With apologies to Gertrude Stein-a picnic is a picnic is
a picnic.
Last 'Wednesday the League of Women Voters held the
annual picnic at the John Day's interesting home on top of
a hill overlooking the Rogue river and Gold Rey dam. The
weather wasn't too hot, the food was good and just about
came out even with the large number -that attended, and
the whole event left the league gals with the comfortable
feeling that it had been quite a success.
Mrs. Ogden Kellogg, devoted leaguer from Gold Hill,
said the first time she went to the summer event which the
league calls a picnic, she felt deceived. Mrs. K. wore clothes
meant for a real outdoor party, and took the children along.
She was surprised to find that no other member had brought
her children, and most of the women were "dressed up."
This reminded Potpourri of one of the first parties we
ever attended in Medford. The two of us were invited to the
home of a couple who owned a large house with extensive
grounds, for a "picnic." Since we'd already .suffered some
what from the attacks of the virulent . Rogue valley mos
quitoes, Potpourri wore slacks, a .white blouse and took
along a sweater. 1 .
We nearly dropped dead when we saw two women stand
ing near the entrance to the grounds. They had on dresses
which looked like they were meant for a garden party, one
had on a wide picture hat-both had on white gloves.
Thumbing through our New York Times clippings to
night, we came upon a story about Burgess Meredith and
his family going on a picnic. The well known actor told the
Times reporter that all his previous ideas about picnics were
changed a long time ago when he was invited to go on an
outing with John Ringling North of Circus fame. This
"piquenique" was in France. It started with pate on toast
and champagne, served in the lobby of a hotel, and con
tinued in the host's wire-wheeled chauffeur-driven Cadillac
to the Loire valley. The feast which they were finally served
included cold i roast squab-and now the Meredith family
always serves this dish on their picnics.
To us, the Meredith picnics sound almost as unreal as
the one in France. The Merediths go by horseback, buggy,
on foot or by plane. The one described in the Times was
to a spot three miles from High Tor, wherever that, is; it
was described as the ivy-covered brick-walled ruins of a
home that had at one time belonged to Tallulah Bankhead.
Burgess Meredith is famous as an amateur chefv His
picnic began with soft-shelled crab, charcoal broiled and
basted with parsley butter. These were accompanied by a
well-iced Muscadet-1958. A guest, Sam Aaron, says this
wine is just right for picnics-it is described as delicate,
refreshing, and low in alcoholic content. Mr. Aaron should
know-he is one of the proprietors of Sherry Wine .and Spirits.
The Times gave the recipe for the crabs, but we'll skip that.
The principal 'item on the menu was the afore-mentioned
cold squaio. It was eaten out of hand, accompanied by a
bottle of Fleurie, 1957. The flavor was described as "fruity."
The Times described how the squab is prepared, too, and
also gave the recipe for a salad which has the interesting
name of "All Mighty Salad." It is made from red cabbage
and dressed with pure-olive oil, wme vinegar, lemon juice
and a list of spices and seasonings about four inchs long
in type.
About the time the dessert came alone the Merediths and
their guests had to go home-it rained. The final course,
served on the porch of the Meredith home, was fruit and
Tome de Savoie, "a soft, assertive cheese." This was served
with a round loaf of crusty, Italian bread and more Fleurie,
1957.
As an antidote to the drenching rain, the actor served
frosted glasses of framboise, "a startling elixir made of wild
raspberries .from the top of the Vosges mountains."
.... .
Well, it's just like we always say. One-half of the U. S;
doesn't know how the other half lives. Pappy and Potpourri
went on a picnic last Sunday. We ate in the back of the
truck parked on top of Mt. Ashland, which, thank heaven
was never owned by Tallulah Bankhead. Pappy fired up
the littlest camp stove, and boiled water for instant coffee.
We opened a can of Vienna sausages, and had whole wheat
bread and carrots and fresh cherries grown in the Rogue
River valley (which makes them every bit as good as rasp
berries grown on the top of the Vosges mountains).
We didn't have any wine, although some good California
Cabernet, which many wine judges declare is as good or
better than wine produced in France, would have been nice.
We did have oatmeal cookies for dessert.
The Times didn't describe the scenery that went with
the Meredith's picnic. And it would be hard for Potpourri
to describe the scenery that went with our picnic, for it
defies words. We saw slopes absolutely covered with the
dwarf lupine of a soft blue, mixed every now and then

On Color, ;.-,'.'
Br WILLIAM P. GRUBER
- United Press International
Chicago (UPD Psychology
now decides colors for china,
glassware and giftwares.
Designers armed with sur
veys, statistics, and emotional
studies come up with color
styles and trends before the
average woman even is aware
of what she likes or wants.
Psychologists and designers
at the recent China, Glass, and
Gift Market at the Merchan
dise Mart said the "emotional
climate," of the country' has
a definite influence on the
popularity of certain colors.
The more nervous the times,
the brighter the colors in
fashion. - v
Popularity of loud color
combinations reached its peak;
during the Korean War, said
the designers. " Today, rthey
added, colors are toning down,
but bright pastels still are the
leaders in apparel, home dec
orations, autdmobiles, and
giftware.
This year's top colors are
persimmon and warm yellow,
said designer Ruth Sloan of
California. Next year's may be
pink and orange, or aqua blue
and green.
" How do designers determine
which color will be popular at
a certain time?
Miss Sloan said home deco
ration colors once followed
the fashionable colors of ap
parel. "We used to be several
years behind apparels," she
sajd. "Now we go hand in
hand with them."
National household maga
zines, advertising agencies,
and the designers, themselves,
conduct surveys among the
nation's women to find their
color preferences. They also
make studies of the women's
family and economic status
and of the world situation.
"It's: fascinating," Miss
Sloan said. "I will show a
woman a chart with dozens of
color variations. She will al
most immediately pick a color
in agreement with the major
ity of those surveyed. She will
not know why she chose the
color, but it works almost
every time."

Medford Woman Installed
Toastmistress Council Head
Mrs. James VanderSteen,
126 Clover lane, was installed
chairman pt Council 4 of

eon meeting Sunday, July 12,
in the Pioneer room at the

Rowena McDonald, and . sec
ond vice-chairman, Mrs: Reba
Martz, both of Klamath Falls,
and secretary-treasurer," Mrs.
C. H. Redmond, also Medford.
Mrs. Elmer Ness as install
ing officer effectively used on
the rostrum a large wheel on
which she compared the" tire
to the regional Toastmistress
organization, and the rim to
the local ' council. The hub
represented the council chair-,
man, while the spokes of the
wheel were made up on the
seven council clubs and- the
three other council-officers.
Cooperative ', Toastmistress"
members were compared ' to
the grease for -the wheel nec
essary to prevent the" wear
of friction. Mrs. Ness named
the wheel as one of the most
important of all inventions; if i
it went into disuse it would
virtually disorganize society.
The council meeting opened
with registration and a coffee
hour at which club problems
were informally discussed, i
The retiring council chair
man, Mrs. Mary Catherine
Powell, Grants Pass, gave the
invocation. Mrs. VanderSteen
welcomed the Toastmistress
representation from Eureka,
Calif., Grants Pass, Klamath
Falls and the local club.
' Mrs. Margaret Davies of
Klamath Falls reported on the
regional Toastmistress council
at Bellingham- in May as a
speech contestant, and Mrs.
VanderSteen reported as a
delegate. Constructive ideas
for increase of membership
were given as well as reports
on workshops covering proto
col, program planning, and
other subjects of interest to
the club.
It was announced that the
Toastmistress clubs of this
area will have an opportunity
to meet the incoming national
president of International
Toastmistress Clubs, Inc., Mrs.
Ethel Daniel, at a luncheon to
be held August 22 at the
Rogue River lodge on Crater
Lake highway.
For yesterday's meeting,

words. We found a number of nature's rock gardens, with
clumps of the lupine, the phlox, the little balls of pink fluff
which some call "pussy paws" and other low-growing plants
which we could not identify.
In spite of the clouds, we could see majestic Mt. Shasta,
and the purplish-green timbered slopes, and even an occa
sional patch of snow on a steep slope. Mr. Meredith's food
may have been better than what Pappy and Potpourri ate.
But this scenery couldn't have been any more beautiful. O.S.

methods of developing topics
such as pro and con, contrast,

The Medford club gave a skit

If fruit juice boils over
from a pie, remove the syrup

To finish cleaning the
oven,' saturate paper towels

in the cooled oven overnight,
with the tioor closed. The next
morning the oven can -be
washed clean easily.
Tasty and hearty, this is a salad you can count on for a really

Generally Becoming
Well, they may lack moxie,
but they're generally becoming.
Trends in dresses, coats,
sutis, hats, furs and accesso
ries will be reported in detail
this week by some 250 report
ers from the nation's newspa
pers, radio and television sta
tions. They are in New York
for the semi-annual "press
week," held by the couture
group of the New York Dress
Institute. All told, the report
ers will see 60 designer col
lections.
The major trends:
A mannish look for day
with man-tailored suits re
vived, with milliners copying
fedoras, . derbies and hom
burgs, and with suit jackets
copies either of men's smok
ing jackets complete with
bathrobe belt, or the classic
three-button with the bottom
button worn open..
Opulence for late day and
evening, In lavish fur trims,
in costly fabrics like cut vel

broidered silks, lace layered
on lace and bead-covered chiffons.
Belts accent natural waist
lines, with some circlets as
wide as three inches. Many of
the belts are soft, crushable.
suede or kid. Many are of
self-fabric built into the gar
ment, cummerbund fashion.
The familiar shirtwaist, a
best -seller .summer long,
moves right into winter, in
daytime wools, evening silks.
Jackets Are Longer
Suits have jackets longer
than last year, most of them
reaching the wristbone when
the arm is down. Some jackets
are boxy and unbuttoned; oth
ers are buttoned, in single
and double-breasted versions,
and shaped slightly to the
waist. Still others are belted.
The majority of suit skirts are
slim cut, but a few have knife
or flat box pleats.
Coats come with a little
more swing and fullness to '
the back. Returned in many
collections-the princess coat.
Necklines range from wide
shawl collars, small stand-up
collars, or no collars with an
ascot of fur tucked in for
warmth.
