Those desiring to attend may bring a sack lunch; hot drinks will be served. A quiet room is provided for individual prayer time. The next dinner meeting of the group will be held Monday, April 1. George Harrington worried when he was told about the fare well party planned by Rogue Valley Country club members in his honor. He was worried that no one would attend. Squirming his way through the crowd of 400 that jammed every nook and cranny of the clubhouse Friday night, George smiled happily and forgot his worries. It was probably the largest party ever held at the club. George and wife Betty knew j about the party all the t.me, but were in for a big surprise when they arrived. Mrs. Harrington's mother, Mrs. Delia Flynn, had been brought from Vancouver, B.C., by plane through the ef forts of Ernest Scott, Betty's un cle, with the cooperation of Clay ton Lewis, county club presi dent. Potpourri, faced with a heavy week end schedule, went up to the club resolved to take a cou ple of pictures, tell George and Betty good by and sneak back to the office for another hour over the typewriter. But we got carried away. Without quite knowing how it happened, we found ourselves squeezed in at a table where there wasn't really room and no less a personage than Glenn (General) Jackson brought our dinner from the buf fet table. Like other farewell parties, this one was a combination of good will, thank yous, reminis cences, gifts, lumps-in-the-throat, good-natured ribbing and sly little jokes. Never having heard GLJ give a speech before (except at a C. of C. luncheon) we were interested to find out that he has a keen sense of humor and brought howls from the throng. He related tales of how the board of directors almost put a herd of dairy cattle to graze on the fairways in order to balance the country club budget. Pre senting George a beautiful wrist watch, Mr. J. insisted that it was bought at the dime store during a sale and predicted that the new manager, rotund Jimmy Dunlevy who always loses the battle of the calories, would soon worry himself down to skin and bones. Another "first" for us was the singing of Mrs. Edward Sickels. Mrs. Sickels closed the program with a song written for George H., by Mrs. Barbara Lowry, sec retary at the club, and both the song and the rendition were top flight stuff. These two clever gals should team up again. Potpourri was surprised to learn last week that visitors to the Museum of Natural History in New York City can learn a lit tle about the Rogue river valley. This news came in a letter which dscribed a visit to the museum which the young Army couple made. "We went to Manhattan Sat urday to the Museum of Natural History" the wife wrote.

On one floor there are very realistic looking scenes from around the country, including one of the Rogue valley near Trail. What they do is to arrange flora and fauna in as nearly accurate a setting as possible, and continue the scene with a three-djmen-sional mural on a curved wall. "The Rogue setting is looking up river, and shows Douglas fir, pine and two Clark's nutcrackers in the picture part, in a madrona tree. Another setting is in north ern California, with a stuffed nutcracker sit'.l..g in a pine tree with snow covered mountains in the background. There was an Arizona scene of a saguaro for est, with a snake and several birds. Many of the birds have built nests right in the cacti. Most of the material for these exhibits was provided by a Mr. and Mrs. Sterling. "We have discovered two fine little restaurants less than two blocks from the apartment. One is called the Vesuvius, and serv es excellent Italian food. The other is a Chinese place, the New Toy Sun, which is good but doesn't compare with Kim's. When we go to Manhattan we usually eat at an automat, be cause they are quick and inex pensive, and also because Aunt Muriel said they have a reputa tion for having the-, cleanest kitchens in New York. "Two weeks ago we went to Manhattan to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We stayed for a couple of hours, and needless to say, we barely scratched the surface. One part that I am sure Daddy would be interested in is the section devoted to armor and weapons. They have a huge hall filled with figures mounted on full size statues of horses.The fig ures are suits of armor in vari ous styles. Around the room in glass cases are more suits of ar mor, some with the clothing which was worn with them. "While we were looking around in this room a man walked up to Kenny and said 'Do you have any questions? Perhaps I could answer them.' He was a Bohemian-looking fellow wearing a black Tyrolean hat with a green cord around it, glasses with dark plastic rims in the style that Bill Force wears, and a gray tweed coat. It soon became apparent that he knew a vast amount about the armor, because he started leading us around the room pointing out the better pieces, noting difference in style, telling us which were early and : which were late, etc. j "He described himself as an artist, and would often comment 1 on the graceful lines of this piece or that. That was the first time I have ever seen anything grace ful about a suit of armor. Some of those things weigh 70 pounds. "There are some beautiful matched sets in the museum, and the man said he was present when they were purchased in 1929, and has a good collection of his own. He has made exact miniatures of many of the pieces, including the armor. He told us that he is now preparing to work with a large manufacturer of toys in Chicago and will design i models of some of the museum pieces in miniature, which will i be produced as toys for boys. : He left us without ever telling ; us his name. This is the sort of thing that one imagines as hap- pening in New York City. j "Another room In the museum 1 that we found extremely inter esting was the one filled with ancient musical instruments. I There were old painos, organs ! and the oldest clavichord in ex I istence, having been made by i the inventor; old viols, a whole j family of old flutes and record i ers, and a whole family of old i double reed instruments. One, for instance, was a small cylin- der about 8 inches high and 4 inches across. It was a pocket bassoon. "Kenny was vastly amused by the fact that the double reeds are displayed with modern reeds which are tied with red nylon floss. In the flute case was a beautiful porcelain flute which 1 had been donated by someone in memory of his wife. It is quite impossible to take in the mu- 1 seum in one day. We plan to go ! back again soon, and do it in several small doses." I ' Not many prospective bride- ' srnnmc fin4 t Vi o m roliroc collino their own wedding presents.

This is the second year in succession that Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Walker, who rep resented the club, have brought home the trophy. This year's display was of all lapidary work, entered in com petition with other clubs of cen tral and northern Oregon. The case consisted mostly of local stones submitted by eight mem bers of the club, and about 40 stones were exhibited. On top of the display case, sat the "World's Smallest Tumbler," built by Ice land Mentzer, club member, to exhibit an agate that has fine sand in a cavity. As the tumbler rotated ,the sand shifted as in an hour glass. This added attrac tion drew the crowd around the Pledged Portland Walter Knight of Medford has been named by the dean of men's office as one of 13 spring pledges of Delta Tau Rho, one of five campus fraternities.
