G
SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Johnny and Carolyn Lynch felt sorry for President Eisenhow
er when they learned that he was ill, and decided to write him
letters. Each did so, and recently the mail brought them thank
you notes from Mrs. Eisenhower. They are on the President's
crested letter paper, and the children will cherish them for many
' years.
The notes read "The President and I are 'deeply grateful for
your expression of good wishes and prayerful concern in his ill
ness. I assure you your message has been helpful to him." It .was
signed '"Mamie Eisenhower."
Johnny, who is 6, wrote the president that he prays for his
recovery every night, and added that he was just starting to
school. Carolyn, 7, invited President Eisenhower to visit the Rogue
valley and see how beautiful it is and wrote that maybe when he
was better, he could make the trip. Each child sent picture post
cards of scenes in this area.
The two youngsters are children of Mr. and Mrs. John B
Lynch, 139 Kenwood avenue, and Mrs. Lynch reported that the
idea of the letter writing was their very own.
Potpourri's mail was unusually interesting last week. One
story was about the new electronic kitchen stoves, now out of the
experimental stage and actually in kitchens, another was about
how the Dutch live longer than any other people on earth, and
another was about a new ring a divorce ring, and new synthetic
diamonds.
We'd love to have one of the new electronic stoves, for the one
thing we don't have enough of is time, and the cooking speed of
these electronic stoves is phenomenal. The stoves broil bacon on
a paper plate in two minutes, bake a potato in five minutes, cook
a 5-pound roast in 30 minutes and bake a 2-layer cake in six
minutes in a cold oven. And there won't be any question about
how to spend the time we save we could read, or work in the
garden or just stand and look at the sky. The trouble is. though,
that the so-called time-saving devices never seem to really leave
us with any more time.
The Dutch information service sent out copies of a special
Cferticle by Robert Muscl, United Press writer, in which he tried
to find out why the Dutch live so long, when they don't even
think about how to live longer. On the contrary, he points oul
that the Americans worry more about how to live than any people
on earth.
Writer Musel claims that the Dutch don't take vitamins, they
eat too much starch, the climate is terrible and they don't gel
enough sunshine and they drink a lot, and still they live longer
than anyone else. According to a Dutch journalist quoted by the
UP reporter "It's not what we do, it's what we haven't got thai
makes ,us live long. I mean the cars and refrigerators and fur
coats we don't have and don't worry about, and the neighbors we
o'on't try to keep up with."
We learned about the new divorce ring and the synthetic dia
monds from releases sent out by the Kenya Gem corporation. Ken
ya maintains that the divorce ring was designed "in response to
requests from many sources." The firm says the new ring will be
the same size as a wedding ring, but will be "a jet black circlet
set with seven full cut sparkling, dazzling white gems."
Another release said that Kenya will shortly put out replicas
of some of the world's famous diamonds and "these replicas will
be more brilliant, and more sparkling than the original diamonds
themselves due to laboratory discoveries by modern science."
According to Kenya, the gems are made from a white powder,
called ilmenite, which is heated to about 4,000 degrees fahrenheit
until solid crystals are formed. These stones, weighing about 150
to 250 carats, are then cut and polished just like a diamond.
The company plans to make replicas of the Hope, the Star of
Africa, the Sancy, the Dresden, Pasha of Egypt, Nassak, Pigott
and the Empress Eugenie. The originals are reputed to be worth
about Sl,200,000, while the reproductions will be valued at about
S12,000. The company plans to put the reproductions on tour.
When Mrs. Everett Gosch and Mrs. John Ferrarelli arrived at
Mary's casa for a dinner which preceded the Ferrarelli-Gosch wed
ding, the two mothers were startled to discover that both were
wearing turquoise knit dresses. They made a joke of the coinci
dence but what they didn't know then was that their dresses for
the wedding were almost identical in color and fabric. Both had
bought slate gray taffeta gowns.
Mrs. Iva Hayes says she's just a slave to her garden and house
plants, and can't seem to break the dreadful habit of planting
more and more all the time, instead of less. Potpourri, who sat
opposite Mrs. Hayes at the Republican women's luncheon Tues
day, knew exactly what she meant. "I go out in the garden firmly
, resolved just to walk around a bit and three hours later I've pulled
weeds, pruned a bush or two, cut off some dead flowers and
transplanted a half dozen perennials," said4 Mrs. Hayes with a
sigh. "Then I have to hurry like everything to get the house in
order and if I'm going out, it takes everything from a scrub brush
to bleach to put my hands in shape." This is an old story to any
gardener, too. There just doesn't, seem to be any such thing as
spending a few minutes in a garden.
Almost 250 visitors registered for the annual AAUW art show
last week which marked American Art week here. All in all, the
committee considered the show extremely successful, and a re
flection of the growing interest in art in southern Oregon. About
CO artists, both the professionals and the hobbyists, entered almost
100 paintings, filling the basement room of the Medford hotel.
AAUW committee members were most grateful to the hotel man
agement for the use of the big room.
Mrs. Afton Carter not only entered works in the show, but
exhibited them on heirloom easels made of handsome, carved
wood. One even had a little mirror in the elaborate top. These
were greatly admired, and some wondered why decorative easels
had gone out of style.
Bits from the speech of Norman Thomas, a man who has lived
to see many of his ideas, once branded as radical, now a part of
the American way of life: The Democrats of the south and the
Republicans up here should get
too bad that presidential campaigns knock a year out of rational
thinking in this country; we have exhausted our natural resources
and are now a "have not" nation;
to support government and not
support the people, (quotation from Grover Cleveland): all major
countries of the world are now
budgets on arms while children
0 proclaim peace, and we had peace the next day, what would be
the state of the stock market? O.S.
