We occupied the Green room last night. There are no
pictures on the wall, no windows, doors or covering on
the floor, but it's a pretty and neat little "room." It is
enclosed with a wall of native plants and shrubs azaleas,
ferns, thimble and black berry bushes, with berries on them,
and a blooming shrub with

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. Some are

and all the time we thought they were just a lake bird.
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

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. .

Tangy fruit-flavored beverages are. 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

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.

Europeans
Say Americans
Best Dressed
By MARY PRIME ,
United Press International
New York (LTD The world
may look to Paris for high
fashion inspiration, but it
looks at American women.
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.
Keep Head Light
It's a good idea to dry no
more than two double cotton
sheets at a time in an auto
matic clothes dryer. A light
load will give the sheets a
chance to tumble freely and
fluff the wrinkles out.
