Family Eating
Better for Less,
Official Claims
Champaign, 111. - (UPD - The
American family," that two
generations ago spent half its
income on foods, eats better
today on less thanv25 per cent
of its take-home pay, says the
president of the Illinois Can
ning company, in Hoopeston.
Louis Ratzesberger, at the
Ag-Industries Forum at the
University of Illinois, pointed
to recent studies. They show
ed that if families were con
tent to buy the same type and
quantity of food per person as
they did before World War II,
they could do so, with an out
lay of only 16 per cent of
their budgets.
Ratzesberger attributed the
difference between that figure
and the 25 per cent they actu
ally spend to improvements
in the food industry, which
consumers desire.
People want canned or "con
venience foods" because they
save time, provide better bal
anced meals, and actually cost
less than fresh or raw foods,
or the cost of ingredients mak
ing up the products, he said.
He cited an average pack
aged devil's food cake, made
from prepared mix and two
eggs, which costs 41 cents.
Made "from scratch" it costs
53 cents. And concentrated
orange juice, costs about half
that of the home squeezed
variety, he said.

Spokane-What do five women who have not seen one an
other for more than 20 years talk about? Last night (Satur
day) Potpourri held a reunion with four Kappa Delta sorority
sisters whom we had not seen since leaving Spokane to live
in Medford.
There was the usual embracing, the wistful talk about
grey hair, sagging chins and the horrible fact that we all
face the future through bifocals, and a lot of talk about sons,
daughters and grandchildren. During the rest of the long
evening the conversation kept coming back to one subject
American education and schools.
These five "older girls" plus one younger woman, all are
highly critical of the schools in Washington and Oregon, but
by no means discouraged over their state. Since one member
of the group teaches mathematics and one is the wife of a
music teacher in another high school in the area, the conver
sation didn't just represent "the people against the schools."
The six women agreed that school children and students
in this country need to work harder, need more solid sub
jects in high school and college and fewer fluff courses. They
also agreed that if the schools don't make the children and
young people work hard enough, it is because this attitude
of do as little as you can and "get by" reflects the general
attitude of the nation.
High schools in this area also reflect one problem com
mon to much of the nation - the still unequal distribution
of money for schools and the fact that needed money is
often voted down by a public which cannot seem to realize
the importance of adequate plants and facilities. The Spo
kane women said that one high school is crippling along
with a building which is heavily over-crowded and falling
apart at the seams from long years of use; another a few
miles away in a richer district has a brand-new building
so beautiful and well equipped that it is the envy of patrons
and students in other districts and the focal point of criti
cism of those who believe that the schools spend too much
money on plants and equipment. ,
Some schools are holding classes in other buildings
at a distance from the main plant they are so heavily
overcrowded.
.
Potpourri flew to Spokane early Saturday morning by
Northwest airlines,- getting up at 5 a.m. after a few hours
sleep in order to be on time for the 6 a.m. call of the
limousine to the airport. One other woman was waiting at
the Multnomah hotel entrance, and we fell into conversa
tion. She turned out to be Mrs: Bert V. Havard, en route
back to Medford after a stay in Salt Lake City.
The Havards are being transferred to the Utah city
by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway company after
spending the past five years in Medford.
The flight to Spokane was delightful. The plane soon
was above the overcast which covered Portland and the
immediate area, and in no time at all the beautiful mountain
peaks came into view - Mt. Hood to the right and Mt. Adams
and St. Helens to the left, with from time to time glimpses of
others in the far distance.
Craning our neck to see through the tiny porthole like
window, we wished that the plane could be made of some
transparent material so that passengers could see all around.
The rolling hills of central Washington look like folds
of brown velvet from the air, with patches embroidered
in green. When the grain fields came into view, we were
fascinated again by the artistic patterns made by the plow
ing and planting machines.
i "Before, we had time to read even one booklet from the
big envelope which we brought along as a hangover from
the presswomen's convention, the pretty stewardess was
announcing that we were approaching Spokane - less than
two hours after leaving Portland.
The quickness of the trip
bv a man we met in Portland.
he set forth recently to go to Chicago by train. A brother
was leaving LA some time later to fly to the same city by
jet plane. When the tram passenger was about Z5u nines
out of Chicago, the brother left the California city, and
arrived at their common destination 15 minutes before the
train pulled in.
Oregon's Governor Hatfield spoke briefly for the final
banquet of the NFPW banquet, and in contrast to Stewart
Holbrook. Oregon author who
and who told the visitors to go home and stay there, invited
the visitors to come to Oregon and make their home. As
a matter of fact, Potpourri heard any number of the con
ventioneers say they would like to live in one of the western
states. One Iowan, who accompanied his wife to the conven
tion, planned to stay on in Oregon in an effort to buy a
weekly newspaper. He owns a chain of such papers in the
Mid-West, and likes everything about his native Iowa but
the climate. He asked many questions about the Oregon
climate, and we tried to answer truthfully. We told him
that the northwest part of the state has a lot of rain, as
does the Willamette valley, and that the Medford area has
a good climate with the exception of a few ultra-hot days
in the summer, and the cursed fog and smog in the winter
time. We also heard not one, but five or six women from far
away parts of the United States sighing over another Oregon
attraction-its good-looking men. One conversation took
place in the coffee shop of the Multnomah and we ha,d to
agree, looking at . the men along the counter and coming
back and forth through the doorway into the lobby, that
they were a mighty good-looking lot. Governor Hatfield and
his very pretty wife also added to the impression that the
state has more than its share of pulchritude.
One woman did have some criticism of Governor Hat-field-she
wanted to know why he gave such a "political"
speech. We didn't mind, however. The governor merely said
that Oregon is working hard to keep pace with the times in
all respeets, the state's present constitution is a "millstone
around our necks and must be changed" and described
briefly the new legisation which would handle emergencies
of succession caused by the incapacity of a governor.
He also pointed out that because of Oregon's unique
preferential presidential ballot in the primary election, this
state is looking forward to one of the liveliest campaigns
in its history.
Not everyone would have been interested in the closing
address of Mrs. Mabel Temby, the retiring president of
NFPW, but we were. Mrs. Temby and her husband also own
a weekly newspapers-theirs happens to be in Wisconsin,
and she reviewed some of her editorial career for her listen
ers. She told of the early discouraging years, when her hus
band, a man with only one hand, took a job doing physical
labor in an effort to pay the bills which they inherited when
they bought the paper. During the war years Mrs. Temby
ran the paper- doing absolutely everything but run their
one linotype and the heavy task of lifting the forms on the
old hand-fed press. This latter job was done by the postman,
or any man who happened to be around at the time.
When the paper eventually began to make a little profit,
the Tembys bought a new press. Without consulting his wife,
Mr. T. named the press and painted the name on the side
in shocking pink paint. It says "Mabel."
In spite of the impressive array of speakers - editors,
newsmen, authors, publicists, scientists, etc., Potpourri
though Mrs. Temby told the two best stories of the conven-
reminded us of a story told

time about buying a new car and one day, without saying
a word to his wife, Mr. T. decided to sell the old car. So he
wrote an advertisement describing the virtues of the family
automobile and put it in the classifieds-in the manner which
is known as a "blind ad." When the paper came out his
wife read the advertisement, said to herself, this is the kind
of car we need, and answered it.

about productive thinking,
and what may encourage, or
hamper it, and determining
what role the teacher plays
in this type of thinking.
- Recordings made in a social

Fancy Bathroom
Accessories in
Chicago Show
By MARGUERITE DAVIS
United Preses International
Chicago-DPD-A walnut bath
tub frame with head and foot
bords covered in soft pink
leather is available for any
one with $760 to spend.
The purchaser probably
would want the matching lav
atory cover by Meldan, much
like a break-front in design, to
be had for $2,012. And there's
a commode cover chair done
in walnut and cane of antique
white with gold leaf trim, for
$345.
These are among the fancy
bathroom fixtures and acces
sories shown by Hargri, Inc.,
obviously designed to make
the decorator forcet about
budget restrictions.
The Marion Weiler line in
cludes wash bowls adorned
with gold or silver plate de
signs and faucets and spouts to
match. The motif, including
cherubs, swans, fish and shells
is repeated in every accessory
glass holder, towel rings or
bars, toilet tissue holders,
door knobs and soap dishes.
Gold-plated door knobs in
the Louis XV style cost $45
a pair, and a soap dish formed
by silver plated cherubs hold
ing a lucite bowl carries a $36
price tag.
Such a bathroom no doubt
would be large enough to ac
commodate a chaise lounge
and lamp table, and Goodman-
Dean-Scott shows a boudoir
lamp that would fit. The crys
tal base is overlaid with pink
and bhie ribbons and rose
buds. Complete with silver
shade, it sells for $175.
And for the walls there are
decorative glass panels, over
laid with jeweled fans, combs,
cigarette lighters and holders,
and costume jewelry. A 20 x
37 inch panel is priced at
$97.50.
