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.

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

seems to be one ot tne "vintage

but along the highway in the Union Creek and Prospect area

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.

3:30 or i p.rrf. the same day

Kennedys Moving Into
New Home in Country
By HELEN THOMAS
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPD-Presi-
dent Kennedy and his family
are finally moving into their
new country home on Rattle
snake Mountain, near Atoka,
Va.
This weekend will be the first
the Kennedy family has spent
in the single story, yellow
stucco "cottage" deep in the
heart of the Virginia hunt coun
try, four miles west of Middle
burg. The seven-bedroom rambler-style
house, completed last
June, is in a picturesque set
ting overlooking the Blue Ridge
Mountains.
Mrs. Kennedy and the chil
dren, Caroline, almost 6, and
John Jr., 2, planned to go to
Atoka this afternoon. The Presi
dent will join them Saturday
afternoon after participating in
dedication ceremonies for the
new Robert Frost Memorial
Library at Amherst College,
Amherst, Mass.
Mrs. Kennedy sent a house
keeper to Atoka earlier this
week to get the house ready
for the First Family.
Had Rented "Glen Ora"
The Kennedys decided to
build a home after nearly two
years of renting "Glen Ora,"
an estate near Middleburg.
They chose as a site the village
at Atoka, which boasts only a
country store and a gasoline
service station.
For the past two and one-half
months the Kennedys have
rented the home to two differ
ent families. Washington invest
ment broker A. Dana Hogdon
and his wife leased it during
July and August. In September
it was rented to Mr. and Mrs.
Ogden Armour, a wealthy Cal
Eastern Star
History Given
ASHLAND When members
of Alpha chapter, Order of East
ern Star, met last week in the
Masonic lodge hall they heard
a former worthy matron, Mrs.
George Ward, give a history of
the fraternal order.
Eastern Star was founded in
the 18th century and has grown
to a membership of more than
three million in 13,000 chapters,
she said. Its original purpose is
still the aim of every member,
"one common bond of fellowship
and love for humanity."
Several distinguished guests
attended the lodge meeting
which was conducted by Mrs.
John Mills, worthy matron, and
George Thomas, worthy patron.
Included in the introductions
were Mrs. Lorena McNair, past
grand matron of Oregon; George
Findley, a past worthy patron
of Alpha chapter and member
of the state home endowment
committee, and Mrs. William
Weber, grand representative of
the grand chapter of Oregon.
Mrs. McNair told of having
attended a reception in Silverton
recently where Mrs. Merle Ma-
har, associate grand matron of
the grand chapter of Oregon,
was the honored guest, and
George Findley reported having
visited the Masonic and eastern
Star Home at Forest Grove.
Hostesses for the refreshment
hour at the close of the meeting
were the Mesdames Glenn Revel,
Leo Zupan, and Dorothy Roy
ston. A school of instruction will be
held November 5 preceded by
a covered dish dinner.
'Our Heritage'
Is Topic For
Ashland Women
ASHLAND Against a patrio
tic background of flags and a
tea table centered with brilliant
autumn flowers and foliage, the

Church of Christ held its Octo
ber meeting.
The evening's theme, "Our
Heritage," was used in the pro
gram directed by Mrs. E. A.
Bay. Mrs. Charles Gettling
SDoke on the subject, using ex-
cerots from a book by Paul
Harvev. while Mrs. Bay con
tinued the thought with Bibie

clair led in several hymns typi
cal of "Our Heritage."
Family heirlooms, antique

exclusive Foxcroft school' at
Middleburg.
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.
Lemass.
The complex white house
communications system, which
travels with the President
wherever he goes, has been set
up in the house, not far from
the cozy living room with its
huge fireplace and the library.
The over-all design of the
home is that of an oblong. The
rooms facing the west include
the bedrooms of the First Lady
and the President, a library, a
living room and the dining
room.

Impressions
Impressions of life behind the
Iron Curtain countries were de
scribed by Mrs. J. P. 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

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.
Tourists in Russia from the
United States immediately no
