The effect is a charming blend of warmth and vitality. It shows verve of imagination. It adds character to your home. Unfortunately, some of our present day progressive modern ists decry the use of traditional furniture in today's living. But history, has proved them wrong. Constant favorites of home makers today are the creations of the great 18th century cab inet makers. Their work, un excelled in construction and in genuity, has a personality and charm that ripens with age. Easy Combination An interior decorator of taste can take these traditional pieces and combine them with our best modern. The combination adds adds interest . to rooms that might otherwise remain static. A familiar example is the use of Shaker furniture in conjunc tion with contemporary furnish ings. All furniture designed within the same period in the western world has a certain conformity of style that makes it fairly simple to combine with early American. Early American blends beau tifully with the rustic simplicity of old pieces from England, France or Italy. Imagination Needed It does not necessarily follow that traditional furniture must be set off against its native background that traditional fabrics and accessories are es sential. Indeed, a simple and plain background and the employ ment of modern textiles can often enhance period furnish ings. They would not then be subject to the distractions of pattern. It admittedly is a challenge to the interior decorator who wants to employ traditional fur- wood paneling and costly carved detail. But the problem can be an proached with imagination and skill. The result is pleasing in its freshness and undeniably re flects the personality . of the home-owner.

IPaDttjpciDiniinrfi It's not often that Potpourri hears scripture quoted while at lunch and at the Medford hotel, at that. But we did last Mon day, while talking over a coming event with a committee of Junior Service leaguers. The quotation, from Isaiah, says "the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing," and it was repeated by Mrs. Floyd Baker. Mrs. Baker, along with Mrs. Brandt Bartels and Mrs. C. H. Buffington were telling all their exciting plans for the simply super-colossal spring style show which the leaguers plan for mid March. The show will earn money for the kindergarten which the group supports, a kindergarten where children handicapped by deafness are given special training. . The leaguers are proud of their little kindergarten, and were interested to read in the March issue of National Geographic about Clarke School for the Deaf at Northhampton, Mass., which uses the same methods of teaching as does the little school here. And the article is headed by the words from Isaiah. League members have to earn more than $4,000 every year to keep the kindergarten in operation, and are hoping that their coming style show, which is going to have something of the touch of a Hollywood premiere, will draw capacity audiences. While the Junior Service league works hard to help educate deaf children, Lady Lions throughout all Oregon work equally hard to aid the blind child. This week Lady Lions of Phoenix are bringing Walter R. Dry, superintendent of the Oregon State School for the Blind at Salem, for a lecture and tea hour in the Phoenix community building Thursday night. Anyone interested is invited to attend and hear something about how Oregon cares for the blind child. The special project of the Lady Lions is unusually interesting. They finance an institute held each summer in Salem for parents of blind children the parents go to school and learn how to help their handicapped children, and the venture is said to have wonderful results. Since hearing Mrs. J. W. Bunch talk last Saturday night, we've been wondering if many of us realize how we are a part of public opinion. Mrs. Bunch, like so many others these days, talked about peace and she reminded the women in her audience that they help to form public opinion everytime they themselves express an opinion, or repeat someone else s words. Mrs. Bunch, a Methodist who works in Wesleyan Service guild, added her bit to public opinion by saying she firmly be lieved in the United Nations, said peace must begin in our hearts and we should quit having belligerant thoughts. Mrs. Bunch closed her talk by quoting from a Methodist hymn which says "All people of the earth share but one common birth, one destiny; one sun shines o'er us all, alike we rise or fall; one night will spread its pall, eternally; great God of all the earth, lead us to know, the worth of sympathy; may fellowship increase, O may we dwell in peace, eternally." For the banquet last Saturday evening Wesleyan Guild mem bers wore costumes brought from foreign countries. Mrs. William Sweet, who sat next to Potpourri, wore a beautiful oriental kimono and said she almost was refused a ride down to the church because of the garb. The man who was chauffeuring Mr. Sweet and his wife looked doubtfully at his passenger and said "are you going to the church in your nightgown"' . Monday we came upon an item in the Oregon State College Barometer which quoted an anthropologist. William Laughlin, associate professor of anthropology, said differences among races are no more significant than differences among individuals and he defined race as "a short episode in the biological history of a population." Anthropologist Laughlin says that while most people believe cultural differences seem due to racial differences, actually it may be the opposite and declared that "racial differences are de veloping between the Christian and non-Christian Japanese." More "public opinion" garnered along the way last week: Words from a speech by Dr. Harry Rudin of Yale university at the recent meeting of Oregon Council of Churches. "our politi cal system is not an eternal value and neither is our economic system;" words from a resolution passed by the' council "the present crisis also indicates the necessity of changing the tradi tional policy of the great powers of making other powers insecure in order to attain their own security," and Dr. Surindar Suri "force is the lazy way out it is much easier than trying to under stand one another and discussing everything until a just decision is reached." . If you believe that young females are getting sillier about fads all the time, read this from the issue of The Mail Tribune for March 2, 1915: '.'Girls Keep your beaux under your eyes latest fad. (That was the headline) The 'only girl' no longer wears 'his picture in her wrist watch, nor does she keep it close to her heart. Just to show the world that she's rather proud of her best beau, she pastes his picture just beneath her eye. "Of course, she can't see it herself, unless she looks in the mirror the most roguish eye cannot focus on the cheek bone just below it, but the rest of the world sees, and admires, and the 'only girl is happy. "The 'beau under your eye' fad is brand new, but it's spreading like an epidemic. A tiny kodak picture is the k'.nd to use for facial decoration.. If carefully cut out, it fits neatly on the point of the cheekbone." . ' Parents who believe in the value of a liberal arts education were probably encouraged by an article in a recent copy of Time. It told how the Bell Telephone company of Pennsylvania sent some of its most promising young executives back to' school for a special Institute of Humanistic. Studies for Executives. This was done because Bell's president, Wilfred Donnell Gillen, decided that there was something lacking in the average rising young businessman he said they had neither the background nor the ability to make "broad" decisions. He worked out the special course with the University of Pennsylvania and the young men were introduced to a tough course of philisophy, literature, history and art, to say nothing of logic, ethics, esthetics, music, economics and architecture. According to Time, the young men found their attitudes great ly changed. One said "I used to do only the things that had always been done before. Now I ask myself what this depart ment is going to be like 20 years from now ... I used to think that there was nothing in life besides earning money and looking forward to a Cadillac. Now I ask myself what is right, rather than what should I do and what am I expected to. do ..." All of which adds up to a quotation we once read to the effect that an education should prepare an individual how to live, and not merely how to earn a living.

Sunday, March 6, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Quit Worrying About Food, Sociologist Tells Parents Madison, Wise. (U.R) One child's refusal to eat denies the prominent sociologist advises mothers to quit worrying about children's food, problems. Na ture will see that the young sters get enough to eat. This is the conclusion Orville G. Brim, sociologist at the Uni versity of Wisconsin, reached in a study of 3,000 mothers who complained they had trouble getting their children to eat. Brim said every child has a poor appetite at one time or another for several reasons, and a number of those reasons have little to do with health. Brim said lack of appetite may be caused by both physical and emotional disturbances. But these disturbances alone ' dont lead to feeding problems . The problems grow out of pressures the parents put on their children to eat, and that can happen even if the child is getting all the food he needs. Rigid Rules Unwise Brim said these are the main reasons' parents put the pressure on their children to eat: Rigid rules about the amount of each type of food parents think a child should have. Brim said studies indicate that chil dren naturally will eat the food they need if it is made avail able, of course. . . Strict adherence to a schedule. Brim said, a youngster doesn't get hungry at regular intervals. Concern over the size of chil dren because of a phobia for height and weight charts begun some 35 years ago. The socio logist said mothers sometimes try to make their children grow big and prove they are good mothers. ' Parental dominance over the child. Brim said parents some times insist that children eat simply because they want to teach them to obey. The mother's rejection of the children. Unwilling mothers work I harder to bring their chil dren up properly because society and guilt feelings demand it, Brim said. This latter attitude leads to some of the most difficult feed ing problems, Brim said. A unwilling mother an opportune ity to ease her conscience. The mother punishes the child out of a feeling of hostility in the guise of doing what is best for the youngster.
