f, X i: V I. '.J I r. J. The "fountain of youth" at Rogue Valley Country club ran dry last Saturday evening before Pappy and Potpourri arrived. The fountain, set up by Dr. and Mrs. Bruce Stan ley and the James Sheldons for the club's "Ship Wrecked" party, bubbled forth such a magic potion that the eager guests drank it dry in no time at all. Even if it was dry, the fountain still looked cool and attractive. Set up on the terrace outside the clubhouse door, the committee arranged it in a setting of rocks, moss, plants and seaweed and arranged somehow for the punch to bubble out the top and trickle down over silver foil to a pool at the bottom. . ' Mrs. Darrell Miller and Mrs. Lee Flink, dressed as island girls in grass skirts and leis, ladled out the punch for the thirsty guests. The clubhouse had been quite transformed by the Shel dons and the Stanleys. Fish nets, glass floats, chests spilling forth gold coins, artistic drift wood pieces and seaweed were arranged everywhere. In this interesting setting strolled club members wearing all manner of costumes. Mrs. Edward Sickels wore a colorful sarong, Mrs. Sheldon had on a blue and white sun dress with a lei of fresh flowers and Mrs. Stanley, who said she didn't have time to change her clothing after working at the clubhouse all '" day, had on pedal pushers, a striped jersey and a straw hat with fruit on it. Mr. Sheldon achieved a light-hearted mood by wearing a brand new gaudy night shirt with little " cap to match. v Others also chose to believe that they had been "ship wrecked" after retiring for the night. The R. E. Menckes were among these, with Mrs. Mencke wearing a frothy gown and negligee, and. her husband the last word in warm , weather short pajamas with plunging neckline. Mrs. Allan Holmes wore a sarong and went to the , trouble of dying her hair black and leaving it uncombed. ' One friend said admiringly, "She looked just real witchy." Over all this gaiety Jimmy Dunlevy, club manager, presided with a benevolent air wearing blue denims, a close-fitting jersey and an admiral's hat. Or maybe it was a fireman's hat. Actress Ginger Rogers told Potpourri last week that she will leave the Rogue valley soon in order to prepare for rehearsals of a new stage play. Miss Rogers, who with her ,, mother, Mrs. Lela Rogers, has been spending a vacation at their ranch on the Rogue river, has signed for the leading role in "Pink Jungle." This is the latest play of Leslie Stevens and is the story of a business woman who fights for the presidency of a large cosmetic' firm. Stevens also wrote 'The Marriage-Go-Round" which is playing on Broadway now with Charles Boyer and Claudette Colbert in the leads. "Pink Jungle" will be directed by Joseph Anthony. Some thing new will be tried with this piece - it will be rehearsed and opened in San Francisco, and then taken to New York ' later. Miss R. says that this will 'be the first time she has ever opened a play in the Bay City, but the director and backers are hopeful because S.F. has the reputation of being a good show town. .Ginger said present plans call for rehearsals to start in . September and for the show to open in San Francisco in late October or early November. It will be booked at the Alcazar. There's always a new fish story going the rounds and yesterday John Parsons contributed the latest one heard around the news room. Mr. Parsons, son-in-law of Seth (Sat urday) Bullis, said that recently he went fishing and came back with a real good catch 12 or 15. good-sized fish. Weary from his labors, Mr. Parsons put the fish down in the kitchen and took himself off to another part of the house for a nap. When he returned an hour later, the fish were gone. One of the Parsons children had put the whole kit and kaboodle down' the disposal. Seems the culprit doesn't like fish.-O.S. Precautions Against Accidents Urged By Public Health Service By LOUIS CASSELS . United Press International Wasnjngton-rtlPD-Nearly 16 million American children-one out tf every three youngsters under 15-were injured last year in accidents. This does NOT include minor wounds treated at home with love-and-liniment. It includes only injuries serious enough to send a child to a doctor, or to keep him out of school one or more days. 1 I your CONTINUED" STORY h happy family 5 Keep a continual, living record of your family in professional portraits from our studio . , all the milestones you pass so happily together.

Public Health service show that a third of the fatal accidents, and more than half the non fatal accidents, occurred while children were in the supposed "safety" of their homes. Most accidents could have been prevented if parents had taken reasonable precautions, said Dr. Leroy E. Burney, sur geon general of the Public Health Service. To cut down accidents among children, the Public Health Service and the Chil dren's Bureau made a list of safety tips for parents.. Saefty Rules Here are some recommends tions: Use high shelves or locked cupboards to store lye, bleach es, garden sprays, rat bait, kerosene, insect powders, am monia, permanent wave solu tions, turpentine, moth crys tals, cleaning fluids, and fur niture polish. About 600,000 children, mostly under age two, are poisoned each year by swallowing household poisons. Keep knives, icepicks, scis sors, needles and other sharp utensils out of reach. . If. you store lawnmowers, hedge .clippers, saws or ma chinery in your garage or basement, keep the doors closed. When cooking, turn the handles of pans on the stove away from the front, so that a child can't pull them over. When young children are about, use table mats instead of tablecloths that hang over the table edge. A toddler's tug may bring hot coffee or soup down on him. An adult should be present when small children play in bathtubs to prevent scalding or drowning. Keep matches out of reach of young children. Teach old er children to use matches safely. Keep stairs free. Teach chil dren to put away toys that might cause falls. Avoid high polish on floors. Small rugs should have non-skid backing. Teach children to have a healthy fear of moving vehi cles and to cross streets only at crosswalks with the traffic light. Before crossing a street with your child, remind him to look in both directioris- don't let him depend on you to look. Always make sure no child is playing in the drive way before backing out a car. Then check again. Drain Bottles Drain old medicine bottles down the toilet before throw ing them away. Never keep sleeping pills, aspirin, poisons or drugs in unlocked bathroom cabinets. If you use flavored medi cines, be sure to tell your child it is medicine. Don't trick him into thinking it's candy. Never leave a sleeping child alone in the house, even for a few minutes. Check window screens an nually to make sure they are fastened securely and the wire is not rusted. String clotheslines so high that children cannotvrun into them. If you have Venetian blinds', cut open the. loop at the end of the cords to eliminate the chance of a child getting his head caught in a noose. (You'd be surprised hpw often it hap pens.) Buy electric appliances that bear the safety label of Under writers Laboratories. Replace worn cords promptly. Tape over unused electric outlets within a child's reach. Don't use portable electric heaters in bathrooms. Inspect toys frequently to be sure they have not become dangerous from use. Don't put a child to bed with playthings Judges Named For High Court Salem - (UPD - Two circuit judges were named Friday to be pro tern justices of the Ore gon Supreme court starting in September.
