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
