Trees put out new leaves in the spring women want new clothes. So spring fashion shows just automatically play to full houses, which makes it wonderful for organizations needing money for good causes. Medford Junior Service league counts on this in terest in new clothes to earn money each spring for -the group's kindergarten for deaf children, and drew capacity audiences for three shows last week at the Country club. Sorrie women don't wait for the league show to find out what spring fashions are they come attired i,n the latest fashion. There were many of the deep tambourine style hats which are replacing the smaller pillbox hats of past seasons, and several wore the large brimmed hats which are' the latesi fashion. Mrs. Fletcher Fish, who always looks sophisticated in her dark suits and dresses, wore a large black hat with black suit, with rhinestone clips on both hat and suit. She sat next to Mrs. Ed Bolt, another valley woman who looked smart in a dark suit and small dark, hat on ner pretty grey hair. Mrs. M. N. Hogan wore a dark red suit with large black hat which she cheerfully admitted was left over from last year. Mrs. Hogan's companion, Mrs. Fred Carr also had a confession said she was so glad that hats were getting deeper since she was an "egg head" physically, not mentally and for years had trouble finding a hat to fit when they were all shallow-crowned creations. Potpourri attended the show with Mrs. Phil Brainerd who wore a dark wool suit flecked with color and a hat which should have caused more attention than it did. The little creation had some thing thrust out at one side which resembled a small arm and perched on it was a little bird with colored feathers the photog rapher's birdie. Mrs. B. said she'd had fun wearing it at a photog convention in S.F. not long ago. Women are twice as vulnerable as men to home accidents, a survey made by the Institute of Life Insurance shows. The kitchen is one of the most dangerous places because of hot surfaces, sharp knives and other tools used in the kitchen. The survey also shows that accidents in the home top all others as killers, but that such a simple thing as a notebook helped to cut down the number of accidents. The Institute reports that when every member of the family made a note of injuries, even if it only was a burned finger, they found themselves on guard against new ones, o o Potpourri spent a couple of hours with Mrs. Almus Pruitt Tues day afternoon, talking Philharmonic, food and fiction over tea and some of the most delicious little apple turnovers it was ever our pleasure to eat. Mrs. Pruitt invited us to talk over publicity for the Philharmonic society, which will give its final concert of the season this spring, but the two of us didn't stick entirely to the one subject. The apple turnovers naturally came in for some discussion, particularly the crust, which was wonderfully tender and flaky, and so did Dorothy's newest literary effort, a story in a magazine called "Everywoman's." Locale of the exciting little tale is Mt. Shasta in northern Cali fornia. As a newcomer to the magazine's columns, Dorothy rated sice in the section called "Memo" and was congratulating herself that she worked a "plug" for Ashland's Shakespearean festival into the copy. Since "Everywoman's" has a circulation of some two million copies, this little trick should please the festival board. It wasn't really hard, though, for all Dorothy had to do was men tion that she was one of the festival's leading ladies a few years ago. Another one of the endless surveys forever being made in this country shows that food shoppers are buying more food per per son than ever before, with a lot of this money going for precooked and other time-saving foods. Although Americans are spending more for food according to Mrs. Elvera Horrell, Oregon State college .economist, a smaller percentage of it is going to the farmer. In 1954, farmers got $18.8 billion but this went down a half billion in 1955. As 1955 ended the nation's farmers were receiving less than 40 cents out of each dollar spent by consumers. Five years earlier they were getting 48 cents. Labor is said to be the largest single cost in the marketing bill. Wages for employees of fdbd manufacturing firms averaged $1.77 an hour last October, compared with $1.67 an hour a year earlier. A Jacksonville housewife has solved the problem of how to dry sheets on rainy days. After taking them from the spin-dryer one recent wet day, she spread them on top of the electric blanket, with a dry blanket in between, and presto, in no time at all they' Were completely dried. Two members of the Chamber of Commerce greeters' com mittee have given up smoking. Not their idea, either. Wives of the two men got together and dreamed up the whole idea laying wagers on their respective spouses. Now they are making sure that neither man takes up the weed again until the appointed non-smoking time has elapsed. O.S. To plan a well-balanced meal, avoid one-color combinations. Serve at least one green veget able. Colorful food has strong appetite appeal and a variety in food color helps assure a better selection of nutrients. Limestone is the most widely used of all rocks because of the great variety and importance of its industrial use, and also because of its widespread occurrence.

Regional Conditions Affect Women's Styles Coordinator Declares Chicago (U.R) Regional preference affect feminine styles as much as the dictates of a Dior. So reports Rita Perna, who travels throughout the nation as fashion coordinator for a leading mail order firm. ' Miss Perna said for instance that eastern women fill their wardrobes with such conserva tive colors as charcoal gray; but most western women prefer brighter clothes. Miss Perna found that Ber muda shorts, which many wom en in the East would not be with out, still have not supplanted pedal pushers in popularity with westerners. Miss Perna said it is difficult to sell any kind of coat except a topper in sections where winters are not severe and that fashion's chic clutch coats have been all but ignored in windy areas. March meeting of Medford Extension unit will be held in the Community building on Priddy street at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, March 15.
