YOUNGER'S APPLIANCE 31 NORTH BARTLETT STREET Birthday Sale STARTS MONDAY SEE MONDAY'S MAIL TRIBUNE FOR FURTHER DETAILS PRICES EFFECTIVE ALL WEEK JPOTPOURRI... Last week brought exactly the right sort of pre-Easter weather. Warm spring days, they were, days which were just right for driving slowly along the streets or roads to snatch glances at the spring flowers. Perhaps its Just our imagination, and we think the same thing every year, but somehow the forsythia and daffodils seem more brightly yellow and the little flowering trees pinker than ever before, And when night-time came the stars and moon were out, and the little spring frogs croaked from the pastures and ditches. Winter may be the price we pay for spring, but April days make it seem a bargain. Every week there's the story we never hear about and the "tip" that we never quite catch up with. While shopping one afternoon last week we ran into Mrs. Orrin Brown, who cheer fully admitted that she and Mr. Brown had celebrated their sil ver wedding anniversary by holding opt n house, one day in March, and that she had not said a word to the society editor about the party. "I half-way thought about call ing you," she confessed, "and then I thought some of my friends would surely tell you. But time went by and no one did, and it doesn't really matter, except we'll never have another silver wedding anniversary party!" Mrs. Brown described with sparkling eyes the present of silver which her husband had bought way last October for the event, and kept hidden away un til the proper moment. Driving to work one bright morning last week we saw a young woman standing on the corner, hopefully watching down the street, and since we were sure she was waiting for the bus, we offered a ride. While driving towards town our passenger said she had recently moved to Medford with her family, from Wisconsin, as we remember. "I'm not sure of my way around yet," she volunteered. "I wasn t even sure that a bus would come down that street." "We hope to build a house," she added, "but good heavens! The price of lots in this town! We found a lot on the south side of town, In a nice neighbor hood, and went to see the agent who had it for sale. What do you think? The price was $1300. For only a city lot." We agreed that it did seem a lot of money, and remembered how not long ago we dashed Into a hardware store and asked for egg beaters. Now, It had been a good many years since we bought an egg beater Just an old-fashioned egg beater pow ered with the right hand while the left hand holds the Instru mcnt steady. We picked out rather a smallish one but one on the substantial side. How ever, that transaction was never completed for the price of the egg beater was $4.95. Wonder if we're turning In to one of those boring people who always think about the good old days. The days, for instance, when a little t this wonderful completely automatic washer today!

One of NBC's announcers, usually pretty smooth and glib tongued when hes on the air, did a beautiful flubb the other night. Reading along in his pol ished tones he came to "Alka seltzer and Bactine" and what came out? Alkazine. Come to think of it, maybe he can sell the name to some drug company. With a catchy name like that, it shouldn't take long to find a product to go with it. Our telephone rang Friday morning and a happy voice said "This is Grandma Inskeep speak ing." Mrs. L. D. Inskeep had called to tell us the good news of the birth of a son to her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jules Prevot of Aries, France. Mrs. Inskeep was especially pleased because her daughter, the former Susan In skeep, had herself called from Paris to tell her family the news. "I asked her what the baby weighed, and she said three kilos and a gram" Mrs. Inskeep said. Dr. Inskeep translated this into Uniled States pounds for his wife, saying it was about seven pounds. When we asked if the baby had been named, Mrs. In skeep said not yet. "Everyone has been making suggestions," she said. "You know how. it is when the first baby and first grandchild is expected every one tries to name the baby." Another Friday call was from Mrs. H. G. Wilson, who thought we might be interested in her unusual Easter eggs. Mrs. Wilson doesn't boil eggs and then dye and decorate them, she makes gelatine eggs.' Mrs. Wilson re lated how she empties the shells, saves and dries them and then fills the shells with the colored gelatine, putting in an almond to represent the yolk. Mrs. Wilson has made the eggs for many years, serving them as refreshments for members of ; Degree of Honor Junior club, which she directs, and taking some to invalid friends as Easter treats. Today's second section has a special first page one which represents the combined efforts of a number of people. The big picture taken in the chapel at Camp White, was made by Carl Iannis, local photographer who had had the idea in the back of his head for a long time. The single symbolic figure is one of the veterans at the camp, The arched church windows of stained glass are in the Jack sonville Presbyterian church. They were presented with other windows of the church by C. C. Beekman, pioneer Jacksonville banker, when the edifice was built. The church was dedicated In December, 1881 and the win dows, ordered especially from Italy by Mr. Beekman, were shipped around the Cape Horn and later packed into Jackson ville, arriving Inlact. About a year ago, Mr. Beekman's daugh ter, Miss Carrie Beekman, Port land, financed having all the stained glass windows shipped to Portland where they were resoldered and then returned and placed again in the church. We are indebted to the Rev. George R. V. Bolster, St. Mark's Episcopal church, for the Easter message on the page. From Photographer Landis we also gleaned a thoughtful Easter story. Mr. Landis was in the Army during Ihe second world war, and on Easter Sunday, 1945, attended a service which i he will never forget. It Was in ', the city of Ludwigsnoffcn on the Rhine, and in the congrega tion were someot the men of the B2nd tank reconnais.ince battalion of the Twelfth Arm- ored division, then headed by General Patton. The men had been in the thick of battle for many days, were dirty, unshaven and bone tired. But when the chaplain came along, and offered to conduct a religious service, all gathered in the church which he had found. we were a sorry looking mess.' Mr. Landis recalls, "but no min ister ever had a more attentive congregation. We sat in the . .....I, i nun ii, iiHii-wrrcKen oy Ihe armies, and missed not n word he said. No Easter service since, with everyone dressed up in his finest clothes and the Washington PTA To Hear Delegates Mri.
