u O o TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, December 8, 1857 IP il p o m r ir 5. It's a pretty poor holiday season when Potpourri doesn't come across at least a couple of new recipes, and we've already started this season. Thursday we had luncheon'with the Red Cross chapter board, and the delicious menu provided by the canteen corps included a cranberry salad molded in the shape of red crosses. Mrs. Allen B. Drury, corps members, said it is one of her favorites. She grinds the raw cranberries with apple and orange, adds sugar and lets the mixture stand for a few days to allow the flavors to blend. When ready to make the salad she uses a cherry gelatine base and adds ihe cranberry mixture, along with pineapple chunks, a bit of chopped celery; some like a few wal nuts, too. With the canteen volunteers serving such fine luncheons in the new) Red Cross building, attendance at board meetings will probably soar. Almost 40 were at the meeting Thursday. Mrs. Ernst Ruegger and Mrs. Drury, corps co-chairmen for cooking and serving, were assisted last week by Mrs. Howard Beeler, Mrs. George Roberts and Mrs. Frank Ross. Mrs. C. E. Mclntyre and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert E. Mclntyre, have taken on the job of marketing for the canteen. Thursday Mrs. Martin Luther and Mrs.. J. E. Russell, along with the corps chairman, Mrs. Grace Fiero, decorated with bright red candles and holly 6prays. c O This week the women will make scores of sandwiches and cookies for the after-donation snack for those who give blood during the visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile. The canteen vol unteers know that by working together on such tasks as luncheons and Bloodmobile snacks, they will be better trained for emergen cies. John Pettley, Englishman who spoke for Knife and Fork clubs in the dlley last week, expressed amazement over the number of clubs and organizations in the United States. Potpourri, some thing of an authority on this subject, bets that he doesn't know the Tialf of it. Mr. Pettley thought that the Earthworm Growers' as sociation of Monrovia,. Calif., was real amusing. Everybody else is organized in this country, why not the men and women who raise earthworms? Very useful creatures, earthworms. The Englishman-Uirned-American also said he found headlines and advertising copy in newspapers interesting, if not downright bewildering. He gave as an example an advertisement which said the screen of a certain television set was "21 big inches" and commented "Don't tell me that even the inches are bigger in the U.S. than in England." CHis prize exhibit is a headline which he found in one of the first copies of an American newspaper which he attempted to read. The headline said "Cards Drub Cubs Gain on Idle Bums." After consulting the dictionary for the meaning of cards, drub, cubs and bums, the newly-arrived Englishman was more confused than ever. Potpourri chatted with Mrs. Melvin Lattie last week, who said she was glad the eastern snow storm had held off until after her departure for home. Mrs. Lattie spent a month in Connecti cut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York and at Thanks giving time enjoyed a family reunion at the home of her mother, Mrs. Carlos Ellis, who lives near Springfield, Mass. Mrs. L. saw "Most Happy Fella" on Broadway and found it delightful. She also spent a day at Wellesley college, her alma mater, and had fun visiting old haunts. Two Medf ord sisters, Mrs. Fred L. Ryde and Mrs. Harry Cole, are having a wonderful time this year planning Christmas to gether. The Coles lived in Pullman, Wash., for almost 40 years and came to Medford to live last summer after Mr. Cole, chemistry professor at Washington State college, retired. Mr. Cole is also a retired Army colonel, having served in both World War I and II. Mrs. Ryde and Mrs. Cole, who posed for today's picture page, both enjoy handwork. Mrs. Ryde has painted name plates for all her grandchildren, and makes large Christmas decorations for the front door every year, using bicycle paint. Mrs. Cole does cut work embroidery has made tablecloths and many other pieces, and displayed a beautiful hand-crocheted tablecloth for Potpourri. Seth (Saturday) Bullis offered the chuckle-of-the-day when he came to The Tribune newsroom yesterday for his weekly chat and cup of coffee. Mr. B. received a notice in the mail from an organization which informed its membership that "speakers of providence" had been secured for the coming season's program. OS. Doctor's Role in Adoptions ic of Washington Session directed to medical students. They agreed that doctors now in practice and the general public also need to know more about what should be expected of the doctor in adoption. Conferees developed the first draft of a statement outlining the functions which the doctor should perform. It will be re viewed by them before it is made public. Children's Bureau offi cials hope the final statement will be widely accepted by medi cal groups. The conference is one of three which the Children's Bureau has planned to clarify the role of the doctor, the social worker and the attorney in adoptions. A conference with social work ers was held last May, as the re sult of which a statement on their role is now being prepared, Mrs. Oettinger said. A similar conference is planned early next year with attorneys. A joint state ment on the role of the three pro fessions will then be issued, she said. Top Washington, D.C. The role of the doctor in adoptions was dis cussed in a two-day conference recently held by the Children's Bureau, headed by Mrs. Kath erine B. Oettinger, chief. Attending the conference were doctors with specialties in psy chiatry, fcstetrics, pediatrics, as well as hospital administrators, internists, general practitioners and public health workers. Mrs.' Oettinger said the doctors were called in to advise the bu reau in the formation of a state ment of policy which would out line the ways in which the doctor can serve most effectively in dis charging both his direct, and in direct medical responsibilities in adoption. She pointed out that the in creasing emphasis on early adop tion placed additional responsi bilities on members of the medi cal profession. Participants in the conference stressed the need to include ma terial on the proper role of the doctor in adoption in the courses - -. 4& 0 4 EVERY GIFT LIST . .
