Canada's area is 30 times greater than the area of the Brit ish Isles. Potpourri... Some times, when people re turn to a town or city they re member with affection, or travel again where they made a parti cularly pleasant trip, they are disappointed. Not so with George Maddox. Recently Mr. Maddox and his wife made a trip up into Canada where Mr. Maddox had appeared with a Chatauqua circuit 25 years ago as a singer, and both came home filled with enthusiasm for the beauties of Canada and the friendliness of the people. Mr. Maddox particularly re membered a boat trip he had made with the Chatauqua troupe. He remembered they had boarded the boat at Okana gan landing, on Okanagan lake, and had traveled to Penticton, then a town of about a thousand inhabitants. The lake is a long one, about 80 miles, and the trip on the old-style stern-wheeler boat, named the Sycamoose, had been fun for the tired members of the troupe. The food was good and the traveling companions friendly. All in all, Mr. Maddox re membered the entire trip with pleasure, and kept saying he would like to travel that way again. This time he went by mo tor car, north from Wenatchee and Chelan through the Oka nogan valley (the same name is spelled differently on different sides of the border) into Canada. When the Maddoxes arrived in Penticton, Mr. M. was sur prised to find it had grown to 15,000 - population. There is a Rotary club, and since Mr. Mad dox is a member, the two went to a ladies' night party which the Penticton club was holding. And where was the party?

During the dinner it was dis covered the club pianist had failed to show ud. so Mrs. Mad dox offered to accompany the Rotarians while they sang, sne did verv well until it came time to sing "God Save the Queen." Mrs. M. knew, the song, all right, for the music is the same as this countrv's "America. but found out afterwards that the tempo at which she played the familiar -tune wasn't the same at all which the Canadians use when they sing to honor the aueen. Mr. Maddox discovered to his joy that the Canadians who talked politics with him were as interested in having General Eisenhower nominated for the presidency as he was, and one soberlv remarked that the gen eral was the only man, in his nmnion. to save the united States from trouble. Because they come from an orchard district, the travelers uprp much interested in the miles of Canadian orchards they say, and report that they main ly irrigate with whirling over head sDrinklers. When the travelers started home, they took the Hope- Prinrtnn -hiehwav to Vancou ver. This highway, which rough ly parallels the border, is a onnri one. thev said, and tne scenery is beautiful. They heard reports, however, that the new road to Alaska still under con struction is passable, and that's about all. In Vancouver. Mr. and Mrs. Maddox. both musicians, were pleased to be able to attend per formances -being given in tne open air opera house in Stanley gardens. Mrs. Wayne Barnhouse, here from Great Falls, Mont., to visit her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Landis, will probabijr have a soft spot in her heart for Medford. Shortly after she arrived Mrs. Barn house became interested in the program, "On The Town," car ried by KYJC, entered and won. Not to be outdone by his mother-in-law, Mr. Jj. entered the next week. He won. The family is now enjoying the fruits of their guessing ability, which in clude a number of valuable merchandise gifts. When we called to ask Mrs. Jack Creager if we could chron icle in the MT columns that the Creagers were home from a trip, she said it wasn't news any longer, for they'd been home for almost three weeks. She volun teered some interesting informa tion, however. While attending a wedding reception in Yankton, S.D., Mrs. Creager was surpris ed to hear guests talking about the annual Oregon Shakespear ean festival, and found out that many had heard of the festival, or had attended plays at some time or the other. We agreed that the festival is becoming na tionally known, and is a project which everyone in the valley can well support. Added a new word to our vo cabulary last week. When "ye ed asked what kind of a disease is rubella, we got out Webster. It turned out to be nothing more than German measles. " Anyone should know by now, of course, that names don't mean a thing. While delving in to the recipe drawer at home (it holds several thousand, all dumped in without rhyme or reason) we came upon a Depart ment of the Interior Release with some recipes. One was for "Angels on Horseback." Proved to be a concoction made with oysters. Being a saver, of string, card board boxes, recipes, pretty rib bon and heaven everything, we sympathized with Mrs. Dwight Findley last week. The Findleys are leaving their home on Glenn Oak court, after 16 years, to live on the Old Stage road, having bought the Joe Neil home in t) country. "I can't imagine how we col lected all these things in only 16 years," sighed Mrs. Findley. While with a group of friends one afternoon last week, Mrs. Leonard Carpenter was bom barded with questions about her recent tour of the Scandinavian countries of Europe. Mrs. Car penter described hospitals and nurseries which she visited, say ing they were largely state sup ported and apparently, very well run.

Henry Fong, who introduced us to real Chi nese food at the Chinese New Year, was again our host, and the dinner was prepared by his partner, Lee Sheu, known to his friends as "Canton." Some of the ingredients for the dinner are seldom available, having been sent from China, so it is not possible for Mr. Fong to provide such a dinner for guests very often. The dinner began with bird's nest soup, of which we had heard so much but had never tasted. Then there was Long Island duckling. cooked In Chinese style with bits of candied pineapple and vari ous other succulent morsels which we couldn't identify. And there was chop suey (our host explained that chop-suey actu ally isn t any. particular type of recipe since the phrase was first used for food cut up in bite sizes) with many different kinds of vegetables cooked with ginger and other spices which kept the guests exclaiming with delight. The menu also included black mushrooms, very large, stuffed with a mixture of ham and chicken, and of course, we also had the wonderful Chinese rice and jasmine tea. We ended up by nibbling Chinese fortune cookies and lichee nuts. Gene Cass popped one of the nuts into his mouth and tried to eat it, discovering too late that the dark outside covering was the shell which he was supposed to remove. Then Robert Wievesiek decided he would like to see if one of the nuts would sprout and grow, and carefully wrapped up the large seed and put it in his pocket. O. S. Extensive burns of the skin which do not heal in a reason able length of time are often treated by grafting skin from an other part of the body over the affected area.

GET a FRIEND TO GIVE the PINT of BLQOD YOU WERE GOING TO GIVE Going What Happened to That Pint of Blood You Were to Give? Why is blood needed so deseperately?
