SPECIAL MONDAY NIGHT ONLY U u MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, January 11, 1959 7 A Programs, club meetings and costumes - everything is being themed to the coming Oregon Centennial celebration. Now is the perfect time to learn about the history of Oregon and early days in the West in general. Today's society sec: tion has a long story from College Women's Club of the Rogue River valley about Oregon composers and writers. It's recommended reading. Potpourri and The Tribune owe an explanation to young Michael Larson of Prospect. Photographer Robert Vroman, who shot some of the snow pictures printed on last Sunday's front page in the society section, lost his notes and therefore couldn't identify Mike as the amateur skier. Mr. Vroman was on a Sunday outing with his family in the Prospect district, shot some pictures on the chance that they might be added to others already taken by another Tribune staffer, Eric Wentworth, at Crater lake. Photographer Bob didn't have his notebook with him and after his pockets failed to yield a bit of paper, finally wrote Mike's name down on a match case. Later, Mr. V. searched high and low for the match book and name, and when he couldn't find them, made a series of telephone calls, including two to Prospect. No luck. A friend of the Larsons wrote down to complain about the oversight, and that's how Potpourri is able to identify little Mike. We hope he continues to enjoy skiing on the Prospect hills. - Every week brings its quota of new friends and faces. Mrs. Thomas Staley came in to introduce herself and say that she is the new reporter for Southern Oregon Society of Artists. Mrs. S., like many others, had been especially busy during the holidays and said she was a little late in making herself known. The Staleys, who came to the Rogue valley several years ago from California, are enthusiastic about their home near the river in the Eagle Point-Shady Cove area. Mrs. Staley said she and her husband enjoy watching the deer which roam around their ranch, and that the morn ing she came to Medford, Mr. Staley had ' been taking pictures of seven or eight deer making themselves at home in the Staley's garden. A telephone call introduced Potpourri to Mrs. William R. Holland, who lives on Hope drive in Central Point. Mrs. Holland, who still remembers how much she enjoyed work ing on the St. Paul (Minnesota) - Journal-Press years ago, said she and her husband had come upon an amusing sight which they wanted to share. Driving along the highway near the Big Y a few days ago, the couple passed a pick-up truck with a big sign on the back." It read "Have WIFE will travel!" ' . Potpourri also enjoyed a meeting last week with Major and Mrs. Floyd Whiteley, who arrived back in the United States recently after spending three years at Bitburg Air Force base in Germany. The Whiteleys report that they enjoyed their stay in Germany very much, found the Ger mans friendly and hospitable. Major Whiteley, a career USAF pilot, was a prisoner in Stalag Luf t No. I during the second World War, but holds no bitterness because of his experiences. Bitburg base is near Trier, and the couple reported that the cathedral in this city has enshrined robes purported to have belonged to Christ. These are put on display once every 10 years. Mrs. Whiteley agreed with her husband that they had enjoyed Germany - the people, the food and the hospitality very much "- too much. Mrs. W. gained 20 pounds. . . The Trivia Editor of the Tribune has more tidbits to report. A note from Berlin says "The gentlemen who needs a quick shirt-change after the shops have closed fares better in West Berlin than most other cities of the world. Recently installed vending machines in strategic locations in that city dispense new shirts in any size for the modest sum of four 5-DM coins - about $5." ' - The Germans have come up with another idea which is brand new at least to Potpourri. Knowing that some families dislike going on vacations because it means leav ing Fido at home, and Fido gets lonesome. Well, according to the German Tourist Information office, dogs are not ac cepted at ' certain kennels unless the owner promises to send postcards regularly while away. The owner must also promise to sleep with the postcard next to his skin for one night so the dog will fully comprehend the "message." The kennel operators maintain that the pooches are much happier after sniffing their own cards every day. And while we're on the subject of dogs, a Reuters dis patch from London the other day quoted Dr. Guy Daynes of Hove as writing that some dog owners change their personalities to match that of the dog. "The character of dogs, unlike humans, run surprisingly true to breed, and it is most interesting to watch a dog owner attune his or her character to that of the dog because the dog's character cannot be influenced to any great extent by the owner. Thus owners tend to grow like their dogs, rather than the other way around," says Dr. Daynes. Maybe Potpourri should start watching Tippy the Terrier more closely. Let's see, Tippy loves pie, cake and chocolate candy, like to laze by a warm fire but is still pretty lively in spite of his oncoming middle age, is interested in what is going and coming on the highway and what the neigh bors do, prefers summer weather to winter's chill, and enjoys friendly company. This sounds like Potpourri, but we shouldn't blame poor Tippy. George the proofreader has a good explanation for his truly impressive Van Dyke type whiskers. "I'm trying to prove that I'm an honest-to-goodness, vitamin-filled, RH factor, red-blooded Oregonian," says George.-O.S.
