We're absolutely sure this suggestion is being made in
....... .... .c Su"6 iu mane it, anynow. roipourri suggests
that political meetings, particularly those involving meals
and important candidates, be stream-lined. The candidates
are on a very tight schedule, and so are the busy people who
go to hear them. If we had our way, there would be fewer
Introductions of lesser candidates who are living in the,
county and available all the time, and none of this business
of manning wis ana that person for planning the meal,
uecurHuiiB me iHDies ana running otner errands.
Even though the luncheon given for Mrs. Maurine Neu
berger irlday was far better than some we've attended
throughout the years, many of those present were forced
to leave before Mrs. Neuberger was through speaking. Ad
vertised ior iz o ciock, it must have been 12:30 before Mrs.
N. and her entourage arrived from Ashland, and ' then
luncheon was served, etc. Before Mrs. Neuberger, who is a
Democratic candidate for the United States senate, rose to
speak it was almost 1 p.m.
Potpourri and a co-worker from the news room, duo back
at the office and yet anxious to hear Mrs. Neuberger, startled
the honored guest and Tom Reeder, who was introducing
her, by getting up right in their faces and tiptoeing away.
Neither of us left, however, but took seats in the back of the
room where we decided we could sneak out without disturb
ing Mrs. Neuberger when she was in the middle of her talk.
Why wouldn't it have been possible for the candidate
to have been on hand when the guests began arriving a few
minutes before 12, and have the waitresses serve each person
as he was seated, and when the group seemed complete,
have the program begin? We apologized to Mrs. Neuburgcr
later when she visited the Tribune office, and the under
standing woman said she lenew some persons had to hurry
back to work and often had fretted herself over the time
wasted trying to engineer meetings, meals and speeches all
in to one hour or so. Mrs. Neuberger said she would gladly
have spoken while the audience had luncheon, leaving her
own meal until later. Under that arrangement, more voters
would have been able to hear her entire speech.
Potpourri was especially interested to hear Mrs. Neu
berger speak about her "food for peace" plan. Like the
candidate, we strongly believe that in some manner or the
other, the United States must share more of her food with the
rest of the world. To waste so much food, when so many
millions are starving, has always seemed downright sinful.
Mrs. Neuberger, who wore a peach colored shirtwaist
type dress with a gorgeous while orchid presented by her
Jackson county admirers, used a pair of the new "half"
glasses while reading her notes before she rose to speak.
This was the second pair we've seen. Last week Mrs. Kenneth
Baker came in with a League of Women Voters' story, and
put on a pair while at our desk. Mrs. Baker said her hus
band bought them for her while he was in a teasing mood,
but she likes them.
These spectacles, with half-lensos to be used while read
ing, or looking downward, may be very comfortable,
but they give the wearer a strange look. Our table com
panion, EO, said "It makes women look grandmotherish
as if they were wearing spectacles on the end of their nose
and peering over the top."
Apology: When the make-up men put all the weddings,
engagements, golden and silver wedding anniversary stories
and the family reunions in Sunday's edition, there wasn't
any room left. So Potpourri, along with several other stories
nd six pictures, was left out. O.S.
Mrs. Carolyn Bowles, Portland, (at left)
national president of the Women's Council
of iha National Association of Real Estate
boards, was in Medford last week for pre
sentation of a charier to the newly organiz
ed Women's Council of the Medford Board
of Realtors. The ceremony followed a din
ner at Rogue Valley Country club. Pictured president.

Overcast Sky, Chill Wind
Accompany Festival Concert
Ashland-Overcast skies and
chill breeze cut attendance
at yesterday's weekly concert
of the Oregon Shakespeanean
festival.
Ten Festival singers, wear
ing colorful, flowing robes, sat
around a long refectory table.
They sang lively Elizabethan
rounds and folk songs.
Susan Shively, who plays
the old-style viol de gamba,
and Rossme Taylor, luttst, pre
sented a duet. These instru
ments, which require much
tuning, were barely audible in
the fourth row of the amphi
theater in spite of the use of
an electric amplifier and
much of the plaintive beauty
of the number was lost. ,
Sheila Schuermann, mezzo-
soprano, sang a group of songs
by Edward Purcell and other
English composers. Miss
Schuerman has a pleasing
voice, but one which lacks the
volume required for an out
door performance. She was
accompanied on the harpsi
chord by Mrs. Taylor.
The program also contained
vocal solos by Mrs. Taylor,
who accompanied herself on
tlie lute. Here again Mrs. Tay
lor's voice and commentary
were often inaudible to the
audience. Her numbers in
cluded a French -Canadian
folk song particularly appro
priate for the lute.
One number which the au
dience could hear and which
was enjoyed was Henry Pur
sell's "Trumpet Voluntary"
played by Ted Lawson. He
was accompanied by Stanley
Plummer on the harpsichord.
Tlie versatile Mr. Lawson
sings, plnys the trumpet and
is one of the festival actors.
Mr. Plummer, who teaches
organ at Whitman college in
Walla Walla, Wash., and who
Is considered an unusually
fine harpsichord player, con
cluded the program with Eliz
abethan music. He included
the Rondo from "John Bull,"
a rollicking tune, played a
number of Bach selections
and a Handel sonnto in "Jig"
time. Mr. Plummer comment
ed that the "harpsichord was
the instrument for which both
Bach and Handel wrote."
The Women's Council of
the Medford Board of Real
tors became official Tuesday
evening with the installation
of officers and the presenta
tion of the charter at Rogue
Valley Country club.
Mrs. Carolyn Bowles, Port
land, national president of
the Women's Council of the
National Association of Real

officer and presented the
charter. H. O. Martin deliv
ered the invocation.
Mrs. Mary Fasel was in
stalled as president; Mrs.

and Miss Ann Rice, secretary,
treasurer.

She explained that the real
estate business is relatively
new for women and that
"they have been very success
ful in this field as they are
always interested in doing
their best for their clients."
Mrs. Sayles gave a resume
of the Women' Council ac
tivities, mentioning aims,
ethics, efficiency and education.
A demonstration of the
work of the Medford Judo

ing by club members Thomas

Donald Colbin. Mr. Ball ex

ual and intellectual as well
