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?" O.S.

Social Security
Kit Published
For Women's Use
Washington, D.C. A color
fully presented, comprehensive
kit about social security has just
been published by the American

throughout the United States, it

women understand what ' social
security is, what it costs, and
what it means to them and their
families.
Titled "AAUW Looks at So
cial Security," it is the third of
a series the AAUW has -offered
on women and their finances.
The other two kits are "Money
Management Portfolio" and "Fi
nance Folder." The series origin
ated in answer to the need for . a
broad study program through
which women might find guides
for effectively handling their fi
nancial responsibilities, accord
ing to Mrs. Fariss.
Basic information is provided
in the new kit for answering
major questions about social se
curity and for evaluating any
legislative changes that may he
proposed according to Dr. Ellen
Winston, of the North Carolina
State Board of Public Welware,
a member of the AAUW Status
of Women Committee who has

is important," says Dr. Winston,
"to understand what it is, why
we have it, and what it means in
terms of economic security, for
each of us and for our families-."
The kit was compiled by Dr.
Elizabeth Gilmore Holt, Wash
