"The majority, of families have changed from making a living to buying a living," said Use H. Wolf, head of the home econo mics department, Oklahoma A and M college. "As a result, the homemaker has become the purchasing agent for the home and family," she told the convention of the American Home Economics Association. "She determines to a signifi cant degree the finaincial condi tion, not only of herself , and her family, but also of the national economy," Miss Wolf said. .

This season the French look is everywhere in ,school-set cot tons, and the high fashion themes from Paris have been cut down to school-size versions. The overblouse, the tunic and the A-line are as bright and shiny as an apple in separates, jumpers, and dresses, reports the National Cotton council. The overblouse is the fashion favorite with the ABC crowd. Pleated skirts are popular com panions, featuring the long-torso look. Leading candidates for a straight "A" fashion are a red overblouse and gray jumper in cotton broadcloth. The outfit looks like a blouse and box- pleated skirt, but the sleeveless jumper can be worn alone mak ing it a double-duty outfit. To give it a French flair, there's a red beret in cotton. Making fashion news on the playground are the Scotch tar tans in cotton broadcloth and corduroy. Black Watch plaid, a top scorer is featured in blazers, jumpers, dresses and pedal push ers. For daddy's girl, the ever-popular jumper is styled in Black Watch plaid corduroy to match father's cotton plaid hankie and sport shirt. r Former Residents Visit in Medford Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred T Frost, former Medford resi dents now living in Portland, are guests in Medford of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Schmdit, 3490 South Pacific highway. They will leave for Portland the first of the week. Other recent guests of the Schmidts have been their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Draper and four chil dren, Albany, and another son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Willard Trask and three sons, San Diego. Guests Attend Festival Plays Mrs. Bruce McDonald and children,' Terry Lou, Susan Ann and David Patrick, Butte Falls, are visting this week with Mrs. McDonald's mother, Mrs. Fred Rankin, 18 Richmond avenue. During their visit Mrs. Mc Donald plans to attend Oregon Shakespearean festival plays. Also here to attend festival plays were Mrs. John Raitt and son, Robert Raitt, Paso Robles, Calif., who were guests of Mrs. Rankin for the week end. Mr. Raitt is a political science in structor in California public school system. IPdDilpaDimiPirS This seems to be the year for valley folk to take unorthodox tours abroad. Mrs. Clifford Aldrich and a friend from Yreka, Karen Johnson, set forth to tour Europe with no reservations of any kind anywhere, no knowledge of foreign- languages, no return tickets and, according to Mrs. Aldrich, "no sense no nothing." They came home with reports of a wonderful time and plans to go again. What will be more amazing to most women, they took only one small suitcase for the two of them, plus what they could cram into small zipper cases which each carried. Mrs. Aldrich wrote "Between the two of us we carried one small overnight case which held our complete wardrobe. It con sisted of two shortie nightgowns, one bar soap, one jar cold cream, one wrap-around nylon robe (community property) one extra orlon and cotton dress apiece, a few scattered bobby pins, one bottle aspirin, one jar powdered coffee, lots of color film as well as black and white for picture taking. Total weight 23 pounds. This included a written agreement that we would take turns carrying the suitcase. "Our going away costumes were homemade sun-back dresses of printed orlon and cotton with matching jackets having three quarter length sleeves. We wore nylon lingerie, no jewelry except our wrist watches, our sturdy ballet suppers fashioned with tiny flat heels (our favorite footgear) no hats and a good warm coat apiece. "We each carried a large zippered handbag Into which we put our toothbrushes, lipsticks, one emery board and a pair of minia ture scissors, one silk scarf (for church visits) an orlon sweater, a fountain pen and the best cameras on the market. Next to our skin in specialy designed petticoat purses we carried our travelers checks and passports. Some half-wit suggested at the last minute that we also carry silver dollars as emergency currency these together with our smallpox certificates gave us a well fed look over one hip." Both women are dancers and dance instructors, and visited many studios and dance schools while on the trip. The George Flanagans Mr. and Mrs. and three sons, also went to Europe without reservations and had an equally wonder ful time. The unique feature of the Flanagans' tour was that they visited 23 families in Germany families the Flanagans had aided with food, clothing and encouraging letters written by Mrs. F. during the postwar years. The sending of the CARE packages and the letters had been in the nature of a personal project in international good-will and un derstanding and the Flanagans now know that it was worth doing. Everywhere they went the Germans received them with open arms and expression of genuine friendship and gratitude, they report. Only one person attempted to "use" the Americans, they said, one man having been determined that Mr. F. would make it possible for him to come to the United States to live. Mrs. Flanagan, who bubbles with enthusiasm over her expe rience,' came home believing that people in this country can learn many things from the Europeans. She was impressed with the fact that they do not waste huge quantities of food and other material as do Americans, impressed with their wide knowledge of foreign languages, liked the Germans for their thrift, industry and neat ness, and their excellent coffee. She wishes that this country would copy the Europeans and do away with highway advertising, she wishes that American families "lived together and worked to gether" as the European families do and that Americans had the habit of eating at sidewalk tables and other outdoor spots yke the continentals. Potpourri was pleased to have an opportunity of meeting Alf Guldahl of Strommen, Norway, who was married August 20 to Harriet Houghton, daughter of the Dwight Houghtons. This per sonable young man chatted with us in a friendly fashion, said he was one of nine brothers and the last to be married. When we asked him if weddings in Norway were much differ ent from those here, he said not much and added that the wed ding marches were a little different. The bridegroom then ex plained that in Norway the procession down the aisle is at a some what faster rate, and that the recessional is about the same pace. He apologetically said he felt he church, and we agreed that this is a custom in America which might well be changed. The bridegroom's family in Norway arranged to have a large bouquet of flowers sent to the bride the day before the wedding and these were tied with the Norwegian colors, red, white and blue. During the wedding reception the Rev. George R. V. Bol ster, who had officiated for the ceremony," proposed a toast to the bride and said "To Harriet for her efforts to promote friendly international relations." Mr. Guldahl said he and Harriet plan to visit in Norway in 1957 and that the visit would determine whether or not they stayed in that country, or returned here. It was only last week that Potpourri learned with horror that in the Guldahl-Houghton engagement story a typographical, error resulted in the statement that "Miss 'Houghton has been attending Central Institute for 'the Dead." Just one little letter wrong, and look what happens. The bride's tactful mother did not reproach us, or even mention the mistake. Neither has Mrs. Aldrich mentioned the fact that her name came out "Mrs. Mildred Aldrich" instead of Mrs. Clifford Aldrich. When this appeared to our startled gaze we rushed to the copy box and found that some bemused typesetter had nonchalantly given Mrs. A. a new name. . ' The dress which Charity Williams wore Tuesday for her wed ding to Robert Small, Seattle architect, was one of the most un usual and interesting we had ever seen. Made from exquisite taf feta brought from China about 60 years ago, the dress had a panel of beautiful embroidery set in the skirt, the design being lilies-of-the-valley and pansies in color. The tiny nosegay of white' rosebuds and violets, which the tranquil face completed a picture which brought murmers of ap preciation from the reception guests. O.S.
