Hornbrook Group Makes Fall Plans Hornbrook - The Christian Women's Community Fellow ship of the Hornbrook Meth odist church held the August meeting Thursday at the i home of Mrs. Loren Cum mins. The meeting was con- ! ducted by the president, Mrs. Ernest Adams and business discussed included the "man ning" of the group's booth at the Siskiyou county (air next week end, the purchase of study books for the youth group of the church, tentative plans for the annual fall ba zaar, and the election day dinner in November. It is possible to travel in the United States on $8 per day per person, as some advertisements in foreign lands have stated. Potpourri doubted this after our recent motor tour of several far western states, and we still think that most travelers will end up spending more than this sum. After a recent column about the subject, we had a num ber of conversations about travel costs and from Mrs. C. L. Goodwin we learned about how foreigners were traveling in this country by bus under a "99 days for $99" plan. Ida Goodwin said that her son, Robert, had met two young Frenchmen on a bus, by chance, had brought them home and from them learned about the low-cost travel plan for foreigners visiting the United States. The two young men said they had purchased their tickets for $99 each from the Greyhound bus company in Paris, and that the tickets entitled them to go anywhere the buses traveled in the United States, Canada or Mexico. When their books of blank tickets had been exhausted, they merely gave the form at the back of the books to a ticket agent, and received new ones. When the Goodwins wondered why Europe didn't re ciprocate, the young men were surprised that the plan wasn't known here and said the same service is available in Europe, only travel is by train. t Potpourri checked with Gene Teeling, district sales rep resentative for Greyhound here, who said that his company's 99 days for $09 excursion rate is part of the nation's country wide plan to promote travel here by foreigners. He said that it is considered, successful, and that the company now plans to extend it to its excursion program for those living in this country. Details are not yet final, but will be advertised later this summer, he believes. Mr. T. said that he had met many foreigners this summer, and he believes that President Ken nedy's campaign to increase travel from abroad is beginning to bear fruit. Mrs. Goodwin reported further that the young Frenchmen were saving money by not going to hotels or motels, but sleeping on the bus. Whenever possible, they planned their itinerary so that they went sightseeing by day, and traveled and slept at night. This is just fine for the young, but those with greying heads and arthritic joints are forced to pay for sleeping accommodations, at least part of the time. How ever, if one was spending but $1 per day on transportation, the remaining $7 might well be stretched over bed and board. The French visitors were both students of economics and said they felt that a full knowledge of the English language will become even more of a necessity because of the Common Market developments. They believe English is fast becoming a universal language, and said they used their English in the Scandinavian countries, in Germany and in Mexico. How ever, when they went to Quebec, they discovered they could scarcely converse with the French Canadians whom they said were using a 17th century French comparable to English of Shakespeare's time. Because of frequent visits to London, the visitors spoke English with a British accent; Mrs. Good win says it "was beautiful." While here, the two made a side trip to Crater lake. Mrs. Goodwin was fearful that the travelers might find an all-day stay at the lake boresome, but she needn't have worried. Both are camera fans - the father of one works with a firm which makes lenses for the Bell and Howell company in this coun try - and they returned to Medford filled with excitement about Crater lake. They took many pictures not only at the lake, but of scenic spots along the way; the two reported that the obliging bus driver had made so many stops for them to shoot pictures that the tour was late in returning to Med ford. They made a tour of the Shakespearean theater but were not regretful over their failure to see a play; they thought their English might have prevented them from fully en joying a production. The Goodwins took the visitors to the home of the Leonard Mayficlds, where they were welcomed and served refresh ments. The young people made plans to correspond with Robert Goodwin and the Mayfield's daughter, Karen. A recent New York Times reported about the travels of M. Francois Dessaux of Orleans, France, who with his wife had covered more than 4,000 miles in this country by bus. M. Dessaux, the "vinegar king" of France, and his wife were said to be enthusiastic about their bus tour. They had not traveled by plane because "it is too fast" and had been warned not to try a car tour because "American road signs f r t t i M "11 fi. iff ' ' 7j Ravello, Italy-Mrs. John F.

The Foxes are members of By BERNICE STRAWN Extension Home Management Specialist Oregon State University Do you ever feel that when day is done, nothing else is? You're not alone! It's no wonder some home makers are confused today with so many changes that affect housekeeping. For in stance, a while back all you needed to do the laundry was a wash board and a bar of soap. Now, with more than 70 textile fibers and an equal number of laundry products, just think how much more there is to know. Maybe you wish you had a chemist at your elbow. That's where we come in. We'll be glad to be your go-between and boil down the newest scientific information to practical terms for you. We hope these ideas will help you work smarter not harder. Are synthetic detergents harmful to elastics? For years, it's been said that elastic gar ments wear longer if washed with soap. Up until now, this has all been guess work. To day we're happy to tell you of definite answers from reli able sources. Here's the latest information. Home economists at two universities did extensive re search using soap and six kinds of detergent including the low sudsing type. After washing elastic garments SO times in each product, they concluded that synthetic de tergents are just as satisfac tory as soap for this purpose. There was no difference in shrinkage or elasticity. So go ahead and wash elastics in your favorite laundry prod uct. But do use care in dry ing. Avoid heat for fabrics containing natural rubber. Many a young mother and some older ones, too, have told us they feel they have failed as a wife and mother because they never get caught up with their work. I If this gloom grips you, think for a minute of all the types of jobs you do pur chasing agent, laundress, child psychologist, guardian of family nutrition, interior decorator, comforter of all the brood, and many more. The mere fact that you can count such a long list of ac complishments should give you encouragement. Home making is an important ca reer. It's spiced with more variety than any other pro fession. Smart Homemakers Tell Us: Avoid the annoyance of tan gled electric cords from cot fee maker, hand mixers and other small appliances when kept in a drawer. Loop each cord back and forth loosely, then push the loops through a cardboard tube (the core of a roll of waxed paper cut in half crosswise), much as you would put a napkin in a nap kin ring. Label each tube with the name of the appli ance and you'll be able to quickly find the cord you need. Even if cords are at tached to the appliances you . can use the tube to keep the cord corralled. Leave the plug hanging out, ready to connect. If shirt sleeves get twisted in your washer, try buttoning the cuffs to the front band of the garment. This will pre vent tangling and save wear and tear.
