POTPOURRI Guests at the garden party which Beta Upsilon chapter of Beta Sigma Phi gave at the country home of the R. A. Skinners last Tuesday night are still talking about it. The night of the benefit event, the guests kept saying to one another "this is one of the most beautiful parties ever given in Mcdford" or "isn't this wonderful?" Imaginative planning, hard work, efficient organization, etc., go to make up a successful benefit event. Add to this a lovely home, beautiful garden, a full moon, an entertain ing program, a good fashion show and-last but not least Miss Oregon for 1962 as a special guest all this added up to success. Beta Upsilon members had another point to brag about Wednesday morning. After Tuesday night the members, aided by their husbands ana daughters, went to work and by midnight had cleaned up the patios, lawns, and kitchen, washed the dishes, packed up everything that had been borrowed and were ready to leave. "You wouldn't have known that almost 250 people had hoen milline around the house and gardens until 10 o'clock," said Mrs. Larry Rose, the president. The chapter already has started thinking about another party another year, and in view of their efficiency, perhaps the Skinners won't mind loaning tneir nome anomer ume, Mrs. Skinner is the chapter sponsor. ,,.y.-' Mj' , Kr ' J ; III Jjy. '.' ' Like everyone else, Potpourri dislikes to admit that this department makes mistakes. However, the truth of the mat ter is that we gave one of the chapter members the wrong name when we published a picture concerning the party plans. Pictured above, (left to right) are Mrs. Alvin Hopper and Mrs. Arven Reynolds. Before we said that Mrs. Reynolds was Mrs. Douglas Plumlcy; both women maintained a tact ful silence, but another member called to point out the error. We apologize. Recently Potpourri had a friendly and informative note from Mrs. Ida Simon, whose husband, the Rev. John E. Simon, is pastor of St. Peter's Lutheran church. She wrote: The white or yellow lilies which you mentioned as simi lar to the violet ones seen locally are adder's tongue, of the spring lily family. The white ones are known as avalanche lilies, the yellow as glacier lilies. They grow in profusion on on the slopes of Mt. Hood (we saw them in Ml. Rainier Na tional park) otten peeping through at the edge of the melting mow. One of the delights of hiking around Mt. Hood on the Timbcrline Trail is to come upon a whole meadow of avalanche lilies nodding in the breeze. (The glacier lilies are not quite so common.) One of these days we may iflDD nt ifxilna in IHnnHru uIM Gilkey book of Northwest Flowering planls and could not find olnior .unlnnpho lllln. mxnlinnrvi- Hip rlnsrrinl Inn nf adder's tongue didn't sound like tongue which are almost identical to the while and yellow lilies which grow on the high mountain slopes in Washington and Oregon. Pappy agreed with Mrs. Simon and said that in his mountain-climbing days, members of the Yakima Cas cadians had called the flowers glacier or avalanche lilies. Mrs. Gilkey describes four or five varieties of crythronium (the botanical name for lamb's tongue is crylhonium) and says they are pure white, golden yellow, rose pink or cream colored no mention of lavender. Then we looked in our ncwe.st wildflowcr book, one by Samuel Gottscho, which was a gift only last week from Sandy the Cub, and he lists the flower as trout lily, adder's tongue of fawn lily. FB looked In the dictionary and found the same flower also called dog tooth violet (a name we've heard around here, too) and the color description is purple, white or purplish-pink. Come to think of it, we don't re member ever seeing the name lamb's tongue in any of our books. As we said we may give up the whole idea of trying to identify wildflowers. OS. EXPECTING?

They get numerous letters from children asking for in formation or literature. And it's no-nonsense correspond ence. The children come di rectly to the point. For example, a budget minded little boy in Killduff, Iowa, sent this request: "Please send me any FREE information or pictures. If its FREE. Thank you." And a request from a youngster in Petaluma, Calif., occasioned some head-scratching on the part of the public relations staff: "Gentlemen: Will you please send me your. Thank you, Joey." A young lady from Walnut Creek, Calif., wrote: "South Pacific: I would like some information on Cali fornia. Because our class is studying California." Simple, clear and to (he point, isn't it? And a little girl from Cheyenne, Wyo., wanted no misunderstanding about her request: I would like to have a lit tle pamphlet about different ways we travle. At benool, we are learning about way's we can travle. My teacher would like to know if you can send me a pamphlet about different way we can travle. I would be happy if you could send me one." And a youngster from Rhode Island had this re quest: "I have a hobby of collect ing timetables. I would appre ciate any old or new passen ger, frieght and employees that you could possibly send. Thank you." The public relations depart ment conferred about that one for a while, and finally decided against sending a cou ple of steno-clerks. A San Francisco girl show ed evidence of liking to touch all bases. She wrote: "I am In the fifth grade. In our class we are having term reports. My report is Mississippi. It is due this week. I would like you to give me some information on my 'P'C' lf vou dn'1 nBV,e any Information, please tell me who to write lo. In a hurry, please."

MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOBD, OREGON 1 MM sti'M.- & 'lit; tained during the afternoon, Mrs. R. T. Moore of Rogue Valley Manor and Miss Adabee Seller. The guests especially enjoy ed the view of the valley which can be seen from the terrace outside the living room of the West home. and the woodworking hobby room has provided handsofe storage-chest seats for all the equipment and resting. The forenoons are popular for this sport, since it is shady then on that side of the building. Also, croquet on a nearby lawn is a well-liked game. A large grass court for out door bowling-on-the-grcen has been started. The lawn is growing nicely there, but it will take a heap o' rolling and hard work on it yet. No actual bowling before next summer. Until the landscaping strip on the west rim has been com pleted, members have instal led temporary h orseshoe pitching facilities. The stakes have been placed at the av erage distance for men mem bers and the women are pro testing. We definitely must stand up for our rights here, as well as in Washington, D. C, you known.
