Mix Traditional
With Modern,.
Says Decorator
By BENJAMIN A. COOK
Written for United Press ....
Booston 0J.R) You CAN
mix the traditional and modern
in your home.
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.

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. O.S.

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.
