MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. 19S2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEOFORD. ORECON Social Events Women's News Mn. Mark O. Hatfield, (right) Oregon's Fint Lady, wat a luncheon gueit oi Mn. John Snider (at left) and Mn. Herb Part ridge Wednesday at Rogue Valley Country club. Mrs. Hatfield accompanied the gover nor on visit to the valley. The bracelet which she wears on her left arm is filled with charms, most of them gifts from her husband, which commomorate the birthdays of their children and other important events in their personal and political lives. POTPOURRI What do women find to talk about when they have lun cheon with Oregon's First Lady? They talk about food and diets and children and hairdos and clothes, Just as if Mrs. Mark Hatfield was a friendly neighbor seen every day. At least, that's what Mrs. Hatfield, Mrs. John Snider, Mrs. Herb Partridge and Potpourri talked about last Wednes day noon. Naturally, women begin to talk about diets as soon as the waitress brings the menus. Wednesday Antoinette Hatfield scanned the menu and ordered ground round steak because beef is a good source of protein. Mrs. Hatfield said she had been reading a book about nutrition and had learned a lot about the various ways in which proteins, starches and fats are utilized by the body. The First Lady of Oregon, who 'accompanied her husband here on a speaking tour, wore a pretty corduroy suit of wheat color. It had brown leather buttons and her little fur felt hat with upturned brim had a cluster of pheasant feathers at one side. Mrs. Hatfield says she likes color in her wardrobe, and this time a bit of color was provided by a pear-shaped pin set with green stones. The pin had been purchased for her only that morning by Mayor John Snider in Jean Hart's new shop when the governor's party had toured Ashland. v The luncheon table presented a colorful scene for Mrs. Snider wore a red wool suit with small dark fur collar, and Mrs. Partridge, who has unusually interesting classic fea tures, wore a blue silk frock which sparked her blue eyes. Before long we asked Mrs. Hatfield about the charm bracelet she wore and she gladly told us about tt-thc brace let is of importance to her because it was a gift from her husband and the charms mark important family, historical or political events in the life of the governor and his wife. The. bracelet had but one charm, a wedding bell en graved with the date of their marriage, when Mark Hatfield gave it to his bride. Before long, their home was robbed and the bracelet was stolen. However, a link which had been taken from the bracelet was left behind and It was the first charm on a new bracelet. Mrs. H. displayed each charm, and explained it. One is a replica of their Salem home and commemorates the first Christmas which the family spent in II, there Is a liny shoe which marks the birth of their first child, Elizabeth and when their son, Mark, was born, the charm which the governor gave his wife is engraved with "Our Prince." The charms are all dated. Tony Hatfield Is still amused especially by the charm which was inspired by one of her remarks. Whenever a particularly ricwcy-cycd woman says "Oh, you must lead a glamorous life as the governor's wife" Mrs. H. is apt to say. "Well, just remember, I wash the governor's socks." The charm has engraved on it an old-fashioned bathtub over which hangs a clothes line filled with socks and other apparel. One charm was given her at the Kennedy inaugural bull, the governor's mother gave her daughter-in-law a liny slork before the birth of their first child, and a little girl's head. Because of the World's Fair, one charm Is a replica of the Space Needle, and It lights up. There Is also a lamp of knowledge, and Mrs. Hatfield hopes this fact isn't sig nificant the little light In It has never worked. When Potpourri told the governor's wife that we hod never seen a picture of cither of her children, she said she and her husband make a great effort to keep their private life apart from their public life, although this presents great problems. Because they do not wish to deprive their children of such joys as going to the Portland zoo to see Packy. the baby elephant, they do go out from lime lo lime as a family. When the photographers gathered around at the zoo, the llntfields did not refuse their requests for pictures. Elizabeth was 3 years old in July, and Mark was 2 June II). They loved Packy, of course. Mrs. Hatfield frankly says that she finds the deepest satisfaction in her husband, home and children, and that she doesn't mind at all doing household chores such as the laundry. "I feel sorry for women who have little or nothing to do with household keeping, and who leave the rearing of their children to relatives or servants,'' she said. How ever, both the governor and his wife are heartily grateful that his mother and Antoinette s mother arc available as baby sitters when the couple must make trips, such as those to Medford. Like many other young couples, the llntfields arc thankful for grandmothers. I We think that Tony Hatfield makes a groat effort to be a good wife and mother, but she doesn't neglect her con-! slitucnts, either. She had saved up a story for Potpourri to pass on to Pappy about guns. Seems she amazed a roomful of men once because she knew something about a shot gun than none of the males did. "After all," she said with her warm smile, "my father always owned and used guns and 1 just remembered what I'd seen him doing." Now, how come the governor's wife knew that Pappy runs a gun shop?

Two Films Are Booked For Tuesday Rogue Valley Art associa tion will continue its sched ule of exceptional motion pic tures with a showing Tuesday, September 25, of Satyajit Ray's "Palhcr Panchali" (La ment of the Road) and a Ca nadian documentary, "The City of Gold." The showing will be at the Medford High school's semin ar auditorium at 8 p.m. "Pather Panchali," the first in a trilogy of films about Bengali life, was awarded a prize at Cannes in 1955; re ceived its American premiere in the same year, and in 1057 won prizes for the best film and director at the San Fran cisco International Film fes tival. The subject matter of "Palhcr Panchali" is the daily life of a Brahmin family liv ing on the outskirts of its an cestral village in Bengal. There are two lively children, a boy and a girl; an aged great aunt, a mother, alternately shrill and becalmed with dis appointment, who forms the film's moral center; and a fa ther, a bad provider with a good heart. The film is shaped by a scries of divertissements: the visit of the candy man, of some strolling players, a local wedding, the everyday con cern with obtaining enough rice and potatoes. It is con sidered one of the more com plete and poetic glimpses of contemporary India. "City of Gold," running &0 minutes In length, is described as a fascinating account of the gold rush of the Yukon Tcr- ritory as it affected the city of Dawson. A greater share of the film is the motion-picture photography of a collect ion extremely sharp black- and-white photographs taken during the peak of the city s boom period. Although no act ual motion exists, except for brief portions at the beginning and end, showing the city to day, the stereo-scopic depth and dimension brings lo life the essence of the times. The pictures are accompanied by absorbing narration and the strains of nostalgic harmonica tunes. Both films will be shown free of course to association members, and a small charge will be asked of non-members wishing lo join the associa tion. Twirlers Change Day for Classes Medford Y Knot Twirlers have rescheduled their fall classes to Wednesday at 8 1 p.m. at the Phoenix Coinmu n I t y hall. According to George Rny, club president, the conflicts of school ball games, Friday night shop ping, and week end trips made it impossible for many prospective beginners to par ticipate in the Friday night clasps. It is expected thai a far larger turnout will result on Wednesday evenings. The first Wednesday class will hn K,'Mt.ntl... 9fi nn- I cause of the change, registra tion will remain open that evening.

Kennedy is at Philharmonic hall here during Inter shown chatting with Conductor Leonard mission in the historic opening program Bernstein and hit wife in the Green room Sunday, September 23. (UPI). Philharmonic Hall Is Opened; First Lady Is Forced To Leave By FREDERICK M. WINSHIP United Press International New York tUPH Mrs. John F. Kennedy pulled a disap pearing act Sunday night at the opening of Lincoln cen ter's new Philharmonic hall, an historic occasion marked by suitably bombastic music, free-flowing champagne and no little mystery about the First Lady's whereabouts. The glamorous First Lady, who made a flying trip from Newport, R.I., for the big cul tural event, created a wave of excitement among the audience of 2,582 government bigwigs, industrial tycoons, showbusiness celebrities and socialites when she arrived for the New York Philhar monic's first concert in its new $15.4 million home. They gave her a standing ovation as she entered the presidential box, a vision of elegance in an evening gown of pink satin topped with a jet-embroidered black velvet bolero. Forced To Leave But when her lowering Gibson Girl hairdo, in a flat tering new auburn shade, could not be sighted through hundreds of uplifted opera glasses following the nation ally televised concert's inter mission, the audience buzzed with speculation. Had the First Lady let the nation's most ambitious cultural proj ect down? Had she disliked a specially commissioned work by American composer Aaron Copland as much as one pa tron who shouted: "Stop that noise!" Only a few of Lincoln Cen ter's inner circle who were in the Philharmonic Hall's Green Room when Mrs. Ken nedy visited conductor Leon ard Bernstein at the half knew Ihe reason for the first lady's quiet disappearance. She had been informed that weather at Newport was worsening and that she would have to fly back immediately in order to be there today to play hostess to visiting Pakis tani President Mohammed Ayub Khan. Praises Hall Certainly Mrs. Kennedy had loved the consecrating selec tion, Beethoven's magnificent "Gloria" from his solemn "Mass in D major." She even said nice things about Cop land's undistinguished first venture into 12-tone symphon ic composition entitled "Con notations for Orchestra." And the hall itself, she told archi tect Max Abramovitz and Bernstein was "magnificent oh, just magnificent." Philharmonic hall is the first building to be completed in a complex of theaters, con cert halls, a music library museum and the Metropolitan Opera house that will form the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts when it is completed in 1966. The $142 million project, financed by city, state and federal funds, foundations and private con tributions, will be the largest of 69 such cultural centers now being built in the United States and the model of many. With Leonard Bernstein conducting and Mrs. Kennedy in the audience, CBS Sunday night presented a live two hour telecast of the historic opening of the Lincoln Center (or the Performing Arts in New York. The music by Bernstein, the New York Philharmonic and the countless singers was an enormously enriching ex perience; and Mrs. Kennedy's attendance lent proper added stature to the national event as well as prettying things up a bit. Bui regrettably, the lengthy intermission and the minutes between the compo sitions were rather tedius and flat. Remarks Deadly This was not the fault of Alistair Cooke, television's finest host. It was the fault of those who chose to fill much of the time with deadly dull and standard remarks by per sonages such as New York Mayor Robert Wagner rather than, say, a concise pictorial history of the center for view ers. And it was also the fault of annoyingly long commer cials. Merely having famous peo ple about is no assurance of success, as was unfortunately demonstrated in an ill-fated video attempt lo pick up an intermission conversation be tween Mrs. Kennedy and Bernstein. The conductor had greeted the First Lady with a kiss on the check, and he was hoard clearlv as he started to chat. But. either because she spoke in extremely low voice or because of technical diffi culties, Mrs. Kennedy was virtually inaudible as she talked to those about her. Shower Given For Deanna Cook Mrs. A. H. Gregory was hostess recently for a bridal shower honoring her grand daughter, Miss Deanna Cook Miss Cook is the bride-elect of Ralph Hawes, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Hawes, Port land. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Cook, Medford. The room was decorated with bouquets of roses. The serving table was a miniature bridal party made of angel food cakes with tiny dolls in the center and the cake as the dresses. After several games were played. Miss Cook was pre sented her gifts. Guests were Mesdames A. W. Denney, Alice Davis, Eth el Latham, William Ardry, Kalheron Robinson, Ron Gandee, Vaughn Keyser, James Fruit, Peggy Nogle, Ralph Cook and Miss Cook. The wedding has been set for early November. Security Club Slates Meeting Security Benefit club will hold a birthday meeting Wed nesday, September 26, at 11 a.m. at the Pythian building.
