Although Mr. Willard will re main in the area three months assisting in the obtaining of jobs, housing, and other privileges de nied the Indians (which give them little incentive to become responsible citizens, according to Mrs. Ross Ragland, president of the Klamath Falls council), the committees plan to carry on a long range program. At the present time $700 of, the amount needed for the proj ect is still unsubscribed. The Medford Council of Church women has voted to assist in procuring this sum The committee has proposed that 70 women earn $10 each for this cause. Several types of "jobs" have already been pro- ; posed, according to council offi- j cials. One woman is baking I bread while others are selling plants, upholstering chairs, I baby sitting, covering umbrellas i inH i . ; . T . . u eons. The other member of the Med ford committee is Mrs. Samuel Earhart who was unable to at tend the conferences. T. B. Waters, head of the management specialists, report ed that proposed legislation on extending the time on Klamath Termination act will come out of the Rules committee for vote next week in the House of Rep resentatives. Speaking at the conference in Chiloquin he said that the amendment passed the Senate several months ago. He stated that this time is the minimum needed ii order to bring about changes in the legislation if handicap and loss were to be avoided by the Indians.

Pattern Cotton Sunbacks IPottponnnTn The Duchess of Windsor advanced Potpourri's "how to wear flowers" campaign during her recent visit to London. A squib in the Denver Post says that the American-born duchess," pictured in London newspapers, was wearing "two carnations at the shoul der but without messy ferns and the flowers up, instead of the stems." This business of wearing flowers stems up and heads down has always been one of our pet peeves, and from time to time Potpourri has published appeals by the National Florists' association which begs the fair sex to wear flowers as they should be worn with the faces up toward the wearer's face. The story from London also said that the duchess was wearing a new seven-eighths length fur cape with slits instead of sleeves and that her dress was "good goods" in black. And while on the subject of VIPs, here'.s what was served when President and Mrs. Eisenhower gave a state dinner in honor of the president of Viet Nam, The menu (also gleaned from the pages of the Denver Post) was beef aspic mold, hot cream green split pea soup served with tiny hot crescent rolls, crab Maryland with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers marinated in a wine vinegar and served with crackers, pheasant with wild rice and fresh asparagus, a green tossed salad with Roquefort cheese dressing and for des sert pistaschio ice cream with small cakes and candies. We hope none of the' guests were dieting. Or maybe guests at state dinners weren't trained as we were, to wit, you ate every thing because if you didn't, there wouldn't be any dessert and be sides you'd jolly well be hungry "before the next meal. Back to the dinner it was served on white iinen tablecloths, the service plates were gold and the cut-crystal water goblets were flanked by four wine glasses, according to the Washington correspondent who faithfully recorded all this important trivia. The flowers on the U-shaped table, and another table inside the U, were all pink stock, carnations, roses and snapdragons. The matter of the four wine glasses at each plate sounds In triguing. Potpourri didn't know that so much wine is served at state dinners. In our ignorance about such matters, we thought that presidents didn't serve wine, in deference to the WCTU vote. John Pierce received a letter from a Fiji islander in his mail last wek. It was from Samu Delanimte, who found John's name and address in a bottle washed up on the shore of his island one day. John whiled away some of the time while aboard ship en route to New Zealand last February by putting slips of paper bearing his name and address in bottles and tossing them over board at intervals. Writing from Cicia, Lau, Samu said "I am very glad to write this letter to you. I am quite well. Hoping you are in best of health and with God's blessing during your voyage. I would like to tell you that on one fine morning I walked down to the sea side and I found a bottle flooding on the sea. I picked it up and found your precious address in it. I am so glad when I saw it. I would like to hear the story, about your journey also your country. I am a native boy of Fiji. I stay in a small island called Cicia. I about 180 miles far from Suva City. It con tains about 1000 population. Would you please kindly to let me know about stamps to change with a watch. I have some here and I like to change them with a hand waist watch. Kindly if you don't mind to show me how I can get a watch. I am closing this letter with best regards to you. Bye, bye, I am yours sincerely." Wonder if its postage stamps or "green stamps that Samu wants to trade for a watch. According to W. G. McLoughlin Jr., assistant professor of American Civilization and Political Science at Brown university, the recurring phenomenon of religious revivals in America can be explained two ways.' One is that "professional revivalism has become an institutionalized business which is built into the life and thought of the major Protestant churches; the second is that Americans have a perpetual guilty conscience about the inconsist ency between their ideals and their practices. "Since Americans are the most practical as well as the most idealistic of people, they have evolved the highly efficient system of mass revivalism to . . . purge themselves periodically of self-dissatisfaction, and to alle viate their recurrent disillusionment at the failure of their dreams of a world of peace and plenty." Professor McLoughlin, who is currently writing a history of revivalism in America, sets forth some of his views in a recent is sue of The Nation in an article on Billy Graham and his campaign in New York- City, and entitled "In Business with the Lord." "He (Graham) is at the head of a wealthy, influential and su perbly managed business organization which has capitalized upon all the mass-revival techniques of the past 125 years and added a few gimmicks of its own," McLoughlin .writes. "Graham makes no secret of the businesslike way in which he operates. In fact, he is proud of his organization and of the results it so efficiently pro duces, 'I am selling the greatest product in the world, he says. 'Why shouldn't it be promoted as well as soap!' " Evangelist Graham's "team" includes an advance man, a busi ness manager, a publicity man, a follow-up man, two counselling experts.'a solo singer, a choir director, three assistant evangelists, a pianist, an organist and a personal assistant for Graham as wen as various specialists and 20 clerical workers. The professor esti mates that Evangelist Graham's campaigns cost a million dollars a year. Professor McLoughlin sounds like he doesn't care much for the evangelist or his methods. He says that Graham, like his prede cessor, Billy Sunday (from whom he borrowed a lot of his system) "lumps together the fate of Christianity, world civilization, democ racy, America and laissez-faire capitalism. To Billy Graham, the Bible is an American book." Photographer Carl Landis took and processed a lot of film on the Smith-Guiley wedding, held May 18. He also processed a roll of film which turned out to be pictures of the bridegroom, Justin Smith, when he, was back in grade school. Papa Justin came across the roll of film, wondered about it and took it down to the shop. Sure enough, it had been exposed, and the pictures showed son Justin more than 10 years ago. Sounds like something that would happen in Potpourri s house hold, we told Photographer Carl. "You and a lot of other people," he retorted. Seems like it's not a bit uncommon for a customer to come in with a roll of film that has been hidden away for years. This will be no news to housewives, but there's so much dirt in the air that we each retain about one teaspoonful in our lungs every day. If that doesn't choke you up, Minneapolis-Honeywell adds that if all the dirt that goes into an average city's air in one year fell at once, it would bury the city under 21 feet of dirt. O.S.

CENTRAL Britain's Queen Elizabeth Successful at Sport of Kings By ANNE GILBERT United Prtst Correspondent London (IP) Queen Eliza beth II, one of Britain's most ardent racing fans, also is prov ing one of the Commonwealth's most successful in the "sport of kings." The royal stables usually do not pay their way. But the pret ty monarch's' winnings have been equalled only by her great grandfather, Edward VII, in 1900 when he was the Prince ot Wales, and her father, King George VI, in 1942. The Queen does not bet. Sug gestions in the press that the monarch indirectly places , wa gers, always have been denied strongly by official sources. Elizabeth, who has attended the races more than a dozen times this season, looks a differ ent person at the track. She is relaxed . and smiling. Race and television audiences once saw the Queen, who had been standing intently before the royal box, clap her hands on her head in mock astonishment and do several pirouettes when her horse finished first. The ' Duke of Edinburgh ap parently does not share her en thusiasm. He accompanies her to the more important meetings but the Queen usually is with the Queen Mother or her sister, Princess Margaret. The Duke plays polo instead. The first year after her cor onation, 1954, the Queen topped the list of owners of' winning horses, taking a total of $114,780 a good purse in English racinp. Only her father and her great grandfather headed the list be fore her. This year, with the season drawing to a close, she is eighth in the list of the top 10 owners. Her earnings at present are $43,485. It was estimated last year, when her earnings were near'y $20,000, that she would be $28, 000 in the red. The Queen's an nual bill for keeping her string of horses in training reportedly averages $56,000. The Queen keeps about twe dozen horses of her own. She leases others from the government-run national stud farm. With the government horses, she . splits the purse on a 50-50 basis and on all her winnings she gives the usual 10 per cent to the jockey. All the Queen's own horses are trained at the 37-acre Free mason Lodge stables near the Newmarket race course in Suf folk. There are 42 employees, including trainers, blacksmiths, girl helpers and boy appren tices. The horses are exercised on the stables' heathland. Train ing is under direction of Capt. Cecil Boyd-Rochfort. Her racing manager is 75-year-old Tipper-ary-born Capt. Charles Moore. Her national stud horses are trained by Noel Murless, at a separate stable. In her best racing year, 1954, Elizabeth for the first time raced under her own colors purple, gold, scarlet and black which were also the colors of Edward VII. Her jockey that year, before his injury and Re tirement, was one of the greatest of all time, Sir Gordon Richards. m m mm mm m m mm.' 112 E.
