The organization of Knights ' Templars developed during , the time of the Crusades -' when hundreds of thousands of people in Europe became Imbued with the desire to : make a pilgrimage to the . Holy Lands as a penitence for their sins. As these people were at the mercy of the in fidels" who were in control , of much of their route, the need for protection gradually developed into the Knights Templar organization which eventually took over the po licing of not only the land routes but the sea routes as well. So greatly honored were these men for their spirit and fidelity in defending the Christian religion and its principles that the organiza tion, although greatly modi fied, has continued to exist to this day.

(UPI) The American Woman Discrimination Stil Objected to By HARRY FERGUSON Uniltd Press International Washington-iUPll- American women complain that when they go Into business, men stack the cards against them. Statistics prove they are right because few women have fought their way to the lop of big corporations and in fac tories their pay frequently Is lower than that paid to men for equivalent work. There are thousands of rich women in the United Slates, but most of them-Doris Duke and Barbara Mutton arc examples-inherited the money. Women own about half the stocks, bonds and similar per. sonal property in the nation and most of them turn the management of the assets over to men. Albert E. Schwabaeh cr Jr., San Francisco Invest ment banker, recently told a University of California sym posium that some women fall In love with certain stocks just as they do with men. "They arc as likely to de velop affectionate feelings toward their investments," lie said, "often buying or refusing to buy for purely emotional reasons. Affections are prop erly bestowed upon people, they can perhaps be bestowed upon boots, but they ought never to be directed toward stocks and bonds." Goes Into Action Women have complained so long about discrimination in business and industry that President Kennedy has gone into action. He appointed a commission on the status of women which is still at work but has come up witlt some preliminary findings. One of thetn is that there arc about 2!1 million Amen can women who work regtr larly or Intermittently and that Mi per cent of them earn less than SS.DHU a year. Several years ago Fortune Montague PTA Planning Show Montague - Reports from various committee heads of the "Hill-Billy Iloedown," this year's annual spring pro duction of the Montague Parent-Teacher association indi cate that good progress is be ing made in outlining the show's numerous d a n e c s. songs and skits. It will be presented March 7-8-!). Must of the members of the cast have been holding daily rehearsals either at their homes or at (lie Montague au ditorium, where the show will be presented. Several others have been working on the props, backdrops, and repaint ing of the stage in preparation of the show: east members have been making their own costumes. A general rehearsal will be held Wednesday night. Febru ary 20, at the auditorium, at which time those in charge will arrange the order of the 20 acts for their final appear ance.

If froen. remove from freeer the nia before and let stand at room in Industry magazine surveyed the role of women in big corporations and came up with this: "In spite of the loosening of prejudice, women still have not been given top Jobs in big corporations. General Motors has no women executives, and not even a woman designer or engineer. "General Electric has a few technicians, research associ ates and women in personnel but no women executives ex cept for the head of the ad visory consumer institute. "DuPonl has a women lab oratory section head and a departmental control manag er. U.S. Slcl has no women executives. A. T. and T., al though 60 per cent of its em ployees are women, has in its central executive group a lone woman assistant secretary. ' Standard Oil of New Jersey has two asislanl secretaries. U.S. Rubber for years has given women supervisory jobs in certain plants, but no de partment heads are women." Deny Prejudice All big corporations insist there is no prejudice against women, and David Sarnoff of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) staled it Ibis way: "If you were to ask me to give you one good reason why we have no women vice presidents in RCA, I couldn't. It is just habit and tradition as well as the fact that women are not looked upon as perma nent in their positions." I lie tact that women arc looked upon as here today and gone tomorrow, according to research of the federal agen cies concerned with the prob lem, is their principal handi cap. The statistics are heavily weighted by the vast number of girls who lake jobs as clerks and stenographers merely to fill in time until they (piit to get married. Other roadblocks to women in business include: - Most companies are re luctant to have women super vise departments where males are employed. -Women are too openly emotional in their approach to business problems. -Women have substantially higher rates of absenteeism. -Few women have the train ing or knowledge for high level positions. War Helps At the turn of the century about the only jobs open to American women were school teaching, nursing, making hats or dresses and working as domestic servants. Oppor tunities widened and increas ed, hitting a peak during World War U which was the heyday of Rosir the Riviter and Winnie the Welder. Wo men never had it so good be fore or since Twenty-two states have laws forbidding wage discrim ination against women, and an eunal pav provision is writ ten into thousands of union contracts. Nevertheless, a sur vey by the National Office Management association showed that one-third of the firms paid women less than men for eipiavilent work. Two.stnkmg examples were banks and laundries. Women bank tellers with less than live years experience averaced from S.'i to $1.1 a week less : than lor men Willi the same period of service. Women 'laundry workcis gol from 9 to 19 cents less per hour than men. Social Events mm "The best thing of all friends and neighbors." It was C. C. (Pop) Hoover talking about the big party which had been given for him and his wife, Elsie, on their golden wedding anniversary. Pop went on to say that as he and Elsie greeted the hundreds of guests, some incident or every one that went through the receiving line. This was no formal party. Held in Eagle Point Grange hall, it was attended by scores of children of all ages as well as adults, and the 500 or so that signed the guest book didn't include the small fry. The guest book, by the way, turned out to be too small and the last callers signed their names on pieces of paper hastily rounded up. Among the guests were Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in uniform whole troops. The Hoovers and the youngsters are partners in a vast tree-planting program. In recent years Pop has bought thousands and thousands of little trees which have been given away to school children. Scouts and other groups and these are being planted and tended in parks, yards and along roadsides throughout southern Oregon. The Eagle Point Grangers, Keep Oregon Green officials and oth ers have assisted from time to time. The tree-planting program is a favorite with Pop, and he has another shipment coming in this week for distribu tion to Central Point children. Pop spent half an hour talking with Potpourri one afternoon last week, and ventures of years gone by. Way back in the Twenties Pop got the idea that the wild grasses in this area should be used for pasture planting all that had to be done was to find a way of harvesting the seed from the native grasses and planting them in cultivated plots. E fcJt . . f2t9' iVv.-V.r'-- A It's too long a story lo tell here, but one of the ideas dreamed up by Pop and his cohorts was the scattering of some of this grass seed from a plane. So they did, partly to see how successful this would Oregon and Jackson county as a seed-growing area. Pop supplied seed of poa bulbosa, one of the blue grasses, Art Starbuck (at back), early-day stunt pilot who kept his plane al the Mcdford airport, piloted his "jenny" and no less than Herb Grey (up front), the Mail Tribune's advertising manager, also wearing helmet and goggles, threw out the seed. Horace Bromley, Copco public relations expert, was out in the field lo supervise taking of pictures. This seeding was done at the Hoover's farm near Jacksonville. This picture, copies of which are owned by both Pop and Herb, and stories of the new seed scattering method, were printed throughout the U.S. Pop also experimented with spraying from planes. Herb recalled that Pilot Star buck was killed not long after while flying in California. m One grandchild was unable to attend the anniversary party. The Claud Hoover's older daughter, Claudia Kay, was recently graduated from college with a degree in occupa tional therapy and has just started her internship at Fair mont hospital. San Lcandro, Calif., making it impossible for her to come north for the big event. As usual. Potpourri enjoyed meeting the youngsters who posed for Sunday's front page pictures. Cheryl and Nancy Stanley, two of the older ones, were especially friendly and filled with talk about their activities. Both belong to a number of 4-11 clubs, including the Lake Creek Rancheros; Cheryl also belongs to the Eyes and Knives club, which is both sewing and cooking, and Nancy to the Lake Creek Wranglers, a beef club. Nancy and her sister have already learned about the pitfalls of farming and ranching. Ten-year-old Nancy volunteered the information, ruefully, that she had cleared only S10 on her 4-H club steer last summer. "The prices at the auction were rather low, and then my steer just didn't fatten like he should have. All that work for only Sll):" O S.

ONLY 2 MORE DAYS February Fur Clearance Sttrn F.nt Furs at Silt Priccg Rcitvling and Repairing at Special tow Pricti MEDFORD TERMS mm Women's News Princess Margaret Asks Mate for Fashion Advice By MARGARET SAVILLE London-tUPIl-Princess Mar garet believes in asking her husband, former society pho tographer Lord Snowdon, for advice on what fashions she should wear. "Tony can tell me what's best photographically," says the princess, who is inevitably followed by the cameras whenever she appears in pub lic. But she does not necessar ily follow everything he sug gests, according to friends. She is already planning a wardrobe for the brilliant functions and parties that start after Easter, centered around Princess Alexandra's wedding in April to business man Angus Ogilvy and the state visit of King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola of the Bel gians in May. Makes Sketches Princess Margaret always makes sketches of her ideas, cuts out glossy magazine pho tos and collects fabric pat terns to help her visualize what a dress or coat is going to look like. She then dis cusses her notions with Lord Snowdon. The royal couple had plan ned a visit to Paris in March, now cancelled, to open the Hertford hospital and attend its ball. The princess keenly interested in Paris fashions also had been expected to see some clothes as well. See Courturier She was expected to see couturier Yves St. Laurent's spring collection. The princess has already met the former Dior designer several times and likes his clothes because they are designed for petite women. Jean Desses is another Paris designed admired by the prin cess. Her trousseau included two of his dresses. After their planned trip to Paris, the couple had hoped to move into their new house at Kensington palace during the quiet pre-Eastcr weeks when the royal family under takes few public engagements because of Lent. Recent Fir But the recent fire in the upper story of the palace and the present freezing weather means work on the building may not be finished in time. The roof must first be re paired and tested before in terior decoration can be re sumed. The princess had wanted everything to be ready for a series of small dinner parties and cocktail receptions in April and May, when she could be hostess to many of the foreign royalties and other distinguished guests who will be in London then. Platinum Lustre Black Patent Central t Min It is impossible to entertain in the couple's present small apart ment at the palace, where six chairs in the dining room are a squeeze. In the dining room in the new house the princess plans to place a long antique walnut table with 20 chairs, one of her wedding gifts from the royal family. The new drawing room also will be much larger, and the hall wide enough for grace ful, announced entrances. The princess has not given up hope of becoming a lead ing hostess this spring. Al most every day she goes out in knee-boots, a heavy coat and scarf to see the progress of the reconstruction and en courage the builders. If the present cold weather lets up, outside work can be speeded up and the interior then completed.
