CLIP THIS COLORFUL COOKING CALENDAR SAVE FOR YOUR RECIPE FILE PEP UP your Springtime meals with exciting new ideas; from your Crescent Spice Shelf! hi i t l.IWYJ'J F V '"stent 1 11 you'll find "Colorful Cooking'' food buys al your favorite grocers . . . make everything colorful with these "Color! ut Cooking" ideas from Crescent: The PTA is typically American as American as apple pie, said Mrs. Leon Price, the Texas doll who came up from Dallas to give the keynote address for the annual convention of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers. If the PTA is typically American, so are conventions. Potpourri attended one (only it was called a conference and was quite small) last week end and has been "covering" the Congress' meeting here this week. Consequently we've listened to a lot of addresses, round tables and workshops; we've eaten too much food, drunk too much coffee and haven't had enough sleep. We wonder if conventions would be as popular with Americans if they were strictly business and weren't camou flaged with so many pretty speeches, so much food and drink, so many Introductions and presentations and so many corsages and gifts. Or if maybe they might not be more popular. ' Conventions are loosely divided into two categories working conventions and fun conventions. The PTA meeting, of course, comes under the former class PTA members are probably as earnest and serious about their conventions as any group in the United States. The delegates, mostly women, are conscientious about attending the lectures and workshops and because they are such busy women with so many duties at home, are anxious to be home again. Part of the entertainment for this week's PTA convention were short concerts by the Medford High school choir and the PTA Mothersingers. Both were received with a great deal of enthusiasm. However, it seems a pity that the music lovers among the visitors couldn't have been privileged to hear the concert which Ruth Slenczynska, pianist, gave here Sunday evening. Like many others In the audience, this reporter went to the concert half-unbelieving, skeptical of what reviewers had said of her. Such phrases as "astonishing virtuosity" and "great musician" have been written many times and some times the performances have not lived up to the phrases. But not this time. Sunday's concert was truly wonderful and exciting, and we heard dozens of well-qualified concert goers say so. It is seldom almost never, in fact that one hears 'bravo" voiced during a concert in Medford. It is heard often during concerts in the large cities, and one enthusiastic listener from the east complimented the pianist in this way Sunday night. The lone "bravo" came from Mrs. Robert Secrist, here from Buffalo to visit the Bruno Pellegrinis, in whose home she lived as a girl. Since Mr. Pellegrini is himself a pianist, and since all three have broad musical backgrounds, they appreicated Miss Slenczynska's artistry to the fullest. Finding that she was alone with her "bravos" although the hand clapping was loud and prolonged, the visitor from Buffalo at length gave up. Potpourri opened her mouth a couple of times to join in, but couldn't quite find the nerve. We do this when in S. F., but not here. Following the program Mr. and Mrs. John Lusk gave a small party for Miss Slenczynska in their studio home. Because the artist has only a cup of tea before concerts, Mrs. Lusk prepared a steak dinner for her and lighter refresh ments for the remainder of the guests. Carol Williamson and Margaret Dix helped serve. Miss Slenczynska, like many other fine musicians on the concert stage, proved to be both gracious and friendly. She ate her steak and salad with relish and at the same time carried on conversations with the rest of the guests, including the Lusk's daughter, who studies piano. Later she listened to Signe play, and encouraged her to continue her studies. While In Medford Miss Slenczynska was a guest In the home of Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence Buonocore and their three daughters, her relatives through marriage. The daughters, Laurie Beth, Madelyn and Alicia, haunted the living room at the B. home while their distinguished guest practiced. Like most other top flight concert stars, Miss Slenczynska prac tices every day as much as eight hours if this is possible. She believes that she has not missed practicing more than 10 or 12 days since she embarked on her study and career. Those who have read the pianist's book about her strange childhood will be interested to know that she has a second in the hands of the publishers. This is on piano technique. During the party Miss Slenczynska said she had worked unusually hard to give as fine a concert as she possibly could play. She wanted to make it a good concert because of the Buonocores, and she had to work particularly hard because of the piano. Miss S. had been told that a regulation nine- foot concert grand piano of fine tone would be on the stage for her to play. Instead, she found a small grand which has been in use a long time, which is not a first-rate instrument and not a proper one on which to ask an artist to play. The concert grand which had been ordered sent down from Port land failed to arrive. II is reported that Miss Slenczynska did not complain, but squared her shoulders and made the best of the situation. More than one music fan was heard to say later that some how, a better piano must be provided for use during concerts. We weren't Impertinent in calling Mrs. Price "a doll" earlier in this column. Every time Mrs. Price's name was mentioned up at Hedrick school this week, some one would exclaim "Isn't she a doll?" This dainty pink-and-white grey haired woman gave a substantial keynote talk Tuesday morning and like all good speakers, told some pointed stories. Reporting on a survey during which young people an swered questions about their parents, Mrs. Price said almost all of them declared their parents had bad dispositions. Then she told of the extremely busy mother who one day answered the door bell only to find her small daughter standing on the outside. The harassed and exasperated mother scolded the little girl roundly and was shocked to hear her daughter say "But mother, 1 only wanted to see your com pany smile!"
