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!" O.S.

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.

Jewelry Pieces '
Shown in Gold
By United Press
The gold rush is on in jewelry
fashions. 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. Many of the new. bib-type
necklaces have a textured rather
than smooth gold surface.
New location for either gold
or jewelled pins and clips: the
coiffure. Fashion models slip
them into the French twist at the
back of the head.
' Rhinestones take on new
colors this season. They now are
various shades of brown, with to
paz showing in most lines.
The topaz trend carries over
to the cosmetics field. One manu
facturer is promoting "the topaz
face" for fall and winter.
Designer Edith Small of Los
Angeles offers this tip on clothes
