Green Stamps With Every Purchase Burks FOR ALL YOUR LUGGAGE NEEDS Luggage Covers Luggage Repairing Potpourri "Day in and day out, the greatest force in safety education in North America is undoubtedly the daily newspaper." After this statement how could Potpourri fail to carry out the request of L. S. Harris, executive director of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators? Mr. Harris wants all the newspapers of America to help in a highway safety campaign during the vacation season this summer. All accidents result from someone's carelessness or negligence, ac cording to the Motor Vehicle administrators, and they believe the problem is an individual one. A third of our highway deaths occur in non-collision accidents, where the car has simply gone off the road or overturned, they say. "Slow Down and Live" is the slogan adopted for the campaign, but AAMVA also says that many Americans bring about their own depths by trying to drive too far and too long bringing on drow siness and that trance-like state known as "highway hypnosis." So, here are the rules which AAMVA sets forth for staying alert at the wheel this summer. The first is not to drive at all when truly tired to not start after a day's work or play, particularly because the hours of darkness are the most dangerous. The other three rules apply to drowsiness and highway hypnosis and are "Drive with the windows open and get plenty of fresh air; talk to other people in the car, or if alone, listen to the radio; make a safety stop ever:' ICO miles or so walk around, have a cup of coffee, but do not drink anything alcoholic. Remember these rules and save lives." Being one of those women to whom a dress pattern is a puzzle which usually resulted in two right sides for a pair of pajamas, we've always envied the clever gals who can sew. Last Sunday when one of the guests at the Baker-White wedding told us tha the bride's mother, Mrs. Juanita White, had made all the gowrs worn by the girls in the wedding party, we were incredulous. This meant cutting out and putting together an elaborate wedding dress, four frothy frocks for bridesmaids and two dresses for the "flower girls. Her efforts resulted in a very pretty wedding picture, and all the feminine guests were exclaiming over how sweet the bride looked in her white bridal gown with its yards of ruffles and floating veil. Janet Johnson, who was married to William Curtis McLeod of Cr.os Bay June 23, both designed and made her white organdy wedding dress. Janet, home economics major at OSC, made the nown as a class assignment. The newlyweds plan to return to col lege next fall where both will be seniors. "Better hurry and make this trek (to Oregon and northern California) before the logging trucks entirely ruin your trip. There are thousands upon thousands of them, and the poor sightseeing motorist has a heck of time looking at the beauties of the redwoods and flora without being run off the highway." So wrote Cholly Angeleno, columnist for the Los Angeles Ex aminer after a recent trip north. "Cholly," who is Lynn Spencer, and his wife Mary spent several days at the Circle G ranch on the Little Applegate river near Medford as guests of Mr. and Mrs. A.rmin Richter. The two women were schoolmates. Columnist Spencer, who writeSjabout the great, the near-great and interesting personalities wherever he finds them, was practi cally rapturous about the scenery of northern California and Ore gon, but emphasized his gripe about the logging trucks with italics. "In Oregon we were guests of Armin and Ruth Richter, former Angelenos and La Jollans, at their beautiful 560-acre Circle G Ranch where they raise Black Angus cattle," he wrote. "The Little Applegate river runs through heir lush ranch. "On several occasions the two young sons of ranch manager Don Getling, Brad, 13, and Burton, 8, took me trout fishing. They always had wonderful luck, but save for a few nibbles, the fish completely ignored me. "Little wonder that I gained pounds during our stay at Circle G ranch. We had to dilute the cream, and they make their own butter. "Upon leaving Circle G we headed for Grants Pass and the famed Redwoods highway. Had to bypass the ranches of the Ogo.en Kelloggs (he's the son of Bill and Alice Kellogg of La Jolla) and Clayton and Virginia Calloway, all former La Jollans, now living in Oregon and loving it." Later Columnist Spencer wrote about odd names encountered on his trip and listed the "Here I Is Cafe" which he located on the Rogue. Never having heard of the restaurant, we checked with Mr. Richter, who says it's in Central Point. He also mentioned a ride into the high, timbered mountains surrounding the Circle G dur ing which they climbed to a fire lookout post, and (like Potpourri after a trip up into that country) mentioned the profusion of gor geous wildflowers. He recommended that tourists eat at Mon Desir (spelling it wrong in the bargain, but maybe that was the proofreader's fault) and later wrote "One of the most beautiful country clubs we saw was the Rogue Valley club on the outskirts of Medford. Its golf course, said to be one of the best in the country, has a magnificent view of a snow-capped range of mountains. "In Medford itself is a very exclusive town club, the Colony club. New members are taken in only when death occurs in the regular ranks. This group's biggest social event of the year is the annual New Year's night dinner dance, to which each member may invite a couple. But all guests must first be carefully screened." "Cholly" also found it of interest that theft's no sales tax in Oregon and that "in Medford the water is so pure they don't bother with distilled water for auto batteries and steam irons they mere ly turn on the faucet." Now and then we find out that something we thought was true, isn't. Potpourri had always believed that more American women were employed outside the home than those of any other country. Last week the results of a survey came to our desk which shows that fewer American women are in the labor market than almost any other country of the western world. More women of England and France, for instance, work away from the home than in America. Only the Scandinavian nations show a lower propor tion of employed women. Another survey, this one by the research division of National Education association, brought to light the fact that teachers from all over the U. S. think that children don't misbehave as badly as indicated by the press, movies and radio. When asked ' is the situation in your community as a whole as bad as has been portrayed throughout the country by press, movies and radio," classroom teachers replied: Not nearly so bad, 64.3 per cent; not cjuite so bad, 27.6; as bad but no worse, 6.9; a little worse, 1 per cent; a lot worse, .2 per cent. We learned something else last week, too, this coming from the young married, just drafted into the Army. The Army inducted this particular group of men at Ft. Lewis, flew them by commercial airline to Ft. Ord and according to the last letter, is returning them soon to Ft. Lewis, right back where they started. We'll be inter ested to learn if they return north by commercial airline. O.S I Oil at ,ne WW" Women's ClMinI VV 1 IVfl CLASSES Y.M.G.A.
