Mrs. Leopold said acrilan blan kets are quick-drying, moth proof, shrink-resistant, and re tain the nap through repeated washings.

For hours Mrs. Roosevelt posed for pic tures and greeted hundreds of people, she gave an interesting and vigorous address, answered many questions unhesitatingly, at tended an after-dinner party and then ended the long day over a piece of cake and a cup of coffee with her hosts and a couple of hard-working committeewomen. Mrs. Roosevelt is both friendly and cooperative two qual ities which mean a great deal to newspaper folk. All the time it was "stand here, Mrs. Roosevelt; please look this way, Mrs. Roose velt; sit here, Mrs. Roosevelt; just one more picture, Mrs. Roose velt; we must hurry, Mrs. Roosevelt." But never once did she fail to cooperate and never once did she lose the warm smile. Mrs. Roosevelt's admirers showered her with a variety of gifts both in advance of her arrival and while she was here. Some of the gifts were frozen huckleberries, provided by Mrs. Frank Smith, a glass of quince jelly from Mrs. Mike Walsh and an orange chiffon cake and flowers from Mrs. J. R. Compagnoni. Mrs. Fred Hillis' gift was a portrait of the late President Roosevelt, which Mrs. Hillis had painted. Since Mrs. Roosevelt could not carry the portrait with her, it is to be shipped to the Roosevelt Memorial library at Hyde park. Flowers were a favorite gift for Mrs. Roosevelt. In addition to the big bouquet which Mayor and Mrs. Earl Miller presented to' her, Hoppe's greenhouse sent orchids for both Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Nan Wood Honeyman, the former Oregon legislator and congresswoman who came to Medford from Portland in order to see her long-time friend. As it turned out, the orchids played a double role. J Mrs. Roosevelt wore her large lavender blossom, and Mrs. Honeyman the small brown ones, for the memorial dinner at Hed rick Junior High school. Later the fwo presented them to Mrs. W. G. Werner and Mrs. George Watson in appreciation for the work the two Medford women did on the dinner. Mrs. Werner and Mrs. Watson, whose duties kept them in the kitchen most of the day and half of the night, were unable to take part in any of the fest ivities in the dining room. After urging, the two faithful workers called at the Kelly home when everything was "wrapped up" at Hedrick High school and joined Mrs. Roosevelt and her hostess over a cup of coffee and Mrs. Compagnoni's chiffon cake. When Mrs. Roosevelt learned from Mrs. Kelly how it seems that Mrs. Werner and Mrs. Watson are always the two to do the kitchen work, Mrs. Roosevelt gave her orchid to Mrs. Werner, and Mrs. Honeyman followed suit with her corsage for Mrs. Watson. Another bouquet of flowers came from Mrs. Mike Petroff of Klamath Falls and the small spray of pink camellias which Mrs. Roosevelt wore Tuesday morning was the gift of Mrs. Georgia Davis. Mrs. Davis sent a box of "Pearfection" to the Kelly home for the visitor, with the camellias fastened to the wrapping. So Mrs. Roosevelt pinned them on. At times being a reporter has advantages. Tuesday morning it meant that we were privileged to talk to Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Honeyman while they lingered over the coffee cups, and even to eat two of Mrs. T. E. Knackstedt's wonderful cinammon rolls. If anyone needed proof that Eleanor Roosevelt is genuinely friendly and kind, it would have been provided by the sight of her comfortably eating breakfast in the Kelly kitchen. She chatted easily, and when we told how much everyone had enjoyed meeting her son, James Roosevelt, at a previous Roosevelt dinner, she listened with interest. Learning of the former Marines who had held a reunion with her son, Mrs. Roosevelt began to talk of his Marine career, how he had served under General Carlson in the general's Raiders, and how she had visited the training camp dur ing World War II. The little after-dinner party which Mrs. Roosevelt attended at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Moore Hamilton, was a surprise to Mr. H. It was one of those times when wife insists she told husband and husband insists equally emphatically that she didn't. Any how, Mr. Hamilton, busily hosting for four or five men friends, answered a knock at the front door and was surprised out of his boots to find Mrs. Roosevelt and Mary Kelly standing there. Mrs. Hamilton was still clearing tables up at Hedrick school, and laughed heartily when Chet Langslett, Klamath Falls post master, rushed up to her and said excitedly, "You'd better hurry home! Eleanor Roosevelt is at your house and Moore isn't even wearing his tie!" There was more special food waiting at the C. Rease Braley home next morning when Mrs. Roosevelt attended a United Na tions' reception, but time flew and the guest of honor was forced to hurry away without sampling any. She should have waited to hear Mrs. B.'s wail of anguish when, after half the guests had left, Husband Rease came out of the kitchen with trays of melon balls and pineapple bits which she had forgotten to serve earlier. "I always forget part of the food," said Mrs. Braley with a moan. Mrs. Roosevelt said one thing during the morning which will encourage Mrs. H. P. Bosworth to keep on with her project to aid the American Indian. Mrs. Roosevelt declared the American In- Our Reputation As Pharmacists Is Our Proudest Asset! Filling prescriptions Is a fine art.

Medford Pharmacy, Inc. We Are Open Today 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. PHONE 2-6253 127 EAST SIXTH A great many compliment ary adjectives have been used in writing about Mrs. Frank lin D. Roosevelt, and now Potpourri will add some. Aft er "covering" Mrs. Roosevelt during her brief stay in Med ford Monday night and Tues day morning, we decided that "amazing" fits her better than any other word. Of course, we agree with the words of the song written by Mrs. Edward Kelly and Ray Lewis for the Roosevelt Memorial dinner at which Mrs. Roosevelt spoke. The song writers referred to her as a "great lady," and this is true, but amazing she is, without doubt. The Who's Who, if we're not mistaken, gives her age as 71. She arrived in Medford after attending a family wed ding in Fort Worth, Tex., and Applegate Unit Changes Session; Announces Topic Upper Applegate A change in meeting date for Upper Ap plegate Home Extension unit has been made bectuse of the annual Homemakers festival at Central Point Grange hall May 2, the same date as the cheduled meeting. Instead the group will meet Friday, May 4 from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Sawyer home on Upper Applegate above McKee bridge. Officers will be installed. Meetings are open to anyone in the vicinity interested. Those who attend should take table service, and trays are usable. The project for the next meet ing will be on "Gourmet Fin ishes," and the leaders will be Mrs. Gail Buffington and Mrs. Charles Williams. The luncheon committee will be made up of Mrs. George Mitchell, Mrs. Wil liam Greene, Mrs. Loren Cooper, Mrs. Bill Ziegler, Mrs. Rex Da- dian has been shamefully treated, and that this country should establish a Point Four program right here at home to help these native Americans. Mrs. Roosevelt brought pleasure to many by her visit to Jack son county, and among these were the members of Brownie Troop 190, a Central Point troop led by Mrs. L. C. Johnson. The little girls went to the airport Tuesday morning and were thrilled to pieces when the distinguished visitor shook each by the hand and thanked each personally for a gift of flowers. Potpourri mostly has a jaundiced viewpoint of political gath erings but we're willing to admit that the one last Monday night which the Democrats held was different. Maybe it was the presence of that truly wonderful American woman, Mrs. Roosevelt, or may be it was the fine singing of the boys and girls in Ray Lewis' Mc Loughlin chorus. But anyhow, it was one of those times when music and voices raised "goose bumps" on our arms and we were glad, deep down inside, to be an American. O.S.
