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. "To me

At Pick's
Metropolitan Museum. 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."

Roxy Ann Gem and Mineral
club of Medford won the grand
prize at the annual rock show
held March 16 and 17 in Sweet
Home, Ore. 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
