Social Events Women's News Mother of 19 Really Has School Problems BEAT HEAT Beat the heat with unbaked n, mold- r-nmhin i m. traffic jam at the bathroom ' Hnnr isn't mittf ai thirle as By DAVID LEONARD United Press International Carmel, Calif. - lUPl) - So you think you've got prob lems. Mom, petting your three or four children ready for school? Relax, and take a look at what faces Mrs. Francis Beardsley, of Carmel, who is getting 13 of her 19 children ready for grades one through 12. Does the thought of getting 13 children up and out in the morning bother her? "The children react beau tifully as long as they know what is expected of them," said Helen Beardsley. The Bcardsleys made na tional headlines last Septem ber when they were married. Mrs. Beardsley, the widow of a naval lieutenant, Richard North, had eight children. Beardsley. a widower, and ? warrant officer in the Navy, had 10. A nineteenth Beards ley joined the clan when Mrs. Beardsley gave birth to an eight-pound, eight-ounce boy July 15. The traditional morning dium-sized saucepan; one cup of sugar, one-eighth teaspoon of salt, one-quarter cup each of milk and h'.'tler or mar garine, and two tablespoons of peanut butter. Bring to roll ing boil. Reduce heat to low and cook three minutes, stir ring often. Stir in one cup of uncooked quick rolled oats and one-quarter teaspoon of almond extract. Beat until thickened and cool. Drop by teasponfuls on waxed paper. Chill well. Makes two dozen you'd expect for a family of 21, Mrs. Beardsley said. The house has five bathrooms. Spaced "Some are early risers, and others have to be pushed out of bed," she said, "so they're pretty well spread out. They're always drifting in and out of the bathrooms before breakfast." Mrs. Beardsley generally starts breakfast by 6:30 a.m. When the food is on she ram bles through the house, chas- EXPECTING?

All of the school age chil dren can tie their own shoes and comb their own hair, Mrs. Beardsley said. With 19 in the family, the kids are taught to take care of themselves at an early age. "And the older ones help a great deal in looking after the younger ones." she said. Since most of the children attend parochial schools, uni forms eliminate the time-consuming "what'll I wear to day?" problem. The 13 children attend three different schools. Two go to a nearby Monterey parochial high school, two go to Carmel public high school and the rest attend a parochial elementary school, a block from their home. Off For School Starting at 8 a.m. children begin grabbing their lunches and pouring out the front door, charging off to school at a rate of speed that makes Dagwood Bumstead look like a slowpoke. Each night one of the high school age children prepares the sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Each child takes at least two, she said, and the hungry ones some times take four. With 13 lunches to pack, the sandwich total sometimes runs to 52. "Making lunch is really something," Mrs. Beards ley said. "We've actually had peo ple come and watch the proj ect." Need less to say, Mrs. Beardsley buys in bulk quan tities, including 33-pound tubs of peanut butter. With 19 children in the house, Mrs. Beardsley expects - and receives - a maximum of cooperation. They each do their own breakfast dishes and make their own beds, she said. Most of them take care of most of their clothes. "None of the school - age children would think of leav ing without doing their chores first," she said. When school starts this fall and many mothers heave a sigh of relief as the children head for the front door, Mrs. Beardsley will look wistfully at the departing youngsters. "I'll miss the children when they go to school," she said. "They're so much help." Arizona Indian To Be Caller A well-known square dance caller, Morris Sevada, will call for a dance to be held at the new pavilion at the Jose phine County fairgrounds Saturday, September 8, ac cording to the Rogue Sis-Q Square Dance council. Mr. Sevada is an Arizona Indian. All square dancers arc in vited to attend the event and dancing will begin at 8:30 p.m. Californians Visit Ashland Ashland-Mr. and Mrs. Eric Weren, Yuba City, Calif., have been visiting Ashland and Medford friends for the past week. The Werens, who form erly made their home in Ash land, are expecting to return at a later date when they will occupy the Earl J. Fraley home on Granite street while Mr. and Mrs. Fraley are tak ing a motor trip east. mmdM ma 6 m .

Mrs. Kirkland, the former Maude Brault, writes under the name of Jai Kirkland. Scores of Rogue valley residents remember the writer, because during the years she lived here she worked as a receptionist for the Chamber of Commerce, and also for the vocational department of the Veterans' admin istration when that office was on Riverside avenue. In a letter to Potpourri not long ago, Mrs. Kirkland said her "diversified occupations" included a tour of duty at Mann's store and that since she had been an avid reader all her life, the public library had been her university. Through the use of the library she dipped into philosophy and psychology, read Freud and Jung and eventually be came interested in astrology. Too, she said that her daugh ter, Charmaine, now Mrs. Bob Hawkins, of Medford, was forever asking questions that she seemed to be able to answer better with some sort of illustration and eventually she began writing story book poems. The poems she described as "thought provoking material in symbolic form to inspire lurtner investigation of lifcs eternal mysteries.' Combing the poetry and astrology, she began a poem scries with a child as the central figure, and called it j "Mansions in the Sky." Some of this literary effort was hid den away in drawers for years at a time, but because her daughter kept nagging, she eventually put it into shape and hunted around for a market. ! Maude admits readily that the manuscript kept coming ' home "like a pigeon" but eventually Joanne S. Clancy of I Clancy Publications, which includes "American Astrology," asked permission to publish the poems in the magazine, one each month. The first appeared in the April issue, and others are following each month. Mrs. Kirkland had hoped to pub- i lish them together, but gave up this idea when the maga-1 zine offer was made. Seth Richards of Pageant Press wrote of the poem scries that "it is a magical adventure in verse which will gladden the heart and sweeten the soul of any youngster." By means ' of the poems, the child visits the "12 great kingdoms of the sky, and has adventures with Mars, Mercury, Apollo, Jupiter, etc. . . . Finally, and perhaps most important, the work is notable not only as entertainment but for the lessons of universal love and brotherhood which it teaches." The April poem told of the child's visit to Mars, the May number was the visit to Venus and the June was to Mercury. Mrs. Kirkland weaves into her stories of the journey material about other stars and groups. The series is continuing for 12 issues, and Mrs. Kirk land points out that the magazine publishes the material with an astrological chart. Maude concluded her letter with the Information that she is working on a book and several short stories but that : her time to write is limited since she and her husband are working hard to establish their "retirement home" on a piece of virgin land In the foothills south-west of Redding. She sent best wishes to Evelyn Oustcrhout, who was a re porter on The Tribune when Maude was with the VA, to Herb Grey "and all my other friends." The mail also brought to Potpourri's desk this week a copy of Helen Axtell's newest book of poems. Mrs. Axtell, who with her husband, Ranald, lives on a ranch in the Upper Rogue river area, has a gift for writing book titles as well as poetry. She entitled this book "The Shoreless Sea" and the preceding one was "Peacocks on the Tables." Mrs. Axtell and her husband grow scores of roses, and are, members and past officers of the Medford Rose society. They are especially knowledgeable about the older varieties, and grow dozens of these. Potpourri browsed through the little book last night. Mrs. Axtell writes of the emotions, the seasons, a small dog, an inch worm, friend, guests and just people. In a section devoted to "Words For . . ." she wrote a few lines of advice for parents. "Here is a kind of paradox; They are not held by tears or locks, but turn them loose when they are grown, And more and more they'll be your own." Potpourri enjoyed this little verse, also. Entitled "Perfect Lady" it reads: "She never cuts the smallest kind of caper, And doesn t know how many Joys escape her." O.S.
