Seniof Citizens Form New Corps A group of senior citizens of the Medford area wishing to be of service to the com. munity and at the same time gather together for fun and fellowship have organized a new group within the Jackson County chapter, American Red Cross.

I admire you for all your creativity but some of it Is costing me money thr.l I'm not get ting my money's worth f r o m. What brings all this about Is the fact I've been u.y F.ui.y cleaning out a closet of clothes and thinking in terms of what will gn on into the future. . . Some of the contents I'm tempted to send back to you, because It's partly your fault they're Just garments hang ing there, not getting any wearing. Yes, partly mine, I'll admit, for falling for them - especially in view of all the fashion shows I've scon through the years. By now I should be able to eliminate the duds before I say, "charge it" to the salesgirl. I'd say take back your TO FOOD FLOWERS - SHRUBS PLANTERS BOOSTER POWDER WITH IRON CHELATES 2 STORES 10th and South Fir Corntr 6th Bartlett Women's News Mr. Evans are (left to right) Mrs. Polly Offutt, president of the new group; Mrs. Evans, the treasurer, and Mrs. Irene Mit chell, secretary. The Evans are making the island lour with a group of 70 Baptist church members who chartered a 70-pas-senger jet plane for the trip. plan to help when the chap ter has rummage sales, plant sales and card parties. In the chapter office ihey will substitute for staff aides when needed: they will offer to type, stuff envelopes and sort material for civic drives such as the Medford Crusade. Summing up the new corps a spokesman said "These are some of the services up to the present time. No doubt there will be others, for In our group there arc those skilled in many ways, with years of experience, with time io spend and the desire to help our fellow man." Creativity mink, like in the popular song, if I had one. But you can have back that sable-collated "walking suit" which I thought was a real bargain be cause it had gone through sev eral markdowns in the dress shop. Now I know that some other women shoppers were smarter than I. The suit Is loo heavy for our occasional mild winter days and not heavy enough for the cold ones. And just try tucking a sable-collared suit beneath a coal. Take back your sleeveless dresses for winter. I bought one in a handsome double knit wool Jersey It's been hanging more than office-going ever since the boss took one look at bared arms on one of the more frigid days and commented, "My lord, it makes nic cold just to look at you!" Is that the kind of reaction a dress should draw from a male? Take back your muffled neckline treatment on suits. I bought a beauty in red wool when the muffler fad first hit. and swathed my neck with its matching scarf - (or about half an hour. Then off came Jacket, out came scis sors, off came the scarf - and I could breathe again. The muffler's been hanging since in the closet and I figure the only good I'll ever got out o( I It Is as patch if the seat of 1 the skirt gives way, or as I waistband inset in case hem I lines ever come tumbling, j Take back those intrrlin ings of poor quality, although I my dressmaker will regret ' this move.

Mr. Rosier, a deputy supervisor of the Willamette National forest, formerly was Union Creek ranger. MPO0R1 A certain letter is being quoted rather often this spring. It was written by L. D. Harris, chief of police of Manassas Park, Va to teen-agers of his community, and distributed at a parent-teacher association meeting. Chief Harris wrote: Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-agers "What can we do? Where can we go?" The answer is go home. Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves. Mow the lawn. Shovel the walk. Wash the car. Learn to cook. Scrub some floors. Repair the sink. Build a boat. Gel a job. Help the minister, priest or rabbi, (he Red Cross, the Salvation Army. Visit the sick. Assist the poor. Sludy your lessons. And then when you are through and not tired, read a book. Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your vil lage docs not owe you recreation facilities. The world does not owe you a living. You owe the world something. You owe it your time and energy and your talents 50 that no one will be at war or in poverty, or sick, or lonely again. In plain simple words: Grow up: quit being a crybaby; gel out of your dream world . . . start acting like a man or a lady. Chief Harris left out one thing we would have added. Plant a garden. Potpourri grew up in a little town on the coast of Wash ington stale where the home, the school and the church were the backbone of the community. We went to school during the week, to Sunday school and church on Sunday. There was a movie once a week, there were parties, picnics, school basketball games and track meets in season, club meetings and music. We had a piano, which took years to pay for, and the family gathered around it to sing. At home there was cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing without benefit of electricity or gas. We girls helped with all these chores and others. We learned to sew and cook, to tend the chickens and in the growing season, we gardened. The family grew all manner of vegetables for they were not often (or salt in the village grocery store, and we had a (lower garden. We grew several different kinds of berries and fruits and t icsc were harvested and canned or made into preserves, Jillics and Jams. How wonderfully good the apple butter and strawberry Jmu tasted on niotlw's freshly baked bread. The three girls were quite able to eat a whole loaf of the still-warm bread as soon as we arrived home from school, and without spoiling our appetite for supper, it might be added. And why do we recall this now? Because we did not have to ask "What can we do? Where can we go?" Our town had no recreation center, no YMCA, no bowling alley or skating rink. There were no tennis courts, or golf courses and only a very (ew automobiles. There were no radios or television sets one wonderful summer we had the loan of a phonograph and a few raspy records which we thought were the most wonderful things in the world But we never lacked for something to do. We were quite poor, as were most of our friends and neighbors, but it never occurred to us that we were underprivileged in any way. And we never heard the words "juvenile delinquent.'' OS.
