10 A High School Latin Club Banquet Held The Latin club of Medford High school held its annual banquet in North's Chuck wagon restaurant banquet room. The guests, attired in to gas and draped in classic gowns similar to those of an cient Rome, tried to recreate the splendor of the early em pire. Mike Whinihan, selected by the club to rule as Caesar, was introduced by Miss Julie Latham, first consul. Playing the traditional role of slaves during the meal were Miss Ann Jensen, Miss Cindi Taylor, and Miss Cathy Watson, of McLoughlin Jun ior high school and Miss Kathi Dougherty, John Casterline, and Fred Haupert, of Hedrick Junior high school. Following the meal. Miss Latham. Miss Martha Gra ham, Mike Canon, and Mike Whinihan entertained the mm The sky was a soft, spring blue; the air was just right crisp in the early morning and a balmy 80 degrees by mid afternoon, and there was enough breeze to blow the haze and smoke out of the valley. If Potpourri could have order ed weather for Easter Sunday just to suit we would have asked for such a day. On such a day as yesterday, it is easy to believe that God is in heaven and all is right with the world, or at least to hope that all will be well. We were especially pleased with the way our Easter Sunday front page for the women's section of the Tribune turned out yesterday, and hasten to give credit wncre n is due. We asked Photographer Bob Vroman to lake his camera and go hunting for pictures that would be symbolic of the end of the cold winter months and the annual re creation of the land. He chose to walk along the banks of the Rogue river and the results of his walk and camera hunting made up the interesting page. The poetic text was his also. Potpourri contributed little more than the typing out of the quotation from "The Song of Solomn" one of our favorite pieces of literature. Our big willow tree has a new stream-lined shape and just like a middle-aged overweight woman who has taken off 30 or 40 pounds, looks a lot more beautiful. We had expected improvements, of course, but the results are even better than we had thought. The young man who did the work was pleased, loo. "I've been wanting to trim this tree for two years." he said, with a voice full of satisfaction. It took him somewhat longer than he had planned he estimates that the tree is about R5 feel tall, and we must admit that both Pappy and Potpourri were dismayed at the size of the clean-up task. We know now how the pioneers must have worked to clear their land of trees. Pappy worked a few hours last week and Sunday the two of us and there is more to be done. It was hard work, but not were out driving, or fishing, Yesterday was a day for gardeners lo work let someone else go for the ride or fishing. forget-me-nots, the tulips and yellow Oregon grape were in on the red maple were flaunting their gay color and the new fronds of the sword fern are uncurling from the bed of last year's spikes. Yes, indeed. It was a day for the gardener. ' One thing was missing. The little bird which enchanted us with his plaintive song for the past few weeks must have moved on north. Last week we had several calls and con versations with those who recognized our description. Mrs. Tom Williams called to say the bird was probably a golden crowned sparrow, and Mrs. E. H. Lovcness, who stopped for a sidewalk conversation, agreed with Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Lovcness said the little song always sounded to her as if the sparrow was saying, disconsolately, "Oh, deur me." Delle Whisenant also called, and said the white-crowned sparrows have a distinctive song. Peterson's book describes the song of the golden-crowned sparrow as "three high whistled notes of plaintive minor quality, coming down the scale" and the white-crowned as "several plaintive whistled notes followed by a husky trilled whistle." Peterson adds here that "As in other other subspecies, the birds sing a bit differently In different localities" and gives rather com plete description and transcriptions as set down by various trained observers. Thumbing through Peterson's book, we bowed mentally In his direction. It lakes us weeks to discover a few facts about one bird, and we have the deepest admiration for the experts who have gathered so much information about thousands of birds, giving endless pleasure to counties read ers.

IW 225 Comfortable Clothing Said Children's Choice By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - tl'PD - In the opinion of one children's wear designer, a child becomes style - con scious about the time he or she gets out of diapers. "Per haps they know what they like in clothes even sooner." said Ann Twohig, Gay Pauley . "if they could just tell us. The children with whom I work know what they want from the time they can talk." "And what they want," she continued, "is comfortable clothes. A child loathes re strictions. Haven't you seen a little girl struggling to get out of a party dress even before the party began?" Miss Twohig said that one Friendship Night Is Observed About 80 members and guests of Olive Rebekah lodge participated in an annual Friendship night of the lodge held April 16. Mrs. Rosa Walles, an Arkansas Assem bly past president from Victor Rebekah lodge, Malneru, was introduced as a guest.

APPLIANCE 1 132 S, Central - I of the problems of designing for children concerns not the children, but the parents. "A lot of grownups want the youngsters in adult clothes." sne said. "I don't believe in tins ... in little girls being caroon copies of their moth ers. I notice the Kennedys are dressing Caroline like a child . . ." Too Old Look To Mill Twohig. the "too old" look shows in copying not only silhouettes from the aauit field, but colors as well, "Olive green shirts are fine for dad and muted plaids for mom, but children love clear, bright colors," she said. Ann Twohig. a blue - eyed brunette of 28, is chief de signer and pattern maker for Carter's, manufacturers of children's wear. Her custom ers, boys and girls, are aged six months to six years. "You ask what a single woman is doing designing for children," she said, "well, I know more about them than their mothers." Actually, she said, a whole passel of small cousins in her native New England acts as test customers. But she be lieves that being single gives her an objective approach to children's wear design because she has no set notions about styles. Miss Twohig, a native of Brockton, Mass., designed for a maternity wear company and a bridal house before she joined her present firm, in 1958. She said a child's fashion preference was one factor in designing children's wear. Another is what mother looks for - and inevitably, except for gala occasions, mother looks for clothes which care for easily - dunk 'em in wash er and dryer and back into the bureau drawer - and clothes that last through mud pies and hop scotch. The designer is not opposed to frills. As a matter of fact, she said, small girls love fussy clothes - once in a while. What does bother the de signer is a reverse trend-adult fashions aping those of the children. "I call it the 'Liz jazz'," she said. After Liz Taylor, actress. "Ruffles at the throat, ruffles at cuff, ruffles at the hem line. "At five, fine. At 52, ter rible!" 100 FINANCING on All Service or Repair Work Drive in for free estimate or Call 2-6208 WHITNEY OLDS 415 So. Riverside A7 M With Trade or handling charge; extended HART SP 2-4131
