onrri Potpourri had dinner with four travel editors Friday night ifid couldn't decide afterwards whether we envied them, or felt sorry for them. When Polly Noyes of the San Francisco Chronicle said she travels about four months out of the 12, we thought, "how wonderful." But when we heard about how they hurry from place to place forever seeing sights and tourist attractions and being wined and dined, whether they feel up to it or not, we decided maybe H wasn't so cozy after all. Miss Noyes, who has been practically everywhere, said she once spent some time in Stratford-upon-Avon in England but that her schedule didn't permit her to see any Shakespearean plays. Miss N. said she pored over the Bard's works, but couldn't find any mention of the Avon anywhere and wonders why, if Shakes peare lived there, he didn't ever refer to the river. We must ask Dr. Margery Bailey or B. Iden Payne about this. The friendly and fascinating Miss Noyes wore a black dress with an interesting black, bulky sweater trimmed with gold em broidery and a score or so of dangling simulated gold coins. Miss Noyes, who must have eaten the best food which is offered in the big cities of the world, ordered a plate of dill pickles to eat with her martinis, and passed up the steaks, chicken, pork chops and lamb on the menu in favor of a hamburger. Roy Dunlap, travel editor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press-Dispatch, ordered lamb chops and declared they were good. Lamb chops, said Mr. D., should be burned a little and his were charred just right. Mr. Dunlap said his idea of an ideal vacation was to camp out, and that he, his wife and five children had just return ed from camping in Canada. ; Later the group, which also included Herb Beck of the Chicago American and Jerry Lloyd of the Los Angeles Examiner, at tended the Shakespearean play in Ashland. Mr. Dunlap recalled that he once saw a play in an unheated theater in Dublin and that the audience was bundled up in heavy coats and blankets just like the festival patrons do in Ashland. He added that it was extremely amusing to see two actors doing a passionate love scene with the vapor curling up from their faces every time they op ened their lips. Backstage after the play the travel editors met some of the , actors, and Mr. Dunlap chatted with, Don Gunderson, who grew up in Minnesota. They told how a section of that state has been kept in a primitive condition for those who love the outdoors and ; that, believe it or not, no empty beer bottles or cigarette stubs : clutter up trails and camp sites. The only way into these areas is ' by canoe or horseback. The visiting editors seemed unconvinced that Shakespeare should be played without intermission and Jerry Lloyd of the Examiner told how he had appeared in Shakespearean plays given by college actors in southern California for high school students. ; Potpourri abandoned Shakespeare temporarily Wednesday night in favor of a movie. The whole family attended the opening performance here of "The Proud Ones," filmed from a novel written by Verne Athanas of Ashland. The movie is good, as westerns go, but according to the head of the household and the young married, the book is much better than the movie. Seems Mr. Athanas turns out punchy prose with some tough scenes which the movie censors toned down a bit, as usual. The author was on hand at the drive-in to autograph copies. We hope he makes a good profit on the first edition cloth-bound books and the movie rights, for Mr. A. says he only makes a ' cent on each of the paper-bound copies. The Ashland man has written many successful short stories, and his third novel is to be published soon. Seth (Saturday) Bullis brought along a postcard from Mrs. I ti "J1- "??'?

Her prize for winning her crown in Hollywood was four days at the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, with side trips io Crater Lake and other points of interest. Her Mrs. Nolan, whose home is in Los Angeles, is met on arrival at the Medford airport by Miss Rosalyn Newport, the festival's "Juliet," and Mayor Rich ard Neill of Ashland. Mildred Warenskjold, mother of the famous soprano, when he came in yesterday for his weekly visit to the newsroom.. Mrs. Warenskjold wrote that she and her daughter, Dorothy, had ar rived in Paris after "five wonderful days in London" and had bought a car in which they planped to tour the continent. Mr. B. also loaned us a copy of "Musical America'1 in which an interview with the soprano was published. Miss Warenskjold was quoted as saying that she would not sing with the San Francisco opera this fall, which will make her many west coast fans un happy. Miss W., who has given two civic music concerts in Med ford, charms people both with her gorgeous voice and her happy, friendly personality.

A group of co-eds at the Uni versity of Cincinnati has just completed a study of costs of weddings on the grand, the aver age, and the small scale. Their conclusions: about the only way to save money is to elope. The girls, students in a home management course taught by Mrs. Margaret Jane Suydam, found that a "small" church wedding and reception at home will cost the bride s family $188 and the bridegroom's $50. This includes the immediate families as guests, one attendant each for the bridal couple. And very few frills. And On Up An average" wedding, the co eds figure, will cost the bride's family $761, the bridegroom's $183, for a church reception, 150 guests, and three attendants each. The "deluxe" class permits most of the frills. A reception at a country club, 300 guests, five attendants each, and a flower, girl are included in costs to the bride's family of $3,002 and the bridegroom's of $507. The students set up what they considered desirable typical wed dings in three categories and shopped to determine average costs for each. The marriage license was the only constant on the price lists for small, average, and deluxe weddings. Each category covered the bride's family invitations, an nouncements, informals; clothes for the bride, mother, and fath er; bridegroom's ring; gift and corsages for bridesmaids; church expenses or organist, soloist, sex ton; reception refreshments and flowers, and photographs. Ways To Save - Costs for the bridegroom's family covered clothes for him, his mother and father; the bride's ring, gifts for attendants, flowers for the bride and both mothers and grandmothers, bou tonnieres for the men; marriage license, and gift to the clergy. Ways to save were recorded by the co-eds. Evening weddings are more formal and usually more expensive than afternoon weddings. Summer dresses for bride and attendants cost less and garden flowers can often be used to save florist bills. Baller ina-length gowns are less expen sive than full-length gowns. The girls did indicate, however, they could save by buying cheap shoes if they wore long gowns because "shoes wouldn't show." In even the deluxe wedding, the Cincinnati students sug gested male members of the wee ding save money by renting their splendor, including formal tie and cummerbund, studs and cuff-links. Mothers and bridesmaids were advised they might find a larger selection of less expensive cloth ing by shopping in other depart ments than stores' bridal shops. A caterer told the students most people order more wed ding cake than is needed. Small er cakes may mean fewer happy dreams, but more money in father's pocket. Cost of weddings is a subject dear to ' the Cincinnati Univer sity cb-eds' heart and purse. Six of the class are brides, 16 en gaged, and most of the other 13 go steady, "off and on. Department Advises Frying Pan Method For Cooking Vegetables Washington (U.PJ The U.S. Department of Agriculture rec ommends the frying pan meth od of cooking summer vegeta bles to save you time, and their color, flavor and nutritive value. The method: Heat 1 table spoon of butter, margarine, meat drippings or oil in a heavy fry ing pan. Add the vegetable and cover tightly to hold in the steam. Cook over low heat until the vegetable is just tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Season with salt and pepper just before serving. No water it needed. Most fresh vegetables have enough water content to prevent scorching. To serve four, you'll need about 1 pound of cabbage, kale or okra. If spinach IK to 1 pounds. Snap beans, about H of a pound. The department recommend ed that cabbage be shredded be fore cooking the fry pan method. Kale, strip the leaves from the coarse mid-ribs. Spinach . . . trim off the roots and' heavy stems. Okra . . . slice crosswise. Snap-beans . . . slice lengthwise.

These are just a few of dozens of new ideas which showed up here this week for bettering a baby's future. Most of the prod ucts went on display at the gigantic Baby and Children s Show which filled two floors of Njew York's Coliseum. There is a high chair which converts to a telephone stand, thereby filling a need in a child's life right from babyhood through teenage telephone. The automatic swing can be used indoors or out. Mother sim ply winds it up and goes about her own chores while baby swings merrily back and forth. Round play pens with rope mesh sides are one manufac turer's replacement for the fa miliar square playpens. To move it from room to room, simply tip a round play pen on its side and roll it. Then there's a new doll with a built in record player. The 30-inch high doll seems to sing, recite poems and pray. Several different records come with the wardrobe, so a little girl can change her doll's' tune while she's changing her diapers. Installment plan buying of doll houses and furniture was suggested this week by the Toy Manufacturers of the U.S.A., Inc. A child is never too young to learn about time payments, according to the new theory. Doll houses will be sold room by room. A.child, so the theory goes, will learn habits of saving by putting away candy money to add another room to her house. - 1 STRAWS NOW TASTY New York (U.R) New in the beverage department: straws with flavor built in.
