When chalk-filled they can be washed with soap or detergent suds. Women's News Events Social Wallachs of New York may not thank Potpourri for this, but they are advertising a little card which lists the holidays, movable feast days and special occasions for 1960. One year the store printed the list, and so many of their customers suggested that it be put on a card which could be tucked into a billfold or wallet, that the firm followed the advice. They recently printed the 1960 list in an advertisement which says there is a supply in all of the store brances, or that they'll be pleased to mail them. Wonder if the store would be surprised to receive such requests from way out in Oregon. Come to think of it, why don't we just snitch the list and reprint it here?

Quick year, wasn't it. Just wait until we find a list of tte special weeks. It will never go into one column probably would take a whole page. There's National Eat More Sauerkraut Week, and Na tional Potato Chip Week, and National Dill Pickle Week and hundreds of others to promote food. Then there are many with a really noble purpose, such as United Nations' week, and National Brotherhood week and National Educa tion week and National Hospital week and National Book week and National Health week and National Save the' Children week and thrice as many more as there are weeks in the year. Wire Editor Harry Chipman and Potpourri have been talking for years about starting a special week, too. It's going to be called National Don't Do Anything week. Would anyone like to join us? i Numerous celebrities of the entertainment world have dined at Mon Desir inn, and Sunday night it was Actress Joan Blondell, currently starring in "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs," and the rest of the cast were were en route to Portland from San Francisco. They were registered for the night at Travelodge, and spent about four hours at the inn, having dinner, dancing and relaxing after the bus trip north from S.F. 1 The company is traveling by private bus, and Miss Blon dell is taking along her two dogs, Bridey Murphy and Fresh ness.The actors and others of the troupe dined on veal scal lopini, prime bee! ribs and lobster tails and ordered Cha teauneaus du Pape burgundy.

Postal History Reviewed For Group Members Members and guests at the recent meeting of the South ern Oregon Stamp club heard Clyde Smith, Ashland, speak on the early postal history of this country. Illustrated with selections from his extensive collection, Mr. Smith's presen tation dealt with the postal rates and routes' during the 100 year period prior to the issuance of stamps by our na tion in 1847. During this time the cost of mailing a letter varied con siderably, depending on the distance it was to be carried. Postage was quite often charg ed to the recipient. This led to considerable loss of reve nue, since the person could refuse the letter, or perhaps could not even be located. Mr. Smith also installed the officers for 1960. These are Elmer J. Binker, president; Mrs. Eric dePlace, vice-president; Mrs. Mabel Houck, sec retary; and Frank Applegate, treasurer. Mr. Binker appointed as di rectors for the coming year Melvin W. Dixon, member ship; Russell L. Herbert, pro gram; and Mrs. Irene Cordier, refreshments.
