Grat Advantage Og of the greatest advantages of a city-county library system such as that we have in Jackson county by contract with the Medford Public library is this pooling of books, making more books available to all .readers. Small community libraries are not limited to a thousand books or so which they ?nay be able to afford but have for their use the entire 40,000 volumes own ed by the county system. Other advantages are elimination of duplication in books and in serv ices, reduction of the pst of library service, and the avail ability of professional leadership in administration, reference rervift, and cataloging. In short, a county library divides costs znd multiplies benefits. A total of 76 books of the 206 books added to the library . but yH knew ye'v found th fcMf one you'v xprind hm fttriN hvtriog V tian your family's wardrobu mi4 iMwrifuRy finish eh garment with our nationally aVarrlsad STA'NU prauss.

RIVERSIDE MEDFORD, OREGON Serving the Rogue Valley for Over 50 Years! According to Baron Hans de Meiss-Teuffen, Potpourri would be right in style in the Belgian Congo. The amusing and entertain ing native of Switzerland, who talked for Knife and Fork club in Medford Thursday night, jerked us into the limelight during his speech by pointing a finger at Potpourri's hair ornaments. Native men in the Belgian Congo acquire bright yellow pencils they are especially fond of them if they have red erasers and wear them in their hair as ornaments, "just like that woman over there," he said. Which was me. At the time our hair ornaments were ebony sticks with inlay of mother-of-pearl. However, we have worn pencils as ornaments first decorating them with red nail polish. They come in mighty handy, stuck in the editorial bun. The Baron, who doesn't use his title at home only in America where the inhabitants living in a democracy are impressed with titles was bubbling over with details of his adventures hither and yon. And ideas, too. He says Americans are the most mis understood people in the world, thanks to Hollywood movies distributed abroad and avidly watched all over the world; says we shouldn't bother to teach our children foreign languages, since English is spoken all over the world anyhow, but should teach them more history and geography; says the Western nations should quit having "family quarrels which profit only the Com munists"; should have a tougher policy about how our foreign aid monies are expended and should quit believing that all "dis coveries" are really discoveries. To illustrate this last statement he told about hiring a witch doctor to make it rain on his plantation in the Belgian Congo. After proper haggling and bargaining over the price, the native went to work. He took a good look over the area which needed the water, found the approximate center and built a small fire. When he had a tiny column of smoke ascending sky-ward he took some black crystals from a pouch and sprinkled them on the fire. The Baron said that while he watched a heavy black smoke rose from the fire, mushroomed over the plantation and shortly thereafter the first drops of rain fell. And then it rained "hard for 17 minutes by the Baron's fine Swiss watch.. Who says the primitives can learn so much from the civilized races, the Baron wants to know. While talking about all the wild game in the Belgian Congo the Baron passed on his favorite manner of cooking venison. Soak it in peanut oil for a day or so, and then fry it quickly on a hot fire until almost charred on the outside, were his instructions. The meat will be moist, tender, and have a fine nut-like flavor, he declared. Which might interest the A. L. Bowmans, just back last Sun day from an elk-hunting trip near Pendleton. The Bowmans made the trip with Leonard Yost, and the E. F. Burrills of Pros pect. Mrs. B. reports that the weather was mostly fair, the scenery beautiful and that the campers, equipped with cozy tents, with heating and cook stoves even ovens for hot biscuits had a wonderful time. When the Bowmans returned, the F. W. Biggers left to join the Burrills who had remained. When Mrs. Bowman sounded a little guilty about how com fortable they had been while "roughing it," Potpourri told her not to worry. We know another group of Medford hunters who even took a light plant along to the Wallowa mountains. This group not only had cook stoves, but electric lights and television. Changing Times, the Kiplinger magazine, says right out loud in the October issue that many American families can't afford to own the cars they are driving. "A great many families, unaware of what it costs to own a car, are finding that car expenses cause sacrifices and economies elsewhere in the budget," says Changing Times. The actual cost of owning a new car, says the editors, is about $775 a year if driven 5,000 miles, and about $952 a year if driven 10,000 miles. This means "that only an above-average income family can drive its car 10,000 miles a year without seriously lowering its standard of living," the editors say. The magazine doesn't stop with this, but goes on to outline exactly how a family can keep track of car expenses, tells what to count and how, how to figure depreciation, etc. The article is entitled "Is Your Car Keeping You Broke?" All of which makes -Potpourri hang her head in shame. For years Pappy has been scolding us about keeping car records, and we start out with good intentions, but somehow we always fall by the wayside. Potpourri went picture-taking last Saturday at the Country club, and enjoyed seeing the beautiful gowns. One hostess, Mrs. Scott Davis, wore elegant black with a filmy stole, and another one, Mrs. Frank Fairweather, was in cafe au lait lace with a unique bolero. The other two hostesses both wore white, Mrs. Martin Sands' gown being faille with rhinestone trim, and Mrs. Lester Adams taffeta with a long blue stole. The Fairweathers' daughter, Chloe, wore a smart black velvet frock. The Al Littrells came down from Salem, where Representative Littrell is em broiled in the legislature's tax troubles, in order to attend the dinner and Mrs. L. wore her favorite black with fashionable little pointed-toe red satin pumps and party purse to match. O.S. Bean Salad , Combine Blue Lake green beans, whole kernel corn, celery, onion and pimento- with French dressing. Serve in crisp lettuce cups to accompany savory pot roast and browned potatoes, or as a vegetable dinner salad. Raisin Muffins Like, your raisins chopped in muffins? Put them in the electric blender with the milk, egg and shortening, and turn on for a few seconds. Pour into the flour mix ture, and a quick stir makes muffins ready for the pan. Quick Salad Chilled cling peach halves filled with chopped celery moist ened with mayonnaise make a quick dinner salad. A bit of in stant minced onion with the celery adds zesty flavor.
