Potpourri... A half hour spent at the Jack-1 son County Sheriff! posse grounds one Sunday morning, and it was easy to see why the posse and troop present such fine precision drills. S. M. (Cap) Tuttle, drillmaster, was up in the speaker's stand before the microphone "doing his stuff" and there wasn't any fooling. Drillmaster T u 1 1 1 e's crisp voice crackled out with orders to "hold you heads up, all of you," "take the turns closer, hur ry up, pull up," and a dozen and one other admonitions. Every one obeys, too, and the result is a closely coordinated riding troop. There were so many prancing horses, and so much milling a round as the riders prepared for the drill, that for a time it seem ed no picture taking would ever get underway. Mrs. George Dean and Homer Marx came to the rescue, however, and the posing was soon over with. , Not all of the riders were pre pared to drill, however. Mrs. Dean, riding her well-trained mare, "Patty," confessed that she found the drilling, and the traveling around to rodeos and shows in the summer time, a little too strenuous but she will ingly filled in for an absent rid er in order to make the final foursome complete for the drill. Another rider not drilling was Mrs. R. B. Hammond. Mrs. Ham mond, who rode wfth the drill . team for four or five years, was preparing to ride. She was somewhat annoyed at her mount, "Stardust," who seemed reluc tant to give up a life of oats and ease for a Sunday morning can ter. Along came L. W. Lilenquist, who offered to settle "Stardust" down for Mrs. Hammond and cheerfully quipped that the horse looked a trifle overfed, just like he did. A most charming visitor in the valley last week wai Mrs. Sidney G. Tickton, here from Arlington, Va., to visit her sis ter, Mrs. Lawrence Buonocore, and Dr. B. Between bits of yum my refreshments, we listened to Mrs. Tickton's witty conversa tion and learned a number of Interesting facts about Washing ton, D. C. Mrs. Tickton said It was fun to find politics constantly in the conversation and especially in the newspapers. Because the capital is the center of all pol itics, and because the papers don't come light out and take lides, like they do out in the states, political discussions are on quite a different plane, she aid. The visitor also says women at the capital aren't as smart ly dressed as one would expect, either. She had some sharp com ments on that phenomenon of America, the huge cocktail par ty, and said that the bigger they are the more boring they are, and the worse is the food. Many people now avoid Washington cocktail parties like they avoid the plague, she said, particularly the "old-timers" who have lived in the city for years and are past the point where they are Impressed by an invitation. While John Hughes, Knife and Fork club speaker, was enjoying an after-dinner snack Friday night at the Buonocores, he al so dropped comments which were interesting. Mr. Hughes BBC broadcaster, was on the subject of racial prejudices and remarked that many people tend to forget "that all Britishers aren't of the white race in fact, the white Britishers are in the minority." He spoke a word for church missionaries, saying they had been a most wonderful influence for good in India and the oriental countries. Mr. Hughes, who is Welsh by birth and who at one time was on a Welsh newspaper, astound ed everyone by pronouncing a Welsh name with 57 letters in it, and then attempted to show Mrs. Tickton and Mrs. O. A. Eden how to properly pronounce the Welsh double "1". It sounded like "sth" pronounced with a lisp, and no one. who tried even came close to the correct sound. The speaker had driven from Portland Friday, was motoring back to Portland during the night, would take a plane from Portland to Boise, Ida., and go from there by car to Ontario, Ore., to speak Saturday night. Among the guests at the Buon ocores Friday night was Mrs. Dunbar Carpenter, who was tru ly gorgeous In a colorful cotton dress which looked Indian or oriental in Influence. The wo men at the party mostly congre gated together, while the men huddled around the radio in an other room to listen to election returns. Dunbar C, Mr. Eden and Don Newbury became so emphatic over Eisenhower and Taft that Mrs. Eden threatened to break up the conversation. Dr. A. E. Merkel came to our rescue last Monday and kept an interview from dying before it was scarcely started. Subjects of the interview were Miss Trui da Duyvendak, head of home extension leader for a province in Austria. Miss Duyvendak speaks Eng lish well, and there was no trouble in conversing with her, but Miss Hommlnger speaks al most no English. It had been thought that Miss Duyvendak, who understands some German, could translate for Miss Hom mlnger, but the former soon found that her knowledge of German was too limited to be effective. Miss Eula Wintermote, coun ty home demonstrator for this county, then remembered that Dr. Merkel speaks German and she hurried off to find him. A minute after the doctor arrived he was deep in a conversation with the Austrian woman and proved a very capable interpret er. It is a most helpless feeling to sit next a person and be un able to communicate, except with gestures. We listened in tently to the German questions and answers and heard only three German words we under stood, "Mein Gott" and "gesun heit." Asked how those visitors on this extension tour who do not understand English were able to learn anything, Miss Duyven dak explained that interpreters were secured, even for sessions where the entire group is togeth er. Three speak no English, she said, an Italian and Czechoslo vakian woman in addition to Miss Homminger. Referring to the group sessions and all the interpreters she said "It gets noisy."

Violinist Entertains Chin-Up Club Members' Entertainment for the Chin-Up club social meeting Friday eve ning in the Girls Community club was furnished by John M. Bush, violinist, and Mrs. Imo gene Smith, who accompanied at the piano. The violinist played a number of Fritz Kreisler com positions and other classical se lections. Mrs. Bert Davis was in charge of arrangements for the program and for the refreshments. It was campaigning in the modern manner for Mrs. Jack Draper, the former Barbara Schmidt of Medford who ran for congressman on the Repub lican ticket in the primaries. Both Mr. and Mrs. Draper are pilots, so Thursday they took the family plane, a quantity of literature and set forth, drop ping leaflets from the skies over various towns and cities. At Coos Bay there was a wind, and some of the leaflets drifted out to sea, but for the most part the Drapers managed their pa per bombardment quite effec tively. They spent the night here with Mrs. Draper'! par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Schmidt, and then took off again at 5 a. m. Friday in order to be able to cast their own votes at Albany later that day, O. S.
