Articles sold at Holiday Haus in Ashland must be hand
made of native materials. This one-woman business is the
brain child of Nancy Bissell Johnson, and she hospitably
offers hot tea and coffee to everyone who comes in.
Ashland Shop Features
Local Material, Crafts
Ashland Love of nature
and a flair for the unusual
inspired Nancy Bissell John
son to open a gift shop two
years ago., In keeping with
her mood was the Tudor cot
tage on the Plaza in down
town Ashland. There during
the winter holidays she con
ducted a small scale Santa
shop.
The discovery and encour
agement of craftsmen (and
women) in the community be
came her prime motive as in
dividual workers submitted
their products for approval.
Early in her venture Mrs.
Johnson ruled out the type
of fancy work sometimes seen
in the average woman's ex
change. Rather she insisted

on originality and use of na
tive products.
Last April the craft shop
moved from the Plaza to its
present location on Siskiyou
boulevard south of Southern
Oregon college campus, re
taining its name of Holiday
Haus but adding several new
features, among them after
noon tea before a pot-bellied
stove.
In a Scandinavian atmos
phere the visitor is invited
to enjoy a cup of rare tea
or coffee with Danish cookies.
This hospitality is free wheth
er the visitor is a buyer or
just a looker. Mrs. Johnson
explains that it is her Scan
dinavian ancestry that
prompted the unusual feature,
although she has lived most
of her entire life in Ashland.
Large windows let in sun
shine on the well-placed ar
ticles which range from lovely
nanamade jewelry to paint
ings, ceramics and leathers.
Unusual are many of the na
tive woods and minerals found
on the display shelves.
"I resent the importation
of cheap foreign products,"
says Mrs. Johnson, "and am
determined to restrict every-
ming in Holiday Haus to qual
ity standards. I am especially
crusading for truly local prod
ucts of this valley."
Already there are mo r e
than 50 contributors of hand
crafts. They are of all ages
and some are physically han
dicapped. The only restriction
is that each item submitted
must be original and of high
quality. Everything is sold on
a consignment basis and there
are no fees or dues.
The young business woman
is enthusiastic over the pro
motion of home products as
a means of providing local
artisans an outlet for their
talents. She also hopes to de
velop a demand for Oregon
made gifts and a greater ap
preciation by the buying pub
lic. Summer tourists express
ed delight in the unique gifts
they found in Holiday Haus
and some have written back
for additional articles.
In this interesting venture
Mrs. Bissell has the whole
hearted support and assistance
of her husband, Del, as well
as the unsolicited advice of
their small daughter and son,
Delanne, four, and Douglas,
just turned three. F.M.

From Bribing Child
New York (UPIJ Rewarding
or bribing a child with a lolli
pop or cookie can set a pos
sibly dangerous precedent.
It may set off obesity pat
terns, suggests Dr. Morton B.
Glenn, of New York. Report
ing in the "New England
Journal of Medicine," Dr.
Glenn added that if the con.
cept of food as a reward is
minimized, the development
of obesity can probably be
retarded significantly.

Physician Advises
Hospital Visitors
Chicago-lUPli-Steel yourself
against being the "sadly re
membering" type when visit
ing a friend in the hospital.
Dr. Claude L. Brown, re
porting in "Hospitals," jour
nal of the American Hospital
Association, noted that this
breed, loaded with news of
earthquakes and catastrophies
of other types, undermines
confidence patients try to
work up toward their physi
cians. You can tell if you're
the sadly remembering type
if you say - "You're looking
like your father; you're
aging so."
