, ' . 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.

,(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.

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. '
Gloria Swanson First
Her selections, and the
qualities which set them
apart, are:
1. Gloria Swanson - "The
face is just glorious."
2. Greta Garbo -"Spectacu-!
lar woman . . . her long bob
polished off the flapper era."
3. Carole Lombard - "She
represented the beauty of her
era."
4. 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. Shirley Maclaine-'Typi-cal
of todty'c good looks."
II. Mriln Monroe - "All
peaches and cream . . .

Frances Howard when she met
Goldwyn in 1925.
"It was either quit my ca
reer or not get Sam," she
laughed, "and I wanted him."
The couple has been mar
ried 32 years. She also is his
business advisor, on matters '
of makeup, wardrobe, sets and
production, and. her husband
once said his only failures
resulted when he failed to
heed her advice.
