It's that time of year. One afternoon we stopped off at the John Crawford home on East Main Street long enough to take pictures at the annual Advent Tea of Episcopal Church Women, and last Saturday night we squeezed three events into about three hours. We started out with a brief stop at Frances Littrcll's home for a cocktail parly, went on lo the Country Club to help Kenn Knackstcdt take pictures at the annual Military Ball and then we Ijh : in the Potentate's Ball which Hillah Temple of the Shrine gave at the Armory. We should have gone on to the Rogue Snowmen's program and queen coronation, but decided to let Photographer Larry Holman cone with the queen and her court all by himself. Earlier in the day, FB and Larry covered the Alpha Rho style show at IhoJ Country Club. The eternal question of the society department is "why does everything come at once?" , After seeing Ruth Kline at the Episcopal tea, we decided that more women should wear wigs, and should have wig wardrobes. Mrs. K. has been experimenting, with exciting results. She tucks her black hair under a wig, and becomes a brownetle with an entirely new look. For her hostess duties Saturday night Frances Littrell wore an elegant long black "at home" frock. Frances also has been trying out chic new coiffures. The hostess and many of the guests we talked with are planning winter vacation trips and cruises and Sime were nursing wounded arms because of the numerous shots to ward off smallpox, cholera, and other diseases apt to be picked u.) while traveling hither and yon. How wonderful if all the dread ful, contagious diseases could be stamped out entirely. Yreka Lodges Hold Party; Elect Officers YREKA Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus paid a visit lo the Pythian Sisters and Knights of Pythias family Christmas party held December 11, at the Odd Fel lows hall. Refreshments were served first, then Santa and Mrs. Santa distributed gifts to the little boys and girls and there was a gift exchange among the mem bers and friends. Following the social hour the Knights and Sisters held busi ness meetings. The business session of the Sisters was con ducted by Mrs. Ernest Johnson, Most Excellent chief. Elected to office were most excellent chief, Mrs. Lee Mor ford; excellent senior, Mrs. Chester Barnctt; excellent jun ior, Mrs. Alvin Lewis; manager, Mrs. Hugh Welsh; treasurer, Mrs. Lloyd Lane; secretary, Mrs, Hazel Rider; protector, Mrs. Laura Jones, guard Mrs. Harold Coatney; musician, Mrs. Earl Fiock. Joint Installation ceremonies for the Knights and Sisters will be held January 22 at 8 p.m. at the Odd Fellows hall. A decorated Christmas tree graced the banquet hall and the table were arranged in keeping with the Christmas theme. One of the compensations for having to hurry from one party to another is seeing so many pretty and fashionable women in their beautiful gowns. We wish there were more events in the Rogie Valley wncre women appeared in cocktail frocks, dinner dresses and ball gowns. Social workers, psychiatrists and others are saying that it is goou for the morale of human beings to be well-groomed and well-dressed, and we do not believe that this necessarily means one must spend a lot of money. We know that, as the adage goes "clothes do not make the man", but we do believe that proper and good looking clothing certainly helps to bring confidence, composure and sense of well being. But back to the parties. At the Potentate's Ball the Armory was filled with beautiful gowns. Mrs. Lyndel Newbry, whose hus band the ball especially honored, looked charming In a pale blue satin gown. The potentate's mother, Mrs. Earl Newbry, was wear ing pink satin. The potentate introduced his parents (his father is a past potentate of Hillah Temple), and sent a ripple of laugh ter through the room when he said that his parents were truly responsible for "my being here tonight." The Military Ball was not nearly so large a party, but the women's pretty frocks and the uniforms and evening clothes of the men made a festive scene. Dale Tyccr appeared composed and relaxed, which was something of a miracle since she had com pleted the Country Club's sparkling holiday decorations just in lime to rush home and hurry into party clothes. Mrs. Tyccr is a professional decorator and not only planned the wall pieces, the big golden Christmas tree and the glittering spiral ornaments, which look a little like cages except they hold Christmas ornn- mcnts instead of buds, hut made most tif them from scratch. We bow low in front ol anyone who can imagine something and then create the finished product, We read with Interest thai Ihe Averell llarriman home loaned lo Jacqueline Kennedy has a funicular lype elevator located on Ihe stairway, and this probably would be a delight lo the chil dren. Only recently we discovered lhal there is at least one in Medford. Women at the Episcopal tea at the Crawford home, which is one of the more elegant, older homes in the city with an old-fashioned wide stairway, has a one-scat elevator attached to Ihe wall side. O.S.

Lemon, Ginger Combine for icy Cookies Christmas wouldn't be com plete without the aroma of baked goods drifting from the kitchen. It's always nice to have a plate of holiday cookies ready when friends come calling. Some of your home-baked cookies will be rich little morsels r.iide from family-favorite recipes. Then there are the cookies the children love so well, the traditional decorat ed sugar cookies cut in fancy shapes. This year why not try a new recipe for making those trees, stars, wreaths and bells? Chil dren, guests, everyone will like spicy Lemon Ginger Cookies. Ihe shortening is lard. You 11 be delighted to see how lard produces a cooky that is so ten der and crunchy. Reba Staggs, home economist, recommends lard for all your holiday baking, for flaky pie crusts, fine quick breads, doughnuts, as well as delicious cookies. Lemon Ginger Cookies Three cups sifted enriched flour; one teaspoon baking powder; one-fourth teaspoon salt; three-fourth cup lard; one half cup sugar; one egg, beat en; one tablespoon lemon juice; two teaspoons grated lemon rind; one-third cup linely chop ped candied ginger.

Evolution of the Medford pro gram of team teaching as a part of the Oregon Plan was described by Miss Glodys Dur rand, grade school supervisor for District 549-C, in a talk be fore Jackson County Retired Teachers Association at a meeting December 9 at Girls Community Club. The Medford plan, developed with the backing of the Ford Foundation, the Oregon State Department of Education and the local school district, is based on first-hand study of schools nationally known for their success in developing team teaching: Norwac, Cann., where the system began; Lex ington, Mass., and Anaheim, Calif. A group of master teachers and supervisors visited these schools. They also studied in workshops in Medford and Salem. Medford schools are benefit ing from devices and techniques acquired in this manner, Miss Durrand said. Listening posts in language laboratories, Jower grade programs in science in which a master teacher in structs by television, instruction tapes audited through earphones used to free teachers for closer supervision of students are all innovations seen and approved for adoption after observation. I P Small Group Possible j 4 One of the best points of the i " system, Miss Durrand told the association, is thai a teacher can work with a small group of j 15 or 20. Instead of the teaching being stcreolyped to fit a large group, it is highly individual and adaptable to the learning ! m situation. The result is intense ! acceleration of student accom-1 f plishment. I f Personnel involved in such a i school are the team teachers, associate teachers, and teach ers' aides. Team teachers are the professionals. A s s o c i ate teachers work under the super vision of the regular team personnel until they are ready to fit into the program. This takes a year of intense work. Teachers' aides do the nonpro fessional chores that heretofore have sapped a great share of the teacher's time, the speaker explained. In Medford two schools, Hoo ver and Wilson, are now using learn teaching. Wilson was built for team teaching, and has sound-proof rooms, air con ditioning and special lighting so that concentration may be in tense and work completely un disturbed, eluded.
