Last week wasn't National Flower week not that wt knew
of, anyway, but it could have been for Potpourri. Last Sunday 'W
went to the Rosette-Leonard wedding and enjoyed the results of
the Leonard's efforts to make their daughter's wedding something
to be remembered, particularly from the standpoint of the flowers.
Mrs. Leonard had designed and made what she calls "peony
trees" tall standards topped with several large peonies, the re
suit resembling the tree roses in full bloom. The peony trees in
the church were white, and those in the reception hall were rose
pink. And as for the bride's bouquet it was enough to take the
breath away. For years, said Mrs. L., she'd been wanting to
dream up the last word in wedding bouquets, and what better
opportunity than for her own daughter? So she used a couple of
dozen of white butterfly orchids, centered it with a large white
orchid and filled in the background with lily-of-the-valley. She
finished it with a cascade of ribbon and blossoms which reached
to the bottom of the bride's dress and there it was, a bride's bou
quet to literally dream about.
Dr. Fred Lorish took almost as many pictures during the wed
ding as did Photographer Carl Landis, but at that, he missed one
which he was supposed to take. The Lorishes daughter, Mary Lee,
was flower girl and the doctor had been instructed to sneak a shot
of his daughter coming down the aisle with her basket of petals,
but he didn't get organized in time.
Potpourri feasted on flowers again Monday, but this time it
was wild flowers. Taking advantage of the half-holiday from
work, the two of us drove up into the hills, going up Griffin Creek,
through the Little Applegate valley and then way up to the top of
Anderson to the lookout station. And almost every foot of tht
way there were wild flowers dainty little beige colored iris,
pretty wild pinks, mouse ears, two or three kinds of yellow daisy;
like blossoms, a few late yellow violets, a very few precious little
lavender orchids, both yellow and blue lupine, masses of purple
larkspur, the lavender rock phlox and dozens of others.
In the canyon leading down into Talent the road was lined
with dogwood in full bloom and the day's bag of memories also
includes the sight of three does, bounding across the road and up
the hill, a few squirrels and chipmunks and a lone jack rabbit.
Biggest thrill of the day of road-side seeing was the finding of
three stalks of the rare, to use anyway, wild flower which FB of
Jacksonville calls red bells. These orange-red bells, speckled in'
side, bloom at the top of a foot-high slender stalk which has a few
carnation-like leaves, and so far we have not found them in our
wild flower book.
Wednesday we discovered we've been missing something in
iris. At the show of the Southern Oregon Iris society our two
eyes just popped out and stayed. We used up all our adjectives on
the gorgeous yellows, bronzes and creamy shades and then when
we discovered the new apricot and peach colored beauties, there
weren't any words left. There's hardly an inch of space left in
Portpourri's garden, so we're just going to throw out some of the
older iris and buy some new ones.
We discovered something new in beverages 'earlier that day,
too. It's a tomato buttermilk cocktail, which we sampled at the
June is Dairy Month show. It's made with equal parts of toma
to juice and buttermilk seasoned with salt, pepper and Worcester
shire sauce.
If you don't like the sound of tomato juice and buttermilk
together, try a purple cow. This concoction is made with vanilla
ice cream, milk and frozen grape juice concentrate. The poet who
wrote the ditty about never wanting to see a purple cow wasn't
at the show, for there was a purple cow pictured on the wall, as
big as John Snider's Little Daisy and twice as gaudy.
Like many other educators at this time of the year, Clyde F,
Sutherland was handing out advice to graduates last week. Mr.
Sutherland, superintendent of Jacksonville schools, talked for
the eighth grade class graduation and said, among other things,
that grades aren't the most important accomplishment of a student,
Mr. Sutherland stressed the importance of everyone enlarging
his interests and activities in order to have a full life. As people
grow older, the superintendent explained, interests tend to narrow
and if they are limited to begin with, later life may be pretty dull
and dreary.
Grades are forgotten in years to come, said Mr. S., but the
"outside interests" enrich daily living and make life more enjoy
able.
Thursday night when Superintendent Sutherland assisted at
the high school graduation ceremonies, he had the pleasure of pre
senting his daughter, Sydney Kay Sutherland, a $300 Elk Lumber
company award. Sydney Kay will attend Lewis and Clark college
in the fall.
Lester A. Kirkendall, OSC professor and president of the
Pacific Northwest Council on Family Relations, says high school
students shouldn't get married.. Mr. Kirkendall, writing recently
for the national PTA magazine, says the majority of high school
students who get married do so "as an escape from an unhappy
home, from failure, or from unhappiness and frustration in school."
He added that teachers and married students have told him that
"sheer curiosity about sex is probably another, important factor."
A few high school young people are emotionally mature and
prepared.for marriage, according to the professor, but the majority
of them are not. He advises parents to talk with their children as
freely and objectively as possible about the responsibilities of
marriage and family life. "It is only good common sense to launch
these discussions long before people are deeply involved emotional
ly," he said. "A straightforward talk about sex in courtship and
marriage can have a wholesome effect." Surveys show that the
early marriages occur among rich and poor students alike, children
of all occupation groups and young people of every rank in school
achievement and citizenship.
Mrs. John Ousterhout and Mrs. Don Minear, in whose farm
homes two Burmese are living this month on an exchange pro
gram, are learning a little about Burmese cookery. The Burmese
are fond of curry powder as a seasoning, so both women have been
trying it out with considerable success.
Having supposed that curry was the product of one plant, or
pod or seed, not long ago we read with interest that it is a blend of
16 different spices. This includes turmeric, ginger, black pepper,
cayenne pepper, powdered cloves, powdered caraway seeds, pow
dered cardamon and powdered coriander seeds.
We've learned from Ko Tun Oo and Maung Thein Nyun that
Burmese children drink a lot of milk but that adults probably
drink less than adults in the United States, that few Burmese
adults indulge in alcoholic beverages, that they use white flour
for bread and eat polished rice. Maung Thein 'Nyun stated that
in his country, as in this nation, many nutritionists are en
deavoring to change the food habits of the people and are en
couraging them to use whole grain four and unpolished rice. O.S.
