It will be white stripes. If the I heavy fog persists, we're going stripes down the middle of Kings highway and on our piece of South Stage road. The white stripe is all that keeps us from going crazy trying to find our way home when visibility is zero, and a frozen zero at that, and when the white is almost gone, driving is reduced to sheer guess work. Horrible as it is for motorists and pedestrians, the freezing fog makes a fairyland out of gardens and roadsides. Saturday morning we took a few minutes to wander around in the family yard: the big willow tree was a veritable fountain of frost, the pyracantha took on new beauty and the branches of the climbing roses curved low with their burden of feathery frost. Now that the rest of the family has taken up residence in Brooklyn, the daily mail holds more interest than usual. In addi tion to a new address, the last letter brought the news that the Army wife had been hired in the office of the quartermaster's supply office on Governor's island, where the soldier now is a part of the First Army band. "They are so short-handed here that I was hired the same day that I took the test (Civil Service)" the letter said. "I had to have a physical and go through a lot of red tape, which included listing organizations (other than religious and political) that I have belonged to and every place I have lived since January 1, 1937. "My job is in the quartermaster supply office and apparently consists of typing requisitions and keeping files. We get up at 4:30 a.m. in order that Kenny can get to the island in time to change clothes and report at 7:30." Raised in Medford, where the pedestrian has rights and traffic laws are enforced (at least to some-extent) the new resident of New York is horrified at the big city traffic. She wrote "I've been wanting to describe New York traffic to you ever since we arrived. It is utterly fantastic. There is no pedestrian law, and I don't know why more of them aren't killed. You will find them crossing on a red light oftener than a green. "The parking problem is acute. There is very little off-street parking, because of a lack of space for it, and. what there is, is exorbitant. It is commonplace to drive down a street lined with "No Parking" signs and find it parked solid. Double parking is also very common, especially on narrow one-way streets that normally accommodate only two lanes of traffic. "Most streets that aren't right in the downtown shopping area aren't metered. They also usually aren't marked off with white lines, and it isn't unusual to see one-half to three-fourths of a parking space between cars. Drivers are extremely discourteous and pushy. If they weren't, bey'd never get where they were going. It's a wonder there is a car left in New York without at least one dented fender. "Our apartment is far enough out so that parking isn't such a problem, and if we decide to garage it in the basement, it will be only 515 a month compared to S50 where Muriel and Henry live. You guessed it they don't have a car. Uncle Henry walks to work every morning. (Uncle Henry is Dr. Henry Townley Heald of the Ford Foundation). "Incidentally, they went to Washington, D. C. to attend a re ception given by Nehru at the Indian embassy Wednesday, and Uncle Henry was at a luncheon given for Nehru by the mayor of New York yesterday." Mrs. Frank Applegate, who lives on Oakdale avenue in Med ford, has an interesting story about addresses. Her daughter, Mrs. Thomas Barry, lives at 2120 Applegate avenue in Klamath Falls; Mrs. Barry's brother, Dick Applegate. lives at 515 West Barry street in Chicago, just one street over from Oakdale avenue. Dick Applegate, the overseas correspondent and radio news man who was on the front pages for month and months while a prisoner of the Chinese communists, is now back with NBC, this time as a special events announcer. The Applegates are delighted to be able to hear their son broadcast again and report that they often hear him on a program received here at 7:45 a.m. over an NBC hookup. Wedding finery takes on a new note during the holidays. Attendants at the wedding of Glenna James to Arthur Symons Jr., carried single candles with a sprig of holly; the bridesmaids for the wedding of Kathryn McAllister to Ray Miller carried clusters of white bells, and those for the Walker-McKinstry wedding last Sunday carried little white fur muffs with holly. These were particularly effective with the girls' red velveteen frocks. In keeping with winter and the setting of the wedding, which was at Crater Lake park headquarters Thursday, Marlene Rundell carried a bouquet of silvered pine and pine cones with white bells for her marriage to Joseph Meeker. Her sister, Gayle, who was honor attendant, wore a frock of Crater Lake blue and carried pine boughs sprayed with gold, and red cones. The door decoration at the McAllister home the evening of the wedding and reception was two white wedding rings, inter wined, and a cluster of white bells, the bells having been one of the bride's presents. A "new note" at the Walker-Mckinstry wedding probably won't become a custom. One of the women pouring received a tip. When Mrs. - George Bolster complained to Shelby Tuttle that "business isn't very good" he quickly extracted some coins from a pocket and deposited it near the elegant silver service over which she was presiding. For the past week Potpourri has been trying to dream up something really wise and significant to say about the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. But we didn't come up with anything. We just wished that we could get our desk and little corner of the office cleaned up somehow before 1957 comes: that we'd have more time the coming year to write extra special stories that are just waiting to be written and that the fog would go away so we could see the hills, if not the sun, for a change. So, Potpourri just has to return to that old, but still in good-working-order wish Happy New Year to everyone. O.S. Fabric, Styles To Be Ladylike Fabric and silhouette trends for cruise and resort wear are toward the ladylike and ro mantic. And nowhere does fash ion's influence become more ap parent than in cotton daytime and date clothes, reports the National Cotton council. This season both sheaths and full-skirted silhouettes are given a finished costume look with the addition of capelets, round ed boleros and short caracao jackets. The "sheath plus" ap pears in a natural beige day dress of lightweight denim which coordinates with a full length coat in orange-printed cotton, slit at the sides and bound in beige. The capelet makes its fash ion point when worn over a fly-point black and while cot ton tweed sheath. Detachable, it has narrow white edging which forms a demure bow at the neckline.
