San Francisco, Sunday-We've lost a Sunday. 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.

by the critics.
New York Herald-Trlbun

"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

that possesses rare enchant
ment."

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.
