MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON
Potpourri has been partying a bit in recent days. 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.

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.
Sift together flour, baking
powder and salt. Cream togeth
er lard and sugar until light
and fluffy. Stir in egg, lemon
juice, lemon rind and ginger.
Add sifted ingredients. Mix well.
Chill Ihe dough slightly. On
lightly floured surface, roll
about one-eight inch thick. Cut
with floured cooky cullers into
desired shapes. Place on
greased cooky sheets and bake
in a hot oven (425 degrees) six
to eight minutes or until light
ly browned. Yield, five dozen
cookies.
Have trouble with plastic cur
tains or tablecloths wrinkling
after you wash them? Press
them between a piece of cloth
with the iron set as "silk" and
the wrinkles will disappear.

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.
