Look what a few days has accomplish ed in the Rogue valley. Little more than a week ago the pear orchards were mostly bare twigs now as we drive out Kings' highway and along our road they are a cloud of white blossoms. The primroses are in full bloom. the rich red-pink of the Japanese quince glows from hedges and corners and even the lilac and the tamarix are beginning to show color. We've been gloating over the little tulip-flowering magnolia, which for three whole years after planting didn't put out a single flower, but which has at least 30 purple blossoms this spring. And we ve always been glad that the road between of fice and home is lined with the big weeping willows. The froth of their pale green new leaves against the blue and white of the spring sky is one of April's joys. Maybe the roadside and gar dens looked especially beautiful this past week because the edi torial bones finally began to re cover from the "miseries" which recently beset us. Best of all, the striken ear once more took up its full-time duties, or almost, anyway. From now on, Potpour ri is going to have more symp athy for those who don't hear very well. To have two good ears re duced to an ear-and a-half, (more or less) is a distressing expe rience. Traffic noises were not only muffled, but seemed to come from the wrong direction. It even changed conditions in that safe and familiar "salt mine" the news room. We an swered the phone when it hadn't rung and were never quite sure whether people were talking to us, or someone else. Then there was the matter of our "silver lining" voice. It's down right unnerving to have your own voice sound like it is com ing from the bottom of an empty barrel. We're glad some medical men are good conversationalists. Whiling away the time in a doc tor's office one day last week, we read an article about the 10 richest men in the United States and as a result, found out that this doctor wished he had six million dollars. . When he said he didn't want "to be rich" but just wanted six millions, Pot pourri jeered ever so slightly. But he protested that he meant it. With the six million dollars he would "fix up" the Medford YMCA, do whatever else he could to improve other recrea tional facilities in the city, and "build a new hospital." When this brought more raised eyebrows, the doctor informed us that even when the new Rogue River hospital is finished, local hospitals will still be in adequate for the needs in this area, although vastly improved. Seems its a constant struggle in a growing area to keep the medical facilities abreast of the community's needs. From the second doctor we heard about Boy Scouting. This man, a devoted volunteer in the Scout movement for a long time, has some interesting ideas about the program and how it could be expanded and financed. Scouting, says this doctor, is much more than just recreation, or training in woodsmanship or mere fun for the boys. He be lieves that scouting is an im portant part of every boy's ed ucation, as important as his class es in school. Because it is so vital, the scouting program should be directly financed by those parents whose sons are being benefited by it. If parents who could afford to pay for scouting (and these are many) did so, then the funds now raised through the Medford Crusade irl Scouts Cook Dinner Girl Scout Troop 74 met Mon day evening at the home of Mrs. W. Jensen, 239 Corona avenue, to cook dinner and work on three badge requirements. The trirls rjrenared a spaghetti din- j ner, with spring relishes, and I crazy devils food cake with whipped cream with Mrs. R. Herriott acting as badge consult-, ant. The troop played games to close the evening. Badge work was done in cook, food and hospitality, and the badge work applies toward their first class badge. Troop leader is Mrs. Lorene Babcock; Mrs. ! Hugh Shellabarger is assistant leader. The troop is made up of sixth graders from Lincoln school. Troop members are Janice Johnson, Cheryl Champion, Meredith Jensen, Patty Stock man, Sharon Shellabarger, Vale rie Bevel, Celia Batten, Janet Eddy, Carol Mattey, Kay Fields, Sharon Sykes, Susan Coffman and Joyce Felder.

Flavor treat . . with snap beans or summer squash, cook a" table-spoon or two of minced onion, green pepper or parsley. could be used to finance scout ing for those boys whose parents cannot afford to pay. More of these boys from underprivileged homes could be drawn into scouting, he believes. This type of financing would cost parents no more than the price of a package of chewing gum a day, the doctor says, and would be money as well spent as money going for school taxes. The elaborate three-tiered an niversary cake served at the recent Southwest Oregon Preby terial meeting held in Medford was decorated with many pink and yellow roses roses which were put on twice. A Presby terian woman spent hours mak ing and icing the cake, which took four pounds of powdered sugar, and after it had hardened sufficiently, several members started for the church with it, with one woman holding the creation on her lap. A sudden stop the cake slip ped and near disaster resulted from the catch to keep it from falling to the floor. Luckily the group had started from the house early in the morning giving them some time to do a repair job. The women had to remove the tiny frosting roses from the cake and put them on waxed paper placed throughout the house. Since the supply of powdered sugar was exhausted, neighbors were asked for donations of; sugar to do the repair work. After nearly three hours of work, the cake was safely taken to the church. Bennett Cerf, who recently wrote his last column "Trade Winds" for the Saturday Review, included a bit of verse "Black Boy's Question" by B. Jo Kin nick of California. It reads: "When I check out my robe and harp, And turn in death's pale shroud; Which way in Heaven should I turn, To find the Jim Crow cloud?" O.S. Altrusans Conduct Memorial A memorial service for the late Mrs. Marjorie Butler, sec ond president of Medford Al trusa club, was conducted by Mrs. Edith Baker, the club's first president, at a Founders" day dinner held at the Medford hotel Thursday evening. This was part of a candle-lighting ceremony in honor of the seven women who founded Altrusa in Nashville, Tenn., April 11, 1917, a pioneer classified club for pro fessional women. Mrs. Bertha Haskins, past president, conducted this cere mony and gave the history and purposes of the organization. The hostesses, Miss Lotus Eat on and Mrs. Bereth Hopkins, ob served the fortieth anniversary of the international club and the fifth birthday of the local club by serving a decorated birthday cake at the end of the dinner. Mrs. Peggy Beebe, public af fairs chairman, reported on the talk given by General Har greaves at a meeting of the Jack son County Public Health asso ciation Thursday noon. Mrs. Beebe and Mrs. Codding repre sented the club. Mrs. Francis Grant and Mrs. Anne Finley outlined the prog ress of the Altrusa place mat project which supports the local club's vocational grant and the international grants-in-aid and founders' fund. The next meeting will be April 25; new members will be initiated. Mrs. Mabelle King, Santa Ana, Calif., mother of Mrs. Aud rey Frake, was a guest for the evening. Advice about personal beauty is offered in a number of re cent books on glamour avail able at the Medford library. f- For a healthful, cooling drink add a spoonful of sherbet to fruit juice.
