14 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Or. Sunday, Dec. 13, 1959 Lt, Brad Morris and his wife, Carol, have decided that policemen are wonderful particularly Oklahoma state po licemen. A corps of officers from that state helped the young. couple out of a dismal situation recently in such a willing and downright neighborly fashion that Carol and Brad are now singing their praises at every opportunity. Mrs. M. related the story of their plight and rescue in a recent letter to her mother, Mrs. Wayne Stine. "Here we are ' in Oklahoma City," wrote Carol. "We had planned to make it to Fort Smith, Ark., but I goofed. I left my purse in a cafe about 50 miles west of here. We were just sick. It had our money in it and all sorts of things. At first we were just numb and then we thought we would go on but we. knew we just didn't have enough money left. "We called the Oklahoma State patrol and inquired about the restaurant. We couldn't even remember "the name of the place, or exactly what little town it was in. Mr. Marx (of the patrol) told us to come down to his office and he would see if he could locate it. Well, we didn't know what anyone could do, but we went. Mr. Marx is almost completely crippled except he has the use of his hands, a little, and -he really does marvelously. He took all sorts of descriptions from us, and spent two hours or more trying to locate the purse. He called all the various troopers along the route, giving the descriptions of the cafe, etc. Finally after a lot of extra work for the troopers, Mr. Marxj and a couple of dispatchers, they located my purse in Clinton. "But that's not the amazing part. 'To save us time, they relayed the purse from' trooper to trooper all the way back to the city limits of Oklahoma City where Mr. Marx went with us to meet the nearest trooper. The time and effort those men took was just wonderful. We didn't have any idea how to thank them enough. ... -. '"We drove Mr. Marx to his home and he helped us locate a wonderful motel and cafe. Then to top it off, he called to see if we were all settled and if we needed any help with directions out of town. He also recommended a much shorter and better route to Memphis which cut our time down at least three hours. . - "Well, Brad and I have learned a few things. Help comes from the most unexpected sources and Oklahoma hospital ity is marvelous." . . The officer, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Morris, his wife and their infant daughter, Krista, were en route to Fort Lee, Va., where he will be stationed for six months in the Army Quartermaster corps. : Potpourri and Photographer Bob returned to the office from last week s picture-making tour with more than pic tures. We had a little teasel tree made by Mrs. William Tycer's nimble fingers, two persimmons from the trees in the Inskeep garden, a handful of red fruit from a strawberry bush in the Heitkamp garden, a little wooden tree with half-inch high candles, and pleasant memories of friendly co operative folk who went to a lot of trouble to help with the pictures. The pleasant feeling was also partly due to the coffee and delicious pastry which we paused for at 5 o'clock at Mrs. Wilma Krebs home. , - Mrs. Krebs, Mrs. Ins keep's mother, posed with the "heirloom" Christmas .wreath which she made a number of years ago while she was president of Wy East Garden club,' Zigzag, Ore. Mrs. Krebs, who came to Medford a few years ago to make her home near the Inskeeps, recalled Tuesday that the club . women made a number of the big wreaths for sale as a garden club project. Constructed of cones, nuts, pods and other dried and preserved material, the wreaths were made to last for many years-hence the designation ."heirloom." Mrs. Krebs' wreath has mostly Oregon material, including alder catkins, cones from vari ous trees, some "fringed," varnished walnuts, rhododendren pods and the small round cones from an Arizona cypress tree. The visit to the Heitkamp home ended a search for "something old" in the way of Christmas decorations. Many of the articles used in the Heitkamp home each holiday sea son were brought from Germany and are either the same or duplicates of decorations which Mrs. Heitkamp's family used in their home at Wuerttembert, near Stuttgart, in Ger many. For those who believe that music boxes used as 'tree stands are new listen to this-Mrs. Heitkamp's family owned one many years ago when she was a small child. Monday Pal Peg had been telling us about Christmas trees which Les Frisk made from plywood-constructed of two pieces with slots at the bottom which fit together to form four bough-like sides. Neither of us had seen such trees before. Tuesday Mrs. Heitkamp's collection yielded up sim ilar German-made miniature trees which the family has had for years and years. It's just like the saying goes there's nothing new under the. sun. O.S. at Vfairty (tlhmimm S A mighty important room for the whole family, that kitchen. There's where Mom spends a big share of her day, cooking and baking the things that taste so good at mealtime. Why not give the kitchen a Christmas gift and the whole family, too, at the same time.
