College Girl filakes Decision Dear Marge: You're right! I'm home for Spring vacation for the last time as after all, I'm a Senior this year, plus the fact I will be mar ried during the summer. I have clone very little toward prepar ing for my wedding as yet however, one decision I wanted to make while home with Moth er, was my Wedding Photogra pher. Honestly! If I couldn't have Brainerd's take my wed ding pictures I would be fran- They took my sister's five years ago and they were so beautiful and of course all of by friends go to Brainerd's. You should see their new, modern Studio & Camera Shop. Their Portrait room is the "first word" ... I intend to have a Brainerd Pre-Wedding Portrait, the love ly poses Mr. Brainerd takes of brides is something! I would say, even the city photographers can't compare. They do the formals and candids at the church and reception and the terrific coverage with a beautv of an album tossed in for so lit tle cost, it amazes everyone. Well, I could go one forever on this subject but I must run help my sister dress up little Betsy in her Easter outfit. I know it isn't Easter, but she is such a doll and we want to re member her in this precious dress with her blond curls so we are taking her to Brainerd's for an Easter Portrait. While I'm there I will get a roll of movie film and some color film for Dad's camera so we can have full coverage of the family go ing to church April 1st and the Easter Egg hunt afterward in the back yard. That Is the beauty of going to Brainerd's they have the most well stocked and popular Camera Shop in town and they are so helpful with their expert advice so you might say we are like the rest of Medford's population, we just make Brainard's Our Photo graphic Headquarters! We'll see you at school alumni meeting in May, bye til' then, Sue. pd. adv. Jrtpao We've decided that .ravelers who drive cars in foreign lands should be cited for bravery. Potpourri, who never drives further than 40 miles from home unless someone else is at the wheel, didn't give much thought to tiie troubles of driving in a foreign land un til we interviewed two charming women from Belgium Thursday. The two women, Mrs. Paul van Schoonbeek and Mrs. Edmond Poullet, who were en route from Washington to southern Califor nia by car, are enjoying their trip very much except for the dif ference in road signs and road maps. The two travelers, wives of Belgian naval officers, were in Medford last week as guests of Mrs. L. L. Sanders. Mrs. van Schoonbeek, who said she is the driver while her com-, panion is the "navigator," explained that in Europe there aren't any road signs except those giving necessary information on roads and travel. The visitor, who speaks perfect English, remarked "I see a sign and I slow down and start to read thinking it is something impor tant and about the time I've almost stopped I find out it says "Smoke Camels" or "Drink Coca-Cola1" The two travelers also found that American road maps are not nearly so efficient or useful as the famous Michelin road maps put out by a French firm. The latter are much more detailed about turn-offs, crossings, bridges, etc., and even indicate the steepness of the grades on hills and mountains and show where to watch for particularly beautiful bits of scenery. Monday's meeting of Jackson County Republican Women proved doubly interesting beceuse we've known the speaker Phil Hitchcock since school days. Mr. H. hadn't talked very long before we decided that he was "our kind" of a speaker; calm and reason able sounding, but authoritative none-the-less. He seemed very much in earnest, and so did the Rev. George R. V. Bolster when he introduced Mr. Hitchcock as a man of "unquestioned integrity, un swerving loyalty and highest moral character." Candidate Hitchcock's information agent was an entertaining table companion, too. Frank Herbert, a former night editor for the Oregon Statesman in Salem, is now free-lancing and is the author of a current novel "The Dragon in the Sea." Both Mr. Herbert and his wife write, and spend part cf every year at a home in Mexico plugging away at their typewriters. Come to think of it, Mr. Herbert sounded earnest, too. Said he was so convinced that Phil Hitchcock would make a good senator he deserted his family, fireside and typewriter and came up from Mexico to offer his services in Phil's campaign. Before the Republican women settled down to listen to Candi date Hitchcock they took time out to praise a member, Mrs. Frank Bash, chairman of the party in Jackson county. At the time Mrs. Bash, up at the speakers table, hardly batted an eye-lash but when the guests had gone and the club members began their business meeting, Mrs. B. had a few words. Mrs. Bash thanked her fellow club members and said she hadn't responded at the time "because I was slightly abashed." A former club president, Mrs. Stephen Nye, found this too good to pass up. "An abashed Bash!" was her rejoinder. Mrs. B. is also a candidate she wants to go to the Republican convention this summer, so her friends are dreaming up ways to get her elected. Last week a couple of them had fun drafting for mal letters to Candidate Kathleen's brother, A. L. Hawn. and her mother, Mrs. Agnes Nsss, Eugene, asking them for a contribution to Mrs. B.'s campaign. Potpourri's mail last week brought a note from Mrs. C. Elwood Hedberg with a clipping from Time magazine. The clipping report ed on the remarks of Sir Basil Henrique, referred to as one of Brit ain's top authorities on juvenile delinquency and longtime chair man of the East London Juvenile court. Sir Basil, who said he sat in courts all over this country, finds the cases here more serious than the ones in his own court. He be lieves that all juvenile cases should be referred to courts., says so cial workers need "an understanding! heart" as well as degrees; that "television is the pernicious poison of America . . . which doesn't give children time to read, or think, or dream"; that "we are not teaching 'I must because I ought' but the most dangerous doctrine of T see, I want, I take.' " The visitor also said he found the "alarming spectacle" of parents terrified of their children and the children running the homes." From Eric Hoffer's book "The True Believer" "Though there are obvious differences between the fanatical Christian, the fanati cal Mohammedan, the fanatical nationalist, the fanatical Commu nist and the. fanatical Nazi, it is yet true that the fanaticism which animates them may be viewed and treated as one. The same is true of the force which drives them on to expansion and world domin ion. There is a certain uniformity in all types of dedication, of faith, of pursuit of power, of unity and of self-sacrifice." We're one of those gardeners always a bit behind in the work, and last Sunday we raked and burned the leaves which fell too late to be raked and burned last fall. Every now and then we'd lean on the rake and look up through the branches of the big wil low tree to enjoy the delicate tracery of the pale green branches against the blue spring sky. We noticed that the little new leaves were beginning to uncurl, little new leaves which would have to be raked and burned next fall. O.S. 2 Wonderful Weeks "RESURRECTION REVIVAL" DR. E. T.
