Potpourri
Ever since last Sunday we've been wondering what bemused
city employee numbered the houses on Oakwood drive. Hunting
for the J. C. Miller home last Sunday, we rounded the corner off
Windsor avenue and noted that the first house was numbered
2235 it belongs to the W. B. Cleggs. We dimly remembered that
the Millers lived close by, but decided we must be wrong for
their number Is 411. So we drove on, but had to turn around and
come back, for sure enough, 2235 is next door to 411.
Mrs. Miller admitted that the whole situation is pretty con
fusing, and said she understood that the fire department men
memorize the Oakwocd homes and house numbers, just to be on
the safe side.
The Miller home was decorated with Christmas greenery and
candles, but the buds on the camellia bushes which stand at
either side of the front door are already showing faint streaks
of pink. Planted in tubs, they are protected by the doorway and
Mrs. M. says she coaxes them along with a generous dose of coffee
grounds. At home mother occasionally watered the house plants
with cold tea, but never before had we heard about putting coffee
on camellias.
We also chatted with Mrs. David Holmes, and heard about the
exciting gift she found under the Christmas tree (well, not exactly).
Blonde and beautiful Mrs. Holmes is now driving a sleek little
pale blue Thunderbird, a present fom her husband.
Practically nothing outshines a Christmas tree during the
holidays, but guests at the D. J. Bolton home last Sunday evening
were most excited over the gorgeous wine-colored orchids which
were in the living room. Some of the guests inspected the green
house where Mr. Bolton grows the exotic plants and flowers, and
when the late-staying friends had dwindled to a few, Mr. B. pre
sented the women with blossoms.
Mr. B. proudly displayed a blooming plant, the first blossoms
he has had from plants which he himself raised. He also has seeds
sprouting on agar in glass tubes, and little plants in various stages
of growth.
Doreen Bohnert wanted her sister, Marilyn, now Mrs. James
Rice, to be her honor attendant when she was married to Donald
Bradshaw. So the wedding was set for the hristmas holidays, the
only time that Lieutenant Rice could be away from his Marine
corps duties. With just a few days to make the trip, and a slim
budget, the young couple drove the 3,000 miles from Triangle, Va.,
and back in their little Volkswagen. Somehow they contrived a
bed in the tiny car and took turns sleeping and driving.
Among the Bradshaw-Bohnert wedding finery or decorations
there should have been a few 4H club emblems. For both the
bride and bridegroom, the matron-of-honor and best man are all
10-year 4H members, several others important to the wedding are
4H club members and the bride's parents and bridegroom's father
re leaders.
The best man, Robin McKinley of Gervais, Ore., introduced
Doreen and Donald seven years ago when they were both 4H
competitors at a state fair. Because of this and his friendship for
both, the young man felt privileged to present the bride the blue
garter which she wore on her wedding day. For "something old"
the bride wore her own little plastic slippers which she fancied
resembled Cinderella's glass slippers of fairy tale fame.
The Harry Prentices are just back from Mexico, and Mrs. H.
is bubbling over about the wonderful trip they had. The Prentices
"did everything-' they attended the opera and theater and con
certs in Mexico City, they visited the resorts, rode on buses and
were guests in a private home.
Mrs. Prentice observed that every bus has religious statues
and that the drivers (there are always two to a bus) stopped the
vehicle at numerous wayside shrines and hopped out to say quick
prayers. She reports that little Mexican girls are wearing their
hair in pony tails, and cotton dresses with billowing skirts over
many petticoats, just like their American sisters across the border.
The travelers were amused at the endless kissing in public, and
decided that it was a misnomer to say "bull fight." "Why call it
a fight," asked Mrs. Prentics. "The bull isn't given a clnce."
"Knickers are coming back and this time the women as well
as the men will wear them," wrote Gay Pauley of the United Press
in her column. Well, its plain to see that Miss Pauley is younger
than Potpourri. For in our co-ed days at Washington State college,
both men and women wore knickers. For the co-eds, knickers were
worn like pedal pushers and Bermunda shorts are now.
Men wore baggy plus-fours with knee-length ribbed hose and
matching pull-over sweaters. Pappy looked real handsome in his.
The knickers, however, were skimpier and definitely didn't do a
thing for a girl's figure.
During the just past holiday season Potpourri called a
number of couples and asked permission to take pictures at parties,
as we have for several years past. Some demurred and others
downright refused. Two or three said "but what if our friends
think that we called the paper and asked to have the pictures
taken?"
To which we answered, truthfully, that fuch a thing just doesn't
happen here very often. Almost all the pictures of parties and the
society section front page pictures are taken because a staff
member invites the subject to pose. Routi ie pictures of brides and
brides-to-be are brought in, of course, and organizations make
requests for picture coverage. Staff members decide the number
of pictures used and the poses. Sometimes a hostess giving a party
as a farewell, or "welcome home" event caI1s the paper, and we
might point out that more of this news would be in the paper if
more readers cooperated.
It has been suggested that picture coverage be explained for
the benefit of interested persons, and we hope this proves helpful.
We might add a thought from an article Emily Post once wrote
about the relations of an Individual with the press. Mrs. Post
said, in effect, that if an individual wishes his, or her, business
activities, charities, clubs and lodges publicized by a newspaper,
then that individual should be willing to cooperate by giving per
mission to print personal news. O.S.
