EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Sunday, j'um 23. 1957
Potpourri
Tomorrow Potpourri and her good friend, Mrs. Paul R. (Teach
er Maxir.e: Smith will board a plane and take off for the east
coast. Teacher Maxir.e ha made the trip a number of times be
fore, but for Potpourri it will be a big adventure the realization
of a Ions-nourished dream and something for which we have saved
money ever Since daughter graduated and got married.
We're going to visit Washington, D.C., and see a little of what
itibkcs the merry-go-round go in that city, then we'll go on to
Philadelphia to attend the annual convention of National Educa
tion association and last to New York.
All along the way we going to "tourist" with might and main
the White House and Mt. Vernon, the halls of congress, all the
historic sights in Philadelphia, the UN and the UP headquarters
in New York, the Shakespearean festival in Stratford, Conn., a
Broadway play and visits with daughter and other relatives
all this and more too we're going to do even if we come back home
worn to a mere shadow and with a minus-zero bank account. How
ever, the Big Boss and Anna Pellegini have both warned us
against buying the Brooklyn bridge.
Last Sunday Potpourri .'nd pappy climbed into the jeep early
in the bright morning and turned the nose of the little car up
Anderson Butte. And lucky we did. too, for its was a fine day and
the wild flowers were out in all their glory.
Even though the two of us have driven the same roads many
times in the past, we could never remember a time when the
flowers had been so colorful or in such profusion. At almost every
turn the delicate lavender and purple sprays of wild lilac hung
graft fully over the side of the road and some slopes looked al
most smoky blue, so thick were the blossoming bushes.
We ker.p promising ourselves to pack a wild flowering kit
to take on these excursions, and if we ever find the time, we'll add
a little magnifying glass for examining such blossoms as the lilac.
In Charles Saunders wild flower book it says that "The little
flowers are very' interesting if noted closely under a magnifying
glass, because of the odd-shaped petals, each with a long claw
terminating in an incurving of the blade resembling a hood or
the whole arrangement suggesting a tiny tobacco pipe, to quote
Doctor Sudworth."
Pappy took a picture or two to add to our collection and in
the same location we also photographed a roadside flower which
we had never seen before. About 18 or 20 inches tall, it had a few
graceful, curving small branches covered with microscopic blue
flowers. The exposed slopes, higher up, were abloom with masses
of blue lupine and golden poppies.
We saw more of the beautiful silver thistle than usual with the
bright red flowers just beginning to come out. On one bank we
found and photographed a lone stalk of either golden broadiaea
or golden stars (bloomeria) but since they are much alike, we're
not sure which it was. In this location we also found a cluster of
what resembles the Japanese anemone growing in the yard at
home, although a much lower plant, and a little patch of ripe
wild strawberries well guarded by poison oak.
Another slope caused us to cry out for pappy to stop quickly,
for there were many clumps' of the brightest, bluest penstemon
imaginable (at least this was our identification). This, too, we had
never found in bloom before in Jackson county and the blue is
exquisite.
By mid-morning we approached the state forest service look
out at the top of the butte, and were surprised to not only find it
Inhabited, but to be greeted by name. We learned with pleasure
that our neighbors from Happy Valley, Ed and Ida Mae Stone,
and Mrs. Stone's father, "Grandpa" Dickenson, are spending
their second summer on Anderson lookout, and so we starved for
an hour.
It's ea$y to understand why the life of a fire lookout appeals
to many. The view from Anderson is soul-satisfying. The snow
covered peaks in the Crater lake area are plainly visible and in
another direction, one can look over into Josephine county and to
the south, the California mountains come into view.
"We never get tired of watching the changing colors and pat
terns on the mountains." said Mr. S. However, they didn't agree
with our thoughts on the profusion of bloom, but declared that
flowers seemed to be scarcer in the area of the tower. They also
said last year seven or eight deer wandered daily into the little
natural meadow below the tower: this year they have seen but two
deer so far.
Lvnn Ann Latham, touring Mexico with her aunt, Miss Alta
Lindsey, began her last letter hone by dramatically describing
how a storm had added adventure to their stay at Vista Hermosa,
a resort hotel converted from an old monastery. With the rain
roming down in torrents, the guests made their way to the
dining room by a "clammy dungeon filled with ancient skeletons'
only to have the electricity go off during dinner.
Lynn wrote that dinner was served by candlelight and the
guests "slushed around" on a wet dance floor and "it was quite
a shock when you hit a pudd'e." Everyone groped their way back
to their rooms by the light of Lynn's small flashlight and candles.
Electricity and water supplies were still out of commission in the
morning, she wrote and "we had a lukewarm breakfast cooked on
gas stoves. Vista Hermosa is away out in the boonies far from
any town," she concluded. The travelers were en route to Aca
pulco for a stay before coming home.
Little Jennifer McDade was the star of the party as she stood
In the receiving line at the reception which followed the marriage
of her aunt Marcia Houghton to Dick Padgham. Jennifer "re
ceived" as graciously as Queen Elizabeth greeting her subjects
until she looked around and discovered that Papa Elmer McDade
was nowhere in sight. Summoned with a lusty wail from Jenni
fer, Papa Elmer picked up his small daughter who threw her arms
around his neck and exclaimed "Daddy, I just never see you any
more."

'Mollycoddling' Blamed
For Juvenile Troubles
Muskegon, Mich. OP) Wil
liam H. Banyan, warden of the
Southern Michigan prison at
Jackson, claims juvenile delin
quency is the result of "molly
coddling" by parents.
Bannan said lack of religious
training and parental discipline
were two reasons why his insti
tution was crowded.
"Treat them (juveniles) like
the adults they pretend to be,"
Bannan said. "We're too molly
coddling with these children of
ours."

Retarded Chi Id
To Be Subject
Of Convention
The first annual convention of
the Oregon Association for Re

June 20, in Erb Memorial hall
at the University of Oregon in
Eugene.
The child at home, govern
ment's responsibility toward the
retarded child, education's prom
ise to the retarded child, and
the retarded child becomes a
capable citizen of the communi
ty, will be among the various
topics presented in the seminar.
Dr. ' Edgar Doll, consulting
psychologist of the Bellingham
Public schools in Washington,
will be among the many experts
to present his ideas and advice
to those attending the confer

helping the retarted child gain
a niche in the community and
becoming a productive citizen,
are urged to attend this confer

that is needed in order to help
these children, and this confer

Americans Use
60 Billion Quarts
Of Milk Each Year
Chicago Americans consume
approximately 60 billion quarts
of milk every year, either as
milk or in the form of butter,
cheese, Ice cream or others of
the dairy foods family. It re
quires the daily efforts of al
most 22 million cows on over
one million dairy farm's to keep
this steady river of milk
flowing.
Breaking down the milk into
its many different food nutri
ents, needed to maintain healthy
bodies, this milk supply provides
approximately 30 per cent of the
essential elements in the Ameri
can diet. This includes such
things as calcium, phosphorus,
vitamins A, D, E, the B vita
mins including riboflavin, nia
cin and other body building ele
ments. Milk protein rates near
the top for its biological value.
In return for this 30 per cent
of the food nutrients, consumers
pay less than 20 cents out of
each of their food dollars, put
ting dairy products into the
classification of being bargain
foods. It has been estimated that
a quart of milk is worth from
38 to 42 cents in terms of buying
milk's nutrients in other foods
that would commonly be consid
ered substitute sources of the
various elements of milk.
