business meeting followed the discussion. The Sister Accompanies Visitor on Return Hornbrook-Mrs. Mary Kurt returned home on Wednesday from Ft.

Drew Lamb, chose similar subjects. Although both the book review given by Mrs. Harry Skerry Jr. and the half h o u r talk by Mrs. Frances Hardy concerned Indians, there were marked dissimilar ities and contrasts. "The Andes, Roof of Amer ica" written by Claude Ar thaud and Francois Hebert- Stevens, is a translation made vivid by remarkable photog raphy. It tells the story of the peoples and their customs which have changed little dur ing centuries since the early Inca civilization, said Mrs. Skerry. Intermingled are mystical rites and superstitions handed down from generation to gen eration. Agriculture is largely dependent upon elevation in the mountains and high pla- tcus of the South American "backbone." The population, estimated at 20 million pure blood Indians, exists under primitive conditions, eking out a bare livlihood. Like their ancestors they alternate ly celebrate with festivals or slump into stupor, a condi tion induced by the chewing of coca leaves from which co caine is obtained. Formal edu cation is unknown except in a few Christian missions of the remote Andes. Mrs. Hardy's selected sub ject, the story of Ishi, lone survivor of the Yahi tribe of northern California, gives a different picture of an Indian who. in late adulthood, was transformed from a wild man to a person of intelligence and dignity. It was in 1911 that Ishi ap peared, starving and almost naked in Oroville, Calif. Kind townspeople befriended him and during the remaining five years of his life brought him in contact with the best of white civilization through c o m p a n ionship with three California university profes sors, lshi's remarkable trans- lorniation is sympathetically told by Theodora Krocber, wife of one of the three men, who established him happily in the California Museum of Anthropology in San Fran CISCO. Mrs. Lamb, study club pres ident, conducted the business at which an invitation to at tend the April la meeting of the Medford Wednesday Miiny club was read. The 1 p.m. dessert luncheon is to he in the Girls Community clubhouse.
