CALIFORNIA-PACIFIC W UTILITIES COMPANY 1 1 1 J a i I j 1 1 VJ I 71TlJTTT'T;Tvv Potpourri This week is American Education Week, and as far as Pot pourri is concerned, the past week will be remembered as Trick Fog Week. About all we can remember is the trying businci of crawling along streets and highways at 10 miles an hour with our two eyes glued to the white line in the middle. Wonder if it would help any to paint the center traffic line of that horrible pink or yellow fluorescent stuff? Signs made of it seem to glow through the fog. Even those veterans of .the streets and roads, the taxi drivers, are feeling the strain. Since so many people abandon their cars and call cabs during the foggy weather, the over-worked drivers were literally on the fly last week. Potpourri even called a cab Friday night just to go from the Tribune office to the Country club and the driver told how he was lost on the East side of town Thursday night for about 20 minutes. Just after we left the Tribune the cab dispatcher gave the driver three other calls in rapid succession, one to pick up a lady at a downtown building. TTie cabbie hurried to -the entrance, but no passenger. Waiting and fuming, he observed "we only get 20 cents out of every 50 on these jobs and then people wonder why we're always in a hurrv. and hate to wait."' After about five minutes, he called the dispatcher and received permission to con tinue without the other passenger and as we drove away he said "1 11 bet in another five minutes she'll be on the phone screaming to know where her taxi is." The drive from the club turn-olf to the clubhouse was strictly guess work, with apparently nothing but swirling space in front cf the headlights. Arriving safely at the clubhouse, where the Junior Service league champagne supper was getting underway, Potpourri and Photographer Bob Vroman had almost as much difficulty in seeing indoors as out. since fashionable cocktail lounges and dining rooms are so dimly lighted. The subjects not only kindly consented to pose for pictures, but had to assist by holding a lighted match, or cigarette lighter, until Bob could focus. He also used a match to check the camera settings. We went to the champagne supper determined to watch for unusually pretty gowns, but the only spot in the club light enough to tell about colors was the entrance hall. Since Mrs. Donald Whalin was tending the ticket table, her handsome gown of red changeable taffeta could be seen to advantage. Mrs. Philip Lowry kindly explained that her pale blue gown was of lace, instead of embroidered organdy as we first thought, and Mrs. Arlon Skinner obligingly stood up when we admired her gown, a sheath of black velvet with rhinestone trim. Next time we go to a party at the club we're going to wear our bifocals and take a flashlight. There was plenty of light, and food, at the dinner last Saturday night at Shady Cove which honored Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Watson. Photographer Bob, dubious about the wild menu, had said he was going to take a sack lunch, but he needn't have worried. The re porter and photographer sampled almost everything (Potpourri skipped the fried grasshoppers and green turtle bits) but we ate roasted bear, racoon and porcupine, and enjoyed the meat very much. The last two are very "gamey" but good. We also tasted baked and smoked salmon, ate a fried clam, sampled an abalone dish, ate two servings of a wild rice and mushroom casserole that was plain wonderful, and had slivers of roast duck or goose, maybe both. Can't remember eating any of the squirrel pot pie. or the elk. We did eat a wild rice pancake with wild honey, and a great big piece of elderberry pie. Most of this time we carried on a conversation with F. J. Clifford, whose home spun comments on life in the Rogue valley and other spots often find their way into the communications' column of the Mail Tribune. Mr. C. admitted that it takes him a long time to compose enough material for half a column wonders how the professionals ever beat out as much copy as they do. He thinks Potpourri doesn't do much work at home. If he wants to know just how little, he might ask Pappy. We tasted chinquapin and wild hazel nuts for the first time Mrs. John Watson had undertaken the task of getting the chinqua pins from their prickly burrs said she finally put them on the floor and stomped them out with her feet while wearing a pair of heavy shoes. Carroll Watson boasted that he ground acorns in an Indian mortar and pestle in order to have acorn meal for little biscuits. After eating all these wild foods. Potpourri and Photographer Bob decided the Indians must have lived pretty good, as far as food went. Ira C. Jones kept telling his daughter, Mrs. A. E. Brockway, that he didn't believe the pet parakeet could talk decided it was just Mrs. B s imagination. But a short time before election the parakeet settled on Mr. Jones' shoulder and much to his delight clearly said "I Like Ike". Mrs. Brockway had worked a long time teaching the bird the words, knowing it would please her 97-year-old father. O.S.
