Nehru's Coat Is Latest
Influence on Fashions
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Woman's Editor
New York-d'Pli-Coats worn
by Prime Minister Nehru of
India are copied so often in
fall and win
t e r fashions
for women
that the
office wag de-
4 cided "Nehru
f should win
this year's
fashion critics
Ma award.'' The
Gay Pauley award goes to
to the one person tradition
ally a designer who by vote
of about 75 fashion writers
representing wire services,
syndicates, dailies and fashion
magazines, is called the most
influential on styles in any
given year.

ed, buttoned center front from
its narrow standup collar and
hangs tunic fashion to the
knees.
Started by Tour
The term Rajah first began
to be heard in designer and
manufacturer circles after
Mrs. John F. Kennedy's tour
of India and Pakistan earlier
this year.
Several of her costumes had
the Rajah silhouette with var
iations no collar, for in
stance, buttons only to the
waist and made, of course, in
feminine colors and fabrics.
The same variations of the
coat of an Asian potentate
showed on Seventh Avenue
where it's January in June as
the manufacturers show, and
sell, buyers fashions for the
next season.
Most of the pace-setter lines
already have been seen. And
here, head to toe, is how they
decree the stylish women will
be dressing come cold weath
er: Hair Smoother
Head-Smoother hair styles,
with the bouffant look out,
the "marienbad" in. The' lat
ter is short, flat, with a plas
of bangs swept across the fore
head, almost hiding it. Nam
ed for the hairdo worn by
the star of the movie "Last
Year at Marienbad." Hats,
plenty of turbans and a lot
of hats titled to a dizzy angle
on the side of the head. Hats
on models in the show rooms
mostly were large. Fur hats,
plentiful.
Neck - Muffled. Designers
show long, rectangular scarves
of fur or of the same fabric
as the costmue looped up to
the chin. Or wide collars turn
up to shut out winter breezes.
Shoulders-In coats and suits
about evenly divided between
the natural, curved line and
sleeves set in for slight raise,
like the sleeve treatment of
a man's jacket.
Sleeves - Long again on
coats and suits, hitting wrist
bone instead of stopping at
mid-forearm. Sleeveless, on
dresses paired with coats and
jackets.
Bodice-Natural line to most
clothes, although some of the
Rajah coats have a high-rise
to the bosom the way the but
tons are set on or the way
the garment is stitched.
Waistline Natural
Waistline-Natural, frequent
ly belted, as in the case of
the trench coat being copied
even for evening. Not cinched
in so -far as most daytime
clothes are concerned. Many
designers favor the princess
silhouette which shapes in at

For Girls
Organized
The Sunbeam troop toured
the Medford airport June 19
with their leader, Miss Esther
Long. After the tour the girls
enjoyed a picnic lunch at
TouVelle park.
The Sunbeams are a group
of young girls, ages 6 to 10
years, sponsored by the Sal
vation Army. It is an inter
national organization and is
similar to the Brownies and
the Bluebirds. Though it is
sponsored by the Salvation
Army any girl interested who
is in the age range may )oin.
The group recently was organ
ized in Medford.
Groups for other ages are
the Girl Guards for those
those 10 to 13 years, and the
Senior Guards with the age
range from 14 o 18 years.
These organizations are simi
lar to the Girl Scouts or the
Campfire Girls.
'The Sunbeam program Is
designed to help each girl be
happy, useful person, to
build a love for God and to
grow into adulthood as a use
ful citizen," according to the
leader.
Thus begins as they learn
to plav and work with others.
contribute their best to their
troop and try to live accord
ing to the Sunbeam pledge,
"Do Right."
Anyone who would like
further information about the
group may contact Miss Long,

From San Mateo
Hornbrook - Mrs. Floyd
Burns made a trip recently to
San Mateo, Calif., to bring
home her grand daughter,
Renee' and Piper Stickney
while their mother, Mrs.
Juanice Stickney, spent a
two weeks' vacation in the
Hawaiian Islands. The chil
dren are staying in Hill with
their other grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. Victor Van De
Weghe, who plan to take
them back to San Mateo this
week.
Every year when we see the blossoms at Medford Rose
society's annual show, Potpourri vows to try harder to grow
show roses. We decide to prune, water, spray, disbud and do
all the other things which we presume other gardeners do
to produce such gorgeous flowers. But another year comes
and somehow, we never seem to change our ways. Pappy
does most of the pruning, and we try to keep up with the
spray schedule and some of the other chores. But when show
time arrives, we never seem to have anything in the garden
that looks like it would be worthy of exhibiting.
Some year, too, we'd like to be able to see the flowers
as soon as the show is open to the public. Since the event
is on Saturday, and that is the busiest day of all for the news
hens at the Tribune, it's always evening by the time we get
to tour the show. For instance, this Crimson Glory blossom
won the title Queen of Show, and it was said to be a truly
gorgeous blossom when it was so judged. But the day was
warm and there was a breeze through the cafeteria windows,
and before evening, the once beautiful flower was wilted.
I
sweet scent which w found delightful but some believe Is
somewhat overpowering. Some of the stalks are as high as
a man's head, and are loaded with blossoms. We fancied the
flowers were somewhat smaller and the petals more delicate
than those we had found in the Ashland loop area, but the
books list only the one tall, white lily in this area. One
author points out that they are in danger of becoming extinct
since so many have found them irresistible and dig the bulbs
either for transplanting into private gardens or for sale.
(This morning we read further about the Washington lily,
and found that Haskin lists several other names, saying that
it is unfortunate that it has no commonly accepted name
throughout its range, which is from the Columbia river
southward throughout the Cascade and Sierra Nevada moun
tains. He writes that it is known as the Mount Hood lily, as
the Shasta lily, in southern Oregon as the Mount Pitt lily
and in the Central Willamette valley as the Santiam lily. "In
intermediate points it bears other local names, each region
hoping thus to gain virtue by adopting this flower as its
own.")
In addition to being an amateur gardener, Mrs. Guches
also is a song writer. She composed the pear blossom song
which 'was sung during the annual Pear Blossom festival last
April, and has also written other songs which are used on
some of the valley radio and television stations.
A few years ago daughter sent us a subscription to that
unique publication The Carolina Israelite written, and pub
lished by that equally unique personality, Harry L. Golden.
Harry Golden's articles are pungent, earthy, homey and filled
with wisdom of a sort not often found. In the March-April
issue we found this little item, tucked into a corner at the
bottom of a column. "Queen Liliuokalani, the last ruler of
Hawaii, described the history of her islands in one brief,
succinct paragraph. 'When the American missionaries came
to Hawaii, we had the land and they had the Bible. When
the American missionaries left Hawaii, they had the land
and we had the Bible' ."-O.S.

The Oueen of Show bloom was from the Garden of Victor
Boehl, Grants Pass, widely known for his fine roses. I
Last Sunday we had one answer to our question about j
whether gardens isolated from others would have aphis and
earwigs and the other pests that drive gardeners to distrac
tion. The two of us spent the day at our woodlot on the !
south fork of Little Butte creek, and after our picnic lunch,
went calling upriver to see our neighbors, Art and Bertha
Guches. Mr. and Mrs. Guches, who are lucky enough to
have beautiful little Grizzly creek flowing through their
property, have a secluded flower garden so we asked Mrs.
G. if they had many insects. She said there were no aphis or
earwigs, but that some pesky little black beetle creatures
did some damage.
Potpourri throughly enjoyed a tour of the Guches' gar
den. To hold down damage from flooding, they terraced the
banks of the creek near the cabin with river rocks. In the
garden are many of the flowers to be found in yards in the
valley - roses, carnations, petunias and zinnias, and also
some of the native plants which grow naturally in the area.
Among the latter are the lovely native lilies which are
called mountain and Cascade lilies by gardeners and lilium
Washingtonianum by the botanists and wildflower book
authors. These were blooming last Sunday and have a heavy,

Delegate
Gives Report ;
Rogue River-The Republl- j
can Women's club of Rogue j
River heard a report by Jack j
Salter, Boys' Slate delegate,
at their June meeting. i
The speaker reviewed his I
experiences of the week spent
in Corvallis with approxi-
i mately 500 boys from other !
; Oregon High schools. He re
counted how they elected j
their officials to form a mock I
government of city, county,
and state officials. He was
elected by his group to serve
as councilman of his city and
coroner of his county.
During the week the boys .
heard speeches from visiting
dignitaries. A high point was ;
the day spent at the state
capitol building in Salem. 1
Recreational activities includ
ed an athletic program, a i
talent show, and a dance. 1
The delegate stated that he ;
believed all the boys gained
a great deal of practical ;
knowledge about our form of
government and he personally I
felt the experience was val
uable and worthwhile. He
thanked the Republican Wom
en for their sponsorship and
for sending him as the dele
cate chosen to represent
Rogue River High school.
He is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Harold Saiter, Foothill boule
vard, Rogue River.
