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.

Mrs. Cecelia Nolan, radio and television's "Queen For A Day,"
was a visitor io Ashland and the Rogu. valley for four days this
week. 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.
From the Royal Bank of Canada News Letter: "Too many
of us have thousand-dollar kitchens and ten-dollar libraries."

Wedding Cost Studied
By University Co-eds
Cincinnati U.R The father of
the bride might as well face it
that summer wedding for his
daughter will make a healthy
dent in his bank balance, even
if she has a "small" wedding.
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.

Round Play Pens
Feature of Show
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) More than
four million babies born in this
country in the next year will
grow up in a wonderful world
of round play pens, automatic
swings and installment-plan doll
houses.
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.
