flower show school which the district has conducted over
taw past three years.

Statisticians come up with a lot of interesting conclusions.
The latest one brought to our attention said that Mr. and
Mr America buy something on time, haggle over how much
month to pay on it, and then sign the papers without
; bothering to find out how many months they are supposed
to "pay. We forget the exact percentages, but an alarming
number when questioned didn't know for how many months
their time payments were running.
Now comes one Philip C. Wallwork, an official of the
Automobile Legal association, one of the nation's largest
automobile clubs, and declares that people start on vacations
without knowing exactly where it is they are going, how
lar away the place is, and how to get there.
Writing from Boston, Mr. Wallwork says that almost
every week some Bostonian asks for road directions to
California and is then amazed to find that it will probably
take him more than the normal two-week vacation to drive
there and back. According to Mr. W. the Bostonian would
have to average 450 miles a day for 14 days to get to
California from Boston and back again.
Westerners are just as bad, however. It seems a lot of
vacationers living in Los Angeles decide to drive to San
Francisco (405 miles) over the week end and to "drop. by"
-Yosemite National park. They' don't bother to find out that
the trip from the main road to the park entrance and return
is 176 miles and the scenic part of the park is 25 miles
beyond the entrance.
Mr. Wallwork tells this story as a classic example of a
i poorly planned vacation. Last summer a man dropped into
the association office to ask directions to Bella Coola, where
he had been told the fishing was excellent. His car was
packed, loaded with gas, and he had plans to spend two
weeks at the spot. He was chagrined to find that there are
no roads to Bella Coola. To reach it requires a seaplane trip
across the Hecate Straits from Queen Charlotte island in
British Columbia.
Vice President Richard M. Nixon likes cottage cheese
with catsup in it. Anyhow, that's what a release from the
; Borden company says. An enterprising writer for the Borden
public relations department started the release by writing
: "Once upon a time there was a little boy who wouldn't eat
cottage' cheese. So his grandmother coaxed him1' by mixing
cottage cheese and catsup, and serving a handsome rosy dish
with a tantalizing new flavor."
Mr. Nixon himself told the story at a National Food con-
ference in Washington. He didn't give mixing directions, but
the public relations expert did.. She said that the home
economists recommend "using the newer small curd cheese
instead of the old-time country style" and that along with
the catsup, a teaspoon or two of chutney or curry, celery
or onion salt, is good. Now where did she get the idea that
old-style cottage cheese had a large cud? When Potpourri
. was a young and skinny child in Pacific county, Washington,
mother often made cottage cheese, it was quite dry, the
curd was very small, and it had a decided sharp, sour flavor
which we still think is much superior to the milder com
mercial cottage cheese, which one buys now. Softened with
a bit of sweet cream so it would cling together and covered
generously with black pepper, it was a tasty dish, particularly
. when served on a warm summer day with wilted lettuce
as an accompaniment. And tossed with the lettuce, grown in
. the family garden, of course, would be bits of crisp bacon,
thin slices of rod radishes, chopped bits of green onion
and perhaps a bit of cucumber. Nobody had to coax us to
eat cottage cheese, or wilted lettuce, or fresh wild black-
. berry pie, or warm, fresh bread with slathers of spicy apple
; butter, or baked beans with hot brown bread, or anything
; mother cooked, for that matter. And it's still that way. No
- one has to coax us to eat
An interesting chat with Mrs. Francis Hughes a few days
tgo brought out the fact that Potpourri is behind the times
-hen it comes to dental practices. Mrs. H., a dental assistant,
said that a form of hypnosis is being used on patients by
dentists throughout the nation, including a number in
Medford. The dentists report that hypnosis works particu
larly well in calming some children who have a great fear
of the dentist.
The conversation also brought out the news that medical
doctors are experimenting in the field of hypnosis as a
means of keeping overweight patients on their diets. Ponder
ing over this we decided that a dentist might possibly
hypnotize us long enough to drill on a tooth, but we gravely
doubt that any form of hypnosis would keep us from eating.
The warm May weather has been delightful, but it has
brought the blossoms out with such rapidity that we haven't
had enough time to enjoy them to the fullest. The iris
seemed particularly lovely this -year, but this morning we
noticed that ours are almost through blooming, and we've
been too' busy to really see them.
There never seems to be time, either, to visit the gardens
of others. Last week the Singlers who live at 27 Rose avenue
called to say that a wild azalea in their garden is particularly
beautiful now. Mr. Singler believes that the bush may be the
largest of this variety growing in the city, and we agreed
that the perfume of the native azalea is one of the most
intriguing of all flower odors. O.S.

Veteran Grou
Plans- For Sale
Immediate . aid to the dis
abled and needy veteran and
their dependents is just one
of the many uses to be made
of proceeds from the annuai
sale of "buddy poppies" to be
sponsored May 23 and 24 by
Crater Lake post, Veterans
of Foreign Wars, and auxil
iary, the poppy chairman,
Mrs. Russell Zundel said to
day. .
Another important use of
the poppy funds is. the VFW
rehabilitation service through
which VFW service officers
assist veterans in adjudication
of claims for compensation,
pension and other benefits
from the Veterans Adminis
tration, Commander William
Watkins pointed out.
"Millions of buddy poppies
sold throughout the nation
this year will help solve the
problem of rehabilitation
and useful citizenship for
those who sacrificed the most
to preserve our country,"
Commander Watkins said.
"Our service Officers are
familiar with government
benefits for veterans and
their dependents. They fur
nish expert advice and coun
cil free of charge when given
power of attorney. Unsnarl
ing of insurance claims, help
ing survivors obtain terminal
pay when the veteran dies.
and all other cases of veter
ans rights have increased
tremendously since World
War II and the Korean con
flict," he declared.
"We feel that every loyal
American will want to do his
part to make life easier for
those who gave . so much;
They will have - that chance
on May 23 and .24 when bud
dy poppies will go on . sale
here in Medford." '
