For 1962-63 their efforts are directed to the National Mul tiple Sclerosis society and the Institute of Logopedics. Wild Berries Pies, Suggestions Given Oregonians headed for the befell, mountains and woods this summer are likely to run across some wild native ber ries - some of which should be avoided and sume of which make up into tasty jams, jol lies and pies. Oregon State university plant scientists provide this list of some of the more popu lar ones and suggested uses. Red, black and evergreens huckleberries, all of the genus Vaccinium, are mainly found in the Cascades and in low mountains near the coast. The wild huckleberry is consider ably smaller than the blue berry and makes excellent pies, puddings, muffins and pancake ingredients. Western huckleberries are larger and sweeter and have lower seeds. Huckleberries, depending on the variety, vary from dark red to almost blnrk. The bog cranberry which is the same genus produces a small dark red berry and is found along the coast. i Make Jelly Unknown to many Oregon ians is that berries from some form of the state flower, the Oregon grape, make good Chess Expert To Present Exhibition Ashland-George Koltanow ski, international chess master and chess columnist of the San Francisco Chronicle, will present an exhibition of simul taneous play Sunday, July 1!9 ' at 1:30 p.m. at The Bard s Brook Coffee house in the Ashland Art gallery, 31 Waler street, Ashland. Mr. Kolla nowski will match chess skill with up to 30 opponents at once. At seventeen Mr. Koltanow ski was the national chess champion of Belgium. Since winning the world blindfold championship at Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1P37, he has been acclaimed for his consistent mastery of blindfold chess. Among the several blindfold play records he has set is 56 games, one at a time, in nine hours making a move every 10 seconds, winning 50 games and drawing six. In over the board play of 271 simulta neous games in 12 hours he won 2"il, lost three, drew 17.

Berries of both the high and low growing varieties of the genus Berberis arc equally good. Home economists sug gest mixing two-thirds Oregon grape and one-third salal and making fruit juices. Fruit juices can be mixed with other punch for cold drinks or made into jams. Wild blackberries, genus Rubus, arc among the most plentiful wild berries. Hima layas usually ripen first, ever green berries later in the season. Himalayas are usually bigger and sweeter and are best eaten fresh. Evergreen berries make a tart tasty pie. Also in the same genus are salmonbcrries and thimble berries which grow in moist woodlands shrubs 2 to 7 feet tall. Many people might mis take them for a wild rasp berry but they lack the rich flavor so are best eaten as found. Salal, familiar as an orna mental in many gardens, is favored for its sweet black berries which ripen in July or early August. Salal. of the genus Gaultheria, is often used in pies. Currants and gooseberries in the genus Ribcs are found along streams or other moist areas in the Cascades or along the foothills of the coast range. Jams, jellies and pies are preferred uses. The blue elderberry, Sam- bucus glauca, a small shrub ranging in size from seven to 10 feet, produces berries that make excellent jelly. Red elderberry, (Sambucus calli carpa) should not be used be cause they've been suspected to cause certain stomach up sets. Blue elderberries com bine with wild grape and make a jelly that's tasty served with next winter's roast pork, say home econo mists. Wild plums (of the genus Primus) are found In some southern and eastern Oregon counties. Deep - reddish ones are especially good for jams. Couple Attend Family Reunion Mr. and Mrs. W. R.

Social Events Home Adviser Suggests Pictures at Lower Level With art reproductions and originals so popular today as home decorations many ques tions arise as to how to use pictures to the best advantage. Violet Hackim, home ad viser for the F. W. Wool worth company, which is the country's largest retailer of art reproductions - more than 1,473,000 sold in 1961 - has compiled suggestions that will help make a home restful, gracious and an expression of your personality. Pictures can be placed in every room; even the bath room can be more cheerful with a colorful painting on the wall. Miss Hackim notes that homes today are no long er "one tone" and can have as many decorative themes as there are rooms. "Don't be afraid to do the unexpected. For example, hang pictures on doors, around windows and doors or up stairways," she adds. In selecting paintings use warm colors to accent cool tones, and to lighten dark halls and rooms, use light colored frames or white back grounds or both. Use colors from a painting as an acces sory to add new sparkle to old furnishings or to complete a color scheme, Miss Hackim points out. When hanging pictures the accepted rule today is to hang them at eye level when seated as compared with the older custom of placing them at the standing eye level. A rule of thumb to use is to hang pic POTPOURRI Spokane. July 21 When we're on the daily treadmill and having a hard time finding a few leisure moments, we look forward to vacation time and promise ourselves to just sit and to "do nothing." The two of us are visiting the younger generation in Spokane, and the truth of the matter is that neither of us are very good "visitors." This morning, for instance, we wake up at 5:15 a.m. which is waking up time at home. And we stayed awake. The rest of the household was asleep - with the exception of Bruni, the weimaraner who was making early morning noises from her cage in the gar age, we couldn't read because we couldn't find our bifocals, we don't dare garden in someone else's yard, so at length we went for an early-morning walk. It was a fine, bright blue morning and so we walked several blocks. We admired a field of wheat, dicovered what looked like yellow snapdragons growing along the side of Pines road (inquiry proves that they are a wild variety) com mon in that area and looked over the lawns and flower gar dens that we passed. We decided that this is a late-sleeping neighborhood. We arrived back at 6:45 a.m. without having seen a soul with the exception of workers in two cars no one was gardening, walking the dog or just abroad in the land, as we were, because it was a bright, warm, July morn ing. This is a newly developed area - the homes are new, the small Lutheran church in the junior high school looks new. sins and recalled that yesterday, while talking with a Kappa Delta sorority sister who has lived here for many years, that Spokane is having "urban" troubles, like so many other cities in this country. She said "Don't go down town. It will make you feel sad. There's dozens of empty merchants are having troubles." It is the same old story -many shopping areas have developed at the edge of the city and these are draining business and trade away from the city proper. She said that the word goes around that Spo kane has 5 or 6,000 empty homes. Building of the small new houses has been so rapid that older houses are a drug on the market. Everywhere we've been, the residents are talking about how strange the weather has been - a late, cold spring fol lowed by a cool, windy summer. The wind has blown every day this week, wherever we were, which seems a bit tiresome. Luckily, it seldom blows early in the mornings, for we are on the road some times by 6 a.m., and with, an open car. a cold morning wind is too much. Thursday morning when we stopped in Twin Falls. Ida., for gasoline, the service station attendant said the thermom eter had fallen to 37 that morning, which seemed to have been a record low for that time of the year. Friday morn ing it must have been that cold, or colder, as we drove from Salmon, Ida., across Lost Trail pass at about 7.000 feet into the little Montana town of Darby, where we had breakfast in a six-stool, three-table cafe. Never have hot coffee and pancackes tasted better. Before long we wore back in Idaho again, driving by way of Missoula and west to Lookout Pass, where the high was drops quickly down into the narrow mine-filled valley through which the Couer d'Alcne river flows. As we drove along we saw several large signs urging mntorsts to leave the bears alone not to feed or "molest'' them. The signs are quite unnecessary as far as we are concerned. Both Pappy and Potpourri know better than to do anything else Kvery summer it is the same story travelers who have the mis taken idea that bears can he treated about the same as a family pel find out to their sorrow that bears are wild animals. We found the traveling from Lookout Pass through Mul Ian, Wallace and Kellogg went rather slowly because of ex tensive road construction. Because of the narrowness of the valley, in places there is hardly room for a wide high way and the river. Some of the largest carth-movmt: equip ment we've seen since watching construction of Grand Coulee dam is being used. Some of the tires were big enough to drive The Doll right through -we think. Watching the progress of the new freeway through Jackson county and traveling a couple of thousand miles through eight western States impresses one with the as tronomical amount of money it takes to build enouch high ways wide enough to accommodate all the traffic. And what is going to happen in the next few years when even more drivers ate demanding even more highways' There are those who give thought to this business of covering up so much good, fertile land. loo. We heard some whet e the other day that every superhighway clover leaf covers up about 25 acres of land. Of course, some of it wouldn't produce much food even if it was planted Some of it, however, is fine, rich farm land Idaho and Mnotana produced two unique sights lor these two tourists. One was a young man mounted on a horse and carrying two fishing poles, the other was two rider, a man ; and a small girl riding their horses down the railroad track i' "Litter-bugging is getting cheaper." said Pappy, as we ( bow led along in Montana, a remark w hich he had to explain j lo his frau. "Well," he said. "In I'tah the signs say there is a fine of if a motorist is caught littering the highway. In Nevada the fine is $100, in Idaho the signs says 550 fine for litter-buggir. and here in Montana it is only $25 " OS MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON tures eight or 10 inches above a piece of furniture. If you really want to be right in fashion hang paint ings together in a large group. They can be a mixture of different styles, sizes and framing. Or, they can be groups of pictures all the same style subject and same style frames, or, Miss Hackim suggests, they can be paint ings combined with other wall accessories. Pictures can help shape a room. For example, to make a low ceiling seem higher hang tall narrow paintings vertically, and to make a room seem wider and a high ceiling lower hang pictures horizontally in a row. To make close walls seem further away use paintings with a feeling of distance such as landscapes. In a basement room where there is no view try hanging landscapes or seascapes for an outdoor feeling. With a nar row window hang pictures to either side to make it appear wider and to provide balance. A jutting chimney wall can become an asset by simply covering it with pictures. Do the same to hide wall jogs or pipes. A dormer window area or odd corner can be made to appear cozy with a set of matching pictures.

(UPI photo) US Adoption Laws Are Criticized by Director By CLAIRE COX New York UPD Thousands of unwanted children are growing up in institutions be cause of chaotic adoption laws in the United States, a social service worker charges. Verrill Rogers, executive director of WAIF, an organi zation founded in 1953 by Jane Russell to find homes in the United States for foreign orphans, said that nearly a million American couples seek to adopt children every year but that fewer than 100.000 youngsters are made available. There are many children overseas who are adoptablc, but various stumbling blocks such as immigration laws and ! other red tape and high ex i penses keep the number low, she said. WAIF for example, after nine years in operation, recently found a new home I for its lO.OOOlh orphan a Greek boy adopted by an American couple, i "Despite all the red tape in I adopting a foreign child." j Miss Rogers said in an inter j view, "it still is easier to adopt a Greek child than a ' child in a foundling hospital in the United States. ; Laws Differ "Adoption laws differ from state to state. Some states have excellent legislation and some, dreadful. It is still legal in one state to deed a child, the way you would buy or sell a piece of property." "A service man in Japan married a Japanese girl." she continued lie brought bis i wife and children home, i Their marriage is not legal in his stale because of their ra cial difference. He cannot adept his own children he cause they are half Japanese." Miss Rogers said that child welfare agencies are trying to draft uniform adoption laws for consideration by state legislatures to get flu I- rircn out of institutions and into homes. Way Sought Ways are being sought, for example, to force parents to give up children that they in stitutionalize for various rea sons In many places. Miss Rogers said, a parent is al lowed to limit his visits to a child to once a year but at tile same time refuse to give the child up for adoption by a couple n ho would give hint a real home "We arc hoping for laws that will provide homes for these children.'' she s.ud Miss Kusseil. as tiic he. id of WAIF, a illusion of Interna tion.il Social S,-ri ice. lnc , ias invited to arue the c.ise for more liberal adoption laiis al the National Con'oT-eiu-c of Legislaiois in Seattle in June Uniformity "We hope to en uniforiMiy cn'iitu.i'.'.i .
