14 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mte'fore', Or. The week tnd mall included a note from the Tribune'! Hornbrook correspondent, Katherine Chapman, who had a story to add to last Thursday's recital about long-distance telephone calls. Mrs. Chapman said not lung ago her phone rang and man's voice asked, "Is Mr. Piper there?" Mrs. C. replied that no one by that name lived at her house, and asked what number had the caller wanted. He gave a number with a Grover prefix, and said he was calling from Nassau county, New York. He was trying to reach someone in the next town. When Mr. Nassau County found out that somehow his call had ended up hundreds of miles away in Hornbrook, northern California, he sputtered and steamed and declaimed "This is utterly ridiculous." To which Mrs. Hornbrook readily agreed. Mrs. Chapman ended her note by saying that this made the third such call in recent weeks, the first two having been from Fresno, Calif. One was a man trying to reach a feed store, and the other was calling his lawyer. "Is Pappy sure that this is better than smoke signals?" asked Mrs. Chapman, plaintively. Mrs. Owen Kunkel came by the desk not long ago with some PTA convention information, and also a bit of news about her brother, Ibsen Nelsen. Mr. Nelsen, a Seattle archi tect, was recently the subject of an article in the magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, which described a home the former Medford man had designed for a Seattle family. The architect, a graduate of Medford High school, later studied at the University of Oregon. One of his latest assignments was designing the new Boy Scout headquarters in Seattle. We've never met Mr. Nelsen, but we aren't likely to forget his name. Years ago, we wrote a story about him - the story of his marriage. The name was strange to us. and somehow, it got turned around in the story. As reported by the Tribune, Nelsen Ibsen had been married. Come to think of it, right this minute we aren't sure whether the Ibsen comes before or after the Nelsen. Potpourri's friends and relatives are really very helpful. Especially when it comes to giving advice about Doll T, the little sports car. From Spokane came a letter from daughter which said "I think to complete the effect of Doll T. you should have a standard poodle, white, or a Russian wolfhound, to sit in the car and look down his nose at the peasants. Or a sedate weimaraner, if there is such a thing. I don't think Raus (her dog) will ever be anything remotely resembling sedate. Per haps a great Dane would achieve the desired effect." It is perfectly evident from this that daughter has the wrong impression of Doll. She's not the poodle, or wolfhound, or Dane type at all. More like a fox terrier, maybe. Photographer Bob Vroman is very helpful with his ad vice, too. Hearing that Potpourri had been forced to give up hauling so much cargo back and forth between home and the office, he said "Why don't you make some saddle bags and sling over the bonnet?" Regional Editor Bob Walters announced Monday that he finally had named his little sports car. R. E. Walters, after discarding Ralph, Hugo, Gus, Tricky Dick, Sam, Willard, . Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Carmen, Fritz and Mae West, at length hit Just the Tight name; "Remember B.R." You see, the regional editor was out wheeling around last Sunday afternoon, was stopped and presented with one of those greyish-green forms signed by Traftic Officer Robert Allen. So now, it's Remember B.R. He hopes the constant reminder will help to make his right foot lighter on the throttle.-O.S, Hornbrook Woman Models for Show Hornbrook Mrs. John MacKinnon was one of the SO women who modeled ap parel at the spring fashion show, "California Holiday," presented by the Yreka Meth odist church, This annual affair of the church was held April 9 at the Armory in Yreka.

(UPI Telephoto) East to West Migration Continuing For Germans By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor Berlin-IUPII-They cross the border between the East and West here at the rate of 270 to 300 a day. Last year, 91,000 of them left behind their homes, their farms, t h eir house hold goods, virtually ev erything they Guy Pauley owned except the clothes they wore to start new lives in the western world. Seldom does one whole family migrate together. They come piecemeal into this city from the Soviet, or east zone, of Germany. Some are seek ing freedom to do and say what they please. Some are political refugees. Some come because of better job oppor tunities. Some come because Communist land reforms have turned their farms into co operatives. They are farmers, factory workers, clerks, teachers, doctors, lawyers. Women Olunumber Men More women than men en ter through this "gateway to the west ' because since World War. II women have greatly outnumbered men In Germany, said Karl J. Ger mcr, minister for the refugee program in West Berlin, Gcrmer said approximately 6.5 per cent of the refugees settle in the western part of Ihe city. Others are flown to West Germany, which needs the manpower, but many ul timately establish new homes in Canada, Australia or the United Stales. Entry is fairly easy, he said.

I wear a demure, old-fashioned lin, it usually is a matter of a trolley ride west. Germer said the number of refugees steps up during any holiday period. Easter will mean an increase because children will be out of school, and parents will feel it is safer to move when there is no way for a teacher to re port an absentee. A refugee's first step Is at Marienfelde Camp for a med ical check and where author ities start compiling the rec ord of the refugee's back ground. None Turned Down No refugee is turned down, Germer said, and the Federal Republic of West Germany foots the bill for the pro gram. In all, he said, there are 10 refugee camps-six for families, four for young peo ple who come without their parents. Marienfelde is a series of two-story stucco buildings, barracks type, which can house 2,000. Rooms are equip ped with double-deck iron beds and mattresses, but little else. The families I saw looked neat and clean, but certainly not well to do. "Those with money don't go to the camps," Dr. Use Wolff, head of West Berlin's tourist board, told me. "They make direct con nection through friends in the West." Straws Leathers Whites Women's News Social Events Dr. Hollenbeck Speaks to Club About Science "What's New in Science" was the topic of the speech given by Dr. Irene Hollenbeck, associate professor of science at Southern Oregon college, at a luncheon meeting of the College Women's Club of the Rogue River Valley. The meet ing was Held at the college Saturday afternoon. Dr. Hollenbeck spoke of three phases of science, weath er, radiation and nucler sci ence. Each is still being ex plored, she said. Predicting weather in ad vance is based on history of the last 60 years, Miss Hollen beck said. Being able to calcu late weather in advance made it possible for the date set for the winter Olmpics, the speak er said. Scientists are trying to de termine tiie harmful effects of radiation and there is unlim ited exploration to be done in nuclear science, she added. Dr. Hollenbeck has been selected as one of a team of science teachers to tour West ern Europe this summer under the auspices of the National Science Teachers association.

A rest pe riod after roasting is es pecially i m portant if you want to serve neat looking leftovers, says jann Leiem home econom ist Margaret Spader. Meat carved as soon as it leaves the oven is liable to yield irregu lar slices and scraggly chunks, she said. However, it will slice neat and clean without cooling if left in a 140-degree warming oven or a warm spot in the kitchen for 20 to 30 minutes after cooking. Whether you plan to re frigerate or freeze leftover ham, it should be cut into individual servings before storage. Carefully wrapped cooked ham can be held up to three weeks in a refrig erator freezing compartment, she said. Miss Spader, home service consultant for the Gas Appli ance Manufacturers Associa tion, suggests that as many uniformly large slices as pos sible be placed together in airtight wrapping. These slices make an appealing luncheon dish wrapped around asparagus, broccoli, or whole green beans. The hambone can go into split pea soup. Small slices and chunks have many uses, including the following: Ham shortcake, made by adding 1 cup of cubed cooked ham to 1V4 cups of bechamel sauce (white sauce made with milk and veal stock), along with button mushrooms, pi miento, chives and parsley, Serve over cornbread. Half a cup of finely chop ped cooked ham will perk up your favorite corn pud ding recipe. Prepare eggs foo young by adding 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 minced scallions and Vi cup each of finely minced cooked ham and mixed vege tables or mushroom pieces to 4 slightly beaten eggs.
