sr. o o o o O o C MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. SUNDAY, 5, 19(1 -e- tk cinnjh... F.iohtsnmi." took a trial run out Crater Lake highway the other night to relieve their minds about a Worrisome matter. Can eight aauiis ami tm inc.. ."sss stowed into a German-made bus? Would the travelers be mp-fahla tnv Hnv after daV of motoring? So the Carroll Millers, the Almus Pruilts and the Angus Bowmers gathered at the home ol tne A. ai; uui un Rogue River. Mr. Allen had borrowed a little bus identical to the one which the Eightsome will pick up in Germany this summer and take on a tour of Europe. Each couple brought the three pieces of luggage on which the group had rri Their stowed the luggage, and the eight travelers each took a seal; then they drove away and pretended that it was Germany instead of Oregon. After the run they all agreed that their planning had been o.k. The society editor has been writing about the trip, which Is a source of excitement to their friends,, for quite some time. However, we're not sure yet Just what the Itiner ary Is. It's a bit confusing, you see. The Pruitts are leaving first and going by way of plane and train to New York. The Bowmers are going by way of Canada (stopping along the way to visit the Stratford Shakespearean theater because Mr. B. is producing director or tne uregon anakespeaeran theater and his part of the trip is mainly to expand his horizon on theater and Shakespeare.) The Pruitts and the Bowmers are meeting in New York to travel together before leaving for England. In the mean time the other two couples are going by freighter out of S. F. through the Panama canal and thence across the At lantic. Potpourri took notes for a long time but somehow we can't make them come out even. We aren't quite sure who is meeting whom where and when, and what they will see and do separately, or together. Anyhow, it sounds abso lutely wonderful and we wish heartily that the Eightsome could add one more couple. Each couple has friends and contacts here and there. In New York City the Pruitts plan to visit the well known song writer, Clara Edwards. The composer has been in Medford to visit her friends, the Richard Werners, and through them met the Pruitts, who are also musicians. Mrs. Werner and Mrs. Edwards have been friends since the days when the former was one of New York City's better known vocalists, and Mrs. Edwards was gaining her first fame as a song writer. Mrs. Edwards composed a song which she called "By the Bend of the River" but she was dissatisfied with it and was about to throw it away. Caroline Andrews Werner, with her extensive background of the theater, thought it was good and introduced it on her nation-wide radio program. It was an overnight hit and the song is still popular and selling, not only in this country but in such faraway places as Australia, where Mrs. Edwards found it on sheet music counters. Mrs. Werner recalled last week that among Mrs. Ed wards' many other popular songs is "Into the Night" which the great Pinza introduced, and "The Wind and Rain in Her Hair" which was the theme song for the hit movie, "Gone With the Wind." But back to the Pruitts. They belong to a group called "The International Chamber Music society" (Almus, a pianist, plays with Rogue valley chamber music groups) and in Scot land, for instance, will be guests in the home of a couple known to them through the music society. Carroll Miller has been making plans for a visit In Alba, Italy, which is Medford's "sister city." At this lime the plans are not completed, but it is thought the touring Ore gonians will take greetings and gills with them for the Al banese. Ol course, In every city where the Eightsome goes, the emphasis will be on the theater, and especially, the Shake spearean theater. The Bowmers will see Shakespeare in both Stratford theaters on this continent Ontario, Canada, and in Connecticut, and of course at Stratford-on-Avon in Eng land. There's more about their plans, but one must not tell everything at once. Mrs. Pruitt, whose short stories have been selling for several years now, has been named "journalist" for the tour and will be writing for the Tribune and Potpourri from time to time. Before we forget, the title, "Blunderbus Eightsome" comes from the group it wasn't our idea. Ceremony Conducted c For Troop St. Mary's Brownie Troop 76 recently held their fly-up at the St. Mary's activities room. Twenty-three girls were received by Scouts of iroop 84. Mrs. A.

During a recent examination of Lieutenant Hammond's military record, it was found that the Bronze Star medal had never been officially presented to his family. (Knacksiedi photo) Steven and Leslie Wakeman paid the Tribune a visit last week bringing a big puff ball in a box. These interesting growths, although fairly common, are always objects of curiosity. Usually they are found in woodsy areas, but the children said their grandfather, Raymond Wakeman, Gold Hill, found the mushroom, about the size of a basketball, in his garden on Kane creek. Steven took the puff ball to school to show to his teacher, Walter Doherty at llanby school, and then brought 11 In to the Tribune. The children, and their mother, asked Potpourri it it was true that the puff balls arc edible. We once ate one, but nevertheless, knowing that such growths do make some persons ill, we hastened to tell the Wakemans not to eat in on our advice.-O.S.
