EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUN2 Sunday, July 8, 1956 Potpourri Not many Medford students returning home after a year away at school, receive such a welcome as was given Ellen West last Tuesday night. Ellen looked out of the plane window as the ship was circling to land and saw a huge banner which read "Welcome Ellen." Her seat mate saw the banner, too, and inquired, "Who's Ellen?" The banner had been made by a group of friends. Miss West, daughter of the D. Kirkland Wests, attended St. Andrew's university near Edinburgh list year. More than anything else Ellen will remembe how cold she was all winter, living first in a dormitory and later in a flat without central heating. St. An drew's is a very old school, dating back to the 1500's. A political science major, Ellen enrolled in one course termed "moral philosophy" which isn't even taught in U. S. schools. She plans to return to Stamford university this fall for her senior year. ' At the cocktail party which the Leland Clarks gave for Mrs. Clark's family, the Markhams, last Sunday, Potpourri chatted for a time with one of the sons, James. We talked about the Uni versity of Chicago and the controversial former president, Robert Hutchins, now president of The Fund for the Republic. What we should have talked about was cosmetics, for Mr. M. is president of a large wholesale cosmetic firm, Kolmar Inc., of Milwaukee, and according to his sister, makes some really interesting remarks about cosmetics. Herbert Markham, the father, heads the brokerage firm ot Hornblower and Weeks of Chicago and New York and the second son John, is in business with his father. For the party Mrs. Clark wore a frock of beige silk with a spray of small orchids and her attractive mother was gowned in a green and blue print. Mrs. John M., affectionately referred to by her brother-in-law as the "blonde brat," wore a smart beige frock and Mrs. James Markham wore a black sheath with a square neck line of white. For the picture-taking the next day she wore an in teresting green raffia skirt which she said she had bought in Capri during a stay there- last summer. The housework didn't get all done Wednesday because the family spent so much time gazing up into a tree. About mid-morning we discovered some small birds, unfamiliar in size and mark ings, flying about one of the evergreen trees and from then on, the three of us took turns watching them through the field glasses. Smaller even than the Oregon finches, which tried unsuccess fully to drive the newcomers away, the little greyish-brown crea tures had light stripes across the back instead of markings run ning from head to tail, and their beaks were quite long and sharp looking, rather like those of the humming bird. The song was four or five musical notes followed by a trill. The Rev. Thomas McCamant is an authority on birds, so when he came in Thursday with a church notice we attempted to de scribe the birds. But as usual. Potpourri didn't have enough ac curate information and the puzzled pastor couldn't make anything of it. Today Potpourri is going to "advertise" little Judy Carter of Wolf Creek. Judy, 7-year-old daughter of the Robert Carters and a granddaughter of Mrs. J. R. Seiler of Medford, wistfully asked her grandmother during a visit here last week if she had ever been "advertised." A few questions brought out the fact that Judy had been a little envious of her older sister, who last summer was bitten by a snake and consequently was "advertised" in the Port land and Medford papers. Judy didn't want to go so far as to be bitten by a snake, but was hopeful that Grandma Seiler could figure out a way to get her name in the paper, just like her older sister did. So Grandma Seiler put Judy and her family in the social columns and Potpour ri reminds Judy that she didn't have to spend almost a month in bed in order to be "advertised." 4 Today's recommended reading in the women's section (but everyone will find it interesting) is Mrs. I. E. Schuler's letter from Italy. Mrs. Schuler, who has been in Europe for the past several months, describes in fascinating detail what the Italians call a cemetery," writes about the mad traffic situation and how she learned to cross a street in safety. She ends the article by describ ing the reaction of the Italian women to an exhibition of Ameri can products which included a display of frozen foods such as one finds in practically every food market in this country. Mrs. Schuler plans to visit in northern Europe this summer before returning to Portland and Medford. More than 4,000,000 copies of the new Revised Standard Ver sion of the Bible have been sold. Bennett Cerf, writing in his Saturday Review column, Trade Winds, says that this means one RSV Bible sold every 30 seconds a day and night since publication date September 30, 1952. Columnist Cerf devotes an entire page in the Review to the story of the new Bible version, published by Thomas Nelson and Sons. While advance sales of the version were startling, the pub lishing house was quite uprepared for the reaction of the public. According to the columnist, the public clamored for the new Bible in such numbers that by publication day every last copy bound in leather had already been sold and orders totaling another 173,000 poured into the firm in the next 11 days. Ninety scholars worked for 12 years on the revision, and Cerf concludes that they turned out "one of the most rewarding best sellers in all history." O.S. Camp Low Echo Opened by Staff By BETTY BROWN Staff Week for Low Echo, Girl Scout Camp at Lake O' the Woods, had a busy schedule of organization and discussions. Highlighting the discussion was a talk by a professional social worker, Celia Walker, of Med ford. She spoke to the staff of 20 counselors about her own experience in dealing with chil dren. In spite of the serious ques tions asked and answered, one member of Low Echo continues to amaze everyone with his stories. This is Bill Jones, who has worked in the area for 72 years, and is currently the nec essary "job man" around camp. Bill built a huge bonfire the night before the Fourth of July, and the staff toasted themselves and their marshmellows as they watched the spectacular fire works display on the lake. Waterfront Staff Guarding the waterfront this summer are Dee Schleichert and Pani (an Indian name meaning water) Means. They have been supervising placement of a new dock which enlarges and helps to surround the safe swimming area. We are proud to have some very new and wonderful canoes, presented by the Elk Lumber company. The canoes will add to our boating program which has been carried on in previous years with flat-bottomed row boats. With two skillfull cooks in the dining hall, Mrs. Mrytle Ferns and ivlrs. Evelyn Tice of Medford, one expects the food to be good, and it is! The menu on the Fourth of July included fried chicken. In order to have cookouts in the respective units, complete equipment has been distributed. An early morning cookout has already proved this equipment successful and prom ising for future good times. Hiking Planned A special staff member, Dinah Hutchinson, will be in charge of the hiking program for which Low Echo is noted. Archery and crafts are some of the extra ac tivities offered at Low fccno. These will be taught and super vised by specially qualified staff members and so, the "Echoes fromLow Echo" are good, and promise to be stronger and loud er when the campers arrive by busses on Sunday, July 8th. For Fine Linens Washing improves table lin ens. Running them through a washer or tubful of suds, the Gas Appliance Manufacturers as sociation says is no trouble at all if spots have been treated first. Every time you use fine linens, look for food stains im mediately after the meal and soak or sponge them out. Use cool water for egg, ice cream, meat, and fresh fruit stains; warm water for milk, cream sauces, candy, cocoa. After that launder in hot soap or detergent suds and rinses. 1 Wlial else can bring so much joy to the ichole family?
