Spinster Justice Says
Parents Need Firm Hand
By ROBERT VAN BUSKIRK
United Press Correspondent
Vale, Ore. HP) A spinster
justice of the peace advocates
a firm hand with a razor strap
to disenchant juveniles-Jawbreakers.
Judge Mary Graham had a
few sharp words to say abou?
pampering parents, whose mo
ments of distress come after
their children get into trouble
with the law.
"If they had allowed them
selves to become disturbed
enough to apply the razor
strop at the appropriate time,
they wouldn't be troubled
about their kids later," she
said in an interview.
She advocated a firm hand
at an early age. She said she
was not suggesting paddling
as a regular thing, but that
parents ought to discipline
their children at least to the
I extent of inculcating respect
for their elders.
O "Nowadays the children, in
many cases, are raising the
parents," said Miss Graham.
"There seems to be a com
plete lack of parental guid
ance in the home."
Early Start Needed
Asked if she thought that
the razor strop ought to be
used when the youngsters
reach teenage stage, Miss Gra
ham replied that she saw no
reason why it wouldn't be
effective. However, "she said
a late start after neglect in
theHarly years might not (pro
duce results.
"Iv'some cases it would be
like throwing water on a
duck's back," the judge added.
Miss Graham continued that
"public censure is one of the
strongest weapons against
teenage offenders." 0
"I have rifevgr approved of
keeping their names out of
the paper because of humilia
tion," she said. "And often,
public humiliation might
awaken parents to their par
ental responsibilities."
The judge also favors legis
lation which would make par
ents responsible for the acts
of their children, and even
subject them to penalties.
ShtQeels that parents would
be more aware of their young
sters' activities if they knew
they would answer for ftiy
trouble involving their chil
dren. How come, the magistrate
is giving advice about rearing
children, when she remains
single;
"Thank God I'm single,"
she snapped, "if I couldn't do
a better job than some mod
ern parents."

Style-Conscious Wife iid Safety Hazard
Mrs. Una Inch, who will retire soon as assistant super-H
intendent of county schools, has been honored a number
of times recently. - Since Potpourri has 0 known Mrs. Inch
for a long time,we veriStare to say that one honor she re
ceived recently" impressed her very much. She was a guest
at the annual Parents' tea of the Jackson County Special
Education class, and was presented a cake. 0
This was no ordinary cake. It was made by one of the
boys at the school, Johnny Wilson of Central Point, who
had competed with other classmates in making the best
confection for Mrs. Inch, and had won. The cake represented
a play ground and a little red schoolhouse. The playground,
of chocolate frosting, was complete Tvith slides and teeter-
totters made from DaDer straws and foil, there were trees
and flowers, and a lrttla American flag flew from the topQ
of the red schqplhuaa a
Potpourri d"i4t s&a ICrs. Inch's caks but we know how
to describe ft baeaa Jc&a&y, wh& be heard that the
Tribfcne was interas want ta wor& ajud made a duplicate
which he sent doyu to Uaa njws rs by a friend, Mrs4
Vlargret Crumpacker. And the cake wae thoroughly en
joyed down to the last bit at red schoolhouse frosting.
o
Pappy and Potpourri spent last Sunday with a jaunt to
South Umpqua Falls in the Tiller area. The pleasures of the
day-included a slight family 'argument, Pappy maintaining
that the two of us had traveled over the Tiller-Trail road
at least once befoft and Potpourri equally sure that we
hadn't. Q ' 0
At any rate the day turned out well; the weather was
warm and bright, we found several interesting wild flowers
to photograph, identified a tree new to Potpourri and thor
oughly enjoyed seeing the beautiful South Umpqua Sriver
and the falls, theCSalls tuning out to be completely differ
ent than anything we'd seen before.
The water at the falls actually doesn't "fall" very far
but instead is spread out over an odd rock formation in a
gently curving sheet which ripples and shimmers and doesn't
appear to be very deep or swift. Hcwever, at one side there
is a bowl-shaped hole into which the water does fall with
theOcharacteristic roar and" rumble of other water falls. A
fish ladder has been constructed at the side near the bowl,
but although the Jwo of us watched for quite some time, we
saw no fish. Two men also watching said they had not seen
any fish using the ladder, but that they both had caught
their limit down stream. Q
O The South Umpqua is a beautiful stream there are
many spots of "white water" and some small rapids; the
vegetation is lush and green. Last Sunday the wild lilacs and
the wild roses were both in bloom, a joyful sight. The road
sides were also bright with hundreds of clumps of the small
yellow daisies which some call Oregon sunshine, we saw
many white daisies, several clumps of low, pink flowers
which we ouldn't find in the wild flower book, a larger
yellows daisy new to both of us and three or four clumps
of a bluish-purple flower identical to some growing in the
yard at home and which all these years we'd called aubretia.
This was the first time we'd ever found it growing in the
woods; we couldn't find it in the wild flower book, either,
so now all is confusion.
One thing we did identify for sure canyoh live oak.
The one from which we picked a sprig was small and shrulg)
like, but according to the Extension service bulletin we
consulted, it accommodates itself to the location if the
tree has room it sometimes grows as high as 80 feet. The
bulletin calls the live oak a "split personality," because it
has two kinds of leaves on the same tree, one leaf looking
rather like holly and the other smooth edged. The tree is an
evergreen hence the name "live" oak.
o
Sunday's trip sent us browsing in McArthur's "Oregon
Geographic Names." This authority gives no background for
the name Umpqua except that it is Indian, but does
point out the various ways of spelling. The different spellings,
include Umptqua, Umquah, Imp-qua, and Umkwa, as well
as the Umpqua now in general usage.
A sign on one of the creeks which flows into the South
Umpqua says "Coffee Pot Creek." However, McArthur lists
only a creek by this name in Lane county and refers to the
one in Douglas county as being merely Coffee Creek. He
adds that according to some authorities, it was named by
miners in 1858 "because of some joke about a coffee pot."
Chicago (IP) A style
conscious housewife can be a
safety hazard at work in the
home, O. L. Hogsett, Univer
sity of Illinois safety special
ist says.
A "safe" home dress, he
said, should not be a fire
hazard and sHould not catch
on- knobs and handles.
Chances of falling are in
creased when skirts are too
narrow or too full. A mqder
ately full, gathered skirt gen
erally gives enough room for
kneeling and stooping.
The housewife with a bent
toward the glamorous in
clothes would do herself a
favor by avoiding long sashes,
ties and generally frilly ac
cessories, Hogsett said.
Sleeves also can be a haz
ard if they are too full, too
wide or too long.
And, he warned, avoid us
ing a corner of a dress or
apron as a pot-holder.
