With everyone complaining about the quality of American movies sent to foreign countries, it's a wonder something wouldn't De done. Perhaps this would be a good project for some women's club. When Dr. Brock Chisholm was here to speak for the South ern Oregon Child Guidance clinic association he told about at tending an American movie showing in Prague which shocked him. He was told that such "low type" movies from this country were shown regularly, and that the average Czechoslovakian citizen believed they were a true picture of life in the United States. Mrs. Floyd Fox of Silverton spoke in Central Point Wednes day for the Homemakers' Festival and said much the same thing. Because of American movies, citizens m the Orient and the Middle East countries think that all residents of the U. S. are "idle rich" and have little to do except keep out of the way of gangsters shooting it out on street corners, Mrs. Fox reported. . Mrs. Fox has a tart tongue which she used to good advantage from time to time. "We visited Monaco' and saw Grace's shack," said Mrs. F. "She can have it." Talking about food abroad, Mrs. Fox said the coffee tasted like it was "squeezed straight from the bean." . . The speaker ended her talk by admonishing her listeners to go home and prepare a good dinner for their husbands, and not to just heat something from a can, either. While eating the dinner, she said, "be good and thankful -you live in a country where women are allowed to sit at the same table with their husbands and children and enjoy a meal, and where women are respected and not just considered slaves." A bouquet of tulips landed Potpourri In municipal eourt. Truly. But they were worth it. It's like this. Potpourri and Photographer Bob Vroman trekked around the valley Monday afternoon taking pictures of spring flowers for today's picture page. We visited the home and garden of Mr; and Mrs. John Holmer on the Old Stage road and Mrs. H. gave us an arm load of tulips, including a dozen or so simply exquisite lily tulips. White with an edging of pink on the pointed petals, they are arrestmgly beautiful. Come Tuesday morning we simply couldn't bear to go away and leave them at home, so we took them to the office. In addition to the vase of flowers we had our lunch, our home work, purse, a hat in a sack and a few other items. Not wanting to carry this all the way from our favorite parking spot on North Grape street to the Tribune we parked in front of the office, unloaded it and carted everything upstairs, meaning to sneak a few moments later and move the car. At 6:45 p.m. we trudged over on North Grape street fully expecting to find the Chevrolet. But we couldn't. Not even with the. help of the Tribune s Jim Murray, going home at the same time. After almost deciding to call the police and report the car stolen, we got in Jim s car and he drove around by the Tribune. And there was the Chevrolet. With two of Officer Elroy Erickson's neat little notices on the windshield. One ordering us to appear In municipal court for continuous parking from 10 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. If he only knew. It was from 8:30 a.m. until almost 7 p.m. Honest, Officer Erickson, it was all the fault of the tulips. But -they were worth it. It's too bad that people who live in the Rogue river valley have to earn a living in the spring. Everyone should be able to just enjoy the flowers and the trees' and the. blue sky. To come up over a little rise in the road and suddenly have all the glory of spring spread out from the roadside clear to the Siskiyous in the distance makes the breath quicken. , Mrs. E. H. Hanley told us Monday that her late husband often said that a spot as beautiful as the Rogue valley should be enjoyed by as many as possible, at their fullest leisure. '' Potpourri feasted on the sight of -lovely spring gardens all this week, but each one was as exciting as the last. We started in Sunday at Hanleylands where the Japanese cherries were so beautiful, even though past their peak, that they create an unreal fairyland.. And the perfume of the hundreds of lilacs was enough to make the visitors light-headed. Monday afternoon s storm brought the pink cherry .blossom's petals down so thick they carpeted lawn and driveway like heavenly snow. But the. lilacs were undaunted by the wind and rain arid their Tegal wine, purple and lavender plumes: merely bowed their " heads temporarily. When Potpourri and Anna Pellegrini mourned over the falling petals, Mrs. Hanley said she never dwells on the fading flower, but seeks out the blossom which, is just beginning to open or is at full beauty. "A garden is like a symphony written by a great composer," said this stately woman who has spent a life time in gardening. "The first flowers in spring are the overture and the succeeding blossoms are like the various movements until the symphony ends with the fall color." "Zeke" Eden reminded us Thursday night that gardens don't just grow, that they have to be planted, pruned .sprayed, watered, dusted, weeded, etc., in addition to being enjoyed. But to the gardener this back-breaking and never-ending routine isn't work It's a pleasure that brings wonderful rewards. When Potpourri exclaimed over Mrs. E's spring beauty and said "You're a wonderful gardener," Mr. Eden added "and a slave to this yard.".'This year Mrs. Eden just couldn't resist the pansies and she has dozens of every imaginable color in every nook and cranny. According to one of Mrs. Eden's neighbors and friends, she not only works like a slave, but goads everyone else into work ing, too. "Here I came all the way from Heppner to Medford to retire and just have fun and what do I do? I find myself plant ing pansies and a lot of other things and digging . like mad in the garden all because of Edith Eden." The neighbor, however, sounded real happy over knowing Mrs. Eden. . Lillian Gentner called in one day to say that the Rose society would like Potpourri to know that the first roses were in bloom on the last day of April, and later in the day we had a couple of blossoms to prove it. They were brought in, however, by Sylvia Smith, who stopped by to tell us about a recent visitor, The guest was Clyde Pangborn, well known aviator. Although "Pang," as his local friends know him, was one of the country's early-day flyers, he has not-retired and is still piloting planes of all sizes and descriptions all over the world, wnen in Medfora he always visits Jerry Smith, who was his mechanic back in the davs when Mr. Pangborn was barnstorming around the coun try, and T. E. Knackstedt, who performed the spectacular "wing walking" which thrilled the spectators. Fiver Pangborn made himself famous when, with two com' panions, he flew non-stop from Tokyo to Wenatchee, Wash., in 1931. that trio being the nrst to accompusn xms real. Aviator "Pang" pleased his Medford friends by saying that even though he has flown m all parts of the world and been privileged to see the most famous scenic spots, he still believes the Rogue valley is unsurpassed. One of . these , days, he would like to retire and live in the Rogue valley with nothing to do except go fishing and maybe watch the planes fly high over head. O.S.
