'Nation's Attics All Mined'
Says Collector; Junk Left
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) The golden
days of the nation's attics are
ended. .
Their cob-webby corners once
were a figurative gold mine for
the antiques experts. And a
rainy afternoon spent rummag
ing through their recesses usual
ly produced something .worthy
of gracing the downstairs hall
or the local museum.
"But most attics are just filled
with junk now," said Mrs. Edith
who collects American folk art.
"There's little genuine art un
discovered. Therf are so many
antique shows around the coun
try, everybody's attic conscious.
They've cleaned 'em out."
Mrs. Halpert, a widow and in
her words "a frustrated artist,"
explained that antiques and folk
art aren't necessarily the same.
Art, as she talks of it, refers to
the sculpture, the drawings and
paintings of our ancestors, not
necessarily their furniture, china
and, glassware.
Weathervanes, figureheads for
ships, and early carvings on
tombstones come under the
heading of sculpture. Mrs. Hal-
pert said some of the most beau
tiful art to be found anywhere,
in any age, comes from the de
signs our great-great-grandpar-ents
used to decorate family
records in the Bible.
Our ancestors apparently
never thought their works would
live through future generations.
They rarely bothered to sign
them.
"Which," said Mrs. Halpert
wryly, "is different from today's
.artist. He 'signs his name be
fore he's through dabbing
paint."
Some of America's best early
artists were women. They paint
ed still life scenes or portraits
on velvet, silk, or glassware. Or,
they -painted mourning scenes.
"Our ancestors looked on
death happily," Mrs. Halpert ex
plained. "It meant a release from
hardship. And it was the fash
ion to paint a scene of mourning,
completing it only after some
member of the family died so his
or. her name could be .added."
American folk art began to
deteriorate in . the mid 1800's,
Mrs. Halpert said. The daguer
reotype came in about then, so
it no longer : was necessary to
paint family portraits. - And re
productions of European art
were available, and - "home
made" art no longer was popu
lar. : .. ..
Mrs. Halpert, one-of the first
to recognize that some Ameri
cana was artistic and not just
quaint, said she still looks for
old works, although she believes
most of the great ones already
have been found.
But if you're organizing a
Halpert-helping pilgrimage to
your attic this minute, her ad
vice is:
"Don't. My attic is full of
junk seosle already have sent
me!"
-4 -To
give fried chicken a gold
en brown crust, use paprika with
the salt, pepper and flour in
which you roll the pieces before
adding them to hot fat.
Radiators should not be paint
ed with dark or metallic paints.
Use light-colored wall paint to
get more heat from them.

Checks TeUGhl's
Progress at College
Ripley, Tenn. (U.R) Mr.
and Mrs. Hal Wilson hear how
their daughter is doing in col
lege by checks.
When the daughter, June. 17,
writes a check, she jots a little
note .on the back telling her par
ents how she is getting along
at Memphis State College,
Mrs. Wilson is a bookkeeper
in the Bank of Ripley, and gets
the cancelled checks. Whenever
one comes in, she .calls her hus
band to come by and read the
note. -
June seldom writes regular
letters, but her parents hear
from her quite regularly. It
seems that it takes quite a few
checks for a girl to go to college.
" When carpets and rugs are
cleaned often and thoroughly,
dust and dirt are removed be
fore any serious harm can be
done by them.

If you hate to get out of your cozy bed on these dark, cold
winter mornings, try the advice of Dr. G. K. Selborne, London
physician. Dr. Selborne has three or four little rules set the alarm
for the time you want to get up (not 20 minutes early so you can
lay there and laugh at the clock the clock doesn't care) then
when the bell rings don't panic, but stretch your legs, wiggle your
toes (this is very important, says the doctor) and then just get up.
Oh, yes, order your life so your're hungry in the morning, adds the
doctor. That will help hurry you to the kitchen. .;
Wondering how they could create the impression of spring
inside the country clubhouse last Sunday for the annual open
house, members of the Women's Golf association decided on butter
flies. With bits of crepe paper and some paint, the women made
dozens of big colorful butterflies and fastened them to branches.'
So with the warmth? good food and color inside, it didn't matter
so much that the clammy fog hung like a pall over, most of the
valley.
WGA members who helped with the serving for this party
wore pretty little white organdy aprons over their cocktail dresses.
Mrs. Ray Larson not only made all the aprons, but stenciled them
with green letters.
Royal Bebb, one of the husbands who helped tend bar, was
all dressed up for the occasion. With his grey suit he wore a gay
plaid vest which was one of his Christmas gifts.
The talk was on food, fashion and friends when the women
congregated in little clumps. Mrs. Homer Marx, wearing a clever
little black feathered hat which she said she created herself, de
scribed a chicken Creole dish which sounded wonderful, and
learned the latest news about the Don Zeises and their daughter,
Priscilla, from Mrs.. Fred Carr. Colonel Zeis, currently in Texas,
has been ordered to Germany. Daughter Prissy is a student at the
University of Denver.
League of Women Voters had an extra stir of activity last
week because of Mrs. K. E. Montgomery, who came down from
Eugene as a visiting state board member. Hashing over league
accomplishments and problems at a dinner Tuesday night, Mrs.
Justin Smith recalled that the league studied the city manager
system, in effect here since the beginning of the year, several
years ago, with members concluding it would be an efficient sys
tem for Medford and talking it up ever since.
The discussion and business continued next day around Mrs.
Paul Janney's big dining room table. (Mrs. J. didn't have to depend
upon make-believe butterflies for a touch of spring she. had pots
of tiny yellow daffodils and of African violets in bloom.)
Mrs. Harlan Bosworth was one of the leaguers present and
while they discussed such matters as coming league events, surveys
of such institutions as schools and courts, Mrs. B. was quiet as a
mouse about her visit to a" certain court the next day. She wasn't
going just to observe either, for Mrs. Bosworth had run afoul of
the law while driving to the meeting and was cited for failure to
come to a complete stop at a stop sign. The dutiful officer wasn't
interested in the fact that Mrs. B. was having car trouble and had
rolled by the sign, on a street empty of traffic, while struggling
with the half-frozen machinery.
When Mr. Bosworth and son David learned that Mrs. B. had
to appear in traffic court, they comforted her by singing a doleful
breakfast-table song about spending the next hundred years in jail.
Marie Bosworth may have a little blot on her driving record
now, but on the other side of the ledger are years of intelligent,
conscientious civic-minded service to her community, political
party and church. While living in Klamath Falls several years ago,
she was named Zonta club Woman of the Year for outstanding
civic achievement.
Potpourri knows scores of women in Jackson county who work
with the Girl Scouts and .sitting across the desk from two of them,
Mrs. Michele Rossi and Mrs. Scott Davis one day last week, we
wondered how anyone, even the American Legion in Illinois,
could question the motives and patriotism of these women who
lead the Girl Scout movement. But they did, and are now boasting
of the fact that they forced national leaders to change the Girl
Scout Handbook in several places and take out all mention or
references to international cooperation.
After suffering under the criticism of the Illinois Legion for
several months, Girl Scout ieaders are gradually coming to the
conclusion, we hear, that what seemed like a calamity has actually
been in their favor. For throughout the nation leading newspaper
and magazine editors have come to the defense of the Girl Scouts
This week the Eugene Register-Guard joined this group and
printed the following editorial:
"Don't worry, mother. When your little daughter is old enough
to be a Brownie Scout, she won't be subverted. The Girl Scouts
of America, at the behest of the Illinois American Legion, have
rewritten the more dangerous portions of the handbook that
2,000,000 girls use in their quest for badges. There are 46 changes
in the new book. Two of them serve to illustrate how the Girl
Scouts are retreating from wrong thinking.
"Remember the old passage said, 'You are preparing yourself
tor worm citizensmp?' well, the new book gets rid of that sort of
talk. Instead, it says, 'You are preparing yourself to be a friend
to au.' '
"And remember the passage in which the friends-to-all were
asked to 'Make up a quiz game on the U.' N.?' That's been fixed
to require that the friends 'Make up a quiz game on the World
Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.' That change apparent
ly saiisiiea tne region, but doesn't satisfy us. We still question the
wisaom oi leuing lime girls know that there's a. world,"

Albert Schweitzer one of the world's leading citizens who was
80 years old that day. As a theologian, great organist, philosopher,
physician and misionary, this man has brought a wealth of
understanding and knowledge to his universe. '
This remarkable person lived for science and art until he was
30 and since then has given his time to relieving the suffering of
African natives, serving as their physician and friend. At 30 Al
bert Schweitzer was one of the finest organists in Europe and
principal of the Theological college of St. Thomas at Strasbourg.
He left this life, studied medicine and went to Africa .
This deeply religious man has a vast reverence for all life, be
lieves that one must go .from rational thought to mystical thought
In order to understand life, and as for the physical life, says "if
you keep working you will get younger every day." OS. .

with various shades of biege for
suits and dresses.
Pastel tweeds are paler, but as
popular as ever, and flower print
dresses are blooming all over the
place.
But the fabrics these new
spring clothes are made of arm
full of surprises. There are all
silk coats that look like nubby
tweed and sheer, shiny wool suits
mar look like suk. .
Herbert Sondheim uses unus
ual blends of silk, wool and cot
ton for some of his new snHnr
coats and suits. One pale bieee
suit is made of a cashmere, wool
and silK blend. Sondheim com
bines the . suit with an over-
blouse of red and white stripped
wool jersey.
The designer also uses black
and white stripped silk and cot
ton for a spring suit that look
like wool. Silk with a linen-like
finish shows up in dress and
dress-coat costumes.
French wool poplin and tweeds
of silk and linen are used by Har
ry Frechtel in his suits and coats.
Even when tweeds look bulky,
they're lighter weight than ever
for spring. ' - : 1
The aim of most of the new
fabric combinations is to give
American women cool, comfort
able clothes that will hofd their
shape. Some of the new pastel
tweeds are bulky-looking mater
ials actually made of a cool com
bination of linen, cotton and '
wool.
After-five dresses are even
more feather weight this year.
Hannah Troy uses stiffened chif
fon for unusual springtime prints
with moss green flowers scatter
ed over pale pink backgrounds.
The dresses have half-sashes of
moss green taffeta that tie in
huge bows at the back.
