S&H GREEN STAMPS
ON ALL CASH PURCHASES
Portland-We spent more than four hours at the Oregon
Centennial Exposition yesterday afternoon and saw only a
small part of what is offered. Perhaps if those who are criti
cal of the Exposition and say it is disappointing took more
time, their reaction might be more favorable.
Having heard in the hotel that the Exposition is losing
money daily, we inquired of a guard at the gate if this was
true. He said that the rumor persists, but he had no official
word. The special attractions are what brings the crowds he
said-Art Linkletter drew thousands, the largest crowds so far.
Our tour started with the Forest Products pavilion-this
extremely interesting and graceful structure stands out and
so we made our way toward it. Designed by the Portland
architect, John Storrs, this pavilion is a series of "seven
hyperbolic paraboloids" according to the booklet which the
attendant offered us. Not having a dictionary, we'll have to
wait to look up these words. At any rate, the roof is made in
a series of sweeping outward and inward curves that suggest
flight and space-we found it beautiful.
In the middle of the pavilion stands what might be
termed a piece of wood sculpture, the work of Manuel
Irquierdo, a Mexican artist, we were told.' Formed of scores
of pieces of wood of all sizes, shapes and descriptions, it
might seem at first glance to be nothing more than a hodge
podge. Some of the pieces of wood are straight and sturdy
others gracefully curved or shaped-it might represent all
the multitude of different colors and races and personalities
that go to make up Oregon, or America, we thought.
The pretty and intelligent attendant was eager to talk
about the pavilion and the sculpture. When Potpourri ex
pressed pleasure at the entire exhibit, she said with a note of
bitterness "You are one in a thousand-I hear almost nothing
but complaint that the whole exhibit is stupid and poorly
done. Would you have us replace the Irquierdo sculpture
with a fake covered wagon as many suggest?" she asked.
We said no-that to have put a covered wagon in its place
would be to deny Oregon's 100 years of progress.
Another part of the exhibit, sponsored by the West Coast
Lumberman's association (of which Medford's A. A. Laus
mann is treasurer now) brought a lump to our throat. A series
of greatly enlarged photographs show loggers at work. The
broad shoulders and back of one, Jhe frayed "tin" pants and
heavy calked boots of another, might have been pictures of
father. The so-called "tin" clothes which loggers once wore
in the rainy weather were so stiff that father stood them in
a corner of the back porch when he took them off after work.
Other parts of the exhibit are interesting and imaginative.
The attendant had one parting thought. "Most people aren't
really seeing this exhibit," she said sadly. "They walk
through and look, but they don't really see."
.
We were not disappointed in the Fine Arts section, either.
Yesterday (Monday), this part of the Exposition was almost
deserted. Only about six other persons were looking at the
section devoted to Oregon artists at the time we were there,
and only two others were in the section devoted to photog
raphy. The work of 34 women and 58 men is shown and here
again, the criticism has been loud, we understand. Oregonians
cannot understand why there are no pictures of Crater Lake
and Mt. Hood. The answer of those who selected the paintings-after
traveling all over the state to visit a series of re
gional shows, is that "it was not the jury's intention to com
pile a Baedecker in paint, nor to confine itself to the simply
illustrative in art. Katner they cnose worKs wnicn naa
something to say" about the meaning and beauty of Oregon.
For $1 a booklet inay be obtained which has photographs
some in color, of all the works and commentary. There are
also colored reproductions of some for sale.
Potpourri went back and forth so many times in front of
the attendant's desk that at length we apologized. "Oh, that's
all right," she said. "I've just quit counting you." ,
Almost it is a waste of time to just spend 30 or 40 minutes
trying to look at this many paintings. One cannot "see" a
work of art at a glance. Of course we paid particular atten
tion to the works of Eugene.Bennett and Ruth Tucker-Rogue
valley artists included in the show, and decided that southern
Oregon residents could well be proud of these artists. Mrs.
Tucker's "Oregon Homestead" is described as an impres
sionistic painting "concerned with general appearance and
the elimination or minimizing of detail." In the booklet, her
Daintine is included in the "Moods of Nature" section and
Mr. Bennett's is in the "Forms of Nature." Of his work the
booklet states that he is one of a group of artists interested
in "careful, but not botanical, studies of plant form's." The
work, an oil in shades of pink and lavender, is entitled
"Spring Garden."
The work of another Medford artist is to be seen in the
"International Garden of Tomorrow." We had just about com
pleted our lingering tour of the garden when we came upon
Betty Allen's sculpture piece entitled "Paladin." Since we
first saw the piece in her studio at the (Eric) Allen's home,
and had viewed it two or three times since, in shows and
classes, it was rather like meeting a friend.
The pieces of sculpture, placed at intervals in the back
ground, add greatly to the impression of the garden as a
whole. The work of women sculptors is as imposing as that
entered by the men. We found a work called "The Aspiring
Tree" by Mary Louise Feldenheimer also beautiful and in
teresting. Potpourri had a notion, to put down her purse and
collection of literature yesterday and go to work in the
flower garden. The roses are in full bloom, for the most
part, and very beautiful. And the masses of brilliant
tuberous begonias are a feast for the eyes, with scarcely a
dead leaf of flower to be seen. But the poor fuchsias! Either
they are not being given proper care, or else the weather in
Portland has been as hard on them as it has been in Med
ford. The plants, it is easy to see, were large and healthy
when put in the garden, but now there are many dead
and withered leaves and the daily removal of dead blossoms
is neglected.
Even so, we enjoyed the entire garden a great deal and
took many notes on the names of roses and fuchsias. The
lilies are in bloom now, also, and one bed' gave off a divine
perfume. Hoping that no one was looking, we put one foot
hastily over the rope barrier and leaned down for a closer
sniff.
The floral clock is attracting a great deal of attention.
It is a large flower bed, somewhat higher at the back. The
hours are marked with lobelia in two shades of blue,
alyssum and marigolds with an edge of dwarf marigolds.
Toward the center are masses of red salvia and heather,
and the two hands are planted to bush marigolds. It is a
delightful bit of whimsy, and it keeps proper time. Almost
everyone yesterday was taking pictures of the clock, and
checking the position of the hands with wrist watches.
At the far end of the. garden is located the House of
Religious History. The round structure is utterly hideous
from the outside - but inside it presents a better appear
ance. A series of large murals by an artist named Morris
we found pertinent and meaningful. Ranged round the
room are cases with articles and historical notes provided
by the various faiths of this state. In the late afternoon
we found the room very crowded and in spite of large
signs outside which asked the visitors to be quiet in keep
ing with the tone of the exhibit, four half-grown boys were
racing madly round the room jumping over the "benches
with shouts and yells.
By 6 p.m. Potpourri was utterly exhausted and both

OILIOIOUS
PICKLES
our arms and feet ached. We had spent some time also in
the foreign exhibits they, to our mind, are worth seeing.
The Japanese, for instance, included art work done by
school children of that land. The exhibits of China and
Morocco are well done and attract many visitors.
We had no time to visit any of Adventure Land, had
only skimmed the surface in the Centennial building. One
afternoon, obviously, is not enough, to see the Exposition.
But it is better than nothing. If you-are planning to visit
the " Exposition, be sure to wear comfortable shoes, pre
ferably with closed toes and heels since the grounds are
covered with a combination of sawdust and chips, or small
gravel. There are strollers and wheelchairs available for
rental, and spots where picnic lunches may be spread.
Luckily for Pal Peg, who must edit this, and the
readers, this is our last piece of copy paper. And we are
off to see what Portland offers for the visitor. O.S.
