It's no wonder that the in
dents worshipped the sun. 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.

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.
