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? On

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

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.
Other interesting tid-bits in
cluded the fact that she' liked
Copenhagen more than the other
important Scandinavian cities,

long time needed for dining
kept the travelers from seeing
much evening entertainment,
and found that the young people
were exceedingly well-behaved

found that the women usually

Potpourri doesn't pretend to
be a connoisseur of food, but we
were treated to a dinner Friday
night which was so good it de
fies our description. 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.
