CALL TODAY Snider's lowship met in our lecture room - about one hundred present - to hear a talk given by Dr. Harry B. Scholefleld, minister of First Unitarian church in San Francisco, Calif. The lecture was fol lowed by a discussion period and a social hour. Mr. and Mrs. George Kuhl ke from Lonu Island, New York, were Manor guests of Mrs. C. rtensc Braley from Monday afternoon until Wednesday forenoon. During that 38 to 40 hours the Bob Evanses, Mark Goldys, Elmer Franzwas and Mrs. Stephen Hayes entertained for them Mr.s. Braley gave a Country club luncheon, a bridge party in her apartment and a games party, and the Manor, itself, roi into the act with the regu lar square dance session. Both Mr. and Mrs. Kuhlke and Mrs. Braley attended the same kindergarten In New York state, the two women went on through elementary and boarding, school together, and the thrue of them met for a winter vacation at an Arizona guest ranch this past year. Tis said - ",01d friends arc best." I have found it utterly im possible to keep up with or find out about the many nice and interesting looking Manor hourcguesLs during the Easter season. I did meet and enjoy the charming Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Game from Chicago, 111., who were visiting my fifth floor neighbor, Mrs. Wal- think that next time we should j lcr Svk,es- They were also ex- lensiveiy iMiiuriaiiicn in uie Manor and at the Country The Manor's second hobby show was held this week in the auditorium. It may not have been quite so large, but it seemed to be even better -the exhibits were really clever and the workmanship truly perfect. I wish I might de scribe it all but only can give a partial list of the many interesting items. There were wood carvings of all kinds from all the woods In the world, 1 know; homemade and hand-carved furniture; u microfilm camera; a lapidary display; enameled objects of art; weaving and knitting that was incredibly perfect and in wonderful col ors for sweaters and dresses, including some silk ribbon dresses; jewelry, dolls made from old-fashioned quilting pieces; dozens of pots of love ly African violets - yet. The rugs and needlepoint would set one's teeth on edge with envy. AIpo displayed were photography and photograph tinting and beautiful paint ings; bird watching literature and bird pictures AND a play er going with the life-like bird calls. Tom Moslcr brought a miniature, old - fashioned steam railroad engine with its coal car, made by hand from various metals. It stood perfectly still but the tiny and perfect wheels were run ning like mad. I thought of my small nephew and wished that he and all youngsters could watch the stars in their eyes. Already, two of my valley friends have eluded me for not inviting thrm up, so I do enlarge the exhibition, per haps, add an antique show (there arc some real treasures in the Manor), hold it for two days with our own Manor mu sicians furnishing background music, and permit members to invite outside guests. I'm merely thinking aloud, mind you, and may not be able to iwtug it, but I do promise to try. Another valley organization has Joined the many who arc invited by members to hold meetings In the Manor. The Rogue Valley Unitarian Kel- club. While I fully appreciate the danger to our fruit crops from frost and loudly lament the after effects of black smoke in our valley, I still must ad nut that row upon row of blazing smudge pots in the orchards seen from our win dows is a beautiful spectacle It is, however, depressing when our flag is hanging limp - not a breath of air - to see the industry smoke boil up and join the smudge pall EGON-0-CLEAN Professional Dry Cleaning with REAL ECONOMYI 38!

J2 North Riverside NU-WAY CLEANIRS 702 West Main By HELEN THOMAS United Press International Washington - HIM - First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy ir getting strong competition as Washington's queen of beauty and fashion - from a member of her own family. Mrs. Edward M. (Ted) Ken nedy. wife of the new Massa chusetts senator and sister-in- law of the President, has won rave notices as one of the most beautiful newcomers on the capital scene. A natural blonde with green eyes and a glittering smile, Joan Kennedy has a re freshing, unaffected manner that has charmed the oldsters on Capitol Hill and enchanted the sophisticates about town. She also is learning fast that she is a celebrity, and that what she says is news. Article Upsets Her The 26-year-old wife of the youngest senator still is upset over a magazine interview which quoted her as saying "Jackie talked me into trying a wig. She has three of them and wears them a lot, espe cially for traveling. In an interview with Unit ed Press International, Mrs Kennedy denied vehemently making any reference to wigs worn by the President's wife. "The First Lady doesn't have any wigs," she said. "I was very upset when that magazine quoted me as saying that. I never said she had any wigs. She doesn't have any to my knowledge. I certainly would never tell anyone. "I was upset. I feel it is a personal thing. I think the author put it in to be sensational." Others who see the First Lady frequently have been convinced that she has worn wigs on occasion in the cur rent fashion. Phones First Lady Joan found the Kennedys very understanding of the pit falls of Interviews. She tele phoned Jacqueline Kennedy at the White House and found her "very sweet" about it all. 1 m sure she (the First Lady) has been through un fortunate incidents like this," she added. "I told her I hadn't said that." "I don't mind what they say about me," said Joan. "Just so 1 don't offend anyone else." Her open frankness still dis arms the more "hep" in Wash ington who watch everything they say. Asked recently by I a UPI reporter u she was ex pecting her third child, she blurted: "1 don't know for sure." She knows now - for sure The blessed event will occur in August, in Boston. She is happy. "I love children as many as come along," she said. "Ted loves them too. So far I'm doing all right." Her two youngsters are Kara, 3, who looks amazingly like her famous cousin, Caro line Kennedy, 5. Kara's broth er is Ted Jr., 18 months, who now walks and "makes a lot of noise." Has Charming Smile Joan Kennedy has a way of wrinkling her nose in a charming manner when she smiles. She's a slim size 12, wears bright colored simple sheaths with a flair and has a few pieces of striking jew elry. Since her arrival here in the winter, Joan has won the plaudits of other Democratic women because she "cooper ates." She has been digging in on fund drives and other party projects The excitement of moving to Washington is just begin ning to wear down. She has settled temporarily in a rent ed three-story house in fash lonable Georgetown, but is looking for a bigger home. The youngest Mrs. Kennedy has only one sister, Candy, who is married to Robert Mc Murrey, a law student at the University of Texas. She thinks its "wonderful" to be long now to a big family. Soon there will be 22 Kenne dy grandchildren. She has a list of all the birthdays in the family tacked up on the door of her bathroom. Joan Kennedy said every one in the clan is on a first name basis. All the kids call her Joan. Meet at Tea She met Ted Kennedy five years ago at a tea at Manhat tanville college, a Catholic school which his mother and sister Jean also attended. They dated a year and were mar ried in 1998. She is the daugh ter of Harry Wlggin Bennett, a former New York public relations consultant. She evades questions on whether she would like to see her husband in the White House, except to say that whatever he wants, she wants. She does say, however: "I hope I'll be here in Washing ton for a long time." Couple Visits Talent Mr. and Mrs. A. Clark Smith are visiting in Pendleton, Ore.
