MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11, I960 C 9 . . .v : v. . : . Native rnateriali to be found in south ern Oregon are ideal for use in making dec orations and arrangements for the holidays... Bob Biggs, Portland decorator, who lectured and gave a demonstration of Christmas dec orations here under the auspices of Central Point Garden club, used a branch of man sanila as the base for his creation. He at tached holders for green candles, added cones in their natural brown color and a few sprigs of pine needles. These natural Jones were accented with a bunch of arti ficial grapes in gold material and green rib bon bows. Mr. Biggs always puts a bit of clay on candle ends to keep them from top pling from the holders, and if greenery is too rigid, he warms it with water and "works" it with his hands until the proper curving line is achieved.

They appear in print to be read by thousands, instead of just fouling things up for an employee and boss. But this time the reverse is true these mistakes aren't going to ap pear in the paper, and there's the trouble. Photographer Robert Vroman and Potpourri took some pictures last week that is, we thought we took them. Only when the film was developed something strange had hap pened and the negatives had some weird looking images on them which just don't make engravings. So pictures of Mrs. Lynton R. Newhall of Spokane, president of the National Federation of Grandmother Clubs of America, with Mrs. Lula Webster, president of the Medford club and Mrs. G. F. Brood of Crater club, aren't in today's paper. A picture of Charles Walker and Don Staley met the same fate. It was going to be such fun, too a picture of the two men "picketing" Rogue gallery to advertise the "Poor Losers" show this afternoon at the Medford hotel. The men even went to the trouble to make signs to carry. In spile of this lack of publicity, we hope that the Poor Losers' show planned to provide fun and entertainment and raise money for Rogue gallery, is a big success and that it draws a lot of entries and many spectators this afternoon. The other failure wasn't mechanical, it was human, Potpourri made elaborate plans with Dottie Harbison, Eagle Point correspondent, to take pictures last Iriday afternoon to advertise the coming house tour planned by the E. P Garden club. Then we didn't write it down on the photo grapher's calendar. Or on our own calendar. Or on the city editor's calendar. So, we don t have those pictures, either. Which reminds us of part of a story in the New York Times about script writers and their Hollywood lingo. "But he's only human" protests one excutive to another and the second answers, "Well, I just don't want him to be human on company time." Potpourri is annoyed at Peter F. Lynch, president of A Sulka and company in New York City. Marylin Bender, writing in the New York Times, about Christmas gifts, quot ed him as saying "We hsve reached the saturation point in purely practical gifts. The public is overloaded with them. Everybody has one of everything. As long as a gift provides some function and aesthetic quality, it will sell, no matter how extravagant. And it won't come back to the store the day after Christmas. Probably Mr. Lynch knows what he s talking about when he says gifts will sell, no matter how extravagant. But Mr. Lynch, it isn't true that "everybody has one of everything." America is a rich country and many persons have many possessions more than they need or know what to do with. But there are many men, women and children who "don't have one of everything." Perhaps Mr. Lynch and other Americans who make products and sell them, would do bet ter to find a way to provide a larger number of people with some of the less expensive and more useful products. As it is, they, dream up ways of selling such things as fur house jackets for $7,500 and "His and Her" airplanes, the latter advertised in Texas at a cost of about $150,000. Miss Bender also wrote about chinchilla bedspreads for $7,500 and throw pillows for $300. Sable coats are available for about $45,000, silver roses for $160 each and vicuna bathrobes sell for $750. Miss Bender, and Mr. Lynch, assure us that these articles are actually on sale for these prices, and that they will be sold. Charles G. McCormlck, psychotherapist of the New School for Social Research, has something to say about Christmas, too. He says America comes down with "synthetic Christmas cheer" at this time of theyear, and that it isn't good. He savs that we feel called upon at Christmas to express mer riment and good fellowship that we are unable to express the rest of the year. Mr. McCormlck feels that a "really giv ing person" gives all the year around, and not just at Christ mas, and enjoys giving. The over spender usually derives no pleasure from his giving, and "often charges th.e recipient with an indebtedness," he says. Children, the psychotherapist declares often suffer at Christmas from "unbearable anticipation" and that as a result, almost anything they receive is a disappointment. There was a great deal more in Mr. McCormick's statement and he ended with this "If you think that somebody owes you a gift, buy it for yourself." O.S. Alaskan Film Shown for Club J. A. Bartlett, with the U.S. Army Reserve Center ad visory group here, showed a colored film on Alaska at the recent meeting of the Med ford Garden club. He was introduced .by Mrs. E. F. Archer, horticulture chair man. Mrs. Howard Bush spoke on Englcman spruce and showed pictures of the vari ous evergreens. Mrs. Bush also directed the musical program for the Christmas meeting. The meet ing opened with singing of carols and Mrs. Bush sang a solo. She was accompanied on the accordion by Mrs. Karen Linker who also played solo. Guest at the meeting was Mrs. C. O.
