TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAl TRIBUNE Sunday. August 25. 1957 The first little golden colored leaves have fallen from the weeping birch tree, the first PTA notice since summer vacation came in last week, wedding decorations are beginning to change from gladiolus to chrysanthemums and there is only one more week of the 1957 Oregon Shakespearean festival. All of which means that summer is almost gone, and before Potpourri can draw a long breath it will be Thanksgiving and time to think of Christmas. But the flowers will bloom for another month or six weeks, and the Rogue valley is blessed with gorgeous autumn weather. And it's weddings, weddings, weddings again, with the count in today's issue running about a dozen. Margaret Selby, who iecame a rgide last Sunday without changing her name, wasn't interested in having a wedding dress which reflected the latest wedding fashions. Instead she chose a white satin gown very much like the one her mother had worn. (Margaret would have worn her mother's gown, but she is a couple of sizes smaller than Mama Jeanne.) Last July 17 Margaret's fiance, John Philip Selby of Ashland, asked permission of her parents to be married. Later that evening the Selbys remembered that 20 years ago, on the same day, Paul Selby had asked Mrs. Margaret Fabrick for permission to marry Jeanne. Jeanne and Paul were married in St. Mark's Episcopal church, and so were Margaret and Philip. Among the wedding guests last Sunday were all of Jeanrfe's attendants Mrs. Jack Sailer of Longview, Wash.; Mrs. John White, Miss Lenore Estes and Mrs. H. S. Ingle, her sister from Ashland. O For weeks before the Perl-Ripfl wedding little Robin Zundel had been told how sl was to walk down the aisle and scatter petals before the bride. Robin is only thr?e, and her mother, the bridegroom's sister, carefully rehearsed the tiny girl and told her all about brides and weddings. Robin appeared to understand the whole matter and walked confidentally, if somewhat slowly, down the aisle at Medford's First Presbyterian church the night of the wedding, dropping petals as she had been instructed. That is, she did until she discovered that Dr. William Miller, escorting the bride to the altar, was about to step on one of the petals. Little Robin stooped down, snatched the petal from under the doctor's foot and put it down in frfsjtt of the bride. . . . . . o The last letter from the Army wife in New York brought the good news that an apartment had finally been located in West Berlin, where the soldier is now stationed, agd'that she had completed arrangements to fly to Europe. "Kenny has found an apartment, and I am JHying over September 3," she wrote. "I havrmy passport, and my shots are taken care of except for my Schick test. I am going over by Pan American, and will be in Berlin the afternoon of September 4. Actually, PAA goes only as far as Frankfort; I have a two-hour layover and chige pjenes there. My ticket .jwill cost $343.40. "Joan Kugeli and I are still trying to get up to Stratford. She is to be married soon to a fellow v the name of Erik Darling, who sings with the Tarriers. They recorded the hit version of 'Banana Boat Song'. As Joan says, he is a folk singer, and fortunately, not a starving one. I had dinner with Joan and her younger sister, Karen, last Sunday after the matinee. (Joan, former Ashland Shakespearean festival player, is now appearing in a play in an off-Broadway theater.) We had Italian food at a place called Monte's on MacDougal street close to the theater, then walked over to the Washington Square fountain to meet Erik. The area was crowded with an astounding group of people. We sat at the edge of the fountain For about an hour, watching the crowd. "I have been pluggingCaway at my packing," and hope to get most of it done this week. I am gathering some dtids and ends to send to-jou; there isr too much, so don't be alarmed." We wl not be alarmed over a few "odds and ends." An upstairs bedroom, a downstairs room and part of the upper hall are already crowded with daughter's possessions including clothes, books, a saddle, most of her wedding presents and a quantity of treasures Including stuffed toys, doll dishes, letters and heaven knows what else. . . . Lge') most embarrassing moment : when we discovered Wednesdayafternoon liat a luncheon we thought was Thursday, happened TOdnesday instead. Mrs. Ivan Burton, who invited us to meet Mrs. MeredithOVilson, wife of the president of the Uni versity of Oregon, and her friend, Mrs. William Haseltine of Portland, said the right day but somehow it registered wrong. The. Wilsons and Haseltines came to southern Oregon to attendee Shakespearean plays and declared they were having a wonderful vacation. President and Mrs. Wilson were called home a day or so early, and Mrs. Wilson, gracious and friendly, accepted Potpourri's apologies over the telephone. Mrs. Burton kindly repeated iter invitation with the result that Potpourri and pappy dined with the JBurtons and Haseltines before the-two couples wen, off for the festival play, "Pericles" Friday night. The Haseltines, visiting the festival for the first time, are confirmed fans and decided the trip south m August must be an annual one. Mrs. H., at one time was a feature writer for the women's section of a Louisville, Ky.f newspaper and also has been North west representative and a reporter for Glamour magazine. We listened with appreciation and envy as she told about trying her hand at creative writing and how a play she wrote won a contest sponsored r the PorCand Civic theater and was produced. Based on the life of that colorful woman out of English history, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mrs. Haseltine called the play "The London Hussy." A literary gent encouraged her to rewrite and shorten the play, saying it had many possibilities. Later the evening turned into "old home week" when we discovered that as a boy Mr. Haseltine had lived in South Bend, Wash., on a few miles from PotpSurri's home town of Lebam, and that he is a relative of the Editor Haseltine of the South Bend .Journal for whom we wrote our first newspaper copy as a high school stigent. Photographer Kenn Knackstedt, busy iaking a picture at an Altrusa luncheon at the Country club Thursday noon, three or four times asked "the lady in the black blouse" to move her position, change the angle of her head, or look up, instead of down. Kenny K., who had never seen any of the women before and knew only that they were five females to be photographed, was at length satisfied and packed up his gear and left. It was jien that the "lady in the black blouse," who happened to ' be Freda Mowrey Cowling, club editor of the Oregonian, rose from her chair and remarked, "Now I know how my victims must feel." O.S. Bids Ae Opened for Renting Office Spam' Salem OB Twelve bids for 40, 000 square ffct of rental office space to house 410 scattered6 mo tor vehicle department employ ees were opened here Friday. The bids ranged from $3,200 a month to $7,600. John B-chardson, state fi nance director, said several weeks of study would be needed before a bid is accepted. At present, motor vehicle de "partment employees occupy of fices in the capitol building, the state office building and the pub lic service building. FISHES TROUBLED WATERS Miami W Novelist Ern est Hemingway, who lives on a ranch in the rural interior of Cuba, indicated Friday he is more interested in the fishing in Cuba than the political up risings. Hemingway returned to Cuba Friday night after stock ing up on fishing supplies. He said on his departure the Cuban political situation was not both ering him at all, and that he was doing a lot of fishing and generally "taking it easy." SCHWEITZER VISITS HOME Colmar, France flf) Dr. Al bert Schweitzer scheduled a trip to Zurich, Switzerland Sat urday to visit the grave of his wife Helene who died last June.

The resig nation of Eolv Harlow Schillios from the staff of Rep. Charles O. Porter was announced Fri day. The Eugenean has served as the Congressman's adminis trative aide. ' Schillios, a former Oregon newsman, plans to vacation fol lowing the adjournment of Con gress before accepting a new position. Rep. Porter credited his sur prise victory last fell in part to Schillios: "I speak with some feeling on this subject, for my campaign resources were sparse and I am the first Democrat to represent by area in 75 years. Without the devoted and able services of Mr. Schillios I doubt very much that I would have won." Schillios' byline was familiar in Northwest publications. He had 10 years newspaper experi ence, authored a book on Ore gon, won several journalism awards, and was a freelance writer-photographer before join ing the Porter-for-Congress staff in 1956. Chemise Dress Said Newest In Paris Autumn Collections Paris Emerging from all of the clothes chatter in Paris Is the word 'chemise," current-! ly being used by the fashion world to describe the season's newest dresses. They are entire ly simple in line, with just the barest suggestion of the figure beneath . . . mdhy at Balen ciaga, Givenchy and Dior fall straight and loose from the shoulder line, others are fitted in front and loose in back, still others have the barest indica tion of a waistline, often mark ed by seaming or set-on fabric belts. Necklines are most often plain and round, sleeves are tiny if used at all. The only other dresses in the news are those that by-pass the natural waistline (often with self fabric belts starting at the waist and curving downward) but still shape the body a bit. Dior showed some dresses with soft, semi-bloused tops caught in at the hips above tight skirts. Fabrics Twofold The fabric story is twofold this season. On one hand you have the vsoft touch" group, the smooth, sleek pile fabrics, velours, broadcloths, flannels and literally multitudes of crepes (satin back crepes, peb ble crepes, georgettes, as well as the Maharani and romaine types). On the other hand you have the rustic tweeds, nattes, serges, imitation hand knits with surfaces resembling classic knitting stitches, the "frankly homespun" look-into weaves. The elegant simplicity of the "chemise" has placed greater emphasis on dress fabrics than in many seasons. Fabrics are most often smooth to the touch and drape with supple fluid beauty, fabrics which are a skillfull blend of natural with man made fibers, combine the best attibutes of both. Typical of this group Is a beauteous two and a half ounce silk and acrilan textured chiffon developed by continental fabric designer Miki Sekers and used by many fashion maestros. Nattes, basket weaves, firm handle crepes, rustic tweeds all combining Acrilan acrylic fiber vith silk, wool and mohair are other lux urious mixtures which' have been designed by Miki Sekers for his haute couture fabric collection. , By night fabrics look newest when featherweight and sheer. Chiffons have a slightly crinkled surface for winter, some resemble a semi-sheer satin. Never before have there been so many gauzy fabrics in the collections every house has at least two or three ball gowns of nylon net or tulle. Matelesses, brocades, chiffon velvets, gros-grain and ottbman ribs and the usual magnificent warp print satins round out the evening dress fabric picture. Food Poisoning Food poisoning is more com mon in the summertime because Washington Takes Steps on Gas War Olympia Wl Attoriey General John J. O'Connell Saturday stepped into the gasoline price war raging in a wide area.5 O'Connell said his office would write letters to every licensed oil distributor in the state, warn ing them against violating state laws on unfair trade practices. He said he acted as a result of complaints alleging gasoline is being sold below cost and that some companies are conspiring to eliminate competition. He said several prosecuting attorneys in the state also had asked the as sistance of his office because "the matter is out of contra in their jurisdictions." of lack of proper refrigeration. Foods giving the most trouble are cream or custard-filled past ries, dishes with cream sauces, creamed dishes, meat and egg salads and cold sliced meats.
