This is the week to celebrate weeks it's National Music
week. National Mental Health week, National Home Demonstra
tion week. National Family week, Oregon Conservation week and
National Be Kind to Animals week. Which moves us to join
forces with the man, whoever he was, who recently suggested a
National Do Nothing week."
It will be "do something" week for the Philharmonic Society
of Southern Oregon, for. the orchestra has planned a concert
May 5 and last-minute planning and rehearsals will take up the
time of members. One member might just be the busiest of all.
Mrs. Jean Bowers, who plays the bass viol for the Philharmonic,
has five children and still finds time for music, even though it
makes her a bit tardy sometimes.
The night Potpourri and Photographer Ken Knackstedt toik
the Philharmonic pictures Mrs. B. was late for rehearsal, apolo
gized and said "I just can't seem to get anywhere on time!"
This editor thinks the press is growing too dignified and too
docile. He writes . . . "the press had a part in the now established
fact that after Joe McCarthy trumpeted false figures about Com
munists in the State Department, it was five years before it was
made clear that McCarthy's campaign had not uncovered one.
And that was not disclosed by the press but by a politician from
South Carolina."
Potpourri certainly saw a colorful array of smart new clothes
last week, first at the annual benefit of the county chapter of
the American Cancer society, and then at the Beta Sigma Phi
banquet Thursday night.
The tea chairman, Mrs. George Schuler, wore a beautiful
beige lace frock, and her assistant chairman, Mrs. L. W. Bates,
had on a pretty blue spring dress with blue beads and earrings.
Mrs. L. M. Vorheis' frock was of dark blue polished cotton with
"full skirt trimmed in white and Mrs. John Day wore a pale blue
frock of the new crystalette. Mrs. Robert Keeney's dress was of
pink cotton with full skirt.
As in past years, the tea was highlighted by the floral dec
orations. The large rooms at Hillcrest were filled with sprays of
flowering fruit blossoms and the arrangements were veritable
symphonies of color.
" The house was full of flowers, but outside it alternately
rained, snowed, sleeted and blew. The hostesses, wearing their
bright cotton frocks with low-cut necklines, recalled the tea two
years ago when they wore old-fashioned gowns with long sleeves
and high, smothering folds around the neck. That day was as
unseasonably warm as last Tuesday was unseasonably cold. "We
Just can't seem to get together with the weather man" said Mrs.
Brandt Bartels, with a shiver.
Jackie Walker, doing m.c. duties for the Beta Sigma Phi
banquet, said she consulted an authority about the proper toast
mistress procedure and was told she should begin with a funny
story. Jackie remembered one: "What happens when a body is
immersed in water," asked the scientist of his pupils. "The tele
phone rings" came the prompt reply. Jackie had cause to remem
ber hadn't been able to get dressed for an hour, due to the ring
ing telephone finally Just gave the family orders to say she
wasn't home.
Jackie brought a second laugh from her audience all un
intentionally. Coming to the serious part of the program Jackie
drew a deep breath and said solemnly "There comes a time
when someone catch that skirt!" All Jackie wanted was for one
f the sisters to retrieve the beautiful Mexican skirt which,
scotch-taped to the wall as a part of the decorations, fell to the
floor just in time to distract her attention.

The Louis Gentners attended a national primrose show In
Tacoma, Wash., last weekend in which Mrs. G. had double honors
he judged in one division and won a blue ribbon in the other.
Not only that, but Mrs. Gentner put the winning entry together
while riding in the back seat of the family car from Seattle to
Tacoma. It was of primroses in shades of light yellow through
bronze on a slab of cherry wood with a brown fungus growth. It
was entered in the "unusual container" class. While away, Mrs. G.
also took examinations to qualitfy her for a judge in the auricula
class, and passed. .
Mrs. Genter, a primrose grower and hybridizer herself, was
nevertheless amazed at the thousands and thousands of flower
lovers who thronged the show in fact, officials called the police
tn order to keep the visitors back until the judging could be
finished. O S.
