Kunkel was observed Monday evening. May 23, at a dinner at the home of a son and daughter-in-law, 28 Highland drive. The Kunkels live at 201 Wil lamette avenue. They were mar ried May 23, 1905 at the home of her parents in Minden, la. They moved to Medford in 1937 and Mr. Kunkel has been en gaged in the building contracting business throughout his life and is still associated with his son in the business.- Mrs. Kunkel until the last two years has been active in St. Peters Lutheran church work. The couple has four children, Couple Visits Sorrento, Capri; Like Farms Better Than Cities . (This is the fourth letter re ceived by the Mail Tribune from Mr. and Mrs. Melvin A. Krows, 1215 East Main street, during a trip to Europe. The following letter was written at Nice, France.) Since leaving Rome we took the train to Naples, "the slum of Italy," a city of 1,400,000 of which 60 per cent are unemploy ed due to the bombing and a de terioration (human) which has been going on for a century, we are told. Once it was the main sea port of Italy, now only a very few vessels touch here. City Repulsive Thousands of beggars and sell ers of junky stuff swarm around tourists like flies. The city is dirty and repulsive after cen turies of art and culture. From Naples we traveled by bus stop ping at Pompeii where a great area of the city has been exca vated showing it as it was 2,- 000 years ago with the excep tion of the roofs which were in most cases of wooden beams. Baths, bake ovens, fountains, etc. Streets paved and water to homes and fountains, by lead pipes with frozen faucets and stop-cocks. Chariot and cart wheels wore grooves in the pavements; narrow stone walks worn several inches deep by pe destrians. Fountains worn deep ly by persons placing their hands to lean over to drink. The volcan ic deposit is from 16 to 25 feet. Famed Sorrento Continued to Sorrento famed the world over, for what reason we do not know. The city is dirty and the best hotels have as many as six parlors on main floor with paintings and statu ary, oriental rugs, Venetian chan deliers and elevators for two persons; plumbing stopped up, dark halls and rooms that smell bad and this is in hotels charging as much as $16 per room per day. Capri was a blessed relief, it Speaker Discusses Herbs of Valley Sixteen members and euests of Rogue Valley Herb Society gathered at the Girls Community club Tuesday for the regular meeting of the society. Mrs. Stephen F. Counts. Grants Pass, Ore., president, presided during the business meeting. Roll call was answered with "A Bev erage Plant." R. C. Cordis, Trail, discussed "Wild Herbs of Rogue Valley," stating that the bulb of the blue camas is best when baked, that the lowly dandelion is rich in calcium, iron and sod ium and that manv of the so- called weeds are of value from the nutritional and health stand point. Mrs. Counts gave the reciDe of the month. Mrs. John Fugill gave a recipe for potpourri so that the members could dry rose petals and purchase srjices and oil in preparation for making potpourri at a laboratory meet ing later. Sunday. May 29. 1955 Mr. and Mrs. Owen Kunkel, Owen A. Kunkel, In whose home the dinner was held; Mrs. Albert Tousignant of Medford; Mrs. Burl Thomas of Yakima, Wash., and Mrs. Harry Bamesburger of Valparaiso, Ind. They also have seven grandchildren. At the dinner Monday evening in addition to the honored couple and the hosts were Mr. and Mrs Charles Peterson and son Rod ney, of Underwood, la.; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Tousignant, and son David, and the hosts' children, Leilani and Deanna. is about 16 miles off the coast on a small island with mountains up to 4,000 feet. It is clean and beautiful, flowers everywhere, and fruit. The hotels, even though at least 100 years old, were pleasant and well operated and the food excellent. The town rests in a saddle between the mountains and is reached by a funicular tram. Blue Grotlo The Blue Grotto was really something. Our boat had 200 pas sengers and it tied up against a vertical cliff 1,000 feet high and the small row boats came along side and each took three passeng ers. They lay on their backs, in the boat and entered the grotto (about 200 feet away) through a. hole four feet high and eight feet wide. About 30 feet in, it opens to a cave 100 feet wide and 20 feet high. The light en ters through the water, some thing like a swimming pool lighted from below. Returning to Naples we took the train to Nice, France. Good Farming The farms along west coast of Italy are wonderful, well farmed and irrigated. Grain, hay, grapes, oranges and fine truck gardens. Over night at Pisa, once a city that controlled Turkey, Arabia, etc., etc., now a city of 83,000 and of not much importance. Passed through Carrara with its wonderful marble quarries. From Pisa to Nice the railroad follows closely the coast of the Mediterranean sea with thou sands of beach resorts and hotels. The coast is rugged and the few beaches are gravelly. The season is not "on" yet. We can think of lots of places where we would rather vacation. Ratty Hotels Nice is another big city with ratty hotels, fancy stores, etc. Fancy ladies on the streets lead poodles, and carry unwrapped vegetables and bread, etc. Most live in dark apartments with five to six floor walkups. The store fronts and trees smell and look like dirty barnyards, the sweet little doggies' places of conven ience. Prices in France about 100 per cent over other continental cities. Tonight to Monte Carlo.
