Rudolph Kimkels Observe
Golden IV riding Anniversary
The 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph E.
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.
