There are no pictures on the wall, no windows, doors or covering on the floor, but it's a pretty and neat little "room."

This is one of the camping areas at Harris Beach State park near Brookings. The pleasant young man who came last night to take our dollar and register us said there are 75 acres, and that all were occupied. They vary in size and layout, but all are neat and attractive.

Sunday afternoon at Harris the campground) it looked like of people in a holiday mood hunting star fish and shells potatoes and steaks over coals and some were even fishing from the rocks. Potpourri asked a small boy what he hoped to catch and he said "fish" in when we asked what kind his father. "Ling cod" he in a proud voice, "My sister caught a great big one yester day, and she's only 11 years old."

In all the years we've been married, Potpourri should have learned that Pappy almost always knows what he's talking about, particularly if its about the great outdoors. This morning in the waJfc. room Potpourri found herself vigorously defending the climate of Grants Pass and south ern Oregon. A woman from Canada on a trip south, and a woman from El Paso, Tex., on her way to Alaska, were both going on a great rate about how hot it had been on Highway 99 Sunday, and the two of them .'decided that southern Oregon must be a terrible place to live. We said it wasn't any such a thing, that what if it does get hot during the days the nights are cool and one can see the sun and stars. "Well, at least when you live where it is cool, you can always find a way to get warm, but I'd like to know how you find a way to keep cool in Grants Pass when the thermometer says 108 degrees!" said the Canadian. (The high in Brookings Sunday was about 65). Yesterday driving along the highway and seeing the beautiful gardens Potpourri wished we had nerve enough to just stop and ask if we could stroll through one. Fuchsia bushes grow three and four feet high or more, and the hydrangeas are an incredible Our writing was just now Bob and Mary Shaw of Medford. The Shaws came over on Friday to try out their new trailer house, and had also been registered in Harris park. The list of Medford residents on the coast this week end is imposing. Many had come for the dedication of a new Presbyterian . church at Brookings, the Medford dele gation having been headed by Dr. and Mrs. D. Kirkland West. Yesterday afternoon on the beach Potpourri came across Mrs. Sam Harbison, who tactfully introduced herself when we couldn't remember her name, and she said that a large group had come for the ceremonies and were also enjoying the beach. Mr. H. and the children were frolicking in the surf. The Robert Boyers and a daughter, Sherry, were over, as were the William Sieberts and their two sons and the Howard Gaults, Mrs. Shaw reported. Mrs. Shaw agreed with Potpourri that Harris park is a delightful place to spend an outing. . While working away at the job of blowing up the air mattress for our sleeping bag last night, we remembered reading that Princess Margaret, now touring Canada, brought along her own mattress. Seems the Princess injured her back" some years ago (while horseback riding, if we re member correctly,) and ever since has used a mattress constructed particularly for her.

Mom's best secret for keeping hot, thirsty youngsters happy on torrid summer days. They are so easy to prepare and economical, too, when made with packaged fruit-flavored gelatin. Simply dissolve the contents of a package of the chosen flavor for the day in a cup of hot water. Then add three cups of cold water and ice cubes, and it-is ready to serve. Children especially favor strawberry, raspberry or cherry, but for variety try a combination of two flavors like apple and lemon, or raspberry and orange. Fresh strawberry, mint or cherry garnish makes them fancy party fare. With ten flavors to choose from, there are any number of refreshing drinks to keep them amused as well as cooL Several Families Visit Trail Area Trail Mr. and Mrs. Jewell Peterson, Springfield, Ore., left Saturday after visiting Mrs. Peterson's brother, Wal ter Messecar and family at Trail. While here they also visit ed her cousins, Mrs. Thomas Ragsby, Brownsboro, and Mrs. Montana Gilhousen at Rogue River lodge on Crater Lake highway. Mrs. Peterson, the former Miss Isabelle Mes secar, formerly lived in Med ford and attended Medford High school. Mrs. Gilhousen is employed in the Los Angeles offices of Marrison - Knudsen company. She visited at her lodge for several days on business last week and left for Los An geles Sunday. Also vacationing at Rogue River lodge are friends of Mrs. Gilhousen, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Orr and daughter, Susan, of La Canada, Calif. The Orrs traveled to the area by the coastal route. This is their first, visit to Oregon, having formerly lived in Michigan. 4 To iron embroidery prop erly, turn it face down on a turkish towel, -then press on wrong side.

Thanks to Seth Bullis, who Geographic Names" down to morning to prove that Gold "Rey," Potpourri remembered excursion to the coast. So we had it at hand to look up Eight Dollar Mountain, which we saw en route to the coast. The book says the mountain, one of the prominent featuress in the Illinois valley, was named probably because of the discovery nearby of a gold nugget worth $8. Another version is that a man wore a pair of shoes worth $8 while walking around the base. Since the mountain sides are ex ceedingly rough, and the distance about 12 miles, the author thinks the latter story might very well be true. About 3 o'clock this morning we thought it was raining, but it was just the damp fog. Water dripped from the walls of the Green room, and from the sides of the car. But now, at about 10 a.m., it is quite dry and warm, even though the fog is still overhead. The voice on the radio said maybe it would lift by mid-afternoon maybe. We must be off to Brookings, which has changed enor mously since our, last trip over here several years ago, to buy some hand lotion. Every time we pack for a trip we for get some small item necessary to our peace and comfort. This time it was hand lotion. O.S.

I'm tired of having my countrywomen take the rap as the underdogs of fashion. The average lady tourist from the United States draws more ad miring glances than a dancer at the Folies Bergere. A tour of European capitals shows that, on the average, my fellow Americans are the world's most fashion-conscious females and the best-dressed. We appear clean and neat. Our hair is smartly cut, our make-up fresh and sparkling, our figures trim. Our clothes Ijave "jazz." We look like well-fed fashion models com pared to the majority of care lessly dressed women abroad. Yet for years, we've swallow ed the notion that Paris has exclusive rights on fashion know-how. Well, 'tain't so. In cafes, on the street, at nightclubs and the theater, it's the American girl who gets the whistles. "You can always tell an American woman. She's so smartly dressed," a French waiter said. Then why aren't we told this at home. Before I left the States, a saleswoman at a fashionable Fifth Avenue store advised me to take nothing but chemises and trapezes. "You wont find anything else in Europe. Women are much more chic there," she said. So I stocked up. I might as well have worn an American flag. The only chemises I've seen here travel under American passports. The trapeze has fared only a bit better. I saw one in Paris, one on a Scottish girl in Edin burgh, another in London, and the third on a young Swedish matron in the Hague.
