studies show most families do
much of their eating in the kitch

feel dining rooms are necessary
if thev are to teach their children
good table manners and how to
entertain guests.
Mrs. Thorpe based her findings
on interviews with 50 farm and
50 town families, with each
family submitting time records
on the use of every room in the
house in a 24-hour period.

the long plane trip to Oregon
and entered into a whirl of activities that would have "laid low"
many a younger person. 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-

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

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.
