SIX MTDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, July 8. 1952 Potpourri... - Accompanying the photog rapher on his rounds last week we met a few of the city's new families. Some have come to Medford because of business reasons, others because they like the climate and the recre ational possibilities, and one couple came to Oregon seeking the freedom and opportunities which the United States offers as opposed to life in Germany. The former Berlin couple now living in Medford are Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Diepenbrock, and both are enjoying Oregon life, although many difficult ad justments had to be made. Mr. Diepenbrock, now on the staff of Robert Keeney, Medford arch itect, is not only learning a new language, but is also working hard to learn new architectural terms and new units of measure ment. - Mr. D. is not 'Only observant but has a keen sense of humor and one day recently regaled his co-workers by describing, with elaborate gestures, his im pression of a restaurant cook fixing a hamburger sandwich. According to the newcomer, the hamburger was filled mostly with "garden produce with very thins meat." The Diepenbrocks are making their home ' with a German speaking couple, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hogbeck, 2311 Stage Road south, who are aiding the newcomers during their period of adjustment. Major-General Roy Rickard and Mrs. Rickard came to south ern Oregon, we suspect, not only because they have a son and daughter-in-law living here but because the men in the Rickard family love fishing and hunting. During the picture-taking we learned that the general had spent seven of his 34 years of ac tive army duty in Germany, and that the family had been in Ger many with him during a part of that time. The general and his sons have any number of interesting hunt ing trophies, including the mounted head of a wild boar which is one of the most fear some objects we ever saw, dead or alive. Both General Rickard and his son, Daniel, now home from West Point on vacation, said they had enjoyed the sport of wild boar hunting in Ger many very much, and the mount ed head was from an animal which Daniel had shot. The young man declared he was going to move the trophy from the garage wall into his room, whereupon his mother aid that if he ever got married, she planned to make the mount ed head one of her gifts to the bride. The general and his wife have known General Eisenhower and Mrs. Eisenhower for many years, and both are supporting the general in his campaign for the presidential nomination. Mrs. Rickard, who was one of the volunteers to work at Eisen hower headquarters here before the primary election, was a bit gloomy yesterday over the trend of recent events. She said of General Eisenhower that he was one of the most sincere and pa triotic Americans that she knew, a man who truly worked for the welfare of his country in every way he could. The Rickards' youngest son, James, was a freshman at Michi gan State college last school year and at the time of our interview, was in New York preparing to try out for a spot on the United States swimming team for the Olympics. t Another charming newcomer to Medford is Mrs. Fred R. Bren nan. The Brennans, who came here from Portland, are living in the new Plaza apartment house and Mrs. Brennan says she finds Medford people ex tremely friendly. She has been invited to attend Sojourner club meetings, an organization for women newly arrived in the city, and has already made many friends. while Mrs. Brennan was posed by the photographers we talked about the fine view from the big windows of the apart ment, looking north and east. Mrs. Brennan said she keeps a small pair of field glasses on the table by the window and uses it to watch the birds in the large tree nearby. The Brennan family first started using field glasses to watch the birds in the vicinity of their former home in Lake Grove, near Portland, she said, and found it a fascinating past time. The Brennans have two mar ried daughters, Mrs. H. A. Reyn olds of Oswego, and Mrs. Wilbur Fish of Lake Grove. John Gribble, who has an en ormous fund of knowledge about trees, came in one day last week and reminded us again of some thing which we've been told many times but never remember namely that the branches and the bark don t "grow up on trees. Mr. G. consoled us by say ing that a great many other peo ple either can't be made to be lieve that particular fact, or else have trouble in remembering it when writing about trees. Artists and art patrons of the district were doubtless inter ested in the announcement last week from Grants Pass that for the first time since the annual AAUW art exhibit was started, judges and patrons agreed on the best picture in the show. Both judges and those who viewed the show and then cast the so-called "popular" ballots selected a watercolor "Seascape at White Rocks" as the sweep stakes winner. Two or three years ago a storm of protest rose up after the show. The visitors-violent ly disagreed with the judges over their selections, and voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Indian portraits entered by Mrs. Ethel Yerkey of Trail. The judges had ignored Mrs. Yer key's entries, one of them re marking that her portraits of Indians were "too much like photographs." This year one of Mrs. Yerkey's pictures was given an honorable mention in the popular ballot.

Families Moving "Back to Kitchen" Declare Economists The family has moved back into the kitchen, and, accord ing to home economists, this time they are there to stay. For a decade or so the kitch en was a small, chromium-plated "food laboratory that drove the family out to other sections of the home. But today, the kitch en has been rediscovered, and in many cases is again the heart of the home. The present trend is toward a kitchen that offers the security and geniality enjoyed by the family a half century ago, ac cording to a report by the Gas Appliance Manufacturers assoc iation. Modern homemakers activat ed this trend by making their kitchens gay, beautiful places, pleasing enough so kids can pre pare hotdog and hamburger par ties on . the automatic gas range's griddle. GAMA says that utilizing such ideas as an island cooking - range with accessible storage cabinets on walls, a business-like desk with 'phone to appraise pictures of the ultra modern trend, Mr. Bennett stat ing that those truly interested in art appreciation should learn some of the fundamentals of line, form, color and values be fore attempting to judge. The artist shows film strips which illustrate the points of his lec ture. - Perusing the most recent is sue of "Counterpoinl," magazine for music and the alied arts pub lished in San Francisco, we were delighted to find that one of the issue's first articles is devoted to the Oregon Shakespearean festival's coming season. The article goes into much de tail over the plans for festival music, being drafted by Hans Lampl of the University of Southern California, but erron eously states that Philip Hanson is directing all four plays, ignor ing Allen "Fletcher, Richard Graham and Producing Director Angus Bowmer. Mrs. Royal Bebb is responsible for our subscription to this small new magazine, and we have found its material, largely de voted to musical and artistic events and personalities of the three far-western states, well written and 1 interesting. The record review columns seem particularly complete, with com ment .on records made by the less well known companies as well as the familiar Columbia and Victor records, and there is also a book review section.

Lee, curator of the Jacksonville Museum, reported Saturday that residents of the Applegate val ley have found a mushroom about 24 inches in diameter. It was on display at the museum this week-end. . Mrs. Lee is not sure of the true name of the giant mush room, but it is reported to be an edible variety. In this case, gourmets trying it out probably have to slice it and fry it like steak. make out food lists, and a snack bar for quick lunched aided in the transformation. Young homemakers prefer to sectionalize part of their kit chen for a dining area and play room, the report adds. This can be done with a three-foot high partition. Portable tables and chairs can be removed during the day for crib and toys. Chil dren aging from one to two and a half need watching, most young mothers admit, and bring ing them into the kitchen for romping saves time and steps when doing household chores in that section of the home.

Around Hollywood ,; Hollywood (U.R) People do not talk much to bartenders these days, one drink server sighed Satur day. He fig ures it's be cause every body's going to psych iatrists these days. He's Bob Ad ler, head bar tender at the Interlude club on the Sunset Aline Mosby strip, where you'll find celebrities like Ann Miller, Lana Turner, Fernando Lamas and Zsa Zsa Gabor daw dling over toothpicks and olives. "You never see a man com ing in here to tell me his wife just left him or his girl went off with another guy," he sighed. "It must be that people are tell ing" their troubles to psychia trists. We don't hear 'em any more." Heard Radio Gags Adler used to serve Martinis to radio characters at the Plaza hotel near the network studios years ago. He heard everything from the latest radio gags to wails that the sponsor had can celled. "They'd all try out their jokes and scripts on me," the bartender said. "I'd stand and listen, give 'em a little bit of sympathy and occasionally a little advice. "But now I guess the psychia- 8y ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent trists Iiave taken all that away from bartenders," he said, and waved at the customers who were talking to each other. "I get lonesome back here. Nobody talks to me." The movie versions of bar tenders didn't help, either, he added. "In pictures the customers are usually talking to the bartender while he stands and listens and polishes the glasses or "prepares the olives," said Adler while he polishes the glasses.' "Maybe people see that in the movies and they get self-conscious about talking to bartend ers, I'dunno."
