Potpourri i "Mental aspirins" are now the biggest prescription drug item In the United States according to Chemical Week. Sale of the so ealled "tranquilizers" may exceed $135 million this year, says an article in the publication, and have already topped the sale of barbiturates and other sedatives, as well as the sale of antihista mines. The article continues by saying that identification of all these pacifying drugs as tranquilizers is an over-simplification and that "there is an important distinction to be made between the potent tranquilizers and those which micht be termed antitension drugs." Reserpine, Thorazine, Sparine and Frenquel are listed by the magazine as "potent tranquilizers" used in mental institutions on psychotic patients. Meprobamate, marketed as Equanil and Miltown, is merely a muscle-relaxing agent derived from mephenesin. an anticonvul sant, according to the article. Whatever their purpose, these drugs do have intriguing names. How about Merrel's "Meratran," Rorrig's "Atarax" or Medicinal co's "Suavitil." We vote for "Suavitil." It's our guess that the harassed mothers of all the numerous brides and brides-to-be in Medford could do with a little "Suavi til." What with planning gowns, flowers, food, housing for the relatives and anguishing over whether or not the weather will be fair for the garden reception, mothers of brides are a busy lot. As if she didn't have enough to do with the ordinary routine, industrious Mrs. Earl Miller even made the bouquets which the attendants carried for the wedding of the Miller's daughter, Marilyn, to Dale Hodges. She grew the pink scabiosa, and be ginning about a week before the wedding, each day picked the best blossoms and put them in the family refrigerator. 'There wasn't any room for food," Mrs. M. said " only flowers." Mrs. Miller worried about the weather, but last Sunday proved to be absolutely ideal bright and blue and not too hot, and the Miller's enclosed garden and patio were ideal for the reception. Three guests from out-of-town wore the fashionable new white fur or fur felt hats, Mrs. A. Lubersky, Mrs. Miller's cousin from Mill Valley, Calif., wore a black frock with white lace set in the front of the bodice and a white hat and the bride's great-aunt, Mrs. Ragnar Bruhl of Portland, wore a white fur hat with her dark green dress. Mrs. Clyde Leonard, who lived in Medford until a short time ago and who spent the past several weeks in Europe, also wore one of the new large white furry hats with her dark dress. Meta Jean Frink of Medford made the front page of the Idaho Falls Post-Register recently and for a very different reason. She saw a moose. Not in the woods, mind you, but in the garden of her brother's home in Idaho Falls. Miss F. and her sister-in-law. Mrs. Robert Frink, rose very early one morning for Meta Jean was to take a 7 a.m. plane for home. Mrs. Frink glanced out of the window and was definitely startled to see a full grown bull moose munching on the grass. She called Meta Jean, who watched while the animal ambled off down the street. "That's what I get for being up so early," her sister-in-law told reporters later. For those who doubted the story of the two women, there were what the Post-Register reporter termed "bucket sized" prints on other lawns in the neighborhood. Miss Frink, who also visited relatives in Puyallup before com ing home, is employed in the office at Timber Products company here. "The most amazing thing about the American woman is her capacity for work. After eight hours a day in an office or shop, she has time to keep her house clean and neat and go out with her husband in the evening. How does she do it? She never takes a siesta." These kind words were written by Oscar Yanes, who visited the United States recently and fhen wrote a newspaper article about the United States for publication in a Venezuelan news paper. He was a member of a group of Latin American journalists brought here this year by the Department of State. The visitor was also impressed by the fact that the American home is so well organized, and added "It is not a place where the man makes the decisions. Both husband and wife make the de cisions. It is a democratic organization where both are perma nent members of the governing body." Carole Jo Kabler, rising young golf star from Sutherlin who won the women's title in the Southern Oregon Golf tournament over the Labor day week end. thinks about other thinks than golf. Potpourri and Maxine Smith made our annual trek around the golf course Monday following the finalists, and after Carole Jo had defeated Mrs. Bob Ihlanfeldt, we happened to walk towards the clubhouse at the same time as the young winner. t Answering a question, Carole Jo said she planned to enter the University of Oregon this fall. ' What will your major be" in quired the reporter whereupon Miss K. replied "I'm not going to major in anything I'm just going to have fun." "Why not major in men," we prompted and Carole Jo picked up the remark with a grin. "That's it I'll major in men," she said, and disappeared toward the clubhouse. Story of the week: A recent bride was asked by her future sister-in-law "Do you want me to do anything to help during the wedding or reception?" Came the reply: "Yes, I want you to punch the bowl!"

Dolls Help In Teaching Democracy Chicago U,R) Storybook dolls go to schools in many parts of the country to help teach chil dren the meaning nf such terms as "democracy." "freedom" and "brotherhood." In a program called Dolls for Democracy, volunteers from the Jewish service organization B'nai B'rith are helping educa tors with one of their most diffi cult iybs getting across the ab stract ideas basic to the Ameri can way of life. B'nai B'rith women, many of them housewives and former ca reer women, use the life stories of historic persons and illustrate them with costume dolls showing how the man or woman looked in real life. Here's how the program worked recently in a fifth-grade classroom of Lincolnwood school in Evanston, a suburb of Chi cago: Volunteer Mrs. Harvey Spell man. who takes care of a home, husband, two children, and her own dramatic school for chil dren, arrived at Lincolnwood school. On the teacher's- desk she placed four-foot-high dolls cos tumed clay replicas of Abraham Lincoln: St. Francis of Assisi; George Washington Carver, Ne gro scientist and benefactor of his race, and Chaim Weizmann, scientist and first president of Israel. Mrs. Spellman picked up the Abe Lincoln doll, with its beard, black frock cot and string tie, and said, "This is a great Ameri can. Does anyone here know who he is?" The children did. and she went on to tell of some of the 16th president's contribution to his country. Hard to Get Holding up the other dolls, she told their stories and each time she pointed out that they gave something to the world. Similar dolls and similar stor ies are the stock-in-trade of vol unteers, not only in schools and libraries, but over the airwaves and on television as well. The dolls are fragile and hard to obtain because only a few elderly craftsmen have the skill and patience to complete the his torical replicas. B'nai Brh women in Pittsburgh are mak ing their own dolls and present ing the program in schools. In San Antonio Tex., the dolls go to Scout and church group meetings, as well as to schools. Women in Columbus. Ohio, made the dolls program available to 300 schools and other commu nity organizations for children. The project was started three years ago and has spread to about 100 of the organization's 675 chapters in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and other parts of the United States and Canada. 4 Mother Here Mrs. R. J. Conroy is in Med ford to visit her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Hamilton, 905 Grant avenue. Mrs. Conroy will continue to her home in San Francisco later this fall.

The Jewelry Industry council reports that gold metal lic touches dominate most fall and winter lines, largely be cause the gold tones provide a better contrast to the somber tones of many of the fall fash ions.
