MEDFOH'J MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1963
mm
San Francisco, Monday It's been clothes, clothes, clothes
now for two days. We've seen women's dresses and suits
end coats in all colors and sizes and styles. For spring and
'summer, that is. For in January when it is cold (San Fran
.ciscans are complaining of the cold, too) the clothing stores
must buy the garments their customers will wear as soon
. as spring comes and the weather warms up. And because
we had the idea that women would be interested in a little
.behind-the-scenes material on Spring Market Week in San
; Francisco, we're here lor part of the week. '
, Most of the people concerned seem to consider the buy
. ing process an ordeal, and few we've observed the buyers,
that is, seem to be relaxed. Most of them wear a strained,
determined air and all are in a hurry.
Take the pair we met in one of the corridors at the
-Sheraton-Palace this morning. They are from Walla Walla,
Wash., and one of them we knew back in our college days
at Pullman. We tried to set up a luncheon or dinner date,'
but the friend shook her head and said "I'd love to, but
if I'm going to get through here I have -to work every
moment. I've hardly had time to cat." In a moment the
two were hurrying along to keep an appointment. This
'appointment business was a surprise to this novice we
supposed that the buyers could just walk in to any show
:Jroom and be welcomed. It isn't that simple.
: Potpourri has done her share of work and hurrying,
Ctoo. Late yesterday afternoon we stuck to the telephone for
an hour or so, and with the greatest good luck, contacted
Mhe remainder of the Medford buyers 'We had been able
?to determine would be here. We talked to Jean Hart, the
SParker Woods and the Pickells and to Mrs. Henne. The
fpicturc-taking appointments were all scheduled and went
joff like clock-work this morning. We worked with Ted
JNeedham, who was an Examiner photographer for many
iyears and is now a free-lancer.
i? The California Fashion Industries had suggested Mr.
pNeedham, and Dorothy Patterson (sister of Ruth Reichstein
j.-and the former Dorothy Newman who lived in Medford as
a girl,) heartily endorsed the recommendation. Everything
seemed to go well and we have two rolls of film tucked
Jkway in our big handbag for Photographer Bob Vroman to
jldevelop and print. As a small Joke, we told Mr. Needham
ffthat if the films turned out to be blanks, or the pictures
;iwere out of focus, we'd demand our money back. "If these
.pictures aren't any good you not only can have your money
;.back, but I'll make you a present of the camera," was his
'retort.
During a wait between appointments, Mr. N. inquired
-what there was to do in southern Oregon as far as vacations
?are concerned. Well, we took a deep breath and in no time
;at all we told him about fishing in streams and lakes, boat
jing and water skiing, hiking, golf courses, wonderful places
rto eat and the wonders of the Shakespearean festival plays
at Ashland. He had been to Crater lake some years ago, but
has never visited the Rogue Valley.
After the photography stint was over, we accompanied
Jean Hart while she worked, and then the two of us had
luncheon at the St. Francis. The pretty oriental waitresses
wore Japanese kimonos and obi, which was especially inter
esting since Sunday night Doreen Vaughn, Clara Chamber
Iain and Potpourri drove out to Fisherman's wharf and had
Japanese-style food at the Tokyo restaurant. The hostess
and waitresses there also wore kimonos and obi, of course,
and kneeled to serve the patrons who were eating from the
Japanese style tables only a few Inches from the floor. We
confess that the three women from Medford chose to dine
at an American type table instead of sitting on our feet or
dining while reclining, as one lone young man did. We
enjoyed the meal, particularly the manner in which carrots
and parsley were cooked. The carrots had been cut into
thread-like strips, dipped into batter and fried in clusters
Parsley was cooked in sprigs in the same way - this results
in vegetables which are beautiful as well as good to eat.
The thin batter allows the color to show through, and the
vegetables look frosted.
Tonight we'll all go into a huddle and decide whether
we will have Chinese, French, Italian, German, Mexican or
Just plain American food. Maybe we'll go to New Joe's,
which Susie Hanson recommended. - O. S.

Current Education Trends
Topic for Washington PTA
Current Trends of Educa
tion was the subject for Dr.
Betty Lou Dunlop, professor
of education at Southern Ore
gon college and field super
visor of teachings, when she
spoke January 10 to members
of Washington grade school
Parent Teacher association,
when they observed Dad's
night.
"Education has been excel
lent in the past years but will
even be greater in the future
as teachers graduating now
are excellently trained in all
subjects," Dr. Dunlop stated.
She spoke on her travel to
the East coast with the Ford
foundation study group and
told of the current trend of
using ungraded classrooms
starting with the first grade.
A student can be placed on
their level of learning and
not be held back in grades
year after year. As Dr. Dun
lop expressed, fit the child
to the book not the book to
the child."
Team teaching was also ob
served by Dr. Dunlop and she
stated that it can be an ex
cellent way of teaching. A
particular subject is taught
by one teacher who specia
lizes in that one subject to a
massive group of students,
and then the students return
to smaller classrooms for
further study and research.
Another teacher then could
instruct the large group in a
different subject in a field
they are best qualified to
teach thus showing their
special talent.
More Interested
Dr. Dunlop pointed out that
students can sense the instruc
tor's enthusiasm when teach
ing their specific field, and
students appear more inter
ested in the subject when It
is well presented.
The speaker closed by stat
ing that the current trends
toward ungraded classrooms.
team teaching and program
learning will be studied and
slowly integrated into the
schools of southern Oregon.

Why this bacon will get good marks from you
This bacon slab is selected. That means we look hundreds of them
over (or leanness and firmness and tenderness. Only one out of
three is right for Armour Star.
Then we cut off both ends where the streaks of lean start to
thin out and get skimpy. Not good enough for Armour Star.
And what's left in the middle of the slab... the wide, long
slices with the broad strips of good lean meat... and enough fat to
fry up crisp... that's the only part that is good enough to go into
this package.
