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.
