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." O.S.

Can you find the "guarantee"
in this picture?
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.
