e ; Local Apricot
'. Crop Said Light
Valley housewives wishing
' to obtain apricots grown lo
; cally should place their orders
at once, accordingo Don Ber
. ry, county extension agent in
horticulture. Mr. Berry states
that the local crop is light due
to spring frosts, brown rot dis
' ease and hail damage.
In most cases the quality if
pretty good" the agent states.
He predicted that prices will
be slightly higher than in past
years, with som growers
charging about 12 cents per
pound.
'. . Mr. Berry added that apri
cots from other areas have
been in good supply and of
q reasonable good quality. For
'. that reason, there is no real
shortage of the fruit expected

Socialite
Not Acting
'For Kick'
By GAY'PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York Dina Merrill in
tends to show the world she
was born with the acting
spark in her makeup as well
as the silver spoon in her
mouth.
"I'm dead serious; I'm not a
'socialite' who is acting for
kicks. It makes me angry
when I'm accused of that,"
said Miss Merrill, who doesn't
need to act for money either.
In terms of career, Dina
pronounced Deen-uk Merrill
migrated from modeling for
slick fashion magazines to
little theater to Broadway to
television and finally to the
movies, aided and abetted not
only with that ambition for
acting but also with a patri
cian beauty. She is tail, blonde
and has a stunning figure.
Mother of Three
In real life, she is the so
cially prominent Mrs. Stanley
Rumbough Jr., of New York,
mother of two boys and a girl,
ages five to 11. Her husband
is president of a couple of
manufacturing companies.
On her father's side she is
a Hutton, a cousin of million
airess -Barbara. Her mother
is Mrs. Merriwether Post May,
Washington social leader, who
has all those cereal millions.
"So that's why I changed
my name for. the stage," she
said. "It's just Kke Gloria Van.
derbilt says, producers never
take us seriously, If anything,
being what you call a socialite
is a handicap, you have to
work twice as hard.
Some columnist once wrote
that if she wanted to, Dina
Merrill could buy 20th Cen
tury Fox. That's ridiculous.
"I've wanted to be an ac
tress since. . .well, since I was
in the first grade I guess. If I
live to be 90 I'll still feel the
same way. .
No Committee Lady
"Some of my set look on
me as an oddity, but I wasn't
cut out to be one of those com
mittee lady types." -
She added, however, that
she does try to do "my share"
of charity and welfare work,
and is the fifth generation of
the Rumbough family to serve
on the board of the New York
City Mission society.
The actress has just fin
ished her second movie for
Fox, a comedy called "A Nice
Little Bank That Should Be
Robbed," in which she co-stars
with Tom Ewell and Mickey
Rooney.
Her movie and television
work has made her a trans
continental commuter.
"But I try to be away from
home as little as possible," she
said. "I fly back even on a
weekend break."

CHILDREN'S NEEDS!
IP.ttp.imiPipi
Several years back when the writer of this column first
started "filing" clippings, Pappy suggested that maybe we
should move ihem out to the barn there just didn't seem
room in the house for everything. We took the hhat and tried
to be more orderly and even came to the point where we
threw away a few a drastic move for us. "Filing" is a
polite term for the several folders we' keep labeled
variously as "column copy," or "to read", or "save" or
"ideas."
" We have clippings about food, art, fashions, religion,
politics, music, and a dozen other subjects. Naturally, when
writing on any of these subjects we can seldom ever find
the most interesting or informative of the clippings. They
turn up the next week when we are writing about something
else. .
Today we glanced in the back bedroom, which is no
longer a bedroom but Potpourri's second office, and the
sight of the room brought on the firm resolve to throw away
part of the accumulation. We spent an hour sorting through
two files of clippings, letters, memos, pamphlets, etc., and
threw away three sheets of paper. " " ' C '
One of the pieces of paper we didn't throw away was a
letter from George L. Haff, Gold Hill, correcting a statement
in a story about his recent birthday celebration. (Which'
Potpourri didn't write, honest.) Anyhow, Mr., Haff said he
was 91 years old on June 14, but corrected the statement
that President .James Abram Garfield was assassinated on
that day in 1881. President Garfield was assassinated July 2,
1881, not on June 14, Mr. Haff wrote. Mr. Haff said news
papers should be careful not to publish incorrect information.
He adde"d the interesting statement that "91 years has pro
duced a skin like an elephant hide ... the old world can
whirl as fast as it desires, it is nothing to me." . ,., - -
Believe it or not, Mr. Haff, most newspaper reporters
do work very hard at getting only correct statements into
print, but you have no idea how hard it is, sometimes. And
how time-consuming it would be to stop and check on every
single bit of information sent to the paper such as the
date when President Garfield was assassinated. Sometimes
the repercussions from errors in print are pretty dis
couraging, if not downright frightening. Those are the times
we wish we had, like Mr. Haff, "a skin like an elephant
hide."
Of course, there are those who might well believe that
newspapers are just filled with mistakes. Take the Don
Gerens of Eagle Point, for instance. Don and Pat Geren can
hardly remember when "Geren" came out right. (That
cracking noise was Potpourri crossing Tier fingers.) They
get spelled all wrong, and last time Mrs. G. went to party,
the Tribune reported her as Mrs. Garrett.
".
"But back to the clippings. The file on fashions begins
to look interesting. Pal Peg clipped one of Sylvia Porter's
columns in which she analyzed fashions for fall saying that
skirts are going up to the knee, the waistline up under the
bosom and that necklines for evening and cocktail wear
will "plunge." She predicted that the trapeze and trumpet
shapes will be top fashion and that colors and prints will be
spectacular. Since Miss Porter is a business and financial
analyst, she predicted unhesitatingly that the clothing and
accessory business this fall will be great.
- Because so much more of the feminine leg will be show
ing,, the stocking takes on added importance. Shades will
continue dark gray, black, navy, etc. Because all hems
will have to be taken up, thread and tape business will in
crease and the' dressmaker and tailor will be busy. Miss
Porter concludes that "just about every dress in your ward
robe will be out of date." It will also be fashionable to have
"outfits" with matching gloves, hats, purse and shoes,
and she quoted one shoe buyer as "exulting" that women
would need new shoes for every single- "outfit." Oh yes,
beads are continuing popular, and the designers are puting
fur on everything.
All of this will make the manufacturers and the whole
salers and the retailers very happy, but it makes Potpourri
gloomy. Sounds like a conspiracy, it does. For the first time
in many years we'd reached the stage where our wardrobe
was beginning to be almost adequate and now it seems we're
supposed to start all over again. And women will.
' Already the advertisements begin to prove that Miss
Porter is correct. Pal Peg gave up a clipping from the New
York Times. It advertised "sumptuous sweaters white
mink or fox heaped on cashmere." One sold for $150, another
for $200.
The file on fashions also produced an article by Olga
Curtis, quoting Larry Aldrich, New York dress manu
facturer, who is credited with convincing the rest of the in
dustry that this was the time to change fashions. He thought
women were bored with the small, fitted waist line and
isn't worried about the. resistance movement. -Every major
fashion change causes a battle, he says, and added that "you
can't change the course of fashion any more than you can
change the course of Niagara Falls with a spoon." And Mr.
Aldrich concluded the interview with this: "Men like the
shorter fashion. They are bored with the blatant over
emphasis on bosoms."
But enough of fashion we're bored with fashion
period. We turn now to Charles Brower, president of Batten,
Barton, Durstine and Osborne, who said some mighty strong
words in a recent speech before the National Sales Execu
tive club in Washington, D.C. (And quoted in "Dateline,"
publication of the National Association of Manufacturers.)
This is "the great era of the goof -off, the age of the
half-done job" according to Mr. Brower. "The land from
coast to coast has been enjoying a stampede away from re
sponsibility. It is populated with laundryman who won't iron
shirts, with waiters who won't serve, with carpenters who
will come around some day, maybe . . . with students who
take cinch courses because the hard ones make them think
. . . The Russians are doing a wonderful job as the Bar
barians in our modern historical drama. But we are outdoing
them in our superlative imitation of Rome . . . We have got
to work, or a stronger nation will put us to work!" O.S.

can 'be fun all year around,
but" pedal pushing ; probably
approaches its peak during
the summer months. Not only
is there freedom from school,
with an increased opportunity
for recreation there are also
many summer jobs to .be. had
near home,- and youngsters
often use their bikes coming
and going'to work."
Thus the arrival " of July
and August would seem to
call for greater awareness of
the need .for bicycle safety,
by the motorist and the bike
rider and . by parents, sug
gests the Institute of Life In
surance. - : : A
There are some 25 million
bicyclists in the United States,
of all ages, sizes and . shapes.
The records for last year how
53,000 injuries caused by col
lisions with bicycles,, a frac
tion of all the injuries that
were counted up during 1957.
And, despite all the falls and
other . accidents, serious as
they may have been, relative
ly few fatalities occurred
during the year. -1
However, since most of
these tragedies took place in
one small group of individu
als 'children between the
ages of five and 14 indica
tions are that a great deal
can bed one within the family
to improve bicycle safety.
Some of the accident-prevention

set themselves the goal of su
pervising a child's bike riding
until they feel he understands
the rules of the road and can
follow traffic regulations. A
solo bike rider is responsible
for keeping to the right, obey
ing traffic lights and stop
signs, giving hand signals,
and knowing what to do when
he sees a car pulling out a
driveway or parking space
just ahead of him.
With the growing popular
ity of bicycle riding there
are more bikes around today
than in the Gay Nineties
has come greater emphasis on
safe cycling from a multitude
of organizations.: Among
them are life insurance com
panies, men's and women's
community groups, farm
groups, law enforcement
agencies as well as so vital
ly interested an association as
the Bicycle Institute of Amer
ica.- -
Many Programs
: These organizations ham
mer home safety in various
ways. A life insurance com
pany makes wide distribution
to schools, of a motion picture
on safe biking to be viewed
by students. A parent-teacher
association sponsors a safety,
program to remind father and
mothers that bicycle safety is
chiefly a home responsibility.
A police department obtains
a local law requiring bicycles
to be licensed, with the au
thorities empowered to re
voke a license if a youngster
continues , to disregard the
traffic laws. A Bicycle Court
is set up within the commu
nity, to deal with violators;
high school seniors are ap
pointed to act as judge and
jury members.
A men's organization such
as the Optimist Club in a
community sponsors a . Bike
Safety Week, so that town
children can observe correct
riding methods and good bi
cycle . maintenance. Public
safety officials, together with
teams of police and bicycle
repairmen, announce a community-wide
inspection pro
gram to ferret out danger
spots on bicycles loose and
worn parts, and defective
brakes. In a Western commu
nity, the Boy Scouts, police
and civil defense authorities
join hands in conducting a
rousing Bike Rodeo to empha
size bicycle inspections and
riding skill.
- Over the years the activi
ties of these groups have un
doubtedly helped parents in
their efforts to establish good
cycling habit in their chil
dren, and in keeping accidents
down.
