6 A. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORP, ORE. THURSDAY, JULY 81, I860 Women's News Social Events ' While in Washington last week, Potpourri carried out mlnlnn.rnr Merifnrri's Mrs O. A. Eden. Edith. Hardener extraordinary, not only gardens at home but on a city-wide scale. Mrs. Eden, by various and sundry means has been largely responsible for the city's progress on the coordinated tree planting program, and lor the "garden of Eden" along Main street. Edith Is always hunting for new ideas about city beauti- flcation, and when we attempted to describe the interesting and artistic huildlnff and olantines of the new Lentrdlia Branch, Seattle First National branch, she Immediately perKea up ner ears ana saia get me some pictures, since like most other people, we eventually end up doing what she asks well, most of the time, anyway we inter viewed a couple of men in Centralia and now nave tne first set. of pictures for Edith and her committee. . John Edinger, managing editor of the Centralia Chronicle (where Potpourri once worked as a reporter and society writer) was interested and cooperative and two pictures the paper's photographer took, preceded us home. Potpourri and Sister Peg also talked to Frank Watson, manager of the branch, who showed us around the building and driveways and who also said he might provide some pictures if any one in Medford was interested. The new building, parking lot and plantings, in the nature of an urban re-development project, are extremely attractive. The bank structure is unique in that the ex terior is of white stones called Northport marble, or "sugar stone" since in a way it looks more like hit-and-miss sized sugar lumps, rather than traditional marble. The building stands on one corner of an ell-shaped lot; it has both street and parking lot entrances, and these entrances are arranged with' artistic -plantings. ' The lot, of course, is paved, and has plantings near the auto entrance. Opposite this entrance and on Tower avenue, the city's main street, ' is a pedestrian entrance. This has large planters, covered in a pagoda-like fashion, and two stone and concrete benches turned towards the street. In May when we were in Centralia the planters were filled with scarlet, tulips blooming among evergreens; later the tulips were replaced with red geraniums and other sum mer annuals. A walk-way along one side of the enclosure is covered, and the starkness of the wall of the building located adjacent has been softened with strips of rippled plastic in pleasing shades. Mr. Watson explained that the architect who designed the building Incorporated into the plans specifications for the landscaping and said the reaction from clients and visitors has been highly complimentary. Mr. Watson is par ticularly pleased with the planting of an area on the en closure side of the building with flowers and shrubbery and two or three slender birch trees which give an especially graceful effect. Centralians agree with him that the project has done a great deal to make that part of the city much more attractive. Pappy and Potpourri have decided it might ' be great fun to be part of an archeological expedition. On vacations, particularly In Central Oregon, we re always poking around in the sand and along lake shores and on the slopes and river banks on the look-out for arrow heads or any inter esting relics. - - - While on Hart mountain last week we visisted the site 01 oia Lamp narner, wnica was an Army post in xood-d. According to a historical marker located in the area, it was "commanded by Gen. George. Cook, 23rd Infantry, U. S. Army, and used as a base of operations in an area inhabited by the stalwart Indians of the Snake, Pit River, Modoc, Klamath and Shoshone tribes." - Tf If kail ,-ft . 'J - 1 1 1 " , i.au ic,t m uiiuuiii, u jicvci nave 1UUIIU the exact spot of the camp, but after a bit of prowling, Pappy . found it. He came upon a spot which looked as if it might have .been a building site, and sure enough, we found a few square nails of a type used at that time,' rusty cans with tops folded over much like women fold aluminum foil to make a temporary oven dish, and bits of glass of a green color and with many bubbles and imperfections quite unlike the glass found in present-day bottles. One of the men at Hart mountain refuge headquarters supplied the information that the camp was moved in 1867 to Honey creek west of Warner valley, and later down into California, where it was permanently; located' at Fort Bidwell which is still maintained.. Curious about the name Warner, we read in Lewis A. McArthur's Oregon Geographic Names, and .found that the string of lakes and the valley below were named Warner Lakes and Warner valley in honor of Brevet Captain William Horace Warner, "who was killed by Indians in September, 1849, just over the line in northern California. ' Hart moun tain itself was at first known as Warner mountain, Mc Arthur records. At the time of Captain Warner's death, he was on a mapping and exploration project. l . On this trip we again explored the shores of Lake Abert where are located interesting circle formations arranged from large stones. It seems generally agreed that these were used by the Indians, since many artifacts have been found in the area. Examining them, Potpourri wondered if the enclosures were living areas for the Indian family units, Coming upon one somewhat larger, and made of bigger n n .. . i i ii . : ii i i i . i i , i Luutra, wc uubcu mat iiisiue uic ciicie una sianaing Bl one side was a much larger rock, of a different shape. .

Portland Woman Heads Platform Subcommittee By HELEN THOMAS United Preit International Chicago - The Republicans have picked a lady politician to hammer out the human side of their platform. She Is Shirley Field, Port land, Ore., lawyer who heads the platform subcommittee dealing with planks on health, welfare and housing. She realizes that she may be walking in where angels fear to tread. One of her big problems will be a plank on the controversial propositi to medical cure for the aged. The problem is how to compromise the views of President Eisenhower with New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's stand on sup port of paying for care for the aged through the social security system. Miss Field looks like the outdoor girl that she Is. Her light brown curly hair Is short cropped. Her eyes arc brown. She's tanned and freckle-faced. Feminine without flourish es she talks straight from the shoulder when it comes to political issues. The health and welfare field is second nature to her. She's one of 10 women in the Oregon Legislature and this is her area of chief concern. She demonstrated her in terest in social affairs when she sponsored a bill to per mit'singlng in Oregon taverns - something the "superannu ated college kids" wanted to do. She made her case to the tune of the "Beer Barrel Pol ka" piped In through the pub lic address system at the state capitol. The bill passed but the governor vetoed it. Oregon is her . adopted state. She calls herself a "frustated cowgirl" and keeps a few Herefords on a friend's ranch. All of her cows are named baseball terms like Foul" and "Bunt." Her brand is a diamond with a baseball in the center. Her convention wardrobe is cool ana simple, one s career girl but she said she would willingly chuck the single blessedness if the right guy" came along. She said the Democrats have made "roundhouse statements" In (heir platform which they can't back up. She hopes the GOP will work out a platform that will "plan realistically" for tho 60s. Miss Field has entertained visions of going to Congress. If she decided to run, her op ponent would be Rep. Edith Green (D.Ore.). As for the national cam paign, she has no illusions that It would be easy. But she predicts a Republican victory In Novombor, Medford Couple Participates In Archery Matches Mr. and Mrs. Herb Glfford, 840 West 14th street, Med ford, returned home rocontly after participating in two archery tournaments, one in Baker, Ore., and the other In Coeur d'Alono, Ida.
