V 'fc'V't , ' . Carl Richardson.. Trail, amateur orni thologist, displayed part of his extensiYe : collection of mounted birds at Ihe annual spring flower show of Central Point Garden ' stjub held last week in the cafetorium of Crater High schooL Mr. Richardson's collec tion numbers almost 400 specimens taken 19 southern Oregon, and he is pictured hold- ing a hawk and a flicker. Mr. Richardson is a member of the American Ornithologists' union, the Cooper Club of California, the Northwest Bird and Mammal Society and the Western Bird Banders' society. He has permission of the government to trap and lake the specimens in other manners since it is for scientific purposes. The i'f estival fever" is upon us again. It dies out in the wintertime, and then grips us again in the spring. Monday read the cast list for this season's Shakespearean plays with downright excitement and that evening we went to Ash : land for the traditional "casting dinner." The dinner was 'ven more enjoyable than in past years-we met friends of past seasons, saw the newcomers-and an interesting and hand gpme lot they are, too, and there was much talk of the fine new theater. We were lucky enough to find empty chairs at the table fchere the Hansons, Phil and Suzy, were sitting. The Hansons ar Just back frbm two years in France and Germany where Jlr. H. directed musical and dramatic programs for Army Special Service. They both enjoyed the experience enor-.mously-Ph.il has added a few pounds to his lean frame, and ' jzy said If she is thinner, it war because of the traffic haz ' jkrds in Europe. The two bought themselves a little Volks . tgen, and Suzy served as chauffeur for her husband. She (BCid it took months for her to get used to the fact that motorists seem to do as they please in Europe, swooping in !$rom all directions and cutting in and out in a manner calcu- Isjted to give the timid driver heart failure. ' Her husband said, his added weight was without a doubt ue to the wonderful French and German cuisine and he , inscribed how a certain French chef cooked filets with a sour ream sauce. If we hadn't been stuffing ourselves with a plateful of good casserole foods from the kitchen of the tjudor guild members, we'd have cried for him to stop, v When the time for introductions came, there was a lot of Applause but th moat prolonged was for Alfred S. V. Carpen fl(T and Mrs. C, for the valley festival fans assembled at riscotfschool know how much the festival and the associa Ogon owe to the generosity and untiring efforts of this couple. Mrs. Philip Gates, Tudor guild president, started the pro 3(tm and then when it came time to introduce the company ' itmbers, she tufned to Mrs. Angus Bowmer for this. And be Jtijve it or not, Gertrude Bowmer not only named each actor, dfcchnician, musician, costume worker, etc., but remembered . sjhere each came from. All but one, that is. When she sat fown, a half dozen voices were raised to remind Mrs. B. that $fthad forgotten to introduce her husband, no less a person am than the founder and producing director. Mr. B. thought (fte incident very funny and joined in the round of laughter. Wanosriov nfsht tiro Tnnir rim rn rnepir nn inp Tinwpr ,(jf ld which we planted out in a corner of the vegetable gar 4n. Patpourri is an incurable optimist when it comes to 4tfds. why don't the miserable things sprout and turn into ig plants with quantities of bright blossoms, just like the (pictures in the catalogs and on the packages. Some do, of course. Two rows of marigolds are coming (glong nicely, and we have a fine crop of little lupine plants. (We have the uneasy feeling that these should have been jklanted in the fall, but anyhow, they are growing lustily. : There is another row of something or the other, growing hickly, but somehow, the packet we stuck on a stick at the .$id has been lost, and we'll have to wait until the plants are r4rger, or bloom, before we know what they are. Otherwise, the average isn't so good. In the zinnia row tere are exactly four plants, and ditto the nicotiana. Neither larkspur, cosmos or sweet william put out a single plant. &s for petunias, we've given up on those long ago. Never, in .401 our years of gardening, were we ever able to get a single jtunia to sprout from seed, so now we just buy plants. Most of the roses are over the first bloom, which was .'(Iceedingly heavy this year. But the little Margot Koster has . mftny flowers, and so does Jiminy Cricket. And the Peace. Jotpourri stands in awe of the gorgeous blooms on our Peace - rose. Ever since that June day, four or five years ago, when ,v. saw the first full-bloom Peace rose in the garden, we con tinue to marvel that this beautiful flower grows in our yard. "The huge blossoms of creamy-yellow petals edged with a delicate pink look like something the angels might grow, but not a mortal-like us, with a doubtful green thumb.. This particular bush, however, has one failing. The flow 9nt begin to droop almost as soon as they are cut. We've tried picking them in the evening and in ,the morning, putting thAtrCin cold, lukewarm and hot water. We cut the stems on th slant, and have even tried crushing them as some rose (Towers do. But nine out of 10 blossoms are completely wilt- d in three or four hours, regardless of circumstances. .' One day last week Elmer Parker, who lives on Lozier lane, came in to bring Potpourri three or four flowers from . his Passion vine. These strange blossoms must be seen-they defy description. Alfred C. Hottes, in his "Garden Facts and Fancies," says "Some flowers are as simple as the Calla, the Geranium or the Flax; some are so complicated that the hu Iman artist conceives nothing more intricate. Like some pro duction of Benvenuto Cellini, the Passion flower is the epitome of complexity. Beside the hinged, glowing gold sta 'mens there is a row of elaborately striped papillae in the ". center of the flower, and inside of these are several series of tiny pin-points which would defy the goldsmith or the painter." The dictionary says that the Passion flower is so named ' from the fancied resemblance of certain parts of the flower to the instruments of the crucifixion." We first saw the Passion flower growing as a vine over the porch at my aunt's home in Portland. Several years ago : we learned of one growing at a tourist court on Highway 99 north, and now the one belonging to Mr. Parker. Why they ' are not more commonly grown remains a mystery, since the flower is so unusual. ? After luncheon last week with Gretchen Wade and her sister and brother-in-law, the Harry Speeces from Yankton, ..S.D., we told EA that Gretchen had said she thought her sis ter and the Tribune society editor were somewhat alike. j"You both are rather bird-like," we quoted. Without even a second's pa8se EA said "She was thinking of the whooping crane, no doubt."-O.S. 2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.

Most Beautiful Actresses Selected by Mrs. Goldwyn Br GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York (DPD It isn't easy to name the 10 all-time great beauties of Hollywood, a city where prettiness is the price of admission. But Mrs. Samuel Goldwyn, wife of the producer, accept ed the challenge, even though she said "I should include one mystery woman because I have to go back there to live." Before she was through, her list had grown to 12 and she had traced through three dec ades of watcing actresses rise to fame, stay in the limelight or move on to obscurity.

Joan Crawford - "For her superb figure, good teeth and healthy hair." - 5. Virginia Bruce - "A ma dona's face . . . her beauty was incomparable." . 6. Dolores del Rio - "The classic brunette beauty." 7. Marlene Dietrich - "Now there is bone structure for you!" - 8. Elizabeth Taylor "The voluptous beauty. Her neck and shoulder line remind me of an Ingres painting." 9. Dorothy Dandridge-"She could come out of a wind tun nel looking ravishing." 10. Gina Lollobrigida-"For her earthy Quality." 11.
