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."

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.
