By ETHEIYN EVANS Our "come-lately" members are wondering what all the excitement is about, while the FMM's (first Manor members) are busy greeting Canon and Mrs. Edwin Moss, who jetted in from London in Just 10 hours. Since moving into the Manor, shortly after it open ed, Canon and Mrs. Moss have made two trips to England -each for more than 4 months another trip of 3 months through British Columbia, and they spent nearly 4 months of the past winter in their for mer home in Laguna Beach. They surely head the list of absentees; but they now plan to stay put in their beautiful Manor apartment, which is furnished comoletety with priceless antiques. Arthur Harrington, archi tect for the Manor who did such a fine job planning the building and grounds, has been with us on a last visit. He instigated a final go-round or check-up, looking for any needed corrections before the guarantee period under the contract expires. Then we shall be on our own - but definitely. . Dr. Earl Benbow, Corvallls, our rose expert, proudly con ducted a large number of Med ford rose fanciers around the Manor rose garden and the gardens of members where roses are featured. At the meeting later in our club room, Dr. Benbow displayed and discussed the unusual and new species of roses grown at the Manor under his super vision. C. W. Woodcock, Ashland, has been going about the Manor completely surrounded by grandchildren - his son, Richard, with wife and family have been Mr. Woodcock's houseguests for several days. Miss Emma B. Mundy, La Jolla, and Mrs. Madge Black wood, Carlsbad, Calif., have their niece, Mrs. Owen Brown, and grandnephew, Stuard, La Jolla, with them. They Bre houseguests for two weeks this time. They were here last year, also, and enjoyed the Manor. It is remarkable that after a day or so our houseguests fit right into our regime and seem to belong. They really enjoy it a lot. For instance, since my husband Bob Evans Workshop Slated By Garden Club Central Point C e n t r a 1 Point Garden club will meet at the home of Mrs. John Holmcr, Old Stage road, Wednesday, September 8th, at 10 a.m., for a flower and dried arrangement workshop. Instructions will be given by Mrs. Lester Gorden, Mrs. Arnold Bohnert and Mrs. R. D. Kay. Members arc asked to bring their own ma terials for the workshop . Coffee will be furnished for a sack lunch at noon, after which the regular monthly meeting will be held. The pro gram, an evaluation of the arrangements made during the work shop, will be pre sented by the panel of in structors. Practice Slated For Bethel 14 Practice will be held for of ficers and choir members of Bethel 14 of International Or der of Job's Daughters Tues day, September 4, at the Mod ford Masonic temple. The practice will begin at 10 a.m. The first meeting of the fall term will be held Wednesday, September 3, at 7:30 p.m. Pa tricia Ellis, honored queen, will preside, and majority de grees will be awarded. and I have formed a habit of breakfasting in our own apart ment, our visiting niece from New York City went down alone to that meal. Eating with members she had met and meeting others each morn ing, she had a really good time. She keeps writing from New York asking news of the "delightful'y friendly" people she met at the Manor. Two recent additions to our Manor family: Mrs. Blanche Burke, who came in from Medford, and Mrs. Trade Mc Mahon, Grand Rapids, Mich. This brings to mind recent membership statistics some people dote on statistics which our Hill-Top-Ics editor, Cleo West, published. Our membership in residence of 332 breaks down into a ratio of 1 man to 2 6 women. Our ex-Assistant Administrator I. P. Beaslcy, expressed it 1 man to 2 and a FRACTION women. Surprisingly, this ra tio holds on our priority list of those who have bought apartments and are awaiting an available vacancy. We have a large number of married couples, which maintains the Manor's plan of providing pri vate home-like living for re tired or seml-retircd citizens, single as well as married, t;f course. At present we have 20 single men. I understand that the average for similar residence homes runs about 1 man to 7 women. Initiation Held By Relief Corps Central Point - Mrs. D. C. Wilson became a member of the Central Point Woman's Relief corps, auxiliary to the Grand Army bf the Republic, during a recent meeting nt the home of Mrs. Bessie Hen derson near Gold Hill.

Home Extension Units Start Season The fall and winter season for Jackson county's 34 home extension units will begin this month. The first lesson for all the units will concern project leader development. The county committee mem bers will instruct in their re spective units from material which was compiled at the Oregon Home Extension coun cil meeting held last spring in Corvallis. A program of monthly les sons has been planned and the project leaders for each les son will receive training in the particular subjects as the year progresses. The training sessions for the project lead ers are held in the county home extension center at the fair grounds. The leader then Air Industry Outlines Stewardess Job Facts By ROBERT J. SERLING UPI Aviation Editor Washington -IUPD- This is the time of the year when the airlines and the nation's young women go looking for each other. The former are seeking new stewardesses and the latter include thousands of new high school and college graduates seeking careers. Yet surpris ingly few wind up with the airlines - mainly because the airline!) do not have the per sonnel to do much recruiting among schools. Industiy officials believe more girls would be interested in flight careers if they had a better Idea of what is in volved in the way of require ments, opportunities and training. The following questions and answers present a thorough picture: Q. What qualifications are needed? A. They vary somewhat from airline to airline, but in general a stewardess applicant should be between 20 and 26, height 5'3" to 5'9", weight 105 to 140, vision 2050 uncor rected. A high Bchool diploma Is required by all carriers and some college education andor business experience always is welcome although not essen tial. Personality, neatness and attractive-ess count more than beauty alone. Q. How do I apply? A. Any airline ticket office can tell you where and how to apply to a specific airline; the Air Transport association, 1000 Connecticut ave., N.W., Washington, D.C., will be hap py to send a list of all air lines. Q. How about these corres pondence schools for stew ardess training? A. Airline officials say you'd be wasting your time, along with $400 to $600. Even if you take such a course, you still would have to take regu lar airline training. The fed eral government has started cracking down on correspond ence schools which offer guar anteed employment after com pleting the course. One school, only a few weeks ago, was found guilty of mail fraud. Keep one thing in mind. The best stewardess training avail able is that offered by the air lines themselves. And it is free. Q. Which airline offers the best opportunity? A. They're all pretty much the same. The bigger ones arc more glamorous, but don't dis count the advantages of flying for the small local service car riers. The latter are more in formal, sometimes more fun, and usually they are easier to work for because they don't go in for elaborate meal and beverage service. Remember, too, that seniority counts with stewardesses as well as with pilots-don't expect to grab a plush New York-Los Angeles non-stop trip the day you graduate. Chances are you'll get something more like a five-stop night coach trip un til you acquire some exper ience. Q. Can a married woman, divorcee or widow become a stewardess? A. Most airlines will take only single girls. Some have Watch GRAND OPENING THURSDAY thru SATURDAY September 6-8 See Our Ad in Wednesday's Mail Tribune PHOENIX PHARMACY in turn instructs unit mem bers in the subject at the monthly meetings. This month's lesson will stress view point, information, preparation, presentation and success of the project. It will give hints on how to handle both the "do" lessons which include demonstrations, and the "think" lesson which arc largely discussions. Any woman who wishes to join an extension unit or at tend a meeting in which she is particularly interested dur ing the year is extended an invitation to call the Jackson County extension office, 773 8215. All units are open to the public. During September, Miss Jessalee MallaMeu, recreation allowed stewardesses to con tinue flying after marriage If their husbands fly for the same airline, but none will ac cept a married applicant. A few will hire widows or di vorcees without children but you would have to check each airline as to policy. Q,. How long docs training last and is it tough? A. Training lasts from three to six weeks, depending on the individual airline. The local service carriers usually have shorter courses because their cabin service is not as fancy as the major carriers. But no matter what airline you go with, don't expect any picnic. Training is rough and it has to be. The airlines are entrusting the comfort - and occasionally even the safety -of as many as 130 passengers lo the skill, poise and judg ment of a few young women. Q. Is it true that a stew ardess these days is nothing more than a flying waitress or barmaid? A. It is true that with the advent of bigger and faster planes in the jet age, the job of cabin attendant has become loss informal, considerably more rushed and in a sense, less glamorous. But the change is a matter of degree and there are compensations to the jet age - including better planes and higher pay. Q. What is the expected sal ary? A. It starts around $250 a month and scales up to $465. The airline also pays all ex penses connected with as signed flights. Also to be re membered is that steward esses get considerable time off, particularly after they have been flying for two or more years and can bid the more favorable schedules. Q. Is it really a profession to be proud of? A. It is the federal govern ment, not the airlines, which requires cabin attendants in passenger - carrying aircraft. The regulation is for the sole purpose of safety; the cabin service duties merely comple ment the chief reason why e stewardess must be on every scheduled flight-trained to act in any emergency. The job in volves some menial tasks, oc casionally inconvenient work ing hours and even a few un pleasant moments. Balanced against these infrequent draw backs, however, is the undis puted fact that the stewardess has become a vital and neces sary part of corr-iercial avia tion. The wings pinned on your chest graduation day are to be worn with pride.

Tha couple flew to Frankfurt, Germany, by the Polar route and there were guests of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. James Ochs. Mr. Ochs is on duty in Germany with the United States Air Force. The two couples spent mora than three weeks touring Eu rope by automobile, traveling in eight countries. Highlight of their visit to Italy was at tending an audience with the Pope at The Vatican. After leaving Germany, tha Pfnisters toured England. Mrs. Pfnister kept a diaiy and the couple took 800 slides. Using these the couple will give a program for their Grange. If you deprive yourself of cake and other goodies on a diet, Gaymont maintains, these are tne first things you eat after discontinuing tha diet. As a result, he said, most people promptly gain back all the weight they lose while eat ing low calorie specialties. Sl'.tJ V'-iSv (Souirren) El f (2 dime) j r y
