PL SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, February 19. 1958 IPoitjpaDiiiiinra We distinctly remember that practically nothing happened in Medford last February, whereas, this month there has been a never-ending round of parties, meetings, visitors, concerts and causes to publicize. Last week Potpourri heard a Knife and Fork speaker, attend ed the annual senior class play, heard a band concert in Ashland and interviewed a Japanese girl who has come to Medford to live. What's more, we enjoyed all of it. The Knife and Fork speaker, Robert Christopher, was modest and refreshing in manner, and we envied him his trip around the world, even though it did sound pretty rugged. Around the world in 84 days on $80! Young Christopher needed someone to model a couple of articles of women's clothing he had with him, and chose pretty Dr. June Byers, at the dinner with her husband, .Dr. Malcolm Byers. Dr. June looked interesting in the first one, a light flow ing garment with one length thrown over her head and- a little gadget that resembled a tiny apron to tie under her eyes. But the second one, which the lecturer called "a walking tent" was a horrible black garment which did resemble a small tent with a little peep-hole for the wearer to look through. All in all, we're glad Dr. June doesn't have' to conceal her face or figure under any such a monstrosity. ; Our visit with Mrs. Chester Ernst the former Tami (pro nounced like the American name, Tommy), Suzuki of Japan, proved interesting, too. Mrs. Ernst has a limited English, vocabu lary, but is friendly and sweet and tried to answer .all our ques tions. , Before going to work for the Navy in a "PX" at the Atsugi Naval Air station, Tami lived on the island of Hokido in Sapporo. She has two brothers and a sister. The newcomer is eager to learn all about the United States, and has already started to study some textbooks. She belonged to a Protestant church in Japan, and will join a church in Medford when she has improved her understanding of English enough to enjoy the sermons, she said. She brought with her to America her Japanese-American Bible. Tami's mother-in-law, Mrs. Jere Kreischer, says Tami is "sweet" and that she helps with the housework and cooking. The two women are having fun learning cooking tips from one an other. Tami cooked salmon in soy sauce shortly after her arrival here," and the family thought it was wonderful. In return Mrs. Kreischer is teaching Tami about some of the Pennsylvania Dutch dishes which she knew as a child, such as "sour cabbage." , Are you tired of trying to peel off one or two slices of cold bacon, just out of the ice box, and having it stick together and then break up into little pieces? J. G. Balmer, vice-president of Hariey Earl Inc., of Detroit, predicted in a speech the other day that before long bacon will come in rolls,' rather than stuck to gether in strips, and that it will be easy to just roll out the desired amount, like scotch tape. Or maybe it will be sold in its own frying pan made out of aluminum. - ' . . Mr. Balmer, speaking at an Alcoa Wrappress breakfast in New York, also said it wasn't out of the realm of possibilities that eggs could be re-packaged in synthetic plastic shells a whole lot better than the impractical kind provided by the hen. - '-- ' Mr. B., elaborating on the synthetic shell business, said that "they'll be easier to open arid contain preservatives to keep them fresh longer." Still on the subject of breakfast, he also predicted that firms will provide flour in portions which will produce only six pancakes at a time, and that flour could be pelletized so that it would be less dusty, and packaged in a shaker Pour milk, into the shaker, said Mr. Balmer, and the chore of washing messy mix ing bowls and beaters could be eliminated. Waffles could be pack aged in a disposable cooker, and the syrup could be contained in a separate disposable package. . ' There was more the man talked about packages with their own heating elements for plugging into a socket, big cereal and detergent boxes that will compress when half empty so they won't take up so much space, meltable bottles and jars and crushable cans. V. This all. makes us a. trifle uneasy instead of happy., , Just think of all the inventions in recent years to make life easier" and to cut down on work, and yet, we're all getting busier and busier, and life is more complicated than ever. . .. , A little boy home from kindergarten said teacher read (he children a story about Abraham Lincoln. Interested mama wanted to know what the story said, but sonny couldn't seem to remember anything except that Lincoln has been a great president. "What kind of a house did Lincoln live in?',' prompted mama. Impatient small son answered "Quit asking me questions, mama,. J . don't know what kind of a house Lincoln lived in. I don't even know what kind of a car he drove'" .'. -. -, i Wilbur Miller, a native of Mt. Vernon, Ind., was 91 years old February 15 and was honored at a small family party given by H.?G. Wilson, his half-brother, and Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Miller is still active and enjoying life, even plays the violin occasionally. Mrs. Miller, 85, has been confined to her bed in recent weeks, but hasn't allowed her infirmity to dampen her spirits. "Every thing is just wonderful," Mrs. Miller maintains. "Why, there's a doctor living next door to us, a minister and a church just down the street and an undertaker just across the street.1 What more could I want?" The Millers live at 145 South Oakdale avenue. ).S. CLEANStNG CREAMS Mtt. 9 MH 1 Taaer Emulsified Cleansing Cream for dry skim ...gires gentle, thorough cleansing!
