Study Club Celebrates Dad's Night Ashland - Twice within a week, members of Fortnightly Study club met. The first time was in celebration of Dad's night when Mrs. Frances Worth was hostess for the an nual Valentine dinner at which guest speakers were Dr. and Mrs. Eugene Bowman who showed pictures they took in Ecuador. Also on the club dinner program was Mrs. Marion Downs, guest of Dr. and Mrs. P. Malcolm Hammond. Mrs. Downs sang several numbers. She recently presented three concerts in the valley, one at Southern Oregon college and the others at the First Metho dist churches in Ashland and Medford. The club's regular meeting was held February 25 at the home of Mrs. William Beagle, 475 Nevada street, with Mrs. Alice Willits presiding and Mrs. Frank Davis giving the book review. . "My Land and My People" by the fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet, is the story of a peo ple faced with Communist in vasion and their struggle to keep some vestige of inde pendence. The young Budd hist priest was called upon to lead the Tibetans when Red China forces threatened. Al though opposed to violence, feeling ran so high that the Dalai Lama fled from the pal ace to prevent a possible mas sacre and traveled across the Himalayas to asylum in India. A study by an international committee of jurists of the Communist atrocities in Tibet has revealed unbclieveable horrors that the author says should serve as a grim warn ing to the world. Despite Us sombre tone the book is writ ten in a gentle forgiving spir it, Mrs. Davis said. Net Perce Indians The day's short subject on Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indian tribe was given by Mrs. Willits who described the tribe's life in the Grande Ronde country of northeastern Oregon and their attempted flight into Canada in 1877, when President Grant ordered enforcement of a restictlve treaty. Chief Joseph fled with 200 warriors and 800 women and children. There was bitter fighting and much suffering until they were forced to sur render within 30 miles of the Canadian border. The survlv. The Manor club and lecture rooms were used for a large meeting of Delta Kappa Gam ma, honorary teachers soror ity. The teachers came from all over Jackson county and several from Grants Pass. Manor members of this sor ority who entertained are Miss Ina Smith, Miss Annette Gray, Miss Ruth Nye and Mrs. Percy Wells. Also, Mrs. Myrtle Murdock, Mrs. W. K. Fisher, Miss Beth Olson and Miss Katheryn Hornibrook at tended as guests. They belong to chapters in their home stales. Invitations to several Man or parties reminds me that, in dubitably, many Manor mem bers love to cook. After con siderable practice and experi ence, they have become ex cellent cooks - and know it. Consequently, it would be misjudging human nature to place such people in an apart ment with a modern, well equipped kitchen and expect them not to cook. Add to the devotees of the hobby the wo men who are born party givers and there one does have a combination. I offer this as an explana tion to a number of valley friends who so often remark that they always find crowds of "Manorites" buying food in all the produce markets; or they watch us filling our parked cars with provisions; or they see us waiting for the Manor bus with laden arms. In the limited space of a column, I can, of course, men tion only a very few of my friends who excess in this cooking and party giving Newcomers Join Medford Club Four newcomers became members of the Medford So journers club during the Feb ruary 28 meeting in the Girls Community club. They are Mrs. Clara Kirsch, Mrs. Russell Barry, Mrs. L. Peter Soots and Mrs. Elver Stults. Attending for the first time were Mrs. Al Bishop, Mrs. Charles Cooley and Mrs. J. Hughes.

Wood; and Mrs. Alfred Costillo, who won a special prize. Hostesses were Mrs. Grace Todd, Mrs. Walter Hatch and Mrs. Ethan Fordyce. A top iary tree was used as a cen terpiece. Fifty-two women at tended. . , . , . Lesson on Doctrine 1 1 Scheduled Tuesday For Relief Society Mrs. Dwaine E. Nelson will give the theology lesson Tues day, March 5, at the Relief society meeting of the Second ward, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The meeting will begin at 10 a.m. at the church, 848 South Ivy street. The lesson will be from the Doctrine and Covenants "The Waters and the Land." She will discuss the belief that while one of the signs of the last days is destruction on the waters, the Lord warns and protects the faithful. All women of the area are invited to attend. A nursery is provided. sort-of-thing, although I could "write a book." A Manor Cookbook might be a good idea, at that. I have heard that Mrs. Wal ter Sykcs, who came here from Pittsburgh, Penn., was called the "Perle Mesta" party -giver of her home crowd. She is still at it here in the Manor. Her specialties arc the fanciest of fancy cakes, and luscious cheese mixtures - some eight differ ent combinations of cheeses. She not only makes these wonderful cakes for her Man or friends on special occa sions, but has invited about 100 of us (a few at a time) into her apartment to enjoy the dclcctablcs, plus coffee or tea. She always invites some newcomer or one lonely or homesick. Mrs. Eric Rowbethan has one sure method of providing her share of the "Harvest of Talents" for her church. She makes out of-this-world orange marmalade from an Old English formula. Many members, including my fam ily, wish the church would call for her contribution oft encr than once in a year. There is, also, the lady of the "yummy" jams and jel lies - Mrs. Augusta Haydon. All summer long she hauled In full crates of berries and other fruit, and now has at least 150 jars of the preserved product stored for future use. All these in addition to the many pints she has served to more than 100 guests, and she serves them with hot, home made bread. Mrs. Mamie Sleeter likes to bake heavenly meringues, pack .them in boxes and have them ready for ice cream and sauce at a moment's notice. Guests at one of Mrs. Sleeter's luncheons are sometimes serv ed a menu of frozen fruit salad, wild rice, sausage and mushroom casserole, hot rolls, creme-de-menthe pie and cof fee. Past Chairmen Ladies of Elks To Be Honored One of the special parties given each year, by the Ladies of Elks, is in honor of past chairmen. This year's event will be a 12 noon luncheon Tuesday, March S in the Elks' club downstairs lounge. Hostesses will be Mrs. Van K. Gilbert, Mrs. James A. Grigsby, Mrs. Larry E. Jun iper, Mrs. Edwin F. Nichols, Mrs. Edward L. Olson, Mrs. Frank W. Payne, Mrs. Ed W. Pease, Mrs. Fred B. Sweeney and Mrs. Wayne M. Turpin. Pinochle, canasta and bridge will be played.
