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

Sunday. April 13. 1952
egg beater could be bought for
maybe 39 or 49 cents.
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

word he said. No Easter service
