Family Specialist
Says Boys Expert
On Many Subjects
Do you appreciate the expert
in your family? Because If you
have a young son, with a boy's
normal interests and curiosity,
you probably have an expert.
For instance, can you tell one
make of car from another with
out reading the name plate?
Does the shape of a Convair air
liner seem different than that of
a modernized DC-3? Do you
know the names of all the
streets in your section of town?
Probably not. But according
to Tom Poffenberger, it's very
likely that any ten-year-old boy
does know the answers. Mr.
Poffenberger is extension family
life specialist at Oregon State
college.
Te explains that children are
often experts in identifying
things around them. In fact,
they would have made much
better tlane spotters during
World War II than most adults
who were on the job. Little boys
usually know the names and rec
ords of ball players aooui as
well as the sports writers do.
And as for movie stars well,
lust try them out.
Maybe this sort of informa
tion doesn't seem very .import
ant to you. But it is to the kids,
th familv life specialist says.
And we grownups would do well
ehnw our aoDreciation for
their areas of expertness.
Many a famous scientist has,
as a child, been in the ranks of
these experts. Whether or not
your child expert becomes fam
ous later, his Knowledge ae
prvps vour recognition and
praise, the expert says.
In six years, the Federal gov
ernment has taken from the
American people more money
than all the domestic taxes our
government levied in the prev
ious 156 years. ,

We're glad we came home
from our vacation Sunday morn
ing instead of Monday morning.
Being a gardener (although a
somewhat erratic one) the first
thing we do when returning
home is to take a stroll through
the yard. Sunday morning it
looked pretty good lots of
weeds, but quite a few flowers
in bloom and our pet fuchsias
looking fine, thanks to the ef
forts of the head-of-the-house-hold
during our absence.
A few hours later it was a
different story. The family acre
felt the full fury of the storm
which swept the valley Sunday
evening with the result that
hardly a flower, bush or vege
table escaped without damage.
Tuberous begonias were flatten
ed to the ground and the leaves
shredded, the flowering tips of
the fuchsias were broken and
battered and michaelmas dais
ies, chrysanthemums and other
plants with buds forming were
also broken off. The ground was
covered with walnuts beaten
from the trees by the large hail
stones, tomatoes and cucumbers
suffered heavily and the trea
sured rows of corn just begin
ning to bear delicious yellow
ears were leveled to the ground.
Wonder how the residents of
areas whre such storms are
fairly common ever get up
enough courage to plant a crop
or garden.
Our trip to visit relatives in
Centralis, though it turned out
to be a sad one, was not without
interest. Due to the fact that a
sister runs a book store, we
heard much about the revised
standard version of the Bible
which is due to go on sale Sep
tember 30. In Centralia many
churches are planning to hold
special meetings that night to
observe the event and to encour
age purchase and use of the new
Bibles.
We read for a time in a copy
of the New Testament, finding it
considerably simplified and this
particular copy most easy to
read because of the type and
printing.
A pamphlet put out by Thom
as Nelson and Sons in New
York, publishers of Bibles and
religious literature, gave much
interesting information about
Bible translations. According to
the pamphlet, "The first Eng
lish version of the scriptures
was John Wycliffe's translation
from the Latin V.ulgate, com
pleted about 1380. The first
English version to be made by
translation from the original He
brew and Greek, and the first
to be printed, was the work of
William Tyndale, from 1524 to
his martyrdom in 1536. It was
followed by a succession of ver
sions, notably those of Cover
dale, 1535; The Great Bible,
1539; Geneva, 1560; The Bish
op's Bible, 1568. In 1582 a trans
lation of the New Testament,
made from the Latin Vulgate by
Roman Catholic scholars, was
published at Rheims. The trans
lators of the King James Ver
sions took into account all of
these preceding versions, and
comparison shows that it owes
something to each.

half centuries the King James
version was, to the mind of most
people, THE English Bible. The
term 'authorized' has been ap
plied to it as though it were the
only 'authorized' Bible, or even
as though this version had some
special divine authorization
which it does not share with
other translations of the Word of
God. The term simply means, of
course, that it was officially rec
ognized for use in public wor
ship 'appointed to be read in
churches.'
"As a result of the discovery
of manuscripts of the New Tes
tament more ancient than those
used by the translators in 1611,
together with a marked develop
ment in Biblical studies, a de
mand for revision of the King
James Bible arose in the middle
19th century. In 1870 the Con
vocation of Canterbury author
ized a revision and organized a
committee of British scholars to
undertake it. With this commit
tee was associated by corres
pondence a committee of Ameri
can scholars organized a year
later.
"The English Revised Version
of the Bible was published 1881
1885 with an appendix contain
ing recommendations of the Am
erican committee which had not
been approved by the British
committee. In 1901, at the ex
piration of an agreed period, the
American Standard Version was
published, embodying those
recommendations and printing
in an appendix the British read
ing which they replaced.
"In 1937 a comprehensive re
vision of the American Standard
Version of the Bible was author
ized by the council (Internation
al Council of Religious Educa
tion)." The version now being pub
lished has also been authorized
by the National Council of the
Churches of Christ in the USA
and is being eagerly awaited by
church members and workers
and Bible scholars.
Another topic of conversation
was the so-called "Koch treat
ment" of which we had never
heard. We gathered that the
Koch treatment is now being
used by various physicians in
several sections of the country
and as is usual with anything
which promises a cure for some
of the worst of our diseases, is
being lauded by some and damn
ed by others. From what we
heard, the "treatment" consists
of shots of some mysterious
medicine which is said to have
marvelous curative powers, and
a diet. Some persons tell of
magic cures, while others de
clared the treatment had
brought no results.
o
We learned another fact one
very old and still new to some;
the simple fact that in time of
need, relatives and friends do
rally around and that it is a
mighty comforting thing. No
sooner had the word spread of
the sudden death in our family
than the offers of help began to
pour in. Neighbors came to do
the necessary telephoning and
errand-running;, they sent flow
ers and kindly messages,
broifght food and helped to cook
and serve it. Some left work or
vacations and drove long dis
tances to be on hand in the
event they would be needed,
and to be present for the fun
eral. The world would certainly
be a dreary place indeed with
out love and friendship such as
one finds in times like these.
o
An aunt who came to visit be
cause of the emergency com
mented one day that women cer
tainly were getting more and
more casual about what they
wore while traveling. She point
ed out that years ago (she is
near 80) women didn't go on
journeys without proper wraps,
hats, luggage, etc., and she sigh
ed over the fact that so many
young women and girls will
start off practically anywhere
downtown or across the state,
wearing jeans and with their
hair in pin curls.
We were reminded of this
while en route home by Grey
hound. We saw during the eve
ning and night's journey three
women wearing bedroom slip
pers instead of shoes, and one,
who said she had been traveling
all day, wore bedroom slippers,
blue jeans and a terry cloth tee
shirt topped by an elaborate
upswept hair-do. She got off the
bus, yawned, groaned, stretched
and declared in a loud voice "I
hope I have more sense than to
ever leave home again."
One of our traveling compan
ions surveyed the array of
rumpled pedal pushers, sleazy
slacks and other costumes worn
by women on the bus and re
marked scornfully "No wonder
our boys come home from
abroad with foreign brides when
American women look like
that!" She herself, pretty and at-!
tractive in a neat grey summer
suit with immaculate white hat, ;
gloves, snoes ana purse, was en
route south to meet her soldier
husband Just returning from
Korea.
During the evening this tra
veler, who lives in Tacoma, said
that when she returned home I
she thought she would advertise I
her new television set for sale.
"There's hardly a television pro
gram to be seen in Tacoma that
is worth my time," she said.
"When I get , home from work
the children's programs, which
even my niece and nephew rea
lize are stupid, are on the air.
Later there's wrestling, which I
abhor, or boxing, which I de
test, or baseball, in which I'm
not the slightest interested, or
re-showings of movies which
were made before I was born."
o
After our return home we had
a pleasant visit with Howard C.
Beeler, district passenger agent
for Greyhound stationed in Med
ford. Mr. Beeler wanted to know
what prompted Potpourri's out
burst in a past column, and so
wo poured out our tale of woe.
The two of us decided at last
that the reason travelers have
trouble in getting correct infor
mation is caused partly by new
and only partially trained em
ployees, partly by the fact that
the Greyhound line is actually
21 different companies, and
partly from the fact that the
schedules, fare rates, etc., are
complicated and difficult to
learn and explain to travelers.
The second reason probably
explained why one young wom
an in the Portland bus depot
flatly told us that Greyhound
no longer took reservations, and
why a week later another em
ployee accepted a reservation
request without question. Seems
that Pacific Greyhound lines op
erate in Oregon Northwest
Greyhound lines in Washington.
One takes reservations, the oth
er doesn't, or something like
that. Confusing? Oh no, not at
all!
We did praise Greyhound
drivers, however. The driver in
charge from Portland to Eugene
had our undying sympathy. Not
only did he have to cope with
two tire blowouts the second
one which finally put the bus
completely out of operation, oc
curring only' two blocks from
the depot in Eugene, but he had
to carry in and out of the bus
a man who was totally unable
to walk and who was complet
ing a 2,000 mile trip by bus.
Through all this trouble the
driver remained polite and cour
teous and only looked a little
beaten when the mechanic, sum
moned to change the tires,
swore when he found that the
driver had left the air-conditioner
fans, which were hooked to
the battery, running all the
time the bus was out of commis
sion. O.S.

A definite and stimulating style renaissance is apparent in
the new furniture designs being shown at the summer markets,
as designers and manufacturers are developing furniture geared
more closely to today's exacting living patterns a review of the

saving furniture seems to be the homemaker's order-of-the-day.
That's what she wants and that's precisely what the industry
a yruaucing, a lour of exhibit
The requirement for
more
utility and value per square foot
of furniture has inspired de
signers and manufacturers to
new heights in creating multi
purpose, flexible units. No longer
considered "gimmicks," multi
purpose pieces play an important
part in filling the requirements
of small-space living.
High-low tables, cabinet pieces
that conveniently conceal exten
sion tables, pull-out writing sur
faces, trim and comfortable
lounge chairs that open into beds,
headboards that contain useful
storage space such pieces are
now well-designed and honestly
useful, unlike the "patent" furni
ture of bygone years.
Similarly, the consistently
growing space problem and the
trend to better utilization of floor
area has heightened the demand
for pieces that will serve as
room dividers. As a result, man
ufacturers are showing new
chests and other case pieces with
backs finished to facilitate out-in-the-room
arrangement. Many
are designed with openings on
both sides in order to make their
contents accessible either to the
dining or living area. Such
pieces may also be used in a
bedroom where a study or tele
vision corner is divided from the
sleeping area.
The much talked about trend
to more coordination of furni
ture lines and accessory group
ings continues to gain headway.
There has been a definite swing
away from suites, as in the past,
to the coordinated group. Case
pieces for the living room, bed
room and dining room are inter
changable. Lighter weight upholstered
pieces, many with tight seats
and foam rubber cushions con
tinue to gain in importance as
easily moved and mobile furni
ture contribute to convenience in
television room arrangement.
Temporary seating pieces and
stacking pieces and stacking ta
bles and chairs are high on the
list of popular items.

American living continues to
move in the direction of infor
mality and manufacturers are
supplying more and better de
signs to fill-the ever-increasing
demand for casual furniture. Pro
vincial styles of both American
and French inspiration continue
to show their aptitude for pro
ducing a comfortable and casual
environment. Graceful lines and
warm natural wood tones, char
acteristic of Provincial styles,
are evident this year both in
traditional and modern lines.
Modern lines are showing a
number of new directions with
influence both from the Far
East and our own early Ameri
can styles. The use of cane, rush
and other woven materials in
combination with wood and
metal, is evident in both indoor
and outdoor furniture lines.
The ,look of raw silk, the
tawny colors of dried grasses,
the delineation of black iron and
the flash of brilliant color this
is the palette of the new Pacific
trend found as a background for
modern living. Black and white,
plus color, becomes more at
tractive as designers and decor
ators apply it with interest and
inspiration.
Natural textures, the contra
dictory look of luxury weaves in
raw, rough fibers, the continued
popularity of tweeds and woven
iextures all of this and more
in exciting combinations of syn
thetic and natural fibers are
found in the summer fabric
market.
