MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, Many Colors Are New In Footwear Feminine footwear in flash ing colors will lead the "Who's Hue" of the Easter pa rade this year. And leather will be at the bottom of it all - matte and polished cow hides, bright crushed kid- skins, glowing "see-through calfskins, and gleaming -lat ent leather.

Smart ly cut with an eye for the graceful line and the fetching curve, shoes have been "open ed up."

OREGON Dr. Arthur Taylor Honored at Dinner Ashland-Pointinr- out that , the role of retiring teachers j was of extreme importance in growing college because of their freedom to make deci sions based on past experi ence and in their knowledge of the future, Dr. Francis B.

Wel coming this "Challenge of Change," the speaker declared that retired people are needed because they do not have to be answerable for 'their deci sions and therefore may make them wisely without heed to political or other pressures which often hamper decision making. Time for Reexamination "This is a time for reexami nation and adaptation of our entire educational system. It is a time when many mistakes win be made in order to achieve a better educational system, but these mistakes must be made in order to meet the needs of a new world. Without making such mistakes, man will fail to progress because when he fears to make errors in judg ment he tends to stagnate and his civilization to decay." ' Dr. Nickerson pointed out to illustrate the need for change that one in six jobs by 1970 will be involved with the conquest of space and that educators will be design ing, shaping, and Influencing the children who will con quer new worlds.
