CAMERAS Potpourri About last Wednesday Potpourri wished that we had our pal, FB, back with us in the editorial corner. For it was FB who always look over the terrible task of bringing up-to-date the files in which are listed the more than 200 lodges, clubs, and other organizations that send news to the women's department, and sending out the invitations to the annual training class for club reporters. . We burned the midnight oil three different nights, and still there remains a stack of cards which was not processed, so if some one is left out, it was because there aren't enough hours in a day. FB, however, has promised to appear at the school Tuesday afternoon at the YMCA long before the appointed hour of 2:30 o'clock and help Potpourri with the party. Since this is a news room party, Mrs. Eric Allen Jr., wife of the managing editor, and Miss Peg Hutchinson, who came from Colorado when FB decided to retire to the banks of the Rogue for a life of cooking, riding, rock hunting and writing-of-notes, will pour when the work session ends and the tea party begins. Rosie, girl reporter-photographer, maintains she doesn't go for teas, but has promised to come and lake pictures. A couple of days before her wedding, Sharron Callahan found herself to be a bride without a trousseau. Or rather, a bride with a trousseau in another city. As anyone ever involved in pre-wed-ding preparations knows, things get pretty hectic before the wedding day, and when Sharron arrived in Medford Thursday, with the wedding on Saturday, she was shocked to find that her pretty suit and all the finery weren't here, but back in Corvallis. Somehow Sharron thought she had brought the boxes and suit cases down on, an earlier visit but she hadn't. The wedding dress, veil, etc., were here, but that was all. Luckily, Sharron has a younger sister who wears the same size clothing. The bride-to-be did some shopping, and then just took everything else she needed from Jeryl Lynn's wardrobe. Potpourri was greeted with joy when we returned to the news room after a brief stay at the Callahan reception, for we came back bearing a great big piece of the wedding cake, sent down by kind Mrs. C. Our stay wasn't long, but long enough to see some really stylish fall suits and gowns. Mrs. A. A. Seckalz looked wonderfully smart in a black dress with one of the new feathered hats, and Mrs. Ronald DeVore looked equally chic in a blue ensemble with clever hat to match. Mrs. Earl Lawson also wore black, but her hat and exactly matching jewelry were all of an interesting pinkish lavender shade which deserves some particularly clever or poetic name. Everyone attending the OLPNA banquet Thursday night at the Jackson hotel found at their plates plastic pill bottles with neat pharmacists' labels inscribed "take three spoonfuls with meals." They weren't filled with pills, however, but with the famous wild plum jam about which Klamath county women boast. They were gifts from the Klamath Falls nurses here for the convention. There's been a wonderful change in practical nurses. We can remember the time when a practical nurse was likely to be an untutored, nondescript woman hired mostly to cook and look after the kids while mother was ill. Now a practical nurse in Oregon must have a high school education, must have certain specified training, must pass an examination and be licensed. She is now a member of the honored nurse-doctor team and capable of relieving the registered nurse of some of her many duties and thereby helping to relieve the acute shortage of nurses. Civic Music workers are glad that the personable Dorothy Van Andel is back this year to handle the annual membership renewal campaign. Miss VA is not only pretty, but efficient, in her own fashion. She has her own filing system, in cigar boxes, with signs which read "Maybe," "Coming In,"- "Not Yet Con tacted," "Try Next Year," "To Be Telephoned" and "Already In." The representatives from national headquarters always have any number of interesting stories about the musicians and groups on Civic Music tours. The Zurich Little symphony, which per formed here last year, was the first concert group ever to fly over the North Pole on tne way to fill an engagement. The mu sicians flew from Zurich direct to Seattle and opened their Ameri can tour in Everett, Wash., last fall. Gina Bachauer tells how she gave her autograph to a five-year old boy who complimented her on her playing. "Do you play the piano," she asked with a smile. "I used to, was the reply. "It isn't what you say, but how you say it." Dr. Elmo Steven son, SOC president, who is one of those who know "how to say it", gave this maxim as one of the rules for success when he talked for the nurses' convention Thursday night. The president's theme was how to get along with people, and he pointed out that those who succeed often do so because of a pleasing personality and not because of other reasons. Illustrating his point of what a big difference there can be in "how you say it" he picked up a halt-filled cup. One person will say in a happy tone, "Why, it's half full." The next will say, In a disappointed tone, Oh, its half empty. Dr. Stevenson admonished his listeners to give praise where it is warranted, to make the other person feel his endeavors are worthwhile, to give the other person a chance to be successful, to remember to call the other person by a name he likes, to always be courteous, to be enthusiastic, to remember to ask the advice of ethers and to share confidences when it is possible. Too many Americans, says Prexy Stevenson, suffer from "I" strain. The young married wrote from Seaside, Calif., where the two are living while the soldier does his stint of Army duty, to say that rents are scandalous, the weather fine, liquor stores very numerous and that young Army wives seem to spend most of their time bickering over the use of the one and only washing machine available at the 14-family court. She also enclosed a long list of articles which are to be packed by mother and sent along to California. The list included her clothes drying rack, liver pills, brewer's yeast, the wool to finish a sweater and start some socks, some kitchen spoons, a bath brush and "any old unused money you may have."

You buy a refrigerator only two or three times in your lifetime. Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without getting so much as a look at the intricate "works" that makes it run. How do you dare make such an important purchase without having an expert check it over for you? What makes you so sure you're getting your money's worth when you say, "I'll take that one"? The answer's obvious. You look for the brand name on the refrigerator your "guarantee." You've learned to follow this first rule of safe and sound buying: . A good brand is your best guarantee Ho matter what kind of product you want to buy, you know a good brand won't let you down. You know the maker stands back of it guar antees it. And so, when you buy a good brand you know you're right. Read this newspaper to find out which are the good brands (and the stores that sell them.) The more good brands you know, the surer you are about all your shopping.
