Just in case you've missed stories about this In the past, we're
going to repeat some facts:
The teeth of school children in Jackson county have the high
est rate of dental decay of any area in the state, and Oregon rates
high in the nation. This was shown in a survey made by Dr. D. M.
Hadjimarkos of the Oregon Dental school, and the figures were
repeated by Dr. Lee Mellish, local dentist, at a recent meeting of
the board of Jackson County Public Health association.
Dr. Mellish urged parents to become concerned about the mat
ter, and probably when they are sufficiently awakened to the se
riousness of the situation, they will need no further urging. Dr,
Mellish said that dental decay is occurring six times faster than
local dentists can cope with it. Which probably accounts for the
fact that the parents we know are constantly complaining about
how often their children must visit the dentist, and what a drain
it is on the family budget.
Dr. Mellish also stated that the 10-year study of fluoridation
of municipal water supplies is now completed with no evidence of
harmful effects and with a 65 per cent reduction in decay among
children living in areas where the element fluorine is added to
the water.
The 1950 census showed a new pattern for employment of worn
en, according to the United States Department of Agriculture
Rural women are beginning to follow their city sisters into the
forces of the employed, the census showed, with a fourth of all
rural women between the ages of 20 and 50 in the labor force.
The survey also showed that there are more women cooks in
cafes and restaurants than there were a few years ago, and more
waitresses, with fewer waiters. Women are also gaining numer
ically in the fields of bookkeeping, cashiering, and as telephone
operators and in sales positions. The census also showed that
there are more women employed in agricultural work, replacing
men who have quit their agricultural jobs.
The past week's schedule kept Potpourri running hither and
yon at a terrific rate. Monday noon it was the luncheon for Miss
Helen S. Moor, dean of women at Oregon State college. There was
a gorgeous daffodil corsage at the place where we sat, but since
we were quite sure it was meant for someone else, we politely
ignored it until Mrs. George Carter explained that it was really
for the society reporter.
When we protested that we hadn't done anything to deserve a
corsage, the dean said "perhaps it isn't for. what you've done in
the past but what they hope you will do in the future." Hmmmm.
Dean Moor seemed a trifle uneasy over our pencil and paper and
stopped during the middle of her talk to ask "are you writing
all this down!"
Monday night it was the style show which Tudor guild gave
at Tally Ho. The guild members really packed the guests in, and
already have started to scheme schemes for another year. Part
of the polish on this show was due to H. Paul Kliss, Shakespearean
actor, and Rod Barrows. The latter works professionally with style
shows in Portland and the Kliss-Barrows team turned out a
smooth job of commentating and entertainment.
Just as an experiment, Barrows did an off-the-cuff commenta
tion for the last .half of the show, quickly noting the costume
and making apt remarks on material, accessories and general
effect. Audience response was good.
Afterwards many a person stopped to tell Dr. and Mrs. B. A.
Cope what darling models their two small daughters made. "Just
a couple of little hams," grumbled Dr. C, good-naturedly. "Did
you watch them on the ramp? Neither one would leave until
they'd milked the last drop of applause from the audience!" Mrs.
Cope received a lot of applause, too, and when the three appeared
in mother-daughter outfits, they were introduced as "three girls
in blue."
Lots of the dresses and suits were exciting, but one of the
most exciting was the cocktail dress of polished cotton modeled
by Mrs. Ralph McCuIloch. It had a slim dark skirt with flowered
tunic top ending in a pouff peplum very, very new looking and
just made for tall and slim Mrs. McCuIloch.
Thursday night we joined Zonta club members, In honoring
Mrs. Brandt Bartels, the club's 1955 woman of the year. Mrs. Bar
tels, honored because of her work with deaf children, wore a very
full printed spring dress and her slippers were utterly the last
word figured like her dress and made with just the one strap
across the instep the same kind of footwear which caused Bar
rows to remark Monday that the model wore "slippers that almost
aren't there."
Mrs. Bartels was very surprised it took her quite a few mo
ments to regain her composure. Generous Mrs. B. didn't forget to
give her fellow-members in Junior Service league credit, too, and
said "there really should be a multiple award all the members
work hard for the kindergarten."
Mrs. Charles Champlin sang for the Zontians and their guests,
and when she rose for her numbers, apologized for her appear
ance and said "I feel like a new Kem-tone job." Mrs. C. had come
directly from the TV station and her show, and wore heavy
makeup. When complimented afterwards for her excellent per
formances in the show, Mrs. Champlin confessed that it is unre
hearsed, that she doesn't own a set, never watches TV and doesn't
know what a good TV show should be like. Well, someone does.
The vast majority of the American peopie would jail all local
Communists, deprive them of citizenship and fire them from
their jobs, according to a survey published in Look magazine. In
contrast to the views of the rank and file, of Americans, Look
says, the majority of this country's community leaders would not
put a Communist in jail, would let him speak in public and
would tolerate a freethinker's speech against religion.
According to Look, while the American people were found to
fear Communists, 30 per cent of those polled could not think of
a single correct name of an investigator of Communism in Con
gress, not even Senator McCarthy.
The survey also found that younger people are more tolerant
than older people, men are more tolerant than women, the better
educated are more tolerant than the less educated, the Far West
is more tolerant than the East and Middle West, the South is least
tolerant, churchgoers are less tolerant than non-churchgoers, city
people are more tolerant than rural people, community leaders
are more tolerant than the public-at-large, American Legion com
manders and DAR regents are more tolerant than the public-at-large,.
much of "America's anti-intellectualism is religioui in
origin." O.S.

Noted Soloists
To Play With
Portland Group
Portlan d Portland's new
Symphony conductor, Theodore
Bloomfield, will be joined next
year by the strongest aggrega
tion of soloists ever offered in
one season of the Portland sym
phony. The traditional ten-concert
subscription series in the
auditorium will open on October
31, 1955 and continue through
March 26, 1956.
Rudolf Serkin, noted pianist,
who made his local debut with
the symphony nearly 20 years
ago and has not played with the
orchestra since, will celebrate
the 200th anniversary of Mo
zart's birth with a performance
of two of that master's concertos
with the orchestra.
Mischa Elman, next year ob
serving his 50th year in concerts,
will play the Tchaikovsky Vio
lin concerto in his first orches
tral appearance here. Returning
after several years absence, Wil
liam Primrose will be viola solo
ist in the Berlioz "Harold in
Italy."
One of the greatest opera stars
of our time, and a great favorite
with local audiences, is Licia Al
banese, also making her orches
tral debut here. Another great
favorite locally is Isaac Stern,
violinist, who appeared as a
child prodigy in a Stadium sym
phony concert, but will make
his first adult solo appearance
with the Portland Orchestra.
New to Portland audiences is
Leon Fleisher, the great young
American pianist who won the
most difficult of all interna
tional prizes, the Ysaye Compe
tition in 1952. A pupil and pro
tege of Pierre Monteux and the
late Arthur Schnabel, Fleisher
ranks among the very greatest
artists of the rising generation.
Full information regarding
season tickets is available at the
Symphony office in the Park
building. Despite the exceptional
array of soloists, there will be
no increase in ticket prices.
