Both student and acuity of Southern Oregon college
chose kings and queens to rule over the annual Sweethearts
ball at the college. Miss Lola Good, Talent, and Michael Lam,
Honolulu, Hawaii, were the student king and queen and Dr.
and Mrs. Loren E. Messenger (standing) were the faculty
sweethearts. The ball was held in Britt center ballroom.
Whoever discovered the trick of using paper napkins
for party decorations certainly did the paper industry a
favor. In case you don't know about this, a huge heart up
at the Country club last Saturday night will prove the point.
As guests entered the Starlight room where Beta Sigma
Phi members were holding the annual St. Valentine's ball,
they stepped through an enormous pink heart. It was made
of coarse-meshed wire chicken wire is often used, and the
napkins were pulled through the holes in such a fashion
that the corners fluffed out in pleasing effect.
"Wonder how many napkins it took for that heart'.'" we
asked. "I can tell you," said a voice nearby. "It was 10,000."
We don't vouch for this we just heard it.
Committee members who arranged the party and worked
on decorations and other details were receiving congratula
tions Saturday night. Everything had gone well and ,the
room, filled with women in beautiful formal gowns, pre
sented a festive appearance.
Potpourri, wearing her society editor's uniform of con
servative black, even looked gay. Mrs. O. A. Eden, a patron
ness of the sorority, took from her shoulders the lei of
flowers she was wearing and hung them around the editorial
neck. This was the first time we ever wore a lei made us
feel a trifle conspicuous. We kept thinking about those
huge things made out of flowers that they hang around the
neck of a horse which has just won a race.
During the evening we had our annual chat with Ray
mond Reter. Mrs. Reter is also one of the sorority's sponsors,
and she and her husband usually attend the party. Mr.
Reter reminded the society editor that not long after we
had talked at the 1960 party, he had left on a two-month's
lour of Europe as a special representative of the State
Department something to do with international trade.
The word "tour" started a train of thought and Potpourri
asked Mr. Reter if he had any ideas about the business of
attracting more tourists from abroad to this country. United
States travelers go to Europe, South America, the Orient
and other parts of the world by the tens of thousands; the
U.S. government is beginning - to complain of the "flight
of the dollar" abroad, and to ponder how they can attract
travelers to the U.S.
We hit the jack-pot. Mr. R. did have ideas. Wherever
he went in the British 'Isles and in Europe, the business of
passports, visas, customs, inspections and paper signing was
kept at a minimum. Travelers are checked in and out
quickly, efficiently and with courtesy. Nowhere was he de
tained more than a few moments.
Then Mr. Reter arrived back in the United States in
Los Angeles, as we remember, and it took him more than
two hours to check through customs and sign all the papers
and answer all the questions. Mr. Reter was annoyed, and
so were the other passengers, whether they were Americans
or foreigners, he reports. Officials pawed through every inch
of every piece of luggage. "I guess they think everyone is
smuggling in jewels, or has been indoctrinated while he
was gone," grumbled the Medfordite.
Mr. Eden, listening in, said he and Mrs. Eden had been
given the same treatment upon returning from the Orient.
He also said that they found the foreign customs much more
efficient than those in their home country.
Mr. Reter wasn't through, either. He pointed out that
European countries do a lot of business with their "free
trade" airports, and that the major European airports have
bureaus where money all types from any country, can be
exchanged for whatever the traveler wants. All this adds up
to travelers going to some other country instead of the
United States, he believes.
"Fish Cost Startles Wisconsin" read a recent headline in
the Christian Science Monitor. And well it might. The writer
pointed out that in Wisconsin they take their fishing seri
ously, and spending several hundred dollars on fishing
equipment and trips is-routine. Nobody gets excited. But
when at a recent budget hearing it was disclosed that
some of the fish which Wisconsin anglers pull into their
boats cost the taxpayers as much as $180 a pound well, that
was different. It made headlines. O'.S.

CROSIER
APPLIANCE
6th & Front St.. SP 2-6011
Starting his program with
a short history of electricity,
beginning in ancient Egypt,
he used replicas of the origin
al equipment to demonstrate
the development of man's
greatest servant.
Describing and demonstrat
ing static electricity he show
ed how it is generated, how
much a person has in his body,
and how it can cause an ex
plosion if the right situation
presented itself. He explained
that this is the reason why
nurses in the operating rooms
of hospitals arc not allowed
to wear orlon or nylon uni
forms or wear metal items
while working, as they could
cause a spark, setting off an
explosion.
Mr. Haggard used a minia
ture set of buildings and pow
er lines to demonstrate his
safety discussions. Some of the
things he showed the girls in
cluded a demonstration of
how a crane boom could
touch a power line and kill
two men near it on the ground
but leave the crane operator
Extension Members
Take Safety Training
Illinois Valley - Three area
leaders of Home Extension
units attended an all-day ses
sion on traffic safety recently
in the American Legion hall
in Cave Junction.
The area women were Mrs.
Vernon Johnson, Cave Junc
tion; Mrs. R. B. Breckenridge,
O'Brien; and Mrs. Earl C.
Strohkirch, Der Creek.
Conducting the session were
Mrs. Loy Cole, county safely
chairman, and Mrs. Sue Hous
ton, Grants Pass, county ex
tension agent, n
uninjured. He showed how a
television antenna on a house
could fall across the house
power line and set the build
ing on fire.
Kile Safety
One of the things he stress
ed to the girls was how to fly
a kite safely-stay away from
power lines. He told the girls
never to use a metallic string
on their kites, it could be
deadly if it touched a line; or
a damp string, explaining that
the moisture in the air can
dampen a kite string. He em
phasized to the girls that if
they gol their kite caught on
a power line, to call Copco.
as they would send someone
to get it down-it might save a
life.
Mr. Haggard told the gills
that if they were in a car that
hit a power pole, bringing a
wire down on the car. for
them to stay in the car, if pos
sible, until help arrived. He
said that if there were danger
of the car catching fire, to
open the car door wide, and
jump as far as possible. If
they came upon such an acci
dent they should not get close
to the car, but try to rescue
the people from a distance by
pulling them out with a dry
rope or piece of clothing.
Accidents in Home
Citing many case of electri
cal accident in the home, he
said that the home is more
dangerous, electrically, than
the work done by linemen.
He showed the girls the safety
gloves and other safety equip
ment used by linemen and
frayed cords, so often found
in the home. He explained
that the girls should be care
ful around plumbing, when
working with electricity,
plumbing being one of the
best conductors of electricity
known. He told the girls of
many cases where people
were killed or injured serious
ly by being careless with elec
tricity around damp or wet
places in the home, especially
in the bathroom.
He demonstrated how the
northern lights are caused and
showed slides of electrical
burns and of downed power
lines in Medford after a
storm.
He also gave the girls infor
mation on how important
electricity is in the atomic de
velopment and in the space
age.
His last demonstration of
the program was the closed
chest heart massage, used to
revive heart cases and shock
victims.
Mr. Haggard closed his pro
gram by saying "Roddy Kilo
watt is a mighty servant, but
you must respect him."
Scout Selected For States Camp

Grants Pass, has been selected
to participate in the first
Girl Scout all-states camp con
ference to explore outdoor vo
cations. It will be held in Ross,

continue in Scouting for at

careers range from directing

to working as geologists and
soil scientists.
The conference program
consists of an introduction to
career opportunities in the

and field work in three ntain

the earth sciences-astronomy,
