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

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.
