Lindemood of Jacksonville is one woman who cheerfully admits her age. Mrs. Lindemood is 79, and doesn't mind if everyone knows. Working on the Lone Pine school picture page, Potpourri decided that Photographer Bob Vroman must have made a mistake with his dates, for his notes said Mrs. Lindemood had started to school at Lone Pine in 1883 and looking at the picture, we knew Mrs. L. just couldn't be that old. Over the phone Mrs. L. said she was, and that it wasn't any thing new for someone to argue that she just couldn't be "that old." Seems she joined a Medford church some time ago, and one of the staff members got in a car and drove over to Jacksonville to talk with the new member. Thought the records must be made out wrong. Mrs. Lindemood, who was Amy Wilson when she went to Lone Pine school, said she started to school when she was only four years old. The teacher invited her to visit one day, and Amy liked school so well she raised a fuss until they let her go every day. Old-timers at the 100th anniversary had fun talking about the days gone by. One woman recalled the "recitation benches" up near the teachers' desk. These were necessary because the one-room school would have all eight grades. When it was time for one grade to recite, the pupils went up front and sat on the recitation bench while others remained in their seats. Another one said that when she started to school, it was so crowded there wasn't an unoccupied desk and seat, so the teacher found a chair for her which she placed in an empty spot. Which reminded both of us that somehow or the other, the schools in Jackson county never seem to be able to catch up with the ex panding population. School wasn't run on a nine months basis in those days. Children attended for three months in the fall and for three months in the spring. In , mid-winter there wasn't any school and it was explained this was because the weather and roads were so bad. Schools had trouble with money in those days, too. Teachers sometimes had to live in first one home 6r another and were paid in "board and room" instead of cash. Lone Pine records show that the entire cash outlay the first year the school operated was only $104.68. Catching up on our reading in some back papers, Potpourri came across some opera news. The Oregonian in Portland reported that the Walker Treeces had gone to S.F. for the opening of the opera and had been impressed by the lavish display of gowns, jewels, fur and fine food. The Treeces (she is the former Jean Schuler of Medford) were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Stanton for the opera events, and dined at the St. Francis hotel with a group before going to the opening. Mrs. Treece visited with Mrs. Edgar Osgood during one of the intermissions, which opera patrons spend promenading in the huge halls and corridors, or at the bar. Mrs. Osgood, the former Nanette Holmes, and Mrs. T. were girlhood friends in Medford. A photographer from one of the S.F. papers snapped a picture of Jean, Nanette and a third feminine opera fan. When it was published the following day, Mrs. T. was amused to see that the society reporter had described her friends gowns, but since Mrs. T. was from that little place up in Oregon called Port land, had omitted any mention of what the Oregonian visitor had worn. Potpourri was reminded of the time Mrs. Dolph Phipps, in Portland for a PEO convention, was told by a Portland news paperwoman that she couldn't be included in a picture of the new state officers "because you aren't from Portland." Always to be found among the opening night opera throng in S.F. are Mrs. Nion Tucker and her daughter, Mrs. Tucker McEvoy. The two women and the latter's small son, Nion McEvoy, were at the Tucker's ranch near Prospect for most of the summer, leaving shortly after Labor day for California. Mrs. McEvoy, however, will spend the remainder of the year in Washington, D.C., having decided the nation's capital is an interesting city in which to make a home and raise her son. Potpourri thoroughly enjoyed a luncheon date with Nan a month or so ago, and her description of her work during the last presi dential campaign. Mrs. McEvoy supported Adlai Stevenson, long time friend of the Tucker family, and worked in the Democratic headquarters speakers' bureau. Mrs. McEvoy's astute comments on various personalities Potpourrf tucked away for future reference. Mrs. McEvoy spoke at length about Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, and her amazing ability to bear up under a grueling routine. She reported that the indefatigable Mrs.'R. never turned down a single speaking engagement if she believed she was really needed, accepted the most complicated traveling schedules without a murmur and day after day was hurrying to and fro across the nation by every manner of conveyance in order to keep her engagements In the party's behalf. She said Mrs. Roosevelt never complained, and was always friendly, smiling and cooperative. "She's absolutely terrific" was Mrs. McEvoy's admiring comment. t One scandalized neighbor of the Fred Carrs thought for a time last Saturday that Philip - Johrison Jr., had gone on his .honey moon without his pretty bride. Dr. G. A. Gitzen.-who has lived next door to the Carrs for almost a year, didn't realize that Isobel, the bride, and Carolyn, her younger sister, weren't one and the same. Dropping in at the Carrs the evening of the wedding day and finding a girl he presumed to be the bride still with her parents, the perturbed Dr. Gitzen took Seth Bullis, another neighbor, aside and wanted to know what went on. Surprised, was Dr. G. to find that the Carrs have two pretty daughters, and not just one.

He lives in a world where women take over jobs once strictly his. He is turned into cook, dishwasher and baby-sitter at home. Now comes word that he is due for a clothing reformation, at the hands of us females. Who says so? The American Institute of Men's and Boy's Wear, Inc., whose 3,000 members represent manufacturers mills and retailers. ". . . Most women are today sufficiently alarmed about the way their husbands dress to want to do something about it," the institute said. It reached this conclusion from a survey of 100 women's and fashion editors of newspapers. The institute said it turned to the women for its latest study on men's clothing tastes and habits because "they reflect the opinions of millions of readers from cities, as well as suburbs and farms." The wives may be "alarm ed," but apparently they're also partly to blame if hubby is dow dy instead of dapper. The insti tute concluded from results of Crocheted Toys 7276 the study, released today, that "80 to 90 per cent of the Ameri can wives play a leading role in selecting the clothing of their husbands and sons." Women Superior The men's wear group also decided that most wives believe their judgment in style, fit and color is superior to that of their husbands; a few gave man his due. "When I see a man who is careless about his appearance, clothes in particular, I immedi ately wonder how his wife dresses and what condition his home is in," said one editor. "The scarcity of well-groomed husbands is appalling," said another. Some 88 per cent of the edi tors say wives are convinced husbands would get farther in their jobs, if they paid more attention to their clothing. ". . . Being well dressed has opened more doors to business than a Phi Beta Kappa key," said one Southern newspaperwoman. The women really get going in the gripes department. Num ber one complaint: the pattern- and-color blind male who pays no attention to coordinating his ties, socks, shoes and shirt. "Most men seem congenitally color - blind," said . a fashion editor. In Their Opinion Equally annoying were the men who neglect haircuts, fail to keep shoes shmed, have dirty fingernails, shirts with frayed collars and cuffs, collars open and ties askew, scatter clothing on chairs and the floor rather than hang it, and declare a mora torium on shaving for the weekend. Some complained about the men who wear belts when their bay window construction calls for suspenders. Others, about the "sameness" of man's dress. Where is this reformation to start? The institute said several edi- Tribu?

One editor suggested schools forbid teen age boys from attending class in dungarees and tee-shirts. "Then they wouldn't mature into careless dressers as hus bands," she said.
