. 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.
