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
