EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON)
Every spring we get a bunch of new urges. We decide to try
out a lot of new plants and shrubs when we already have more
than we can care for; we resolve to do more walking in the fresh
air and to quit cooking the same food all the time.
This year we're resolved to learn all about mushrooms. It
started when Mrs. Dwight Findley gave us a container of frozen
morels which she and Dr. Findley had gathered some time ago; We
probably shouldn't admit it, but this was the first time we could
bring ourselves to eat anything other than the canned or dried
mushrooms, and were the first we had ever prepared except those
In cans.
The two of us defrosted them as per Mrs. F's instructions and
sauted them gently in butter. They were simply heavenly. Now,
since we obviously can't depend upon the Findleys to do our mush
room hunting, although Mrs. F. says it's one of the doctor's favorite
pastimes, we're going to have to learn what to look for and what
not to eat.
What's more, we never knew until last week that some puff
balls are good to eat. Several times we're seen the large greyish
white ones along the road sides, especially on the Ashland loop
trip, which are roughly the size and shape of a pineapple.
Friday it so happened that Harry Hawk, who lives in Ash
land but until recently had a business in Medford, came in lugging
a simply enormous specimen of the puff balls. He was curious
about the queer growth and was half a mind to take it down to
the high school to one of the science teachers.
But in no time at all Mrs. Max Wimmer had it away from
him. Mrs. Wimmer said they were not only edible, but perfectly
delicious when cooked correctly and she assured Mr. Hawk that
she'd rather have it than a good steak. Mrs. W. says she cooks
them somewhat in the same fashion that most cooks prepare egg
plant.
We declined her offer to sample it when she had it cooked.
It's an odd thing, we had no qualms about eating the mushrooms
picked by Dr. Findley, but doubt if we would eat the puff ball,
even if offered by the doctor.
And let us firmly add that we don't want anyone cooking
and eating a puff ball just because they read in Potpourri that
Mrs. Wimmer likes them! We don't want any casualties.
Jack Ward is pulling up stakes in Medford and moving his
dental laboratory to Anchorage, Alaska, not a whit deterred by
the stories coming out of Alaska recently about grizzly bears kill
ing hunters. Or maybe Mr. Ward doesn't plan on hunting.
Anyhow, a number of Mr. Ward's cronies staged parties for
him last week and he ended up with a weird collection of
presents. At a party given by Hillah Chanters he received a
gold pan, a pick, and a ball of sour dough in a glass jar. This
last quaint idea was perpetrated by Dr. C. G. Van Valzah and
liis assistant, Mrs. Gladys Hughes. Mrs. Hughes went down to the
bakery and begged a handful of dough which she set up on a shelf
to sour.
Good deed department: Potpourri would like to have infor
mation concerning Mr. and Mrs. Rollin Latner.
The Latners wrote a letter to The Mail Tribune saying they
were interested in contributing to the Rogue Valley Memorial
hospital fund, and how did they go about doing this. Unfortun
ately, the Latners failed to give their return address, telephone
number or any clue as to how the information could be sent to
them.
The staff at Memorial hospital headquarters combed the tele
phone book, directories, the .circulation files of The Tribune and
checked with utility firms. No trace of the Latners was found.
So, if anyone knows the Latners, please have them telephone
hospital headquarters, 3-4579.
In spite of the difficulty of working through an interpreter,
Potpourri managed a fairly satisfactory interview with Dr. Luigi
Rebuzzine last Sunday. Dr. Rebuzzine and his interpreter, Leon
Segal, were guests at the party which followed the Philharmonic
concert and we found ourselves at a table with the two visitors, the
Bruno Pellegrinis and Mrs. Harlan Bosworth.
Dr. Rebuzzine, professor at the University of Milan and director
of the Christian Democratic political party for the Milan district
said in brief: That the Russian Communists are not really "soften
ing" in their attitude are more to be feared in their new friendly
attitude than when openly hostile; communism is still a threat in
Italy, and the communists are most adept at dealing with the
Italian people; economic conditions for the working man of Italy
are bad, many are without jobs and many are poorly paid; trade
between the United States and Italy is unfavorable to the Italians;
most contracts let in Italy are with the large firms only; Italians
would like to emigrate to the U.S., many are leaving their home
land for Canada, Australia and South America in search of better
living conditions; he believes such immigrants could be integrated
into the Oregon economy, become workers in mills, or on farms
and orchards.
Italy has schools for re-training of the unemployed, but when
re-trained the workers often cannot find work in the new industry,
he stated. A program of national medical and social insurance is in
force.
The interpreter, a U.S. State Department employee who speaks
eight languages, not only did the translating but found Potpourri
a scrap of paper for notes, our party purse being empty of these
tools of trade. During the supper, in some fashion which no one
could explain, the side of his coat became smeared with white cake
frosting. Mr. Pellegrini insisted upon cleaning the coat with a damp
napkin, explaining volubly in both English and Italian that "it is
an incident of state!"

convention of the League of Women Voters in the United States

leagues throughout the country have expresed foremost interest in
these two topics for study and action over the 1956-58 period. An
equal number of recommendations, 389, were made in both cases
to the national board of the league for inclusion in the national
program in the coming biennium. Runner-up was in the field of
international relations.
These and other subjects will
be debated and the decision will
be by vote of the delegates. The
convention also will elect offi

Approximately 1,200 persons
