TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Evans Valley Club
To Plant Shrubs
AtSchool Grounds
Rogue River Evan Valley
Garden Club conducted life
monthly meeting August 22 at
the secluded home of Mrs. Har
ry Winters, located in a natural
setting off Pleasant Creek road. j
Dessert was served.
Mrs. Jerusha Moore and Mrs.
William White of Laurel Gar
den club were guests. Roll call
was answered by each member
naming the house plant that she
would like to include in her col
lection. Discussions were heard
on house plants and an exchange
of rooted cuttings and plants was
held.
The club discussed the contin
uance of the project of beauti
fying the Evans Valley school
grounds. Plans have been drawn
for the planting of shrubs on the
bank immediately in front of
that area already landscaped by
the club and which is being cared
for by the school custodians. In
connection with this beautifying
project, garden club members
are planning to have a table
arfd benches built and to make
into a picnic area that part of
the school grounds located in
the northeast corner of the prop
erty. Because of the limited time
of the school custodians to keep
the planted areas weeded and
watered, certain shrubs and trees
have been recommended and
which will not require too much
attention but will prove decora
tive. Anyone wishing to donate
any money for this project may
do so. A plaque could be placed
r.ear trees or shrubs if given as
memorials, it was suggested. Any
interested party may contact the
president, Mrs. John Goldt of
West Evans Creek road.
The next meeting will be held
September 19 at the home of
Mrs. George M. Crawford at
Bybee Springs, on East Evans
Creek road. Slides will be
shown of the famous Butchart
Gardens of Canada. Mrs. Tom
Muchline will be the narrator.

studio, Thurston School of Danc
ing. Those interested are invited

have had considerable training
and experience in dancing. Both
have done professional ballroom,
adagio and tap dance acts in
theaters and clubs in several
western states and Mexico.
The Thurstons were formerly

promote another appearance of
the San Francisco company this
year. .

Terry K. My friend is spoil
ing my office reputation.
Joan M She's really afraid
I'm stealing her thunder.
Terry K. Joan has been my
best friend for many years. A
few months ago I helped her get
a job in my office and since then
I have been in a lot of trouble.
She is a fast, efficient worker,
but she is very noisy and bois
terous in the office (not outside
of it). She keeps talking to ev
eryone, including me, and dis
tracts us from our work. Every
one comes to me and complains
"Your friend did so and so . . ."
Even the boss associates her with
me and keeps referring to her
as "my friend."
I've told Joan that she's got to
tone down because I've been in
this office for years and I don't
want to be responsible for any
misbehavior on her part. But she
just takes offense and says she'll
get another job. 1 don't want to
push her out of the office I
just want to stop her from spoil
ing my reputation there.
Joan M. I think Terry really
thinks I'm stealing her thunder
in the office. I can't help it if
I'm a fast worker. I'm also very
friendly and not noisy and bois
terous as Terry says. The boss is
well satisfied with me and peo
ple don't really complain about
me. It's just that Terry resents
it every time anyone says "your
friend." I like the office, but I
can get another job if it's going
to break up our friendship.' "

are obviously in each other's
way in this small office. Some
times friends can work together
well, but in this case these two
girls are almost in a family re
lationship and the pride and
jealousy that might take place
in a family group has been trans
ferred to the office.
Terry looks at her office as a
kind of family where she -has a
special and cherished position.
This may help to make her a
competent worker there, but it
also has the drawback of creat
ing a too-personal atmosphere.
She fails to see the objective
facts that people do not really
hold her responsible for Joan's
behavior and that Joan could
not possibly last in the job if the
boss were not satisfied with her.
Terry is now in the uncom
fortable position of a big sister
who feels that her little sister is
stealing the limelight. The fact
that she has created this situa
tion in her own mind does not
prevent it from hurting her
work or her friendshipx with
Joan.
This is one of those situations
that can't be "talked out" or
reasoned out very well. Since
there is little likelihood of
Joan's having to go jobless, she
should not consider remaining
in this unhealthy situation.
The girls should try to part
job-wise on good terms because
Terry would not willingly be
the instrument of pushing Joan
out of the office, and showed her
good will by getting her friend
the job in the first place.

Feminine Illusion
Almost All Gone
Says Designer
By ROBERT MUSEL
United Press Correspondent
London (U.R) The modern
male looks brazenly into the
windows of lingerie shops.
He reads the advertisements
in women's magazines, too.
So Joy Ricardo, a young de
signer, suggests that the time
has come to save the last vestiges
of feminine illusion.
She wants the keenest minds
of the fashion industry to
scheme a wav of keeping female
figure secrets away from the
mass of the male population,
before it is too late.
'"There are still a lot of men
who haven't gotten interested
in the subject," said Miss Ri
cardo who served her apprentice
ship in the Hollywood studios.
"But every day their number is
decreasing. When it comes to
fashion, ignorance is bliss for
the male and I want to keep
the men happy."
Miss Ricardo cites the case of
the topless evening gowns.
"As long as men did not know
how they were held up and, I
suppose, subconsciously assessed
the chances of an accident, these
were very popular. Now every
man knows they are wired se
curely if he can't actually see
the wiring cut into the flesh.
"I think the style was doomed
the moment men began to specu
late on the engineering involved
in keeping the top firmly in
place."
Miss Ricardo says it appalls
her to discover how many men
she meets who knows all about
devices for making hips look
small or busts look big.
"A girl spends time and money
dressing herself expensively and
well," she said. "Then she meets
her beau. He says she looks
lovely. But he is thinking 'all
that draping around the hips is
designed to hide the fact she is
too broad where she shouldn't
be too broad.'
"This man and his horde of
smirking know-all friends defeat
the purpose of the designer. They
know that shirring and draping
around the bosom are designed
to make it appear to be more
than it is, that panniers help
hide hippiness, that adding
around the waist makes the hips
look narrower, that puff sleeves
are good for thin shoulders and
so on."
Miss Ricardo said she did not
want to be more specific since
her story might be read by those
who still believe there is no
more to a pretty girl than meets
the eyes.
"We could start by making
advertisements more general
leaving the special descriptions
to be given by the salesladies
tete-a-tete," said Miss Ricardo.
"And lingerie shops could co
operate by keeping the more
clinical under-garments out of
sight.
"But this is bigger than both
of us. It's a problem for the
whole industry."

Half -Million Meals Cooked
By Southwest Barbecue King
By JIM WILLIAMS.
Stillwater, Okla.fU.R) It all
started as a hobby some 30 years
ago, and Clay Potts, unofficial
"barbecue king", of the South
west, maintains it's still a hobby
even though he has cooked up
enough barbecue for more than
500,000 persons since 1946.
Last year was his busiest. He
dipped bp tasty barbecue, with
all the trimmings, for 154 par
ties, and turned down several
other invitations.
The success of a barbecue,
whether large or small depends
upon the attitude of the people
who are doing the serving, the
barbecue king said.
"Courtesy should be the key
note," Potts said.
"Serve your guests hot food
and they'll always come back
for seconds."
Potts is inclined to pick men
as the best outdoor cooks.
"Men like quality and quan
tity, whereas women tend to be
a little sparing. Find a good
man who likes to barbecue and
you have the best."
Potts, director of food pro
duction at Oklahoma A. & M.
College here, insists that his bar
becuing is strictly amateur. But

him
The barbecue king cooks on
a large scale, using from 50
pounds to a ton of beef at a
time, depending on the size of
the party. His crew knows that
when Potts fires up the two
pits, they may have as many as
5,000 persons in for lunch.
A typical Potts barbecue con
sists of chunks of juicy beef on
thick buns with onions, pickles
and cole slaw. For dessert, oat
meal cookies.
Potts joined the A. cfc M.
agronomy department in 1922
and it was 20 years before he
switched to the food division. In
1942 he was responsible for
overseeing the diets of several
thousand soldiers who were in
training at the school's technical
business training center.
In addition to heading the
food production department on
the 8,000 plus student campus,
he has been director of A. & M.'s
short course center since 1930.
And, he has been in charge of
the press 'box lunch counter
since it was opened in 1947.
Although the main dish is bar-
becused beef, Potts and his team
turn out chicken, fish and steaks
for special occasions.

Completes 150th Quilt
De Smet, S. D. U.R) Mrs.
Ella Hamen, who has just com
pleted her 150th quilt, says, "I
would rather be quilting than
sitting idle, so I quilt."
Mrs. Hamen; who is 76, spends
from six to eight hours daily
quilting for other people. She
started her profitable hobby
through a farm paper ad 15 years
ago.
Some of her outstanding work
includes a quilt designed similar
to a map of the United States
with each state embroidered on
it. And included is each state's
flower or representative animal.
Mrs. Hamen s secret for a
healthy long life is keeping busy

Empire Silhouette
Said Unbecoming
For Many' Women
New York (U.R) Designer
Claire McCardell, an exponent of
the empire silhouette, is tie
first" to admit it is not becoming
to every woman.
Miss McCardell features the
high-waisted, loose-fitting empire
in many designs, both for day
time and evening.
But she says any ' way you
drape it, the empire looks its
best on the woman who has a
small rib cage.
Miss McCardell, who has been
making the empire for 10 years,
advises the woman who's ex
tremely tall to stay away from
this silhouette. It only exagger
ates height.
"And it's not for the stout,"
she said. "But then, what does
look good on a stout woman?" -
But, she said in an interview,
the empire is one of the most
flattering silhouettes the, slim
woman can wear. It makes her
took taller, her legs longer. She
believes more dressmakers by
fall will have revived the. em
pire. "It's the happy and comforta
ble medium between the sheath
and those full-skirted, tight
waisted dresses," she said.
