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.
At Eugene Bennett's art ap
preciation class last Tuesday we
were discouraged from trying to

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. O. S.

Big Mushroom Found
By Applegpfe People
Jacksonville Mrs. .Myrtle P.
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.

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

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-

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."
