MEDFORD SHOPPING CENTER Phone 772-9990 Camat Shopping with convenient parking On. Omar J. Noles and William T, llodion Mrs. Neil Davidson, Lenora drive, Medford, brought a large number of French dolls to the Manor club room Sun day last week, for our enjoy ment and information. Mrs. Davidson has a collection of more than 400 dolls, which she plans to exhibit in classi fied sections from time to time; and, eventually, j liii.n a complete exhibit of all of them for the benefit of some favorite charity. This doll collecting hobby is a revelation to me. I knew that a number of people col lect a few dolls for personal pleasure; but I now learn that "serious collecting" has joined the widespread coin and stamp fad. Consequently, this enthusiasm, plus the scarcity of authentic examples of dolls made in many lands down through the generations has pushed the prices charged and received for them up into the stratosphere. Collectors' dolls, of course, are not for children. For cen turies they have been used to model gowns, millinery and accessories and were then taken from one European court to another. The French dolls we Manor members saw here were dressed in complete and luxurious outfits hand made, including true-to-life Follies Bergcre costumes; with d r es s e s , hats, coats, shoes, dainty undies, even per fectly made miniature cor sets (or was it "stays"?), with tiny white kid gloves, fans and beaded purses. They all had beautiful, real hair, were all appropriately named, and some nao. tnc most pro nounccd and intriguing per sonaiities. I shall be antici. pating a visit to other displays of her character, modern, and oriental dolls in the future. A number of men joined other fascinated members in viewing a miniature early American kitchen (liower j.a. dens outside the windows yet), lighted and absolutely perfect in every detail. This was the only miniature house or furniture that Mrs. David son has collected so far. Spring must be just around the corner Manor members are flocking home from weeks and even months bask ing in southern sun. 'the Mark G o 1 d y s enjnyed Yucatan, Mexico; the Ralph Moores have been wintering in south ern Arizona; the Elmer Franz was spent weeks in Cali fornia; Mrs. W. VV. Howard vacationed in a dutc-groved motel, Msi Hazel Culbick and her Canadian! guest, Miss Eleanor Cibbs, who had been visiting her in the Manor, en joyed Palm Springs; and Mrs. Rease Bralcy joined Eastern friends at an Arizona guest ranch. All of these members, plus my husband and I in De cember, called on Mrs. Gra ham Foote, our member in Palm Springs. Methinks she should change the name of her delightful mobile home to "Rogue Manor in the Desert.' Civil Defense To Be Subject "Disarmament: A Safer Civil Defense," will be the subject of a speech to be giv en by Mrs. Harlan P. Bos- worth Jr., on Monday, March 11, for members of St. Cath erine's guild. The meeting is scheduled for 8 p.m. In the Parish house of St. Mark's Episcopal church. A question and answer pe riod will follow Mrs. Bos worth's talk. She will be in troduced by Mrs. Sam Janes, program chairman. Hostesses for the evening will be Mcsdamcs Ivan Point er, Robert Walker and Louis Thurman. In Hawaii Ashland Spending a month's vacation in the Ha waiian Islands is Mrs. Que ritta Kacgi. 376 East Main street, who left San Francis co by jet Wednesday afternoon. Among the visitors at the Manor now are Mr. and Mrs. Judson Williams, from Gran ada Hills, Calif., who are old friends of the Elmer Franz was and the George Ham monds. They are now on the waiting list for membership in the Manor and hope to re turn soon. They brought with them a sister and brolhcr-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Mar tin, from Elgin, Illinois. The Martins, also, are thinking seriously of lining up for a tuiure apartment here.

Administralor Walter HlR gins introduced our two new est members of the Manor board of trustees: Mrs. Wanda Snow, accompanied by her husband, Dr. Milton Snow, and Dr. Elliott Bccken and Mrs. Beckon. They were Manor guests for dinner this week. . ' Another of our valley school groups came to enter tain us Crater High, from Central Point. Originally they planned to present a play but found they needed "trap doors", perhaps lo disappear into nr for ghosts lo rise from, and those the Manor had none of, so they switched to music. Their choir. "The Lavalicrs". directed by Norman Caroth ers, head of the music depart ment, sang a varied program of Broadway hits and serious music; and Mr. Carothers lively commentary in intro ductions were an enjoyable addition to the music. We hope ticy will come again. Annual Tea Announced The date of the annual sil ver tea given by the liill ercsl tea committee of the American Cancer society has beeivset for Wednesday, April 17.
