- "I've always set the women in my family on a pedestal,
and I don t lot anyone tear them down.
; Who said that? No less a person than former President
Harry Truman. Mr. Truman never was at a loss for words,
and throughout the years ne nas Deen in me pudhc eye,
there have been some occasions when he gave vigorous proof
that he didn't let anyone "tear down" his womenfolk irom
their Dedestals.
The former president's statement was the result of a
recent "mobile press conference" according to the New York
Times. Mr. Truman, you know, takes a walk every morning
and reporters find this a convenient time to ask him ques
tions. That is. If they can warn iasi enougn 10 Keep up wiui
the spry former executive. . -
A reporter asked Mr. Truman to comment on the tempest-in-a-teapot
situation about the wives of the two presidential
candidates, Mrs. Richard Nixon and Mrs. John Kennedy,
and who pays what for clothes. Who started it, or why,
Potpourri isn't sure. !'"
Anyhow, someone printed a story to. the effect that
Jacqueline Kennedy arid her mother-in-law spend about
$30,000 a year on clothes, buying most of them In the French
couture houses. Stung by the accusation, Mrs. Kennedy re
torted' that she couldn't spend that much on clothes, even
If she lined her dresses with fur, and added "I'm sure I
spend less than Mrs. Nixon on clothes, She gets hers at
Elizabeth Arden, and nothing there costs less than $200
or $300." - "
In reply Mrs. Nixon said "I shop like any American
woman, mostly In Washington and off the rack."
When the reporter brought up this clothes business, Mr.
Truman defended both women, and said "I don't think Its
nice for anyone to attack the wife of the candidate. The
wives of these candidates are both wonderful ladies and
that's the way they ought to be treated." Nan Robertson
of the Times wrote that at this point the former president
Jabbed with his cane as he moved brisKiy up jmiui avenue
and added "II don't think Its decent or polite to bring the
family into the campaign. I've always set the women in my
family on a pedestal and I don't let anyone tear them down.
Good for you, Mr. Ex-President. We like y6u. s
1 - - a a -' 1 1
Reporter Robertson went on to say that when the press
ndoavnred to contact Miss Arden. she had not been available
at her New York establishment, but that one of her -representatives
said: "Mrs. Nixon has been a client for the past
four years. She. has always paid her bills. She has a wonder
ful flour and can also wear ready-made clothes." The
Arden representative refused to discuss how much Mrs.
Nixon paid for her clothes and added "Our-ready-to-wear
costi'What it does In most department stores and Mrs. Nixon
bought a lot of it here. She fits Into, everything." ,
The store representative added that ready-made clothes
In Miss Arden's Fifth Avenue store fell into "the general
price range of $150 to $350." However, other customers of
the store said dresses sometimes were as low as $25.
i About this time the news women following Mrs. Kennedy
around reported that she bought two maternity dresses, pay
ing about $30 apiece for them.
When the Kennedys were In Medford more than a year
ago, Potpourri and Pal Peg, interviewing the beautiful and
extremely personable Jacqueline, asked her about her ward
robe. She was somewhat evasive, said she just shopped
around for something' that wasn't too expensive. However,
the suit she was weiring looked high-fashion to both of
the newsroom gals.
One writer said Mrs. Kennedy "weiri clothes like
model" and that "Mrs. Nixon dresses with conservative per
fection." Mrs. K. boarded the family yacht In Hyinnii Port,
. Mass., last summer wearing an orange pullover sweater and
shocking pink Capri pants. She has been weiring on of the
fashionable bouffant hair-dos, but after being Informed that
women were saying they didn't like it, she had It "timed
down," one writer said,.
A New York wolnan wa quoted n siylng Mrs, Nixon
always -looks too well groomed and complained "I'll bet she
never-holds anything together with wfety pins." r I
One, thing is certain, It won't make any difference which
womatVends up In the White House as the wife of the next
president, or what she wears. It' won't please everyone. If
the president's wife Is fashionable, some ny she's too fashion
able; if she doesn't care about clothes, like Mrs. Frinklin
Roosevelt, others complain, and U she ,"dresses like the.
the"woman next door" as has been said about Mrs. Elsen
hower,: someone will complain ibout that, too,' W once
heard that Mrs. Eisenhower hid been criticized for wearing
dresses to church with sleeves too short and necklines too low.
Potpourri Is impressed with both Mrs. Nixon and Mn.
Kennedy. We're sure cither will b i credit to her husband
and the nation, if she turns out to be the next First Lidy.
: t The Tribune's business manager, Jerry Lathsiii, pointed
out' to. Potpourri i couple of diyi igo that we hadn't told
all the story when we reported to much type and so miny
pictures left out of the women's section in list Sunday'
paper. He was right, too. ' ' '
. Whenever a second color is used on pig of news
'paper.i'as It was for the women' section for In first time
last Sunday, it means that two cylinders or the equivalent
of two pages of the section, must be used. The second color,
red, was used to print the United Medford Crusade torch
and further emphasize the opening of the annual UMC
campaign Monday. This the Tribune was happy to do, and
those groups and individuals whose stories might have been
on the page, which instead was used to print the torch in
color, doubtless also do not mind releasing their space in
order that the crusade might be aided,
t '
County Judge Earl Miller, just back from a motor vaca
tion. through 15 states, stopped on a street corner to chat
with Potpourri. He said he and Mrs. Miller had had a
wonderful time and enjoyed seeing a part of the country
new to- them. .
"We had a wonderful time," said the friondly Mr. Milter.
"And do you know, driving all those miles together gave me
an opportunity to get to know my wifo. We've been married
more than 30 years and 1 don't think I'd ever had time be
fore to really talk to Mama. I enjoyed it very much.
Potpourri likes Mr. Miller, too. O.S.

lation- in 1949 providing for
the training and licensing of
practical nurses, seven schools
have been established
throughout the state. This
year a total of 145 women
were graduated. A system of
examinations and licensing
for the graduates has been
worked out and is in general
usage throughout the United
States, she said. Last year,
Oregon's classes ranked in
sixth place in point of scores
on the e x a m i nation, the
speaker announced.
Ethics Stressed
Miss Monkman stressed the
ethics of the profession of
nursing, and said a code of
ethics will in time be formu
lated and adopted for the
practical nurses. She urged
the graduates to continue to
educate themselves in the
field of nursing, said a genu
ine nurse serves everyone
equally well, regardless of
financial or social standing,
and spoke of the role which
religion and mental well be
ing play in curing the ill. She
urged the graduates to uphold
the laws of the state and the
nation.
Oscar I. Paulson, assistant
superintendent of the division
of vocational and post - high
school education in Oregon
congratulated the 13 women
of the class, said husbands
and families of the new nurses
also deserved praise for their
aid and pointed out that the
new program of practical
nursing makes it possible for
older women - even those who
are grandmothers, to train
themselves for a new and
useful career after their fami
lies are reared and out of the
home.
Dr. Leonard Mayfield
perintendent of public
schools, expressed his satis
faction with the new adult
education program for nursing
and said organizing this
school and turning out this
first class of graduates took
lot of work.
Mrs. Morrill, who had
taught the class, praised the
"guinea pig class" and said
all 13 of the students had
worked hard. She praised
Rogue Valley Memorial hos
pital and the Jackson County
Farm home for their aid In
setting up the new school and
in helping to train the women.
The teacher said that the 13
women will take their state
examination the first week in
October and added that a new
class is now being organized.
She pointed out that for
graduation the .women were
wearing new white uniforms
and caps (the training uniform
was a striped dress) and that
when each had passed her
examination and was licensed,
she would receive an insignia
for her cap.
The reception which fol
lowed the graduation cere
