MANOR-ISMS
By ETHEIYN EVANS
Rogue Manor has estab
lished another FIRS T our
first one-man art show! Mrs.
Irene Fussier Woodcock's
creative work was shown to a
large and appreciative crowd
of Manor and valley friends,
including M. N. Hogan, El
Presidcnte of the Manor
board, and Mrs. Hogan. This
was not Mrs. Woodcock's first
one-man show. In the More
head galleries at the Univer
sity of North Carolina, her
paintings were hung for a
full month, and another show
ing was held in Hawaii,
where she studied oriental art
under the Washington, D.C.
Freer Galleries' award win
ning artist, Tseng Yu-ho.
We were privileged to view
and enjoy about 100 lovely
pictures hung in the larger
apartment to which the
Woodcocks are moving very
soon. The paintings showed
such a surprising versatility,
both in subject matter and
media water colors, oils,
pencil, pen and charcoal
sketches and etchings. They
were arranged in separate
sections, and I lingered long
in the oriental room. Mrs.
Woodcock held large sales
after both the two previous
showings, so most of these
pictures were quite recently
painted.
Mrs. Woodcock's versatil
ity is exemplified in other ac
complishments. She was an
official of the North Carolina
Slate Dramatc association,
she has written plays and has
had experience in teaching
dramatics and staging and di
recting plays. We think all
this is one more happy in
stance of Manor members be
ing able to contribute to the
cultural activities of our
Valley. ,
I know I am going "way
back-yonder" to mention a
rather unusual (to me) party
given by Miss Florence Gif
ford, well known in Medford,
and Mrs. R. H. Henderson. In
lieu of often repeated glit
tering Christmas decor, the
sole theme of this party was
carried out in poinsettias. in
the table and room decora
tions, in food particularly
the salads, ice cream and
cakes and, also, the prizes
were growing poinsettia
plants.
Announcement that the
movie "The Mouse That
Roared", with Peter Sellers,
will be presented in the Var
sity theatre, Ashland, Mon
day, February 4, by the Tu
dor guild, reminds us that it's
time to start thinking about
our Shakespeare festival.
The Tudor guild is an orga
nization of Ashland and Med
ford women who work to
help (he Festival, particularly
the young actors who crowd
into Ashland each year. The
primary objective is to pro
vide money for scholarships.
Each year they contribute
thousands of dollars for this
purpose. Also, they work to
help these young people find
living quarters; they supple
ment the scanty furnishings
of some of these places; and
they maintain a revolving
loan fund to help make it pos
sible for them to have the ex
perience and training ob
tained by working and acting
in the plays. In addition, they
prepare and serve a big din
ner for them, immediately
after the casting is complete
each year. This is somewhat
in the nature of a congratula
tory gesture to those who
achieved the goal they sought,
and condolence for the dis
appointed ones.
Current officers of the
Guild are Mrs. Elliott Mc
Cracken, president; Mrs. E. E.
Rountree, vice president;
Frank Davis (our only man
member), treasurer; Mrs.
Hugh Simpson and Mrs. Ruth
King, recording and corres
ponding secretaries, All Ash
land residents. Three Manor
women are members of the
Guild, Mrs. Rease Braley,
Mrs. Charles Davis and Mrs.
Bob Evans, "yours truly."
Following this movie, to be
presented for the benefit of
the Guild's scholarship fund,
all are invited to an after
theatre social hour in Caesar
hall at the Mark Antony ho
tel, Ashland.
Manor members who
crowded the auditorium
Thursday evening thoroughly
enjoyed John Day's informal
and informative tale of the
thrills and perils of high
mountain climbing. Small
wonder that the National
Geographic welcomed 500
pictures he took for them
his pictures are remarkable
clear, sharp, with a sure
touch and an eye for the most
striking and beautiful shots.
We saw the pictures of his
rescue, after a fall had broken
a leg. If such a tragic acci
dent can happen to three ex
perts who carried everything
conceivable in the way of mod
ern equipment, ordinary mor
tals should hesitate about
climbing "Roxy Ann."
Since I am often subjected
to enthusiastic conversations
among teenagers about moun
tain climbing, I thought an
authoritative word about the
"high cost of equipment"
might have a disillusioning
effect, so I asked Mr. Day the
estimated cost of necessary
equipment for a climb. I
never did get the total, but
gathered It was considerable.
Perhaps Mr. Day should have
given me the answer of the
late J. Picrpont Morgan
when asked the cost of op
erating his huge luxury
yacht. His reply was: "If you
need to ask tho cost of run
ning it, don't buy it."

Earhart Day
Observed
Zonta Club
The Medford Zonta club
observed Amelia Earhart day
at a dinner meeting Thursday
evening at the Medford hotel.
A U.S. Navy film, "Opera
tion Sunshine," the story of
the nuclear powered subma
rine, USS Nautilus, was
shown by Chief Edward Haw
kins, Navy recruiter.
A project of Zonta Interna
tional is the awarding of
Amelia Earhart scholarships
of $2,500 to young women for
advanced study in aeronautic
sciences. Five scholarships
given in 1962 bring Zonta's
Earhart grants to 42.
This past year's awards in
cluded Ying-Chu Lin Wu of
Taiwan, the first woman to
win California Institute of
Technology's aerospace sci
ences award. Her scholarship
will be used for research in
the field of rarified gases in
outer space. Also from Tai
wan is Wendy Shi Pi, who is
working on her doctorate in
aeronautical sciences.
Barbara ..raupa from
Michigan entered University
of California at Los Angeles
for advanced work in aero
nautical engineering, special
izing in guidance and control
systems; Diane Lemaire of
Australia, after a career in
experimental aerodynamics.
is returning to school to earn
her master's degree, and Suz
anne Palocz, a native of Hun
gary, is working on her doc
torate at Polytechnic Insti
tute of Brooklyn, where she
is concentrating her research
on magneto-aerodynamics.
Zonta International in sup
porting this project to honor
the memory of Amelia Ear
hart, serves both gifted young
women and the advance of
aeronautics.
Swimsuits for 1963 follow
the trend of more coverage.
As opposed to the strapless.
tightly fitted look of former
years, more high necklines
wide straps and a generally
easier fit predominate. One
maker is showing a "swim
shirt" - styled like an un
dershirt with wide slraps that
form a rounded neckline.
west, find it difficult because
of the long distances between
sizeable towns.
As an example he pointed
out the Gregg Smith singers
who appeared here January
20. They would have to trav
el several hundred miles to
their next date in Canada.
Most of the artists concert
izing now do not find it to
their advantage to appear
west of the Mississippi.
Mr. Foster considered the
decision of the Medford board
to change from a fall to a
spring membership drive a
step in the right direction, in
asmuch as Medford may be
able to buy its artists before
their tours are completely
sold out and there are no
dates available.
He is making a service call
to all civic music groups in
me northwest area to assist
in preliminary planning for
the 1963-64 season.
Medford's eight dollar fee
for adults and four dollar fee
for students is a little more
than some but considerably
less than many associations
charge for a yearly member
ship, the speaker pointed out.
with this money the towns
buy four or five concerts each
season.
The question of the number
of concerts is often debated.
Some persons would like few
er concerts and better known
more expensive artists, while
others enjoy one or two big
names and two or three less
er known artists who are just
oegmning their musical careers.
Mr. Foster stated more Deo-
plc are pleased by a greater
number of concerts and a
wider variety of entertainment.
Mrs. Darell Huson. Drosi-
dent, announced the SDrine
membership drive would be
held the middle of May. The
date will be announced later.
She also invites anyone, es
pecially newcomers to the val
ley who are interested in cul
tural projects, to assist in the
drive.

the child's waist. Then put a
buttonhole at the end of each
strap and sew extra buttons

Newly installed offices of
the Episcopal Churchwomcn

the Biblical parable on tal
ents, in which each woman
was given a check for one dot'
lar and was challenged to use
her talents in making it into

ed by Edison Thoma, member

pany, Medford, a, id Mr.
Evans is an executive of Alley
Brothers Lumber company,

Mrs. Irving Lord, president
of the Ashland league, ex
plained the reason for a pro
gram such as this, saying:
Using a report made in
1957 as a basis foi study,
League research people found
that in general Oregon's in
dustry seemed tb profit more
than it suffered from foreign
trade.
At the same lime, though,
they found that the lumber
and wood products industries
seemed to be suffering a good
deal, particularly from im
ports of Canadian softwood
into this country, and to some
extent from imports of Japa
nese plywood.
"Evidence of damage was
shown in the number of mills
closed between 1951 and 1957
(about half) and in employ
ment figures (17 per cent decrease).
"They found that while
logging and milling showed
a marked decrease in employ
ment, plywood and pulp prod
ucts has shown a marked in
crease, but not enough to com
pensate and that in spit's of
the decrease In employment
and the number of mills,
overall production has held
almost steady.
