Large Tall Hats
In Limelight
For Fail Wear
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
Paris 0.PD Heads take to
all kinds of cover for fall.
There are big mushroom-
shaped hats, hats completely
covered with feathers, wig
hats, hats in miniature and
veil hats some covering just
the hair, others forming a
whole cloak for the body.
Except for the veils, all the
head coverings have one thing
in common. They show the
face.
None of those jobs which
come so far forward only a
girl's nose and mouth show
below. Almost every hat worn
with the Paris clothes collec
tions last week were balanced
well back on the head. Some
designers also liked them
brimless and high.
Yves St. Laurent of the
House of Dior showed hats
almost towering some of
them reminiscent of the head
dress worn by ancient Egyp
tian beauties.
"Elegance this year is not
possible without a hat," said
the designer.
Plenty of Plumage
St. Laurent concealed the
forehead slightly in some mod
els, with tiny visors of feath
ers either lying flat against
or slightly out from the brow.
There is enough plumage
to stuff a feather bed in the
collection Brazilian ostrich,
Chilean rooster, huge ai
grettes, and a brown and
white mixture which made a
helmet.
Claude St. Cyr, who de
signs many of the hats worn
by QueenElizabeth II, gives
a new look to the slouch hat
from the 1930s. Still of pliable
materials such as velvet and
felt, it has a Robin Hood
jauntiness in style.
Milliner Paulette, whose
customers include the Duchess
of Windsor, Doris Duke and
Marlene Dietrich, turned veils
into wind helmets for evening.
These protectice coverings
come in various shades with
sequin trim, and some are
metallic gold.
Feature Cloak Veil
St. Laurent is one of sev
eral designers featuring the
cloak veils. A typical one be
gins with a small black and
white plume in the center
crown, and sweeps down to
envelop the body. Worn un
der it a simple black wool
dress. Castillo of Lanvin
shows black tulle veils puffed
up icepack-shape above the
crown, and held in place with
a drawstring headache band.
Wig hats are made of wool
or stiffened silk "petals" and
envelop the head; ideal for
the day a girls hair is a mess
anyway.
The miniatures are meant
for evening wear. Some are
tiny flat pancakes. Others
have little more to them than
a small base and a tall plume.
Cucumber Sauce
New York (EPD A sauce
that's perfect for fish or vege
tables combines sour cream
with cucumbers.
Mix 1 cup finely chopped
cucumbers with IVi teaspoons
salt and let stand in covered
jar in refrigerator at least 1
hour. Drain and mix with 1
tablespoon sugar, 5 teaspoons
fresh lemon juice, M teaspoon
ground white pepper and Vz
teaspoon dry mustard.
Just before serving, fold in
1 cup sour cream. Makes l?i

Bishop of the Episcopal Dio
cese of Oregon, speak. The
bishop expressed his appre
ciation for the loyalty and de
votion of the hospital staff in
helping to overcome the
many difficulties of moving
into the new building.
A token gift and letter of
thanks from the board was
given to each employee who
assisted with the move.
In addition, 34 employees
were given pins for long
years of service with the
hospital.
Miss Mabel Coffeen was
given a pin for the longest
number of years. Miss Cof
feen, who began as a surgical
nurse 30 years ago, remin
isced of the early days when
money was scarce and it was
often necessary to exchange
farm produce for hospital
supplies. She also told of the
many hours nurses spent
stringing beans and canning
foods, when not busy in the
surgery and during the eve
nings. Robert Ebbe, engineer, and
Mrs. Anna Barnes, a regis
tered nurse, were each given
pins for more than 15 years
of service.
Thirteen persons received
pins for 10 or more years of
service and five to ten years
of service pins were awarded
to eighteen others.
Arrangements for the tea
were made by a board com
mittee including Mrs. William
H. Fluhrer, Mrs. Alfred S. V.

IPttpraiiririi
We've been mentally composing a letter to Oregon state
officials we're not sure exactly to whom this opus will
be mailed. In one paragraph we will praise the state's over
night camping parks, and the idea of the wayside parks and
picnic areas, and then we'll ask "Why do you wait until the
middle of the tourist season and the busiest hours of the
day to put in a drainage ditch or culvert or something that
stops traffic for an hour? Couldn't the work have been done
earlier or later, when not so many vacation bound-cars are
on the highway, or couldn't it have been done between mid
night and 6 a.m. with the help of floodlights? Emergency
road repairs are made during the house of darkness, if neces
sity demands.
After last week's camping, we feel justified in praising
the places we used, and after sitting on the highway for
more than an hour, with the traffic backed up for a mile in
both directions, we also feel justified in asking "is this neces
sary during the height of the tourist season at the busiest
part of the day?"
The traffic stoppage occurred Tuesday afternoon at a
point on Highway 101 between Gold Beach and Coos Bay.
It was late afternoon, just at the time when the traffic is
augmented by workers en route home at the end of the day's
labors, and by the last-minute log truckers hurrying to get
one more load credited for the day.Tt was a time, too, when
tourists are beginning to look for a spot to spend the night
and the passengers are tired and hungry,
When the traffic first came to a dead stop" about 5 p.m.
we thought it would be a matter of minutes while the work
men directed one-way passage for a time. About 20 -or 25
cars went by us headed south, and then nothing more. In
front of us were 8 or 10 loaded logging trucks and some
other commercial vehicles. Directly behind us was a Grey
hound bus and as far down the road as one could see were
cars of all sorts. We waited. Fifteen minutes or so went by,
and finally four or five men. walked up ahead to find out
what "went on." They came back at length to say that work
men were putting in a culvert, and that it would be at least
half an hour before they were ready to let anyone cross,
either way. It was more .than that. When the cars finally
began to move, it was the 'south bound lane again and about
40 were allowed to pass. Then the northbound cars started to
roll and we started to count. We counted 79 waiting vehicles,
in addition to the 40 that had already gone on.
Judging from the remarks of the drivers who strolled
around in our vicinity during the long wait, the accummu
lated curses heaped on the heads of those responsible for
the tie-up must have been considerable.
Before leaving the Oregon coast we used two state op
erated camps and one of the U.S. Forest service. As we said
before, Harris Beach State park is beautiful, clean and
blessed with a centrally located utility building with toilets,
showers and a room with laundry tubs.
One night we used the Forest service's Eel creek, camp
north of Coos Bay and since we rolled in late, (due to the
new culvert and left very early in the morning, we failed
to find out how large it is. If there, were any hot-and-cold
running water accommodations, we failed to find them.
Our last night in Oregon was spent at Fort Stevens
camp ground near Astoria and the woman who checked us
in said the big ground is filled to capacity almost every
night. The larger section on one side of the road has about
125 camping areas and all were filled that night. Across the
road are more than 40 we forget the exact number, and
there were no empties in our vicinity.
Most of the campers seem to be in a holiday mood. Two
couples from Spokane, Wash., using one area had hung a
large beach towel across the entrance; the towel was in
scribed "Beware Soft Shoulders." At another place a card
board sign nailed to a tree at the entrance read "Olson's
Rancho." About half the camp sites have washing hung out
to dry and women nonchalantly throw their lace-covered
scanties up on the nearest bush for every passer-by to see.
A light but steady rain routed us out early at the
Stevens' campground and after a hasty 5:30 a.m. breakfast
we decided to drive down to the beach before continuing on
for the day. Having expected to find a deserted beach we
were astounded to find it crowded as far as one could
see in both directions were cars and people. Everyone, old

Vacation Advice
Chicago (UPD Vacation
ing motorists are warned not
to overload the trunks of their
cars. The Chicago Motor club
says too much weight in the
rear of the automobile affects
the balance of the car and
tends to point the headlights
off the road.
Advice on all aspects of
club activity is given in Kate
Monro's new book, "The Club
women's Manual," which . is
now available at the Medford
public library. Many other
books of interest to club lead
ers can also be obtained.

and young, was busy digging clams. A friendly woman let
us tag along and watch while she dug clams and answered
questions she said that the period was one of very low
tides and that the clamming had been unusually good.
She was using a device which we'd never seen before,
a tube of light steel about ;f our or five inches in diameter and
with a small handle across the top. This she drove into the
sand around the little "dimple" which indicates a clam be
low, then put her thumb over the air hole on top, pulled
the tube up, dumped out the sand and more than 50 per
cent of the time she had a clam.
Her young son, and almost everyone else, was using a
small, flat' clam shovel. He would scoop, first in one direction
and then the other and then usually dropped the shovel and
dug with his hands like mad, sometimes thrusting his right
arm down to the shoulder. He was soaking wet clear to his
neck and covered with wet sand. When Potpourri indicated
that he seemed to like working very hard his mother laughed
and said "He loves it. If I went clamming without him he'd
have a fit." The clams from this beach are the razor clams,
she said, and some housewives can them. There is a limit of
24 clams per person a day.
Clammers seemed to wear whatever came handy. One
man was in shorts and a light cotton shirt, another had on
woolen trousers and shirt and rubber hip-length boots. But
all of them were thoroughly wet and sand-covered.
By sheer good luck we arrived in Astoria just in time
to take the 8 a.m. ferryacross the Columbia river, a routine
and uneventful crossing, with every spot on the boat taken
by cars and trucks and more than 40 waiting on the other
side. One of the house trailers oh the ferry we'd been seeing
from time to time all along the Oregon coast, and the man
standing next to Potpourri at the rail turned out to be the
same one who sat in front of us on the trip up the Rogue
river.
Crossing the Columbia at the mouth by ferry is certain
ly nothing like going up the Rogue in one of the little river
boats. Potpourri had been surprised at the shallowness of
the Rogue. Time after time the boatman zigged and zagged
back and forth in order to avoid gravel bars and time after
time the bottom of the boat scraped and jarred on the rocks.
One man remarked "These boats just dig their way up the
river." ,
Driving up the Washington coast to South Bend and
Raymond, where" we turned inland, Potpourri wished we'd
brought along our book on trees, as well as the flower book
and the one on geographic names. Potpourri grew up in
Pacific county, Washington, and yet we are woefully igno
rant about the native' flowers and trees. As we drove along,
we wondered why most of us know so little about the world
around us. O.S.

families compare costs of pre
serving food at ' home with
store purchased.
Each family will need to
consider the cost, the work
involved and the satisfactions
in doing the job at home.
Money costs include such
items as product to be pre
served, additional ingredients,
jars, lids', packaging materials
and fuel or cost of operating
the freezer or locker.
Figuring Costs
To figure the cost of home '
canned food, add cost of raw
food and cost of extra in
gredients to get total cost of
food, add five cents per quart
of expected yield for the cost
of glass jars, jar closure re
placements, heat for process
ing and investment in can
ning equipment, then divide
total by number of quarts ex
pected. Resulting figure is the
cost per quart of home canned
food. , v
To figure cost of home
frozen food, add cost of raw
food and cost - of ; extra in
gredients to get total cost of
food, then add two cents a
pound for packing costs. It is
reported this figure will
change little even though car
tons are re-used. Divide total
by the number of quarts yield
expected from this amount of
food to find cost per quart,
and add to this the cost for
owning and operating or rent
ing your freezer.
After the money costs are
figured, consider the work in
volved and the family satis
faction. Whether it's better to
can and freeze at home or buy
the foods commercially pre
pared is a decision to be made
by each family. Answers will
vary with different foods be
cause of costs and family
likes.
