A batch of jelly, made two trips down town and otherwise
.tried to put everything in order before leaving for Wash
ington on vacation. We kept saying that after a while, we'd
find time to dash off a column for Pal Peg, who will be
'doubling in brass this week keeping an eye on both her
beat and the women's page.
, But the day flew by and it was time to pack and leave
.for the bus and still no writing done. So, we decided to
liunt up a typewriter as soon as we arrived in Portland and

thought would not be in use for a time.
' We're sorry to contradict Potluck, but we didn't tootle
way in The Doll on this portion of our vacation we follow
ed the Greyhound advertising advice you know, "take the
bus and leave the driving to us." As we boarded our startled
yes beheld two young men covered with scars and wounds
.which looked quite recent; each was draped, sound asleep,
.ever two seats. Unable to contain our curiosity we inquired
of a neatly dressed soldier "what happened to them?" "They
totaled out a little sports car," he answered.

. The Jackson county delegation to the National Education
association convention came back from Los Angeles jubilant
'over the naming of Ewald Turner from Pendleton as presi
dent-elect of this huge organization. Teacher Maxine had
bardly arrived in town before she called The Tribune to
J-eport his success. His election was a close one his margin
of victory was little more than 200 votes.
Teacher Maxine called to

Department of Classroom Teachers of NEA, and in his ca
pacity as junior past president of the department, is now
in Hawaii for meetings and will then go to Amsterdam for
the World Confederation of teachers.
J- Potpourri became acquainted with this interesting young
teacher (seems like Maxine said he is less than 40 years old)
jwhen we went to NEA convention in Philadelphia in 1957.
He has enormous charm and a great capacity for friend
ship, is a sincere, devoted church worker and impresses
One with a sense of integrity. A native of Missouri, he taught
in that state five years before coming to Oregon and Pendle
ton. He teaches crafts in Pendleton Junior High school.
Teacher Maxine, past president of Oregon Education as
sociation, feels that she has had a part in Ewald s election,
for she made his nominating speech when he ran for the vice
presidency of the Department of Classroom Teachers, and
was elected, and again when he ran for the presidency of
ihe Department.
For one of these occasions Teacher Maxine wrote a
parody on "Hiawatha", calling it "Ewald-awatha" during
which she recited his background and accomplishments. At
Los Angeles she revised the verses to suit his candidacy for
the NEA presidency, and with other Oregon teachers dra
matizing the lines, read it for the Pacific Northwest break
fast. Ihdian headdresses, signal fires (made with dry ice in
bowl of water) war whoops and other Indian foofaraw
made the skit a rousing success, she reported.-
With a little maneuvering, Potpourri managed to choose

gelical Lutheran and United
Lutheran church has been divided into 11 branches some
large and powerful and others small. Mrs. Hendrickson ex
plained that for the most part they were founded by im
migrants to this country who came from the same section
of Europe and spoke the same laneuaee. Some of these
churches used languages other than English as late as 30
years ago, she explained. Gradually, the task of combining
has gotten underway. Illustrating the smallness of her branch
one of the Evangelical divisions, Mrs. Hendrickson said
that out of more than 3,000 women delegates to the coming
convention, her church would have but 30 women.
Twenty years ago when we moved to southern Oregon,
the trip to Portland from Medford by bus took about 12
hours. Last night it took but seven. The coaches have been
improved, and in many instances the depots have been
modernized. The problem of keeping them clean and orderly

Old Georgetown House
Restored for Bachelor
Br ROSE McKEE
Washington, D.C. - Robert
K. Graj, secretary of the
Cabinet, has many White
House responsibilities that
contribute to the running of
the government.
But in the neighborhood in
which he lives, the White
House official probably is
better known for his contribu
tion to its improvement.
Mr. Gray and a couple of
his friends bought a small,
old, tumble-down house in
the historic Georgetown sec
tion of the capital about a
year and a half ago and re
modeled it In an unusual way.
The project was mainly a
hobby and the house was sold
after its reconstruction.
Mr. Gray said he "enjoyed
it up to the point of selling."
The house, which dates back
to 1792 and is only 14 feet
wide and 17 feet long, once
was used as slave quarters.
Although Georgetown i s
full of restored houses, Mr.
Gray and his friends planned
their remodeling project it) a
different way.
It seemed to us, Mr. Gray
told the National Association
of Home Builders, "that most
of the remodeling had been
done to suit women. Our idea
was to make this into a house
a bachelor could feel at home
in." .
Bachtlor Horn
Mr. Gray, one of Washing
ton s most popular bachelors,
said they had the living room
redone to expose the hand-
hewn oak beams in the ceil
ing. A raised Colonial fire
place was built in the center
of the room as a divider.. All
the interior walls were panel
ed in Philippine mahogany
except for one bedroom,
which they did in rough bur
lap. To give the front of the
house something of a tavern
look, they used old bottle
glass from England in the
windows.
The house has a living room
and kitchen downstairs, two
bedrooms upstairs. Use of
louvered doors and a new
stairway with an open area
beneath it, help make the
house seem larger than it is,
its remodelers believe.
They apparently were suc
By-laws were approved by
the Medford Board of Real
tors. The Women's Council
was established in 1939 and
now has more than 1,800
members.
Mrs. Fasel said that active
membership in the Council is
open to all saleswomen and
women brokers In the Medford
area who are members of the
Medford Board of Realtors.
Associate members from lend
ing agencies and title com
panies belonging to the local
Board are also invited to be
come members.
A no-host dinner will be
held by the Council Tuesday,
July 12, at the Jackson hotel
to which all qualified women
are invited to attend. The
event will start at 7 p.m. fol
lowed by an 8 p.m. business
meeting. Reservations may be
made before July 11 by call
ing Mrs, Fasel at SPrlng 3-8317.
Mr. and Mrs,
Central Point Chapter,
OES Installs Officers
Central Point - Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Snook were install
ed worthy patron and worthy
matron at open ceremonies
held by Nevita chapter, Order
of the Eastern Star, in the
Masonic temple, Central
Point, June 30, at 8 p.m.
The retiring matron, Mrs.
Frank Ward, and retiring pa
tron, Wylcs Berry, conducted
the meeting. Morris Bough
ner, worthy grand patron of
the grand chapter of Oregon,
gave the benediction. Mrs.
Wyles Berry, past matron,
and Russell Fair, past patron,
were the installing officers,
assisted by Mrs. Ray Anders,
cessful in designing a home
for a bachelor for while "most
of the (buying) prospects were
women, it was a bachelor who
bought it."
Remove "Eyotort"'
Mr. Gray and his colleagues
in remodeling the house live
in the same neighborhood and,
while they do know the man
who bought their house be
cause the transaction was
handled by an agency, they
have the satisfaction of know
ing they removed "a neighbor
hood eyesore."
The White House official
currently lives in a rented
house, into which he moved
recently. It is much like the
one he owned in the same
area except for the garage. In
the former house, the over
head garage door did not
move-and he used the garage
as a dining room. A window
effect with "built-in" scenery
just inside the garage door,
gave his dinner guests the
impression they were looking
outdoors when actually they
were not.
As secretary of the Cabinet,
Mr. Gray is responsible for
the preparation of agenda for
Cabinet meetings, for insuring
appropriate doc umentation.
for drafting the "Presidential
Record of Action," and for
following up on implementa
tion of Presidential decisions
made at cabinet meetings.
The 37-year-old man, a Ne-
braskan who has a master's
degree in business administra
tion from Harvard university,
also assists in coordination of
Cabinet affairs. His seat at
the big Cabinet table is just
three places from the Presi
dent. ,
