Knights Templar Plan
Past Commanders Event
Ashland - Past command
ers of Malta Commandery,
Knights Templar, will be
honored at a dinner set for
Wednesday, February 20, at

. friends and families arc in
j vited to attend and renew as
' sociations.
The commandery hopes
that past commanders night
will develop into an annual
- affair.
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.
Many prominent Masons
are expected to attend. The
commandery's most distin
guished past commander is
the Right Eminent Sir Knight
M, Patrick Dunn, past grand
commander of the Grand
Commandery of Oregon. Also
present will be Right Eminent
Sir Knight John Pond, grand
captain general of the Grand
Commandery of Oregon, and
Right Eminent Sir Knight

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.

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

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.

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.
