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.
