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

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.
