A MA!L TRIBUNE. Mtifori, Oregon, Sutidty, Jinuary J3, 13
MOT
Today is one of those days Potpourri wishes the front page
of. pictures could be in color. Black and white just doesn't
bgin to show the Applegate valley ' residents in their true
colors. For instance, Lynn Valentine's plaid shirt and rich
red vest (Mrs. V. made the vest herself of special material)
would add a splash to the page. Then there's Boyd Gibson's
beard. In all Jackson county maybe not even in all Oregon,
is there a Centennial beard to equal Boyd Gibson's. It is full
and glossy and the most beautiful red imaginable. It is
tAily a pity the beard cannot be reproduced today in all its
glory. ' .
I Color would be interesting1 for the gowns, too. Some of
these are heirloom dresses handed down in Applegate fami
lies for years, and others have been made in keeping with
the Centennial spirit.
At the party last Saturday night Mrs. Holland Smith
Wore a gown which originally belonged to Lloyd Hamlin's
grandmother. The dress is linen, in the natural linen color,
and is made with a close-fitting bodice, long skirt trimmed
with tucks and self-covered buttons".
f The gown which Mrs. Lance Offenbacher wore first be
longed to the late Lee Port's mother. It is of black and white
cotton of unusual pattern, and is trimmed with black lace. '.'
f For the dinner Mrs. Edward Henderson wore a handsome
black" gown which belonged to Kathryn Offenbacher, who
with her husband, Valentine Offenbacher, settled in Oregon
in 1879. They were immigrants from Germany..
While everyone apparently was having a good time, one
man was particularly enjoying the event, Valoris Haskins,
88, who was born near the Applegate valley and who has
lived in southern Oregon all his life, said with deep feeling
This is one of the happiest days of my life." Everyone calls
Mr. Haskins "Val" and he explained .that the unusual name
of Valoris had been given him by his parents because one
of their friends bore the name. 5
v Mr. Haskins enjoyed his dinner and then smoked a cigar.
When asked to join a group on the Grange hall stage for a
picture, he didn't bother to walk around to one of the sets
of stairs at either side. He climbed up in his chair and then
stepped on the stage, very nimbly indeed for a man almost 90.
' Potpourri and Mr. H. talked for a time, and he said that
his mother, who was Jeanette Beswick, and his father, Wil
liam Haskins, had crossed the plains in 1852. They settled
near Uniontown, and his father mined. Later he operated a
wagon shop and followed the blacksmith's trade.
?. Bert Clute was another "old timer" at the dinner. Mr.
CJute has lived in Oregon for more than 70 years and is
looking forward to other Centennial events with eagerness.
: H. J.' Arnold and Mrs. Arnold drove all the way from
Butte Falls to the Upper Applegate Grange hall for the din
ner. Mr. Arnold, another native, son. was born near Squaw
lake, and has enjoyed watching the progress of his state and
cpunty throughout the years. ' ' -j
i .: - -j . . . .... ... '
'; Even the food at the dinner had the pioneer touch. Among
other dishes there was elk stew, meat loaf made from bear,
dried corn cooked in milk, corn bread, homemade bread and
delicious baking powder biscuits. Potpourri's first dessert
was a piece of the good homemade bread, slathered with but
ter. We say "first dessert' advisedly. After eating the bread
and butter, along came an apple pie which we couldn't resist,
so that was our second, dessert, - . ; '
to Potpourri didn't take a contribution for the food, but the
Tromans went armed with a huge pot of beans which Marian
V.- had cooked, starting the day before in true pioneer style.
By; the ,time Photographer Bob and Potpourri had finished
taking pictures, we had to scrape the bottom of the bean" pot
in order to get a sample - they looked delicious and were,
too.
After dinner was over and. the tables cleared away, a
group of four musicians played for dancing. They jwefe
Rodney Snyder, Chester Snyder, John Bettencourt and Rob
ert Rametes. The dinner and dance were truly a community
event. Several organizations cooperated with the Centennial
committee, and even the school children did their share.
Children in the fifth and sixth grade of the Applegate school
made the hall decorations. ' " r ; " :'

Mrs. E. E. McGrew called in last week to say she thought
the postman on their rbute was wonderful. He delivered a
package, colored slides which had been sent to Hollywood to
be developed, which was addressed only to "Mrs. E. E."
Since it didn't even, say Medf ord, Mrs. McGrew wasn't quite
sure how it had even arrived in the--city., .When. Postman
Ivan Lantz arrived at the McGrew's door with the package,
he said "This must be for you you people are the only
ones I know who receive this kind of mail from Hollywood."
The McGrews, who live at 1433 East McAndrews" road, would
have been sorry indeed to have the slides lost, for they had
been taken during the holidays.
Street corner conversation: Man says, heatedly, ;VBut : I
tell you, Mary's mother is dead!" Woman replies, calmly,
"Well, I don't know about that, but I was just introduced to
her."-O.S. . ' '

New Gas Unit Has
Portable Burners
A new gas kitchen unit fea
tures counter-top cooking with
portable plug - in burners
Flames are hidden under Py-
roceram, a ceramic glass de
veloped for use in rocket nose
cones. Some foods, such as
hamburgers and pancakes, can
be cooked on the glass cover
plate without pots and pans.
The surface can be 'wiped
clean with a damp cloth, and
there are no grids or gas ports
to scrub. The kitchen also in
cludes an elevator storage
space, infra-red rotisserie, v a
freezer which swings out from
a corner, a sink, with, push
button controls and a continu
ous supply of hot water. A re
frigerator and oven descends
from a wall. Push a button
and food moves from a freezer
into an oven, and out of the
oven when done. . Styled by
Sundbert-Ferar, the unit has
rosewood doors.
Learn at Home
Now it's possible to learn
touch typing at home. A new
10-day course consists of a
printed text and two 12-inch
long-playing records. Pre-test-ing
shows it is effective for
adults, teen-agers and grade
school youngsters. Beginners
have attained speeds up to 40
words a minute, by listening
to an instructor's recorded
voice and while referring to
the keyboard chart.
A new wash-and-wear fab
ric has been developed which
is hardy, heat-resistant, and
stays fresh and neat. The fib
ers give a natural whiteness
which takes dye easily.
