r1- SIX MZDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, May 8, 1951 IPoitpomiiriri Some weeks when its comes column writing time Potpourri sit and stares at the typewriter keys, at the wall, thumbs through a couple of magazines, watches TV off and on and finally, after tearing up four or five sheets of papers, we decide what to write and begin. But this week there's so much to write about its just case of what to write first. There's a trip down into California when we took almost a whole day just to do nothing but look at glor ious Mt. Shasta, the blue lupine and yellow poppies along the roadside, and listen to the blackbirds and meadowlarks sing. There's interesting bits about Presidential Candidate Adlai Stevenson to mull over, or we could write about that baffling man, Dr. Stanley Jaks, who talked at the country club and who in some unknown fashion made people state facts which he selected in advance and which he noted down days before he had ever met them. These were dates and names, it should be mentioned. Or best of all, we can write about the farm, and the new colt. In all the years we've lived on our five acres the farm has never had a baby colt. Many litters of kittens and puppies have started their animal careers on the farm and once, a long time ago, we even had bantam chicks, but never before a colt. So there was great excitement Wednesday morning luckily a day when we didn't have to go to work, when it was discovered that the colt had been born. The owner, his family and friends came from town, the neighbors were told the good news, and even the rest of the horses and Tippy the terrier shared the excitement. It was the first time we had ever been so close to so small a colt and we were filled with wonder at the long, knobby legsr the funny little face with a white streak down the middle and the tiny tail. And even more wonderful was the way the colt was on his feet in no time at all and how, in 12 short hours, he was run ning after his mother with queer little spraddly steps. We've seen scores of pictures of Adlai Stevenson and never for a moment doubted that we knew exactly what he looked like in real life. He was, we were sure, quite tall, and thin, with an esthet ic, judicial face and rather stern eyes. And what did we see Tues day? A man shorter than we thought he was, heavier than his pic tures appear, with kinder eyes and almost a homey manner which went well with his rumpled suit. We were somewhat disappoint ed that he didn't drop any pearls of political wisdom in his lunch eon talk, but speaking tours being what they are, we wonder that candidates even survive. Potpourri frankly deserted Mrs. Moore Hamilton during lunch eon and went to sit by Ken Hecher, Mr. Stevenson's research ex pert. Mr. Hecher, who served in the same capacity for Mr. Truman in years past, said he enjoyed working with Candidate Stevenson even though the latter keeps him very busy. Mr. Stevenson, said Mr. H. ruefully, has a perfect passion for facts. And unless he has definite facts which fc tan use without reasonable fear of contra diction, he just doesn't discuss that subject. So he .keeps the noses of his research experts to the grindstone, eternally digging out facts and figures for his speeches. Mr. Hecher also told how Mr. Stevenson has an insatiable cur iosity about all manner of things, how he wants to know every thing about the places he visits, and how he incessantly reads all manner of publications, snatching time while traveling or resting to devour reading matter of all 'types. The researcher also insisted that Mr. Stevenson really likes to campaign, that he likes people and said he was genuinely puzzled that he was labeled "high brow" and unapproachable during the last campaign. When we ventured to repeat what we had heard, that Mr. Stevenson was now losing some of his former followers by being too "folksy" and too given to telling anecdotes instead of talking issues, Mr. Hecher sighed and said a California voter a woman had been quite right when she wrote that when voters said they liked Mr. Stevenson they gave as their reason the fact that he was an intellectual, a man who can really think, and that when people expressed a dislike for him it was for the same rea son that he is an intellectual. H. R. Prentice and his wife, Eve, were bothered by a housing problem last week. After 20 years, the Prentices sold their accord ion studio and their home. The two of them own an apartment house, a court and various assorted other dwellings but didn't have any place to live. All of them are rented. . Add SP Hearing Mrs. Carl Wimberly Jr., ardent and hard working Republican, asked her young daughter if she would like to attend the railroad hearing with her explained that it was being held because a lot of people wanted the SP to run the passenger train again. Daughter pondered, then asked, "But mama, why did the Democrats stop the trains?"
