Mrs. Otto Nagel. society pres
ident, lectured on potpourri. She ;
told of its origin, history and 1
use in medieval times and then
told of its value in modern times. !
Explaining that potpourri is a j
French word which translated J
literally means "rotten pot" she ;
told of two methods, the dry and
the moist. j
As potpourri must age or ripen !
before the aroma develops, Mrs.
Nagel had prepared jars of var
ious herbs, rose petals and fra
grant flower mixtures to show
the members. She demonstrated
a spicy rose potpourri using one
quart of dried rose petals, a
tablespoon of the fixative, gum
benzoin, and a tablespoon salt.
Using a mortar and pestle, Mrs.
Nagel combined the seeds from
two cardamon pods, one-half
teaspoon whole cloves and one
half teaspoon cinnamon and add
ed this to the rose petals. A few
strips of dried orange peel and
five drops of oil of peppermint
were added and all were then
packed into a wide-mouth apoth
ecary's jar.
The product takes about two
months, to develop the full fra
grance, ihe stated.
Three gallons of dried rose
petals vv-re given to members by
Mrs. Nagel so that they might
experiment with various recipes.
The society welcomed Mrs.
Walter McLean of Gold Hill as
a new member and presented her
a pot of knnttcd-marjoram for
her herb garden.
The librarian reported that
three new books, "Back to Eden"
by Jethro Kloss: "The Home
Gardening Book of Herbs and
Spices" by Milo Miloradovich
and a bound volume of the first
herb-grower magazines had been
added to tiie society's hbrary.
As a parting gift the hostess
presented tiny pots of herbs from
her greenhouse to each member.

Solo Performance
Staged for Queen
Lee-on-Solent. England vU.R-
A Royal Navy drum staged
an off-beat rock-and-roll solo
performance for Queen Eliza
beth Monday.
The Queen visited the Fleet
Air Arm base here to present
her colors to the unit. Row upon
row of sailors and Wrens
women members of the Navy
stood stiffly at attention.
The breeze was stiff, too. It
set a big bass drum rocking like
a big wheel. Finally, it began
rolling across the parade ground,
pushed by the wind.
A petty officer broke ranks
and raced after the instrument,
but the drum outdistanced him
and rolled into the middle of a
column of Wrens, where two
girls stopped it with their hands.
Embarrassed officers figeted
uneasily. Sailors standing at at
tention fought back grins.
But the Queen laughed.
