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."

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.
