2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Oregon. Thursday, January 22, 19S9 Many a budding author will be envious of Calvin Patter son. Young Mr. P., a disabled war veteran with time "on his hands, decided to write, and what's more, to write for the Saturday Evening Post. He enrolled in a correspond ence course, studied the Post style, drew on his own back ground in the logging industry, wrote a story and sold it to the Post. Potpourri, who has never tried to sell a short story but has heard the complaints and tales of dozens who have, was interested to hear that someone on the Post edi torial board took an interest in the young man's first ef forts and helped hini to re-write the story into saleable form. i .For what It's worth. Potpourri salutes the Post for en couraging a new writer, and Mr. Patterson for having the courage to enter the field. We wish him the best of luck. His wife says he has the germ of an idea for a 'novel, and we hope he gets it into print one of these days. , .Yesterday's mail brought news of a young artist - a very young one. Six years old, in fact. He is Perry Archibald, son of the Jean Archibalds, who formerly lived in Medford. Perry drew a picture of a Spanish bullfighter which is now being exhibited in the Boise Art gallery, Boise, Ida. The painting, according to a columnist on the Boise, paper, was entered in the November Idaho Artist's show and though not a prize-winner, it "was considered by the judge to be a picture of merit." Perry was five years old when he painted tthe picture, but has since turned six. The boy's picture is in tempera on paper, and is described as modern abstractionist in style. His matador is being '. exhibited at the same time as the work of other Idaho artists who won critics kudos, all included during the exhibit of the Smithsonian Institution's Northwest exhibit, ) according to the Boise Statesman columnist. 4f Along with the clipping came a note from Perry's mother. . "We didn't know the piece was in the paper until Perry's ; Sunday school teacher told him at Sunday school, St. 'Michael's Cathedral," she wrote. "An . interesting note is ithat in the afternoon we went to the gallery to see where the picture was hung, etc., and upon examining the Smith - sonian Institute group, we spied a lovely oil done by Fred .'Marshall,. Seattle, who has been the artist for a Seattle ; paper for years, and who is a life-long friend of the Archi '. bald family. Imagine our little Perry having a picture shown :,with Fred's an artist of renown quite a coincidence, ". we thought. t- "Under Perry's picture was this: Chosen for its color ; and freedom in line and design, but not hung with the 23rd : annual because of it's not being adult work, but the ex pression of a five-year-old child." Perry has two pairs of grandparents in Medford, Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Hardy and Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Archibald. Admitting that he was running "the risk of wounding a sacred cow," Theodore O.-Yntema says in last week's Saturday Review that "When it comes to college and uni versity education, S question whether the tax subsidy to public institutions does not exceed reasonable limits." Mr. Yntema, considered one of the nation's most distinguished economists and a consultant to the National Recovery ad ministration, continues by saying, "Our real personal in comes have risen so -much -that most families are much better i able to contribute to a college education for , their children than in earlier years. Yet the ratio of tuition to total cost has declined sharply. . "It seems to me that our public institutions of higher learning should raise their tuition fees to cover the bulk of their expenses. At the same time, loans should be made universally available to all students to enable them to pay tuition and cover their other costs of education. Such loans could carry a relatively low. rate of interest and be repay able after graduation out of income before taxes. "This would have three desirable results: First, private institutions. of higher learning could expand and maintain their important role as independent centers of free thought; second, the, burden of state taxes would be eased; and third, college education would undoubtedly be more highly valued by the student if he had to pay for it directly." In an editorial footnote, the Saturday Review stated its opposition to this proposal, saying, "If pushed with vigor, the proposal would be to the disadvantage of just that American middle-class which is supposed to be our national pride and joy The well-to-do would continue to send their sons to Ivy League schools, and everyone else would go to super-swollen state universities." The Review also disliked the loan idea, saying "it would saddle the average 21 or 22-year-old graduate with a debt running up to $10,000 . . . ."",. "Alert," publication for Catholic men, comes up with this idea. "Athletes get letters on their sweaters - why not scholars? The athletes may resent the idea at first; but maybe some of them will win two letters. One thing sure, it would help put the proper emphasis on all school achievements." : . -O.S.

Boatkeeping Declared A Breeze By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International NewYork-d?D-If you want to send the family down the river, you can. Cost: 53,795-plus a thou sand or so for extras. The initial investment buys a dreamy houseboat that sleeps six. Keeping the thing tidy, is a breeze, so it may be just what you need if housework's got you ,at sea. The modest riverboat is among hundreds moored at the National Boat Show in New York's Coliseum. Among other things, it of fers freedom from worries about muddy tracks, lawns that need mowing, door-to-door salesmen, the angels next door. - No Room for Clutter A good hosing keeps it ship-shape. And once aboard, the family is forced to be neat-as-a-pin. There just isn't room for clutter. You may be able to control your own children a little more easily on a waterway than you can on land. Just pull up the gangplank when you want them to stay in and pay attention to their books. Pulling up the anchor and drifting is a way of solving other problems. Such as when you see a caller coming and want to duck. Or when you want to drift out of earshot of. neighboring boats to have a few loud words with hus band. Among extras you'll want to buy for your diver-boating family will be plastic cover alls. You hose them when they get dirty. Need Special Flags You also need a special set of flags. One featuring a cof fee-pot means come - aboard. For later in the day, you can run up flags showing either a beer mug or cocktail glass -all depending on how sea worthy your budget is. When everyone's bedded down, you're supposed to run' up a flag showing two slum bering bunnies. In the nautical language, there are flags : that only a husband may use. .; One fea tures battle-axe on a field of white which means: Wife aboard. Another, showing a witch on her broom means wife ashore. 4 Agent Speaks At Unit Session Miss Mary Pat Lucy, Jack son county home "extension agent, was speaker for the last meeting of the Medford unit.
