Antique Bon White Leathei White Patent Black Patent Red Patent It in SEVENTEEN! y Hat $995 MANOR-ISMS By ETHEIYN EVANS Lucky owners of Kodak stock should rejoice! Manor members are helping to in crease their dividends by us ing miles of film for pictures of our lovely flowers. Op posite the entrance of the Manor there is a long, long and deep row of dazzling, golden daffodils "fluttering and dancing," of course, since there is always a breeze on top of Barneburg hill. Next to the daffodils are beds of scarlet tulips, and across the walk is a wide border of peri winkle in full blue bloom. Above this ground cover bor der are our flowering plum trees with blossoms fairly crowding each other off the branches. Only last summer these little trees were mere twigs. Around our patio we also have flowers and flower ing shrubs, plus the gayly col ored lounging chairs; so, with our green lawns and the wide valley and high mountains as background, no wonder cam eras are out in force. The re cent rain with its wicked companion-the wind, did bat ter the flowers about some, but given a few hours of sun they perk up immediately. The view of our flowers from Shannon drive below was made possible by the work of a group dubbed "The Eastside Improv ement and Backachers Association." These men, under the super vision of our maintenance manager, rented a tractor and mower and completely clear ed that long, sweeping slope of unsightly weeds and brush. This work not only opened a view of the daffodils, but the grounds now present a most attractive appearance. Also, a bit o' sun starts something resembling a stampede of members to the individual garden plots, where men and women start working like mad. We are sure to have wonderful gardens this year. The amazing part of all this "labour of love" is that prob ably these workers have nev er, or certainly not in the immediate past, indulged in such hard manual labor (most of them are strictly professional people), but they go at it with determination and devotion. Miss Blanche Gay and Mrs. Lloyd Small are two new Manor members from Hawaii, increasing our contingent from the Islands. Perhaps we should persuade all these Hawaiian members to plan a Manor party, featuring native cuisine. Some of us Manor mem bers enjoyed just such a feast last week when Mrs. . Julie Tummers, who recently re turned from a trip to Hawaii, invited & large number of guests for an all-out Hawaiian luncheon party at her inn and Fashion! MEDFORD home, Mon Desir. The room was decorated in Island motif throughout; na tive nuts nestled on leaves in coconut bowls on the long tables; a number of guests wore beautiful leis; and tiny orchids were placed at each plate. The same lovely flow ers were used to decorate a large bowl of mixed melon balls on the buffet table, where part of the table dec oration was an enormous ar rangement of flowers, leaves and fruit mostly tropical fruit. Often when traveling, one finds native foods disap pointing; but the many exotic dishes served by Mrs. Tum mers were perfectly prepared and delicious naturally. For me, houses have al ways seemed to have distinct personalities. I enjoyed read ing Eva Hamilton's article in the Mail Tribune about Mon Desir as originally the home of the Fiero family, and I like to hear long-time resi dents of the valley describe large and gay parties given there by owners; so, at dinner parties at Mon Desir, I seem to sense an atmosphere of country home hospitality. It could be that maintaining such an atmosphere has been somewhat on a par with the excellent food served by Mrs. Tummers in achieving the un doubted success of her en terprise. Lynn Sjolund, director of vocal music in Medford High school, and Assistant Director Gary Frame, brought the large sophomore choir In their black and white robes, and a girls' chorus from sophomore, junior and senior classes, for most enjoyable concert in our Manor, auditorium. So many different groups have visited us choirs, chor uses, orchestras, bands, quar tets that we are beginning to realize the truly wonderful music courses our valley schools are giving the chil dren. Each group shows such positive evidence of meticu lous training, faithful prac tice and hard work. Best of all, students and leaders dem onstrate genuine interest and enjoyment in music. We are delighted to have them come and hope they will do often. From Hawaii Mrs. Lena Hanson, Lynwood avenue, with grandson, John F. Ross, 301 her stu- dent at Southern Oregon col lege, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Ross of the Lyn wood address, returned Mon day from a trip to the Hawai ian islands. They spent spring vacation there with Mrs. Han son's son, John Hanson, and family, from Redmond, Ore. YOUR CHARGE ACCOUNT INVITED MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD.
