HELP US! We Need Clothing, Shoes, Dishes, Furniture. We Pick Up. HELP OTHERS! The Salvation Army SPring 3-7335 Last week's scorching weather took its toll in our garden. Pappy reported glumly that his sweet corn, which had been growing tall and green, looks somewhat yellow and down-at-heels now, In spite of constant and deep watering. One of Potpourri's big petunia plants covered "with pretty ruffled blossoms curled up during the searing heat, and the fuchsias suffered badly. Countess of Aberdeen, which had just started to put out its tiny pink flowers which are eo lovely, dropped every single leaf and blossom. Snowflake, 18 inches tall and with glossy, green leaves, is now almost completely defoliated. California dropped its buds, but the leaves seem to be in good condition. .Only the strong-growing red Marinkas, the hardy Magellanicas and a trailing one which came from the garden of Mrs. O. A. Eden still look healthy and failed to lose their blossoms. Had we dreamed that the 100-plus weather was going to last so long, Potpourri would have carried the tenderest plants into the house for the duration. Another year of this kind of weather, and we would consider abandoning fuchsias and begonias in favor of only geraniums and marigolds. A silver bowl is a handsome and traditional gift, but it isn't often that the bowls are presented other than empty. The large silver bowl which board members of the Jackson County Public Health association gave Dr. and Mrs. A. E. Merkel Wednesday night as a farewell gift was filled with homemade cookies. Dr. Merkel has a sweet tooth, and this fact is well known to the nurses and public health workers, both professional and volunteer, who have worked with this highly-respected and kindly man throughout the years. After the reception which the association gave for the Merkels last Wednesday was underway, Mrs." Jack Walker whisked the gift into the kitchen and heaped it with cookies from the sweets which hostesses had brought for the party. Both Dr. and Mrs. Merkel have been faithful and active members of Medford Seventh-day Adventist church, and their Adventist friends also gave them a farewell party. This was planned as a surprise, which took a little contriving on the part of the planners. . The party announcement could not go into the regular church bulletin, for that would be delivered to the Merkels. So Mrs. Kenneth Kanberg made several hundred announce ments and these were inserted with the weekly bulletins of all four valley Adventist churches in order that all members, excepting the honored guests, would be informed of the special event. Once a guest at a White House party showed up wearing a dress which was almost an exact duplicate of the one worn by Mrs. Eisenhower. The guest was flustered and red-faced, and the designer who had somehow let this social blunder come about, moaned afterwards "I wish I could die." This must have been nothing, however, as compared to the buzz which took place in London recently when Princess Margaret and her lady in waiting appeared at a showing of new fashions wearing identical dresses. The Princess had been to ' Belfast to launch a ship, and arrived home with hardly enough time to dress. She was hurriedly assisted into a turquoise blue cocktail dress and went downstairs. She found waiting for her Miss Iris Peake wearing an almost identical gown. The Princess had on black slippers, and Miss Peake's were white. Miss Peake said "What a faux pas. It was a genuinely unfortunate occurence. We always guard against this sort of thing. I think it is really the first time that we've slipped up." It was reported that when the two young women entered the show room, side by side "the big room buzzed with whispers from the fashion experts, some of them clawingly catty." Commenting on a Graham Sutherland design the Princess said "That combination is a great favorite with myself - and my lady in waiting." Wonder what it would be like to have a lady in waiting. All the society editor has is men in waiting - Pappy waiting in the car while we hunt for the right shade of lipstick and a fresh pair of white gloves and editors and printers waiting to snatch the copy from our hands and put it into waiting type.-O.S. Couple Motors East and Return Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Mc Cullough, 29 North Keeneway drive, recently spent three weeks driving from Oregon to the East coast and return.
