Eighth grade through high school students are included. A number of students from Medford High school and Hed rick and McLoughlin Junior High schools have registered. Registrations are not needed, however, those in charge point out. Students from outlying coun ty schools are invited, it is stressed. Anyone wanting fur ther information may call Mrs. Grace Berg, dean of girls at Medford High school. Victoria Shellenberg Parents of the students also are invited to hear Miss Shellen berg explain scholarships avail able to the seven schools, Bar nard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holy oke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley. A representative of this program comes only at three-year intervals. Under the scholarship pro gram the conference has since 1944 made regional scholarships available on a competitive basis to secondary school students. The program is operative in 14 states of the Central, South and Far West. Its purpose is to bring together on Eastern cam puses a more complete repre sentation of students from west of the Mississippi river by pro viding educational opportunities at the member colleges to young women of outstanding intellec tual ability and achievement, re gardless of financial means. Ninety-two students who ap plied under the program will enter the Seven Colleges this fall. Of this number, 20 have been named Seven College schol ars. Scholarship assistance to taling $100,200 has been award ed by Die Seven Colleges to those students with financial need. Miss Shellenberg, who earned her bachelor's degree at Welles ley, with a major in history of art, took the certificate at Har-vard-Radcliffe program in busi ness administration. Formerly employed in an administrative post by Baird - Atomic, Cam bridge, Mass., she also has been associated with the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard university. mwm Thursday's mail brought a postcard from Katherine Chapman, The Tribune's Hombrook correspondent who wrote that she was on her way home after a vacation in Missouri. The card was a colored picture of the Ozark mountains, showing the fall foliage, and we agree with the Missourians that their "Flaming Fall Revue" is very lovely. But Pappy and Potpourri returned home from Central Oregon Sundav night by way of the Diamond Lake cutoff, Union Creek and Prospect, and what we saw we believe is more colorful than the picture of the Ozarks. The drive up the Crater Lake highway ir. the autumn is a lavorite one some years the foliage is brighter than others, and this October seems to be one ot tne "vintage We don't know what kind of trees grow on the Ozark hills, but along the highway in the Union Creek and Prospect area there's maple, dogwood, sumac we cannot identity. Last aunaay The dogwood is mostly in shades of pink, some quite pale and others in brighter and bolder The maples are gold, some gold with only an occasional shaft of reddish tints showing. We didn't see many sumac, but where these do grow, sometimes in gardens and yards, they are now a flaunting red that brings exclamations. We saw one grouping close to the highway if we remember correctly It was south of Prospect, that was extra ordinarly lovely. In some areas the underbrush growing thickly among the ever greens (we aren't sure what this is) has smallish leaves of i rich yellow that seem to glow in the half-light of late afternoon. Usually we feel that the bright light of mid-day shows the autumn colors up to their best advantage, but Sunday's experience convinced us that in the late afternoon of a dark day the foliage can provide rare beauty. If wind and rain have not been too severe ii racut days, the fnliaee may still be out ii all its glory this wek end. At eay ate. we think it would b wtrtk to. driv.

Miss Shellenberg will speak to Ashland area students about 3:30 or i p.rrf. the same day and continue from there to Kla math Falls. She will be a houseguest Mon day night of Mrs. Malcolm By ers, a graduate of Vassar col lege, who was contacted to make local arrangements for the speaker.

They chose as a site the village at Atoka, which boasts only a country store and a gasoline service station.

The Kennedy home sits on a 39-acre tract, once part of the huge landholdings of Hubert Phipps, a multi-millionaire cattle-raiser and newspaper publisher. The White House originally estimated the cost of construction of the home at about $45,000 but area builders believe the final total was much higher. A special road was cut through the woods to the house from U.S. Route 50, and an ar tificial pond was also built. Three-Stall Stable There is also a three-stall stable for Mrs. Kennedy's horse "Sardir" Caroline's Pony "Mac aroni," and John Jr.'s newly acquired "Leprechaun," a shaggy little pony, the gift of Irish Prime Minister Sean F.

Tobin when she talked for a dinner meeting of Jackson County As sociation of Insurance Women Tuesday night. The event was held at Oak Knoll Country club, Ashland, with Mrs. David Walsh, president of the group, presid ing. Mrs. Tobin, on the faculty of Southern Oregon college, toured the Iron Curtain countries last summer with a group sponsored by the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The traveler said that most of all she was im oressed with the vastnpss nf 60 different nationalities speak ing about 225 dialects and the fact that Russian workers sel dom smile or laugh. Mrs. Tobin also said "You don't see any men working in Russia," adding that women sweep the streets, construct bridges and buildings, tend the subway system, service air planes, etc. The men are mostly in uniform, either as soldiers or as officials, she said. Prices High The teacher also mentioned that prices are extremely high, that food is often poor by Amer ican standards, that it is scarce and that both Russians and vis itors stand in line for everything they buy. Because clothing prices are so high, Russians sur reptitiously try to buy garments from visitors, even though it is SATURDAY ONLY! 1103 No. RIVERSIDE Used Appliances . . . fatpuini: 2 SPEED WASHER Simple pushbuttons and 3 cycle dial lets you quickly select the proper wash and rinse tempera tures, amounts of water and wash time . . . even agitation and spin actions you order , , , for any kind of fabric. s217 WITH TRADE Deluxe Matching DRYER Pushbuttons let you select the tem peratures you want to custom dry even the most delicate fabrics.

However, those in Mrs. Tobin's group had been warned by the tour leader not to sell their possessions. Mrs. Tobin said she most of all enjoyed the Russian theaters, palaces and museums, which she described as "exquisite and lavish beyond words." The tour members were in Moscow, Len ingrad, Kiev and Odessa and Mrs. Tobin thought the last city was the most beautiful she saw. The buildings present great contrasts, the speaker said, be cause many of the recently erected ones are plain, porly constructed and out of repair. Another contrast mentioned was the extremely wide streets, in liusian cities, which would take 10 to 12 lanes of traffic, but on which there is little traffic since few cars are privately owned. Visit Farm The group visited a large farm near Odessa, and Mrs. Tobin re marked that the food in the Ukraine is marvelous. She said evidences of the severe drought were to be seen in the stunted grain crops. The tourists were interested to learn that oil for making machine lubricants and margarine are made from the vast acreages of sunflowers grown in the Ukraine.
