o Q o 0 epottpnifflirrn Two women columnists talked across the luncheon table at the district garden club meeting in Eagle Point Thursday, and we hope "Aunt Emmy" enjoyed it as much as Potpourri did. Mrs. Orrin Hale, who writes "Aunt Emmy" for Pacific Gardens and Homes, is well liked by garden club women of southern Oregon, and it was easy to see why. Mrs. Hale ate,heartily of the good food provided by Eagle Point Grange worsen, especially of the fresh tomatoes, and re marked a bit sadly that "tomatoes grown where I live don't have this fine flavor." Potpourri learned quite a bit from Aunt Emmy, both during luncheon and later when she spoke. She gave us the name of a preparation which she says does a good job of controlling the narcissi fly, which is ruining our daffodil bulbs, and during the program gave a "tot of information on that interesting herbaceous perennial, the hellebore, two varieties of which are commonly known as the Christmas rose and Lenten rose. We hope Mrs. Hale had time to see a bit of the valley, for early autumn Is one of the best times of the year here. The maples are aglow with rich reds and yellows, the pyracantha berry clusters make bright patches of color and since we've had only the slightest of frosts, the zinnias, asters and petunias are still blooming along with the first chrysanthemus. Best of all, the bright warm sun shines almost every day and we're spared the fall showers and fogs which the northern part ot the country now- has. A group of the "older girls", as Arthur Perry was wont to call us, gathered at the Medford hotel last Sunday for a BPWC tea which ushered in Business Women's week, and the colors worn by the "girls" rivaled those on the trees and shrubs outside. Laura York, a past state president, wore a bright red ensemble ich accented her gay, friendly disposition. The tea was really a special event for Miss York, for the silver service used was the one given to her by the state board when she closed her two-year presidency with Oregon BPWC. ' After the tea Potpourri and Mrs. Bertha Pree extended the pleasant afternoon by a visit with the E. C. Fergusons, joining Mrs. Ed Kelly, who had the same idea. The five of us fell to reminiscing about The Mail Tribune girl reporters and O socy editors Mr. F. had trained during his long career with theipaper, noting that several still live in Medford. ; , Irene DeLosh, now Mrs. Guy Phetteplac1 of Medford was a .society editor of the paper as a young woman, and later both Mrs. Kelly, then Mary Gremer, and Eve Nealon, now Mrs Moore Hamilton of this city, both did general and feature writing and Mrs. Hamilton also becam? society editor. After Eve Nealon Hamilton left Irva Fewell was the "woman on the staff". She is now Mrs. Coll, and works on a Honolulu newspaper. About that time Janet Ray Smith did a tour of duty with the paper, and the late Clara Mary Fuson Davis also wrote the women's and society news ior two or three years, Mr. F. also trained Betty Shoemaker of Roseburg, who married ' Walter Allen and later went to live in Roseburg (she was still on the News-Review there the last time we heard). Evelyn Nill, now. Mrs. John Ousterhout - of Eagle Point and Betty Whittle of Ashland, who? married young -Elwood Hedberg and moved to Medford. : w This hasty history brings us up to the writer, who has been with. The Tribune longer than any other woman reporter, we're told, so long we have to keep reminding ourselves that we don't own the place. . . The Fergusons, who recently observed their 45th wedding anniversary, have spent most of their married days here for they first came to Medford in 1914. In that time they have seen much growth, and have often beenin the midst of the city's must exciting e veins. j As usual, Potpourri enjoyed taking the week's' pictures, and the PTA president's proved cooperative and eager to do anything to boost the organization's annual enrollment. Mrs. George Paul, gave the reporter and photographer cookies hot out of the oven, and Mrs. Treavell Turpin went to the trouble of getting out some of the family antiques. Not only that, she loaned us a needle and thread for a bit of quick repair work on a seam which popped loose after we left the office. The Turpin's son, Daniel, who will be next owner of the General Grant cup, is named for his grandfather, Daniel S. Reiff of, Washington, D. C, and his great-grandfather, Daniel A. Reiff, to whom the cup was a gift. The Turpin's cat, Penny, proved io be considerable of a ham. Penny insisted on being in the picture, but her poses were so undignified that the mortified Mrs. Turpin had trouble concen trating on the photographer's instructions. "Why is it," mourned Mrs. Turpin, "that I always manage to look silly in a picture? To which we might add that of course, Mrs. Turpin just imagines she doesn't photograph well and that more than half of the sub jects on our page are fearful of the results, but find their fears groundless once the pictures are in print ' Closing Thought Justice Robert Jackson once said: "Our forefathers found the evils of free, thinking more to be endured than the evils of inquest or suppression. This is because the thoughtful, bold and independent minds are essential to wise and considered self-government." O.S. gjp Combed Mercerized HI Dress Chambray tj (J .

PTA Congress To Concentrate On Seeking Emergency Aid for Needed School Construction The National Congress of Par ents suid Teachers will concen trate on securing emergency aid for school construction during the coming year, Mrs. Clifford N. Jenkins of Long Island, N.Y., chairman of the standing com mittee on legislation, has re ported to the organization's board of managers meeting at tKe Congress hotel, Chicago. "Surveys have been con ducted to rove that there is a tremendous shortage of class rooms all over the country," Mrs. Jenkins saicf. "This has caused a backlog that appears to be too great . for any single state to overcome, so we are supporting national legislation to deal with this problem," she added. Mrs. Jenkins said that the PTA is not considering a bill for continuing aid. Its interest, she emphasized, is in emergency aid on an-equalization basis so that all states may be helped. Mrs. Jenkins said that to meet the present classroom shortage in this country, construction equivalent to a one-story build ing extending from the Statue of Liberty In New York to the Golden Gate bridge in California is necessary. Mrs. Jenkins pointed out that while a bill to deal with the pres ent classroom shortage is pend ing before the House of Repre sentatives, findings of the .White House conference to be in No vember undoubtedly will affect any bills before i'the house or senate or in committee. . "The PTA legislation com mittee will be ready to alert the membership to any bills , that come within the framework of our policy," Mrs. Jenkins said, and we will do everything we can to help solve this grave prob lem." 1 The PTA also will support the library services bill which will be pending when Congress-' re convenes, Mrs. Jenkins reported. This bill will provide funds for rural communities for library services on a matching basis from federal and state funds, but will be administered by the states. "The bill is designed for five years," Mrs. Jenkins explained, "and it is hoped that by that time iwill have proved to the people the tremendous need for rural libraries." According to Mrs. Jenkins, the PTA will continue to lend its support to bills that will extend the effectiveness of the juvenile division of the Chil dren's Bureau of the U.S. Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare. "If additional legislation is passed, it will make it possible for the Children's Bureau to im prove its consultant services and assist the various states in per sonnel training, prevention and rehabilitation work," she said. As a result of this, Mrs. Jenkins believes, state appropriations for the same purposes also will increase. . Mrs. Jenkins said: "The PTA will continue to work for appro priations to continue the work of the United Nations Children's fund, proving the interest of the American publis in all children of all people. Dry Cleaning Institute Solves Fading Mystery Silver Springs, Md. (U.R) The feminine desire for beauti ful hair, is proving costly to a woman's wardrobe, according to the National Institute of Dry Cieaning. The institute Teports an in creasing number of .women com plaining that cloihes in storage ior a while fade around the neck and upper shoulders. The institute's research de partment studied 220 garments damaged this way and conclud ed it -was a familiar problem loss offabric color from perma nent cold wave solutions. The institute said that many cold wave solutions when spilled cn a fabric do not cause an im mediate color change. In some cases, it takes three or" four weeks; sometimes, three or four months after cleaning before a 'olor change develops from ac tion of the solution's chemicals. It. often is noticeable when gar ments are taken from storage. tundaf, October 1& JtSDSORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEE? 'Peeled' Steak May Be Popular .
