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.
