The calendar says it's Sunday, but this it a completely different day. We're attending spring-summer market week of the West Coast Salesmen's association, and started out the day in a most un-Sunday fashion by going to a breakfast and style (how At 8 a. m., too. The show was given by the San Francisco Fashion Industries In the Sheraton-Palace hotel, where most of the clothing firms are showing their lines to hordes of buyers from several western states. The Palace, we might add, is a mad-house and In no time at all this country cousin was thoroughly lost. The clothing lines are being shown In every suite and room on several floors of the hotel-every corridor looks exactly like the others and the little black and yellow signs at the doors are exactly alike except that the room numbers and names are different. Potpourri started the morning by tagging along with Doreen Vaughan and Clara Chamberlain of Town and Coun try. And about this time we'll wager that they wished they'd left the women's editor of The Mail Tribune at home. Doreen an efficient driver (we came down in Mrs. Chamberlain's car Saturday) and doer-of-many things, had trouble keeping the laggardly Mrs. C. and Potpourri In tow, and once or twice threatened to let us get lost. After luncheon, it happened. They got into an elevator, and it didn't look to us as it another person could possibly squeeze in (not with a brief case and a bunch of literature and our satchel-sized hand bag). Involuntarily we stepped back, the door closed In a flash and my pals were gone. Startled, we stood by the door a minute not sure what to do. We didn't know which one of those six floors they were headed for, and any other details of their afternoon. We turned away after a few seconds and ran smack into Bruno and Sara Rath of Medford-Mr. Rath had assured me during a conversation back home that we'd have to meet by appoint ment. Don t depend upon Just seeing people during market week at the Palace, he warned. So we Joined forces with the Raths, and made arrangements to take their picture Monday morning for a page we started earlier today with shots of Clara and Doreen Just after breakfast. We saw Marjorle Green and Mrs. Llzberg of Burelson's in a swarm of people in front of an elevator, but couldn't struggle near. Later, by good fortune, we saw the third of the series. By telephone tonight we hope to find the rest of the Medford buyers and complete the schedule. San Francisco photographers don't work for pennies, we discovered this morning, and the pictures are all going to have to be taken before noon tomorrow, or not at all. So, after leaving messages scattered at strategic places around the Palace, we beat an Ignominious retreat to our room at the Richelieu motor hotel and are meekly awaiting th phone to ring or to confront Doreen's accusing eyes. We hope that the two women, who faced a hard afternoon of looking at clothing lines and trying to decide what to order to make their customers happy, Just went ahead with tholr work and didn't worry about the lost reporter. Women reporters are really a pretty rugged lot. Come to think of it, buyers for clothing stores must be, too. After the first few room visits today, we're right glad that we don't have the responsibility of buying women's clothing for a store. At least under the conditions which prevail at the Sheraton Palace during market week. There were four women In the group that made the trip down yesterday, since Mrs. Hazel Hilderbrand, formerly of Eagle Point and now of San Jose, was en route home after a stay in Oregon with friends. We had a pleasant trip, talk ing like mad the whole time. A lot of conversation was about clothing, fashion, colors, why one color or style becomes the rage and another flops, In spite of costly promotion by the stores, textile people and manufacturers. We hashed over the Just-published list of world's 10-bcst-d rested women, tried to decide Just how much longer skirts are going to stay knee length and exchanged small talk and confidences Just like any other four congenial women would do. The twosome from Town and Country like to stop often when on these motor excursions, and that suited us fine. We had an early lunch at Dom's near Weed soaking up the heat that came from the huge fireplace, and then stopped at the Shasta Royal Inn for a quick look around. Doreen thinks the decor of this newish motel extremely interesting, and after the brief tour, we agreed. The dining room and bar have unusual wall treatment In shades of blue and aquamarine and the chairs are upholstered In a rich purple. The rooms have walls covered In heavily textured cloth like paper-or perhaps it Is fabric, with panel mural designs. Mrs. Vaughan was also amazed to learn that the rest of the group had never stopped at the Nut Tree at Vacavllle, so we did that, loo. The Nut Tree seems to deserve Its fine reputation there were many customers for the unusual foods and wares from the orient. We had to drive into the city after dark, but this didn't faze Doreen who whizzes in and out of the city traffic with as relaxed an air as Potpourri going from home to the Tribune. She also Is filled with information about Interesting eating spots and decided to Introduce us to Tommy's Joynt, near the Richelieu. Words fall us when It comes to this restaurant-one of the oldest In the city, we were told. Tommy's Is a small place In the dark, German manner and every single Inch of the walls and ceiling are covered with objects-pictures, pots, pans, stuffed animals wearing hats and with such strange things as toy saxophones in their mouths; fane tlowers in copper boilers, bottles, filled and unfilled, pages and advertisements from ancient publications, antique guns, and a thousand other objects. There was food, too, and we had our first sample of hot spiced potato salad In the uerman style. Tonight Doreen wants to Introduce her companions to a "piano bar"-it seems that some really new and different pianists are playing engagements in the city now. Pappy commissioned us to visit the famous "hungry I" where such groups as The Lamplighters first played. O. S. Thespians Choose Play William Saroyan's, "The Beautiful People," will be the next presentation of the Med ford High school Thespian troupe scheduled for January 24 through 26. The play will be given in the circle theater, Room 61 in the High school under direction of Mrs. Lie nor Zapell. Business rehearsals are now in progress and students are beginning to work en characterizations. Tickets are available for the play from any . member of the cast, crew, -business or production staff or may be purchased at the box office on production nights. The play first was perform ed at the Lyceum theater In New York City in 1941 and ran on Broadway for 120 per formances. At the time of its opening it was well received by the critics. New York Herald-Trlbun critics wrote at that time, "Once again William Saroyan brings sweetness, Imagination and most enchanting humor to the American theater. It still remains impossible to deny that Saroyan remains the freshest and most Imagi native new voice In the cur rent- theater and that 'The Beautiful People' is a play that possesses rare enchant ment." Members of the Thespian troupe entertained the Siski you Knife and Fork club members at the Mark Antony hotel In Ashland on January 10. The program, directed by Mrs. Zapell, consisted of songs, skits and monologues. 4 Hanson on Canadian, Alaskan Tour Philip Hanson, well-known player and director of the Or egon Shakespearean festival, more recently known for his Company of One, solo per formances, is on a .six-week tour of Canada and Alaska. Mr. Hanson will observe his 200th solo performance at the Allied Arts auditorium in Cal gary, Alberta, Canada, on Sat urday, January 2S when he will present My Name Is Aram by William Saroyan.

Central 772-7111 THRIFTY GREEN STAMPS Choral Group Next Attraction The Gregg Smith singers, a choral group made up of 13 women and 10 men, directed by Gregg Smith, will appear as the second presentation of the 1962-63 Jackson County Civic Music association series. The concert, scheduled for Sunday, January 20 at 8 p.m., In the Medford 'High school auditorium, Is optn to mem bers of the association. Termed by some reviewers the "most distinguished chor al ensemble to be presented to the American public in al most a decade," the group of young Southern allforni ana Is currently making its third 10-week tour of this country and the European continent. Their repertoire ranges from the complex contempo rary to the music of the Renaissance and includes clas sic choral works and Ameri can folk music. The group began' in 1955 when Gregg Smith, gradu ate teaching assistant in the music department of the Los Angeles campus, University of California, gathered a group of music students and young musicians interested In singing the new music and rarely-performed old works. Almost two-thirds of the original Gregg Smith Singers are still with the choral group. Their ages average be tween 25 to 26. All are graduates of music from universities or colleges in southern California, and many of the singers double as instrumentalists. t least half of the group has had works published or perform ed. Several are church choir conductors. AAUW Branch Plans to Study Local Merchandising, Advertising Practices A study of merchandising and advertising practices in the Medford area will be made by the Medford branch, American Association of Uni versity Women, it was de cided following a program on consumer problems Wednes day evening of the local branch. The study will try to deter mine the reason for the high cost of living here in compar ison with a relatively - low wage level. The decision for such a study was made after consid erable comment during and after a panel discussion on "Why Shoppers Go in Cir cles?" Beware of the salesman who selects you for a "special" deal, members of the Medford branch were advised at last Wednesday's meeting at the home of Mrs. Herbert Seitz. Participating in a panel dis cussion were Mrs. Lloyd Bish op and Mrs. A. J. Johannson, with Mrs. Emerson Anderson, moderator. Beware of Gimmicks Awareness of the various sales gimmicks is Important to every consumer so that he can avoid being lured into costly purchasing mistakes. Mrs. Bishop explained that some of these gimmicks are the phony telephone quiz, being selected for a special deal, your home being selected as a model to introduce a new building ma terial, and payments for a product being made by get ting appointments with your friends for the salesman. A 1 1 door-to-door salesmen are required to obtain licenses from the Medford Licensing bureau, which in turn gives the Medford Police depart ment a list of licensees, it was pointed out. The householder should check with either of these agencies to be sure a salesman is legitimate. Even so, before any contract is signed, the h o u s eh o 1 d e r should read it carefully and be sure facilities are available locally to back up guarantees and give needed service, Mrs. Bishop emphasized. Accord ing to the Medford Chamber of Commerce, more com plaints are received regarding fraudulent photographic of fers than any other kind. Uniformity in labeling food products would be a boon to consumers, Mrs. Johnson ex plained. More than 600 addi tives are used in food process ing now. Although producers are required by law to list any such additives used, some times finding such a list is a real puzzle for the shopper, but a necessity in cases of special diets or allergies. Printing the contents of a can or package directly below the names of the product would be a time and temper-saver, it was stated. Better dating of packages 'containing ingredients subject to deterioration is another im provement homemakers should insist on. This Is important in products containing leavening and jelling agents as well as in products subject to spoil age, according to -Mrs. Jo hannson. Although labeling of food products needs improvement, labeling of textiles and furs now protects the consumer. All fibers used in textiles must be identified. Furs must be called by their true English names and if bleached or dyed pelts are used, they must be so Indicated. There then followed gen eral discussion of misleading; advertising. Particularly ob jectionable is tha "bait and switch" method whereby aa item advertised at great sav ing is one of a kind or one tt a few used merely to entice) the prospective purchaser Int a store. The salesman then proceeds to "sell" another, usually mora expensive model, because the advertised Item has been sold. Other pet peeves war artl ficlal "list prices" and "sp clal sales" of Inferior good that were purchased by . store particularly for salea. The reluctance of certain stores to accept the return of goods unsatisfactory for one) reason or another waa anotlt er common experience. Hostesses for the meeting were Mrs. Herbert Massinger, chairman, Mr. Richard Schwann, Mrs. Wallace RaV Inson, Miss Josephine Koppei and Mist Elizabeth McGaUl. ard.
