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-

ing the late sleepers out of
bed.
"Everyone is out of bed by
7 a.m.," she said. "This is the
law."
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."

Readers of the magazine "American Astroloev" have been
following a poem series written by Mrs. Clifford Kirkland
of Igo, Calif., who for many years lived in Medford. 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.
